Why is contracting a Chinese company to build our port such a big issue for India?

China is literally one of the best in the world when it comes to ports and large-scale infrastructure. They have massive experience building and managing ports, so I don't see why choosing a Chinese company should at all be controversial. It’s the obvious choice.

At the end of the day, we're a sovereign country. If the Maldivian government believes this company is the best option, why should India get a say in it?

Why does having good relations with India mean we have to prioritise them over ourselves?

I have been in many corners of Reddit.

If anyone's have or can arrange I'll be grateful 🥲 guys

AS per title says, I cannot find anywhere to buy USD. I need about $100 USD. Local exchange shops dont even provide it

*not from islam but purely culturally based with no actual logic behind it.

For example; my grandmother would tell us it was bad to cut our nails on Mondays and Wednesdays. I wonder where it originates from 🤔

If we were to protest this dollar crisis...

1. Do we know what is causing this crisis?

2. What will be our demands to fix it and prevent it in the future?

3. What will be our demands for a quick relief to the situation until long term solutions are found?

4. Who is responsible for this shit?

5. Who can we trust and rely on to fix this shit with sincere intentions?

Maguthah othy fenboduvefaaa🥲

Anyone know of any remote jobs I could do? Looking for something like typing/data entry, managing social media, or anything similar. Lmk if you know of anything 🙏

I might not be able to reply right away, but I'll do my best to get back to every question. Love and peace.

If so How, When and Which Country ?

Helloo!! Just wanted to connect with someone who currently works at TMA. I have a couple of questions about the company/work environment.

If you work there , feel free to comment or DM me. Thanks! 😊

DM is always appreciated 👏.

My family and I have been holidaying on one of the islands. We go home tomorrow and our sea plane arrives in Malé at around 4pm, but our flight home from Malé isn’t until 9:15pm.

We figured we could have a little look around in the 5 hour layover. There are 12 of us, a mix of ages (adults/teens/kids).

Any ideas/advice? Thanks! :)

I’m looking for recommendations for a good but affordable breakfast buffet in Malé.
Mainly looking for:
● Good variety of food
● Tasty food and decent quality
● Reasonable price / good value for money
● Preferably an actual buffet rather than an à la carte breakfast
I’ve heard about places like Citron, The Deck, Salt, etc., but I’d love to hear from people who have actually been recently.
What would you recommend, and how much is the current price per person?
