Dr Balakrishnan is an A-Tier example of what a politician should be Literally getting your hands dirty - he didn’t just explain and talk strategy on how to build and drive AI adoption in the country He tried it himself, understood it, and then talk through his processes in a live forum I can’t even think of 5 politicians in Ministerial positions from other parts of the world that can do this Singapore on top because our leaders are on top

Friday marks 78 years since the Nakba, meaning “catastrophe” in Arabic. It refers to the 1948 forced displacement of Palestinians during the creation of Israel. Al Jazeera’s @LinaAbuAkleh explains the historical impact and lasting consequences.

On the anniversary of the Nakba, Palestinians remember the profound loss and ongoing struggle for justice. time.com/6978612/nakba-…

The Maldives imports nearly all of its food despite generating billions from tourism each year. Building a more resilient food system will require smarter production, stronger logistics & better integration between local agriculture & the tourism economy. maldiveseconomy.mv/post/the-islan…

Good analysis. But as long as PCB members are appointed by the Executive branch, it’ll never be truly independent it’ll always function as a rubber stamp. The more crucial reform is making SOE boards and management directly accountable for their actions. Right now, they could get away with murder. 😉

Institutional change rarely happens in a single step. It unfolds through structure, mandate, and alignment of authority. Recent developments in SOE governance raise an important question: Are oversight systems strengthening at the same pace as control? maldiveseconomy.mv/post/from-over…

Meta is allowing sanctioned Israeli settler groups to monetise content while banning Palestinian accounts, including journalists. Al Jazeera's @Nour_Odeh reports.

“We lied about Vietnam. We lied about Iraq. We lied about Afghanistan. We lied about Somalia. We lied about Libya..” Former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell exposes the dark reality of US foreign policy and how American weapons ended up in the hands of terrorist groups.

Today, Israel killed a pregnant mother carrying twins alongside her two children, Hamza and Naya, in artillery shelling that struck a home in northern Gaza. At least four children are among the 14 people killed across Gaza since Friday morning. 📷 Mahmoud Hamda

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was found dead after hours of searching under rubble. She was killed in an Israeli strike, after the Israeli army fired at ambulances trying to reach her, delaying her rescue. She is the fourth journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March. She was a professional, kind and dedicated journalist, and always a pleasure to run into in the field.

Imagine sitting in a theatre in 1999 & seeing this for the first time.

Early signs of coral bleaching are now being observed in the Maldives — and both field observations and satellite data are pointing in the same direction. In Huvadhu Atoll, we are recording night-time temperatures of up to 31°C at ~10 m depth on coral spawning reefs. Under normal conditions, these reefs are around ~29°C. The difference is not just measurable — it is physically noticeable during dives. At the same time, corals around Rathafandhoo are already showing visible whitening along colony edges, an early indicator of thermal stress. These reefs are not only facing elevated temperatures, but also the cumulative effects of sedimentation from ongoing harbour dredging, which further reduces their resilience. The attached figure (based on NOAA Coral Reef Watch data) shows that the Maldives has already crossed the local bleaching threshold and reached Bleaching Alert Level 1 by mid-April 2026. While cumulative heat stress is still building compared to major bleaching years like 1998 and 2016, the current trajectory is concerning. Bleaching is not triggered by peak temperatures alone — but by how long reefs remain under elevated thermal stress. If these conditions persist into the coming weeks, we could see a rapid escalation from early stress signals to widespread bleaching. Reefs already under local pressure will be the first to tip. We will continue monitoring both spawning reefs and bleaching progression closely over the coming weeks. #CoralBleaching #Maldives #CoralReefs #ClimateChange @CoralReefWatch @MMRI_Maldives @ERA_Maldives @MoEnvmv @ICRI_Coral_Reef @UNEP @Shammaan @Turqoiselabmv @Turqoiselabmv @AyaNaseem @ecosm_mv @SavetheBeachVM
