A community portal about The Maldives with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Maldives, officially the Republic of Maldives, is an island nation consisting of a group of atolls in the Indian Ocean. The Maldives are located south of India's Lakshadweep islands, and about seven hundred kilometers south-west of Sri Lanka. The twenty-six atolls encompass a territory featuring 1,192 islets, roughly two hundred of which are inhabited by people. The country's name may stand for "Mountain Islands" or it may mean "a thousand islands". Some scholars believe that the name "Maldives" derives from the Sanskrit maladvipa, meaning "garland of islands", or from "mahila dvipa", meaning "island of women". Others believe the name means "palace".

It is with utter disgust and shock we read about the Housing Minister Aslam stating to the Maldives Parliament that they have decided to establish diplomatic relations with Israel in order to get the necessary funding from Israel and rich Jews to built sewerage systems and construct flats in the Maldives.
