dicky saeedh joins free kimboo movement!

Dicky Saeed have joined the free kimboo group on face book!The guy who caught the kimboo..himself have joined the free kimboo movement. But there are many opposing this within MCPW and non -MCPW members of the free kimboo movement.One of the non-MCPW members is Ahmed Azhan Shameem who wants to free the kimboo more than anyone...but wants to eat it after that.so he is not happy with saeedh joining the movement.And MCPW riyaasee commission member Learsion is also having problems with this.he says that he cant trust dicky.so what do you say?we trust dicky and let him help us in this?or we feed him to kimboo?

i believe that if dicky is willing to cooperate and help us free kimboo... we must all forgive Dicky! we must not forget our cause.it is not 'hating dicky' it is 'freeing kimboo'.... maybe some other guys (you know who) out there can learn a lesson from us in this!

any wayz here are the first few posts made my dicky on the face book group.

Hi! All this is Saeed (Gahaa) also known among other names as Dicky, Kimboo, DP etc. Just to fill u in. The croc was caught on 14th February (Valentines Day) 1998. I was DP of Majeediyya then. I caught it primarily to save the kids who were swimming in the sea in close proximity to the kimboo. i also wish for it to be released/rehabilitated.

The NSS initially wanted it killed because it was a dangerous animal. But i assured Brig. Gen Adam Zahir that I could bring it safe to Male'. i did. and this is where that has led us eh?

I believe there are rumours of Kimboo being taken to Sri Lanka or S'pore/M'sia. Unconfirmed as yet. But rest assured I will sign any petition calling for the release of the croc.

No need to apologise... we all make mistakes .... my mother made one .. ME!! I think Azhan is enjoying his new liberation. And talking about liberation , methinks the croc should be freed ASAP. Am going to Male' on holiday in the first week of July. Will talk to key ppl to see what we could do to release the fellow.

Options available seem to be: a zoo in another country (with other crocs to rehabilitate); or send somewhwere for climatising and adjusting and then set it free as in Free Willy (as suggested by members of the forum earlier)! See ya later alligator(s)!

FYI the croc was exactly 4feet nine inches. But what strength in the jaws. When it snaps shut it resounds!! All I wanted was to bring it back home live without killing it. This I did... and then the police took it away. If you look in the Aafathis edition of 15th Feb 1998 you will find pictures. I shall try TVM to see if they have a copy of the video of me grabbing its snout and tying it before handing over to NSS (which they showed on the news). But this would take a while ... crocodile!

Pesticides could be the reason behind pigeon deaths at republican square - Special Investigation Committee

The recent incident of dead MCPW members (pigeons) found at Male', republican square (jumhooree maidhaan) is being investigated by a special committee formed by the MCPW riyaasee commission.One of the members of this committee (Learsion) have said that pesticides might be the cause behind the death of hundreds of pigeons at the republican square.

"It seems they have sprayed pesticide for mosquito control in to the water fountain at this place.and it is believed that the pigeons drank from this fountain,and had died of poison.Tour guides who often visit that area says 200 to 500 pigeons must have died in this incident"said Mr.Learsion.

But he further said that this is no time to come to a conclusion regarding this incident because investigation is still going on.But i guess if this is what the final report of the committee says...there would be problems for the government.Some MCPW members have already gone on coffee strikes regarding this matter to pressure the special committee to speed up their investigation and come out with the final report as soon as possible.

It have to be noted that the maldivian government have never shown any hostility against pigeons except a very few times. The famous black friday was indeed a 'very black' Friday for the pigeon populations living in the republican square area.though their homes are located in Ahumadhee Baazaaru roofs and gutters they spend most of their time at the republican square.

Special operation have been conducted by the Maldivian military forces (N.S.S) in the past for killing bats,crows and rats which are considered as pests. but pigeons have never been guilty of any crime which would fall under the Maldives Pest Control Act .There were rumors about government going to kill thousands of pigeons in 2005 and 2006 fearing the Bird flu , but it did not happen like that.So far the only animal related problem between Maldivian Government and the MCPW is the crock in kudakudhinge bageechaa children's park, but now it might might go to another level with the republican square incident.Is it really a government massacre? i guess it is too soon to tell for sure.have to wait for the final report.

Pigeons and Superstitions in Maldives.

Pigeons have been connected to many superstitious believes of Maldivians.May be it is because of their close connection, love and affection towards pigeons.Pigeons are very common domestic birds in Maldives.And i believe that our ancestors have worked hard to make the pigeons' stay in their houses were very comfortable.For example, they used to say..."if a tear drop of a pigeon falls in to a house,that house will surely be abandoned one day and will be haunted (falhuve, naamaanvaane)". Pigeons are considered some what sacred or atleast good beings.Maybe it has the roots in the old story of how Prophet Mohamed and Abu Bakr were saved by God while hiding in the Cave of Mount Thawr(sauru farubadhaige hohalha ) .If you dont know the story, here it is :

"When the people of Mecca knew Prophet Mohamed was migrating to Medina the swordsmen followed their (Mohamed and Abubakr's) tracks until they reached their hiding place (Cave of Mount Thawr) ,and one of them said 'Its entrance is covered with cobwebs, and there is a pair of wild pigeons on the threshold. Obviously, no one could have gone in without disturbing the pigeons and destroying the cobwebs.'

(note: i dunno about the authenticity of the story in islam,it is a story our parents narrated to us(and read it in an islam book at skool),....most maldvians must have heard of it.It is included in Muhammad Husayn Haykal's "The life of Mohamed"[read the page from here].It is also mention by Ibn Katheer in al-Bidaayah wa’l-Nihaayah....so there is a disagreement over its authenticity.for details see this salafi Q&A article.)

and sometimes... something about a gecko is added to the story.its like; when some one said "they could be hiding here" the gecko made the sound it makes.. (tut-tut- tuttut)...thoththoh thalhaalee in dhivehi...it is believed that by this soud...a gecko is saying "yes,yes"....now also if one says something and in the same moment a house gecko makes the sound...he will quickly say..."see,i was telling the truth.the gecko also agreed".It is said that after the gecko told the truth about the prophet and abubakr that day..it was cursed, and now it can never lie (and yes,that could really be a curse right?).

so gecko is considered a bad thing.I think gecko is always considered as something bad in islam.Prophet Mohamed is quoted as Saying:""Kill gecko, for it blew fire on our father Ibrâhîm.(Ahmad)"[source]....whatever it is.... what is important here is the part about pigeons.so lets get back to the topic.

Pigeons are also used in the traditional fanditha black magic.since fanditha is somehwhat about islamic texts and religion.Pigeons are used for different purposes in fanditha.here is one story about it.it was use to make magic to win a football match (this type of magic is called as boogal):

"At the start of the second half, three pigeons flew into the ground. All of the birds were coloured red and yellow — Victory(Sports Club)'s team colours. One of the pigeons went towards the Valencia(Sports Club) bench, and team officials caught it.When the referee went onto the field, the second pigeon was sitting on the centre line. The referee caught it and gave it to the Commissioner of the Match, Mohamed Ameez. Ameez took the bird to the referees' room.The other pigeon sat on the Victory team's penalty line until the end of the game. Although it remained still, no one dared to touch it.This is believed to be a psychological tactic used by Victory supporters to unnerve Valencia. Such tactics have been used before here in a culture where people still believe in the power of superstition and black magic.[source]".....

That's All Folks!
