Don't celebrate Maldives Republic Day (Nov 11.) Unless you support the dictator.

For 29 years. Same president. Illegally with a gun in his pocket he came to power on Nov 11 1978.

This is a very stable country. This is Maldives. White beaches. Blue skies. Green coconut palms. And one president. Very good for economy. No parties in the parliament. Foreign investors are welcome to invest. 50% goes to president and his family and cronies.

29 years has made him the richest person on earth. Along with Bhutan's king and some Arab Amirs Gayyoom is not listed on Forbes richest people because he's a ruler (dicktator) of a country.

Happy Birthday, Dick.
