Supporting the 20K campaign!

The brutal autocratic government of Maumoon Abdul Gayyoom was replaced by president Nasheed by the peoples' choice. During the campaign Nasheed promised cheaper and affordable food, housing and transport. However within two years after he was seated, prices went high, private land was ripped away from the owners and we are witnessing rising air transport costs. More than 30% of Maldivians are jobless because they have no opportunity. And surprisingly the government is repeatedly "urging" the jobless but talented youth to come forward and be helpful to themselves and the country! OK, we came forward to find a few opportunities for youths holding the ruling party's membership. And now what? Members of the parliament are getting extremely high wages and bonuses. Recently they passed a bill unanimously approving a 20k bonus. Some MP's later retrained from taking the bonus due to rising public riots and campaigns against the 20k bonus. The following video is a part of the 20k campaign. Watch now!
