Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman of the UAE-based Eagle Hills, is reportedly scheduled to meet with members of the PNC Parliamentary Group and government cabinet ministers this Thursday. The meeting is set to take place at the Dusit D2 resort, currently under development on the island of Feydhoo Finolhu.
According to informed sources, Mohamed Alabbar, the head of the UAE-based Eagle Hills company, is scheduled to arrive in the Maldives on Thursday morning. He is expected to conclude his visit and depart on Friday.
However, the government has yet to provide official confirmation regarding this matter. Despite inquiries directed to the President’s Office Spokesperson, Mohamed Hussain Shareef, no response has been received.
Reports indicate that during Alabbar’s visit, discussions will focus on the agreement to develop the "Maldives Waterfront and Marina" in Ras Male'. Furthermore, project details are expected to be presented to cabinet ministers and members of the PNC parliamentary group.
The meetings are scheduled to take place at Feydhoo Finolhu, with the session for Members of Parliament set for Thursday afternoon. A separate engagement with cabinet ministers, including a special dinner, is scheduled for Thursday evening.
Concerns are being raised by opposition figures and the public over the decision to lease a significant portion of Ras Malé to Eagle Hills for a period of 99 years. Public criticism intensified after the Eagle Hills website initially stated that the 99-year lease period would reset upon each ownership transfer of units within the "Maldives Waterfront and Marina." Following a backlash, this specific clause was removed from the statement, leading to further public outcry and allegations of deceptive practices.
