Только что узнала, Марк и Джен прилетели на 55-ый юбилей местного промышленника Филиппа Грина. Он, в свою очередь, собирается привлечь их к проблемам Мальдивских островов.

Male' - The famous J Lo has arrived to the Maldives today in a private jet accompanied by her partner Mark Anthony for the possibly the birthday bash of the year. The 'not-so-green' party of Sir Phillip Green's 55th Birthday is hitting headlines across the world. Maldives has never seen anything like this, this is definitely good for the industry. We could spend millions to market our products but this is marketing at its best.
Commenting on this huge event, a prominent reformist businessman said "we are in deed very pleased to welcome such famous people to our country," He further added "we just hope they take note of other things here than just the blue water and sandy beaches", referring to the on-going repressive system.
There is a chance that these people will take note of the very issue raised here, especially the on-going human rights issues. For example, Mr. Ricky Martin has a foundation that campaigns to protect the rights of children around the globe, whilst most of these celebrities are involved in humanitarian work. "If they read about Maldives, which I am sure they will must have, they will see the other side of the post-card," says reformists working in these resorts. "Besides, we are waiting for every and any opportunity to ask them to help us. We have special documents to give them, proving our case," said a staff working in the organising of this party.
Environmental campaigners are bound to comment on the excessive carbon emissions from the jets for this party. The carbon fingerprint is now a major issue in the west. It certainly is Green's party but it is not so green.
