This is an old rumour, completely unsubstantiated. One of the biggest delaying factors was the problems they were facing with high winds at the upper levels, this was affecting the lifting of the cladding.

Some less beautiful news about the Burj financing:
A top contractor employed on the Burj Dubai has sought legal advice for a mammoth US $4.1 billion (AED15 billion) claim related to work it carried out on the world’s tallest tower, Construction Week can reveal.
Biggest claim to ever appear in the world's regional construction industry by far, if placed.

The story has since been denied here in the local press by both the law firm and the Contractor.

Not strange, since it affects those gov. companies' creditworthyness if the claim is eventually placed.
It seems to me that the Korean company is having some dificulties cashing in their contracts from the gov. backed developers. Its a common media tactic in order to get attention on servicing due payments.

These pictures, and I have some more saved, are phenomenal! I have never seen electrical storms like these anywhere else in the world. Mind you, not been that far elsewhere so I'm limited!
Was caught out in Barasti one night when one of these beauties rolled in. Stayed to watch the spectacle with a mate and what a sight!! Completely soaked, after everyone else including bar staff had left, but totally worth it.
