This a comment i wrote with two comments copied for posterity below>
Dubai, the state of The World is in dispute
This is a good one in spite of the Arab (rich) bashing.
Americans never leave a car behind but the ex-wife in a foreign land when going after a new flame (bird).
Coming back to Sri-Lanka this is the only country in the world lets the sea gobbles the land with massive development projects. It lets the sea in for nearly 10 days to fill the land and our media were there to witness it minute by minute but never said a word against or "it was a stupid idea".
I call them the Prudent Presidential Pundits (P.P.P. Adviser for short).
In Singapore and Maldives the try to do an utmost to prevent erosion and advance the land front.
We do not have similar blue print to protect in spite of a major tsunami in 2005.
We do not know how to release flood water to sea in an emergency.
Recent Batticoloa flood was an eye opener and the devastation (vegetation and structural) worse than tsunami, I believe.
I have my hat's off for the Arabs at least for the project idea but not its implementation.
Sri-Lankans looks to the ships when we run short of Onions and Coconuts.
It is 6 years after the tsunami we have not planted enough trees (including coconuts).
My only advice for the Arab friends is do not take any Sr-Lankan on any board of directors in these projects even if they promise you that they will intervene with the gods and bring results!
Two comments copied are relevant to this Island too.
1. Lets see now how the rich change there mind about climate change.
2. I think they should rename the islands to "Atlantis"..
