Yes I can vouch for that, having worked for one of the major news papers here, they are forbidden to write anything negative about the UAE or it's rulers or face heavy fines, sacking of the journalist in question etc etc. Many countries in the world have restrained journalism. And if the authoritie...

BbRovers is right. Loan recovery agents hire hoodlums who harass you so damn bad - people take the extreme step of committing suicide even. Who can you run to? You can't go to the authorities coz you're on the run - and this is what they take advantage of. Citibank for example is well known for such...

correct me of I'm wrong -

Since the MOL will have a copy of your contract, they will go as per what is mentioned on that copy. Dont you have a copy of what was submitted by your company to the MOL?

Any revised contract docs have to go the MOL. so the same applies to your revised salary.

There is possibly a loophole that you could use. If your contract includes amounts for accommodation and transport (as well as a basic salary), then get the company to cut back on these items. Thats not a loophole - just a renegotiating strategy. its up to the company how they are willing to distri...

dont think so....unless they alert Interpol!!! But they would find your permanent address in your home country and harass your family members back home - they can very easily find out which country you are currently residing in and follow you there....

No... this is not the issue... we all CAN and could afford credit from banks as far we keep our jobs ... the question is, WHY banks don't cooperate when they find out you lost your job???? Okay, so if you feel you can live with the credit and loans from the bank - its your responsibility - but so f...

Nope. The middle ground is the sensible person who does not live beyond his means. I am single and barely make 10k a month. Been working since in college. I own 3 used cars. I OWN a studio flat bought with cash. Never took a loan in my life. I just know how to control my spending. Same here buddy. ...

oops JHK, then it looks difficult. If you HAVE refused to sign the agreement of the pay cut - thats probably the only thing you can fall back on - but then again - they probably havent got you to sign anything during a raise either. dbxsoul, looks like there ARE loopholes - but against us! Also - no...

Well, at least they seem to have impressed one person of the whole lot of residents. Buddy, first of all, with the poor social setup here, the percentage of targeted aged persons and those with special needs is nothing compared to the whole population. In any case, they would be required to provide ...

Has anyone noticed that it seems really difficult to get good medicines nowadays. Most of the prescribed medicines are local - manufactured in Saudi or UAE, as compared to originally europe and other places - and these local ones seem really ineffective. Even worse, it is a known fact that doctors g...

the risk reward ratio is high

nope. but if you can sponsor some bugging equipment, cameras and the sorts, yup.

what i've said is nothing new and perhaps not as news-grabbing as property and rent problems - nevertheless there is no reason why it cannot take place. you've probably never paid attention -so listen and learn.

you'll anyway need a police report to file for a new labour card . the police will give you a report after their "investigation". this may take time. the other documentaion such employer's letter/trade license shiuld be the same. but your company PRO would be able to take care of that. jus...

the prescribed medicines, as doctors and pharmacists put it - is the "equivalent" of the international branded drug. There are several times I have insisted on the original medicine. sometimes they have, sometimes they dont. sometimes the doctor would prescribe the right one - but the phar...

When you do need a prescription, pharmacies will then give you your prescription back after dispensing so that you can then get another supply. Wow,first time hearing of that. but thats not right. they probably are not aware of the possible misuse. the med. insurance company would not like that.....

Not on medicines - but on the quality of medical care here - see this letter in Gulf news - from a reader Simple displeasures I would like to report the unprofessional service extended by some doctors, in a reputed medical centre, in Sharjah. I had gone for a blood test, where one doctor used three ...

why only this company? All are the same...

the dividend issue didnt deserve a big announcement. It was well understood anyway. Next quarter results will be worse.

I was temporarily blinded in one eye by one palestinian arabic language teacher in school here in UAE. we were in third grade and general talking going on in class. she came and slapped me across my face - her filthy fingers cutting across my eye. was in third grade. perhaps explains my arrogance to...

RobbyG, good post. vid may be old - but the point is made. We all knew it was happening - documentaries such as these just reinforce those theories and the sad plight of the exploited.

hey uaekid, is "looool" the only thing that comes to you? the first word you ever said? only thing you learnt in school? One track mind???

Who doesnt have a fake accent?

Indians?
Locals?
other arabs?

there's something dodgy about rudeboy him/her self. If you cant see anything in the news, you're probably a nitwit.

btw, you sound like one of them.....

Incidents such as the Sharjah facebook scam give authorities the justification to say "I told you so". For every one case that makes it to the media, there must be hundreds more such cases of exploitation. All sites - facebook, orkut and the sorts only give an oppurtunity to scamsters and ...

What would you do if.......


....if you nearly got run down by a driver, survived, and by some good luck, you got the chance to catch up with him a few meters away?

well - last night witnessed an arab guy (read west arab, not local) being trashed "nicely" by a couple of labourers for almost running one of them down. his "white" face became a nice tomato red. Anyway a lesson for those who try to run down pedestrians. Would I do the same? - Ye...

Your'e too kind.....

What would you do if....... ....if you nearly got run down by a driver, survived, and by some good luck, you got the chance to catch up with him a few meters away? did someone just ran over you???? You're too dumb to read and write....If someone ran over me - do you think I'd be posting this message?

Of course they could always do that in the ER unit of the hospital...
