‘One brave boy saved the president's life,’ spokesman says'
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka - The president of the Maldives was saved from assassination Tuesday when a boy scout grabbed the knife of an attacker who had jumped out of a crowd greeting the leader, an official said.
President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom was not hurt, but his shirt was ripped when the attacker tried to stab him before the boy and security guards intervened during the event on the small island of Horafushi, said government spokesman Mohammad Shareef.
“This fellow in the crowd with a knife in his hand attempted to stab the president in his stomach,” Shareef said by telephone from Male, the capital. “But a 15-year-old boy came in the way, and grabbed the knife. One brave boy saved the president’s life.” read more

That was my second anniversary at Laguna Maldives.. 12.07.2007.
Just after few days later I moved one of the most renowned countries in Asia “Singapore”. That was a new era to my life. People around me were very helpful and kind. I saw amazing engineering, which I have never see in Maldives. Nice buildings, Roads, and most importantly efficient transport system. On top of that the security, which was the greatest satisfaction I had. I like the food, especially some Malay food which I had never tried before. Though I miss my family very much, thanks God, I got an accommodation with very kind Young Couple. They treated me like their family member. I also did my level best to care them anyway possible.
Honestly!!! I noticed one thing. These people like to live in cold environment, although the average temperature throughput the year was 27 to 32 C. to be continue…
