I am not supporting the ill treatment done towards Expatriate workers - I have even written an article on it. But I was just referring the above one to a comment someone did on my photoblog. If you have read the whole thing with focusing on this phrase "why are there so many expatriate workers and what are they doing here"? then you would have understand my concern. Neither I am saying that they need this treatment in any of the sentence above, all I am saying is that first let a basic citizen enjoy the freshness of breathing some good and healthy air. I was bringing the present state of living of a Maldivian into the limelight by lighting a bulb on expatriate workers. All I am saying is that - before you let an expatriate worker live in a fully furnished home (actually many over paid expatriate workers are living in such condition at present), look deep into your society and see how the locals are suffering.

It's as if they are not humans at all. I am sure the current government's neglect of not incorporating civics into our education system is to be blamed for all this xenophobia. Down with Maumoon.

Are you saying that if Maldivians live in bad conditions, expatriates should live in worse conditions? To be straight forward being a Maldivian in this country means they have to be treated better than any other human???? I don’t understand what you are trying to say here?
