it really is a bit naive of people to expect that it will have the same laws and regulations in place as some of the oldest developed nations in the world
These countries here had competent (many times greedy) advisors after their independences from more advanced countries, but failed to change their mentalities. They have the money to make things happen in a much, much shorter time than other countries with longer spells of human decent rights. And they change at their pace. Look at the western stuff imported from the older countries? Museums, top fashion design, F1 races, live concerts, 7* hotels, leisure parks, you name, all good stuff. Ladies of leisure are not an expensive commodity here and they are not being a western trademark lately in this region. Again pure exploitation.
The problem here is their (convenient) failing to change mentalities, and this helps their cause for continued exploitation without being checked, at least not for now.
Very little has been done no matter what these guys here say (and claim) about the little fortunes they pay to the exploited, because their earnings (or none at all) in their own countries are worse.
This is all over the place no matter what a country claims to be (not guilty).
Shame! Shame! Shame!
