@raftalks @MTCCPlc @ACC_Maldives It is the leadership that pockets most of these internal heists most likely. So why should they. Its only publics and governments money after all who cares

@MTCCPlc is showing the true face of its leadership going against its own policies, why not fire the people who is involved in the corruption immediately? @ACC_Maldives sleeping? Why wrongly accusing those who kept integrity?

#MTCC update: Ahmed Salam, widely regarded as a principled man with strong values, has been suspended from his role as Head of the IT Division over suspicions that he leaked information about the project. Meanwhile, Abdul Wahid, who just returned back from council election campaign, is ready to take over the division.

mihaaru.com/news/156330 @Midhuamsaud MTCC MD has now said the 13M project is to develop a combined app that will cover all transport services provided by MTCC including RTL ferries and buses and includes hardware cost as well. And 2M is only for the taxi component.

I taught Claude to talk like a caveman to use 75% less tokens. normal claude: ~180 tokens for a web search task caveman claude: ~45 tokens for the same task "I executed the web search tool" = 8 tokens caveman version: "Tool work" = 2 tokens every single grunt swap saves 6-10 tokens. across a FULL task that's 50-100 tokens saved why does it work? caveman claude doesn't explain itself. it does its task first. gives the result. then stops. no "I'd be happy to help you with that." no "Let me search the web for you" no more unnecessary filler words "result. done. me stop." 50-75% burn reduction with usage limits getting tighter every week this might be the most practical hack out there right now

A lot of people are talking about the “Malé Taxi” name right now. I want to share our side of the story not as a complaint, but because 10 years of hard work deserves to be heard. In 2015, we registered the business name “Malé Taxi” under Taviyani Pvt Ltd (Registration No. BN-0929/2015). That same year, we launched Kobaa Taxi, an online taxi booking service. We purchased 150 Samsung tablets from Thailand, along with MiFi devices and SIM cards from Dhiraagu, all with our own money, and distributed them to drivers ourselves. There was no funding, no backing just our own effort to build something new for Malé. In 2016, we submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Economic Development for motorcycle taxi services (RFP Ref: (IUL)101-AF/2016/77). We demonstrated the concept, but our proposal was not selected. We were then advised to apply through a new regulation, and we followed every process as required. In 2017, the ministry opened an Expression of Interest for Premium Taxi Services in Malé and Hulhumalé (Ref: (IUL)101-AF/1/2017/31, dated 1 February 2017). We submitted a detailed proposal featuring electric and hybrid vehicles, app-based booking, Maldivian drivers in uniform, cashless rides, and a phased rollout plan. We even beat MTCC on price. In the end, the project was cancelled. At that time, very few people in the Maldives believed an app-based taxi service could work so in 2017, we stopped. But we did not give up. In February 2019, we rebranded and launched Avas Ride. We started again from zero with no outside rescue. Just our own money, our own belief, and our determination to keep going. Today 7 years later Avas Ride has more than 160,000 customers and 3,000+ drivers. In 2025 alone, we completed 2.9 million rides. As a white-label platform, we faced limitations in customizing the product for the Maldivian market including constraints around integrations such as BML payment gateway ,implementation of safety features. Despite these challenges, we continued to grow and validate the model locally. In 2023, we made a major decision: to build our own platform from scratch. We began developing Avas App with a fully Maldivian team 8 developers, a CTO, a UI designer, and a product manager. We successfully launched it with a grand event, marking a new chapter for locally built technology. Today, we are preparing for an international white-label launch in Q3 this year. We proved that this model works not with government money, but with persistence, resilience, and belief in what we are building. Then, on 2 April 2026, MTCC launched “Malé Taxi Line”: electric vehicles, app-based booking, Malé and Hulhumalé coverage, and uniformed drivers. It is almost identical to what we proposed in 2017 and it uses the name we registered in 2015. We sent a formal notice regarding name infringement to MTCC on 28 March 2026. They launched anyway. There was no response, no negotiation, and no acknowledgment. Let us be clear we are not against better public transport. In fact, we have spent the last decade trying to build exactly that. But if a legally registered business name can be used by a state-owned company without even a conversation, then what message does that send entrepreneurs in Maldives.

Dear @dash8x @WhoIsFishie , were you or any developers you know invited for this bidding? 
Is Fixed Maldives known in the dev community as such an outstanding builder that open bidding wasn’t necessary? @reallynattu

A good portion of those @EpicGames lay offs are going to start their own journey as indie devs. At the end of the day @TimSweeneyEpic just saturated his own market in the long run. Wish everyone who was laid off the very best and well.

All muslim founders with projects drop a comment with your product and I will repost and show the love. I have gotten Islamic founders over 3000 new followers in just a few days (yes I counted) Let’s all help each other and rise up ⚡️⚡️💪🏽🦁🙏
Ibn Battuta@alabbaad_X

The Muslim world is 1.8 billion people. 25% of the global population. In Nigeria, over 70m Our tech infrastructure looks nothing like that. No Muslim-majority equivalent of Stripe. No halal-native investment app. No Islamic knowledge platform with serious engineering behind it

Imagine ur family member is in the ICU. Now imagine u are sitting outside on call, not to support them, but to wait for prescription instructions so u can run to an @StoMedical pharmacy and replace meds tht the hospital already has in its own stock. Tht is wht happens at @igmhmv, even in their ER. Routinely. Across every gov. With zero accountability. Inpatient medication management is not an advanced concept. U bill it to Aasandha. U manage ur stock. U don't outsource the care of critically ill patients to their exhausted families. Tht this has never been corrected tells u everything abt how much our ppl in power actually care. Called my MP @musthafa4647. No answer. Surprised? Me neither. @22halex Pls correct these issues and increase the quality of care instead of building overpriced wards for millions of MVR. @ANazim2019 @MMuizzu
