President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has said the People's Majlis will continue to review legislation during the current recess period.
Speaking on 9 November, the President noted that important bills remain before committees. He indicated that members would not pause all work simply because the house is in formal recess.
Several bills related to the Rasmalé development, real estate, and other economic measures have been introduced in recent weeks. Opposition members have called for fuller debate and, in some cases, a public referendum.
The President has previously stated that the government will not take steps that undermine the constitutional foundations of the state. He has also pledged that land in Rasmalé will be available to eligible Maldivian applicants.
Parliamentary officials have not yet published a revised sitting calendar. Committee meetings can continue during recess under existing rules.
The remarks came during a wider discussion of the legislative agenda for the remainder of the year.
