Salaf calls for eight safeguards in development projects

Jamiyyath Salaf called on the government to embed eight safeguards — protecting Islamic identity, sovereignty, strategic independence and public benefit — into development agreements and legal frameworks, warning against the Rasmale' Maldives Waterfront and Marina project's effect on the country's constitutional status as a 100 percent Muslim nation. President Dr Mohamed Muizzu, speaking on the presidential podcast The Pulse, rejected the allegations and said Israeli citizens would be barred by law from acquiring land in the project, with buyers granted 99-year leases reverting to the state.
