Malé City Council has urged hoteliers and guest house owners in the capital to inform tourists of the importance of dressing modestly in the country’s inhabited islands.
Responding to a letter of complaint from the Islamic Ministry, city Mayor ‘Maizan’ Ali Manik has made a public announcement calling upon patrons to be more aware of the issue.
“Please look carefully at these kind of things that happen in Malé’s streets, and Hulhumalé’s streets,” said Manik.
“People have to be careful on this, because this is an islamic country. In inhabited islands, people should not walk in bikinis.”
