Heavy rain with thunderstorms & gusty winds of 40 – 50 mph will be experienced over the country.

We hope this will not prevent the SAFF Championship Cup trophy from being taken into the islands of the Maldives. Maramiyya Chief CEO spent over $257,000 for this mega project.

Several islands in the Maldives have called on the Chief CEO to bring a halt to the SAFF Championship Cup tour. The tour was arranged to allow everyone in Maldives to be able to see and touch the trophy that had been won by the Maldives National Football team in the SAFF Championships held in Sri Lanka.

Due to inflation, big budget and increase in oil price our company is filing for bankruptcy in Maldives, Dubai, UK and Singapore. Our lawyers who are married to the daughters of the Chief CEO say that we tried our best by hiring an internationally renown PR firm to maintain a blog. But due to recent uprisings by the employees we can no longer continue the blog or the huge company.

Meanwhile Chief CEO is on his way to Egypt to settle down in a golden palace he bought with company funds. Rest of the CEOs are to face trials for mismanagement and direct corruption.

We will officially announce our future from Dharubaaruge on the 11th -13th of July 2008.

We would like to thank all the tea buyers, tree huggers and blog readers for baring with us for the last 30 years.

Good bye.

Today happens to be everyone’s favorite Chief CEO’s birthday. Chief CEO is one year older than last year. Several famous people have been born on March 10.

On behalf of the staff at Maramiyya Group, I’d like to wish the founder and Chief CEO a very Happy Birthday.

“As founder and Chief CEO, I am throwing a massive birthday party to all of you. It is going to set a standard against which other larger-than-life fetes will always be measured” said Chief CEO

Maramiyya has made 2007 another landmark year in its 20 years of continued success.

I am proud to state that today the Corporation’s reach spans across sixteen countries in three continents – Asia, Africa & Australia. Its services are today available to over 1 billion people. This represents 217% growth compared with 2006.

Understanding the needs of our customers remains the centrepiece of the Corporation’s strategy. In line with the changing demographic profile in our areas of operation, the Corporation tailored its product offerings to meet the various needs of our customers locally and internationally.

Led by visionary leadership, the economy continues to grow at an unprecedented rate. In meeting the growing expectations of our customers inside and outside Maldives, the Corporation introduced varied products which underline Maramiyya’s strategic intent to continue creating value for its customers through innovative solutions. The Maramiya brand has become a distinctive sign of quality and leadership in the world, an achievement that stakeholders of the Corporation have worked toward and can take pride in.

As part of its strategy to become one of the world’s largest companies, the Corporation consolidated its position in Africa by increasing its investments to obtain more stocks in CanarTea in Sudan, Zantea in Tanzania, and Atlantique Tea, which has operations in seven countries in West Africa. In addition, the Corporation has entered Nigeria – one of the fastest-growing markets in Africa. Our greenfield operation in Egypt has rapidly grown in just over one year. Maramiyya in Saudi Arabia continues to grow rapidly, achieving 41% of market share in the Kingdom. These investments enabled the Corporation to strengthen its presence in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.

As we enter a new financial year, the Corporation is well poised to fulfil the vision set for it by our shareholders: creating value for our customers and shareholders in this dynamic and exciting world of tea, both in our home market and in the international arena that we have successfully entered.

With best wishes to you all!!

Chief CEO’s Island Resort
Maldives

Gaafu Dhaal Atoll Konotta has been acquired by Maramiyya Group International; this island was to be developed as a 225 bed tourism resort.

In Maldives where the economic wealth of the nation is in the hands of less than 1% of the population, Maramiyya Group seems to be investing an awful lot of money.

“The owners of the Island needed money, and we wanted another resort. It was a fair deal in every possible way”, said Chief CEO who declined to give away the actual figures of this transaction.

Maramiyya Group manages half of the resorts it owns. The management of the other half are leased to international hotel chains such are W Hotels, Hilton, Arab World and Kerzner Intenational. Chief CEO’s wealth will increase by quarter of a Billion Dollars with this deal, breaking his previous record.

This year marks the inaugural release of Forbes 10 Richest People in Maldives list. 

Inspirational money maker Chief CEO of Maramiyya Group compiled the list with the help of many volunteer businessmen throughout the Maldives. Chief CEO, the first Maldivian self-made tycoon who is among the world’s 100 wealthiest. 

“The goal of this list is to change the perception of what it means to be rich and show others how rich we really are. Carlos Slim Helú, Lakshmi Mittal, Warren Buffet, and Bill Gates they are all cool” said Chief CEO. 

