We Maldivians are more then happy to have foreigners as teachers, waiters, carpenters, janitors, construction workers, IT guy, tailors, security guards, Doctors, lab technicians, shopkeepers, "Dhoni" crew, farmers, resort managers, chefs etc etc ................
We depend on other countries for almost everything else too: like Rice, flour, butter, oil, soap, toothpaste, t-shirts, shorts, jeans, underwear, internet, mobile phones, tables, chairs, fans, mattresses, pens, pencils, computers, chickens, cows, even sea walls, the tripods protecting Male'... well the list just goes on and on..
In short Maldives is an independent country, dependent on foreign workers, imported food and goods.
Having said all that, Why not we have a Bangladeshi election commission? Wouldn't it be more independent? hmmm....
good point! totally true!
