Housing the Supreme Court is perhaps the best idea so far proposed to make use of Theemuge, the former Presidential Palace. It would not only give an appropriate status to the building but also help to preserve the building in pristine condition.
Theemuge is important to Maldivians not because it was occupied by Maumoon Abdul Gayoom but because it was built with millions of dollars of public money and is part of our national wealth. Preserving the building in good condition is important not because it has sentimental value for the former first family but because its interior is made of expensive and delicate material, which would be damaged if unlimited access is given to all parts of the building.
Unlike the other ideas put forward for Theemuge such as operating offices, using it as Supreme Court would cause minimum damage to the building because the apex court would not be as crowded as a run-of-the-mill government office. So, let's hope this is the final idea for Theemuge for now.

Give Theemuge to Lolly Jabir.
The cruel irony is that, once again major national rulings would be made from the bedroom of Theemeu ge - where Maumoon slept. So technically, the source of national decisions would be the same as the last 30 years.
Ofcourse, I am assuming that's the best spot in Theemeuge, which the chief justice would decide to sit.
To anon 9:21, not a bad idea. But the question of ‘sitting’ or ‘lying down’ must be resolved at some point.
Theemuge goathi must be expanded by incorporatin Banadara Miskyi, Universal building and local market.

that shut put a lid on hassan saeed s
haaibath and presidency idea...
The same building which accommodated
MAG is probably going to decide where MAG is going to reside in the coming years.... dhoonidhoo!?

whats wrong with hassan saeed. he has forgten about the people and taken on the responsibility of harrasing current president.
.. so, after-all it would be our chief justice who would preside on that famed Gold Toilet
Your words may be too late to keep the place safe from damage. Already most things have been taken by Soni Annis cronies for use.
How about talking about the real issues. Such as the child abuse cases infesting the country and the death of an 8 month baby.
These issues are slid under the carpet while Soni anni sends more soni and state ministers out in his quest for power.
Look at the recent case of municipalty sarangus son freed after life sentence for selling drugs and what else. such hypocrisy.
These atrocities are taking place in broad daylight and people are worried about theemuge this and that.
Chief Justice sitting on the gold toilet seat should order Sarangu's son(One of the Gadha 6 Drug Lords identified by Soni )back to jail.
Prez Anni gets up ,decides to send National Library to Theemuge, . He gets up from his bed the next day and decides it will be faculty for technical education in Theemuge. The next day he gets up and decides it will be Language and History Centre to be located at Theemuge etc. The latest idea is Supreme Court. I hope Supreme Court goes there before the mad fellow decides otherwise.
