President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has called for national security and public prosperity to take precedence over lust for power and envy.
He made the appeal in a message posted on X extending greetings to the Maldivian people on Huravee Day.
Noting that nearly three centuries had passed since the historic events commemorated on Huravee Day, the President said there was a need to reflect deeply on how the world operates today and how independence must be defended in the modern era. His message also highlighted the importance of learning from history to build a brighter future. In this regard, the President said devotion to the nation must come before political sentiments, and the well-being of the community must take precedence over personal grievances.
He also called for national security and public prosperity to take precedence over lust for power and envy. The President further appealed for people to aim for a prosperous, comfortable future rather than perish in debt servitude.
The Maldives observes Huravee Day on the 3rd of Jumada al-Akhirah. The early hours of Sunday, 3 Jumada al-Akhirah 1166, marked the historic occasion when Dhon Bandaara liberated the Maldives from the Malabars. Huravee Day is observed to honour and actively revive the memory of Maldivian national heroes, and to nurture and sustain in Maldivian hearts the determination and zeal to preserve the independence and national identity those heroes secured.
