Ahmed Saleem (Dhivehi: އަހުމަދު ސަލީމް) is a Maldivian politician who served as the Deputy Speaker of the People's Majlis (parliament of the Maldives). He was also the former parliament member for Hoarafushi.[1][2]
Parliament work
Saleem submitted many bills to the parliament during his legislative tenure. Some include the resolution to ban foreign vessels fishing in Maldivian waters to ease the difficulties of local fishermen[3][4], a resolution calling for the urgency of climate change around the world including low-lying countries like the Maldives.[5]
Controversies
Saleem was embroiled in a controversy when he said that civil servants should not have freedom when signed a contract.[6] Other MPs like Mohamed Ghassan Maumoon and associations such as the Teachers Association of Maldives condemned Saleem and labelled his words as mockery.[7][6]
