“Waste management. Maldivian style.” is a blog posted on Island hopper’s diary and reads:
"...Came across this scene late afternoon yesterday. We waited around 8 minutes to get about 40 shots."

Among other things that are oddly enough in the Maldives there is a bizarre and back-breaking human act in practice in this modern times. Moving diggers. People moving and placing aluminium sheets by hand constantly to avoid crawler tracks of a running digger from damaging the road is dangerous, backbreaking hand labour that is dirty and bizarre. People's lives, even if they may be of the underclass or foreign, must not be put at high risk in the name of saving the road, which in itself is a lousy job. I have seen this myself but I believe there are no pictures in the public domain. Trust me, it is a terrible scene to watch.
Written or unwritten code, it is an unacceptable practice and a mockery to everyone and it must stop. The time to stop is now. |
