In a noteworthy turn of events, Ahmed Siyam Mohamed, President of the Maldives Development Alliance (MDA), returned to the Maldives last night, putting to rest rumors about his passport being withheld by the Singaporean court. Upon his arrival at Velana International Airport, Siyam categorically denied any such action taken by the court, rebuffing media reports that suggested otherwise.
Clarifying the situation surrounding his travel ban, Ahmed Siyam Mohamed asserted that the Singaporean court had indeed lifted the travel restriction, allowing him to travel back to his home country without any impediments. He expressed frustration at the lack of accuracy and diligence displayed by some local media outlets, which had previously reported misleading information regarding the status of his passport.
Addressing the media at the airport, Siyam openly criticized the lackluster reporting by certain news agencies, emphasizing the importance of responsible journalism in conveying accurate information to the public. He urged the media to uphold their duty of providing reliable and verified news, particularly when it concerns sensitive legal matters that can have significant implications on individuals and their reputation.
Additionally, Siyam dispelled rumors surrounding his financial affairs and refuted claims that he sought government assistance to settle the dues owed to Hilton International Management. He confidently stated that he possesses the capability and financial resources to repay the amount on his own. Citing his impeccable credit history, Siyam mentioned that numerous banks have placed their trust in him, which further bolsters his financial capacity to meet his obligations.
As President of MDA and a prominent businessman, Ahmed Siyam Mohamed’s return to the Maldives has drawn attention and speculation. However, his clarifications on the travel ban, financial capabilities, and criticisms against media reporting seek to shed light on the factual details of the situation.