This positive project aims to redefine richness and focus media attention on how and why the rich will get richer.

To be launched in Maldives in April

Malé , Maldives: The national Programme for the Prevention and Control of Lifestyle Diseases (PPCLD), is being launched by the Chief CEO of Maramiyya Group to keep check and prevent the alarming rise in lifestyle diseases in Maldives and Middle East. It will be kicked off in the Maldives in April 2008. Initially the programme is being implemented in seven selected atolls across the country in the first phase.  Malé Atoll, Seenu Atoll, Fuvammulah, Faadhippolhu, Thiladhunmathi Dhekunuburi, Thiladhunmathi Uthuruburi and Felidhu Atoll are the atolls where the pilot programme is being implemented.

The programme will address the following lifestyle diseases:

• Urge to buy latest expensive mobile phones every two months
• Motorbike riding around the island every two hours
• Eating out (nasigoreng and coke) twice daily
• Everybody wants to be naked and famous using internet (Facebook & Flickr, etc)
• Shoes shopping every week
• Need to show relatives and friends person’s high status (Parties, Gifts and Bedroom sets) using borrowed money or loans.
• Watching Hollywood, Bollywood and Arabwood movies and trying to re-enact them
• Need for Speed (Sports car look-a-likes)
• BIG LCD TVs (from 15 inches to 51 inches)

The programme envisages the formation of school-level health promotion committees, comprising teachers, students and parents, which can promote nutritive lunches, health camps, talks and workshops on reducing risk factors for lifestyle diseases.

Chief CEO said, “Modification in life style requires sustained interventions. Mainstreaming the agenda of health promotion is also political”

No matter where our travels take us we have always made it a point to take some time each afternoon for tea. Our schedule didn’t always allow for it but, we could squeeze it in, we savored the opportunities to sit, relax and sip a cup of maramiyya tea.

“I am delighted to introduce another blend that is just fantastic and it’s called 100% Exotic.” said Chief CEO.

Why Riba is Haram?

Moomina the recently appointed PA to Chief CEO turns out to be one in a million. According to Chief CEO Moomina holds numerous likable characteristics over his previous personal assistants, including bigger breasts, longer legs, and a smaller waist.

Though her unflagging sucking up to superiors was the key to her career advancements in the government, Moomina said that her instinctive talent for taking credit for the work of others also played a major role. Explaining about her time at the government she said she was able to steal a significant amount of the credit for others’ achievements, reaping the rewards of others’ work in order to promote herself.

A master player in solitaire, Moomina has little to no demonstrable talent to speak of, the Chief CEO is confident that she will prove skillful at finding ways to appear useful and busy.

“There are going to be some pointless changes around this organization” said Chief CEO.

The good-hearted Chief CEO allowed other employees of Maramiyya Group to promote themselves and seems to have said to write what ever position they desired and they actually got the position as they wrote. Minister of Finance and Treasury, Buruma Gasim, a long time admirer of Chief CEO followed the same strategy. Self-promotion spree has been observed in other government ministries including Ministry of Health, Ministry of Planning and National Development, Ministry of Transport and Communications and others.

A recent survey published by Ministry of Legal Reform, Information and Arts reveals mixed sentiments. The survey carried out by Maramiyya Research Center indicates that 0.2% percent of prisoners in Maldives are infidels.

According to the survey, the eighty five percent of the prisoners are still good Muslims. The survey results were given out by Mr. Nasheed, the Minister of Information and Arts at a press conference held at Fansavees the press briefing room at the ministry.

The website for the ministry says “Drafts bills on a free and fair electoral process which would allow the participation of all political parties would be sent to the Preseident (sic) by the Ministry of Legal Reform before the end of February”

Maramiyya Group today cleared the ballot papers and ballot boxes for the upcoming presidential election from customs and handed them over to the Office of the Commissioner of Elections.

Maramiyya Group won the bid to supply ballot papers and ballot boxes for this year’s presidential election by competing against major publishers of Maldives and Sri Lanka.

Chief CEO said, “We have made it very easy for the voters this time. We printed half of the ballot papers already ticked for the right candidate as instructed by the Commissioner. Votes for 15 atolls are already in the boxes and they have been closed and attached with security tape. “

The new procedures issued by the Office of the Commissioner of Elections are in an effort to reduce the time taken in counting the votes and to block any vote rigging by one particular candidate. It is believed with the new regulations the results of the election can be declared within hours.
