Former MDP chairperson Fayyaz Ismail has said an MDP administration would revoke the agreement for the Rasmalé development if the project continues with UAE-based developer Eagle Hills without public consultation.
He made the statement amid ongoing debate over the large-scale reclamation and development project. Opposition figures have raised concerns about transparency and the terms of the deal.
The current government has defended the project as important for housing and economic growth. Critics have called for a referendum or greater public disclosure of the details.
Fayyaz’s comment reflects the MDP’s position that major land and development decisions should involve public input. The party has previously questioned aspects of the Rasmalé arrangements.
The project involves significant reclamation near Malé and has been a recurring topic in political discussion.
