Good for nothing dogs!
How do you exploit the ignorance, beliefs and stupidity of a neighbour country? Well, ask Sri Lanka, who for the past 5 years have been putting up an evil Lankan smirk as we Maldivians have been fooled into thinking that the only two dogs in the country, gifts from Sri Lanka, were drugs-sniffers protecting us from the trafficking of drugs! Instead, according to the Chairman of the drug-trade investigation committee of the parliament, what we've had all along were just ordinary pet dogs - the kind you see in movies, named Tinkerbell or Rufus, who'd fetch balls and pee on evil Mrs. Cruella's cacti, and are loved by the household children.
So there are these two dogs, large fierce-looking German-shepherd types, stationed at the entrance to the airport arrival terminal, and they are both thinking, "WTF are we doing here, again?".
The Lankans are smart, you see. Remember the million dollar drug haul? Could they have had access to a classified Sri Lankan intelligence file? The file marked "Maara Confidential: Maldivians think our gift-dogs are drugs-sniffers. Adoh! Bugger, don't tell anyone!"

The first few real drug sniffing dogs that were employed by our customs were deemed crazy and then deported 'coz it only barked at certain "red passport holders" for some unknown reasons. Therefore, it only suits the system that we use these new ones from the pet shop, I suppose.
Good one, Simon.
Ah! Hehe! Deported and visas canceled eh?

Sometimes the truth is waaaay funnier than what we make up... kekeke. And what's more, it's taken us the better half of a decade to finally find out we were just keeping exotic pets that are er... considered haram for no good reason. Given this and any number of other things, is it a wonder that we are still being ruled by a dick?

there is a simple, single explanation for all these type of acts, we Maldivians are dumb-asses! And why would anyone want to believe that anyone is trying to stop the smuggling of narcotics in to Maldives?

Sad thing is that the drug trafickers from Sri Lanka were Muslim.
