The Standard Raises Alarm, Says Shamaan’s Involvement Compromised Media Grant
The Standard Maldives publisher Dominion Network Pvt Ltd called for the immediate suspension of the MVR 27.9 million media grant scheme and an independent review, alleging a conflict of interest involving State Minister Ali Shamaan, whose affiliated outlet The Press reportedly received about MVR 1.34 million. The company said it did not apply for or qualify for the grant and demanded transparency, release of decision-making documentation and a new evaluation committee free of political involvement.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
