Dear Maramiya group blog advisors,

I am an Indian citizen presently trying to flourish my family life in the Maldives (known fondly among my folks as ‘peeal of strings’). Since i work in the accounting sector I also now and then get curious about the business men in the country and how they interfere with local politics.

Unfortunely I am writing to tell you about some info I received which might be difficult to gulp you MAramiya blog advisor. The information, which was revealed by a reliable source says that Maramiya itself is a cover up by three leading compnaies in Maldives (Cyprea Pvt Ltd, Universal and Champa). At first I did not know what to think. But later i found the logical side of it. All heads of these compaanies serve the Gayoom govenment invarious capacities as advisors and financial and business partners.

Could i be really true that these big time companies who iterally run teh country have turned to Maramiya so trying and confuse the public about actual happenings?

Koli Ali Manik is Net Worth $17.0 billion USD!? You guys really want to sound as if you’re filthy rich billionaires don’t you? Do you know what of a figure you are talking about here? Michael Dell (CEO of DELL Inc.) is Net Worth $16.4 billion USD, and you’re telling me Koli Ali Manik is richer of a bastard than Michael Dell himself? This stuff really makes me want to laugh off at your face.

You know who else is less worth than Koli Ali Manik? Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft. who’s worth $15.0 billion. LOL. And Lakshmi Mittal, the famous owner and billionaire of Arcelor Mittal Inc. is equally rich to the Chief CEO of Maramiyya Group. Ha ha! Bite me, wannabes. State your true figures, you guys aren’t poor. Just don’t become wannabe’s.

Perhaps you’re speaking of the total amount of money earned throughout a person’s entire lifespan. Get real. Retards.

As all of them are anyway Business related to the Goverment,…
instead of wasting money on totally nonsense things,..
think about it to improve the education and status of health for all Maldivians !
Your country grow way too fast,… as well because of the “top ten” guys ,…

If you want to impress me,… then publish a list of the People on this list, who perform the education and pushed the terms of innovation !!

Till then Dagobert Duck’s of Maldives,… keep dreaming !!
Your people with thank you !! and those are your employees of tomorrow.

This is a fake list, what about those who have Swiss accounts? You will never know, for sure, who is the richest. And how the money came from!

This is utterly outrageous. Do you even know what a controlling share is? And how can you have a controlling share of Micheal Dell? Or did you mean Dell Inc? Even then, don’t you reckon The Financial Times would have pointed out in the recent Mergers & Acquisition activities that a controlling shareholder of Dell Inc is a businessman from the small island nation of Maldives?

No doubt these people are wealthy. But being billionaires? How can Maldives, one of the poorest countries in the world, have more billionaires than the United Kingdom?

I have checked the forbes billionaires list of 2008 and none of these names are in that list.
