Is he really oblivious of the fact that those laborers came here on high hopes and false promises?
If these people knew what they are really getting themselves in to, they wouldn't come here, that's for sure. But it's not the UAE's problem right?

So we have millions of labourers who have honoured their end of the contract - toiling day and night. But someone (the employer - the bigshots) have not kept their end of the promise, no or low salaries and providing inhuman living conditions.

In my opinion you are mistaken here. What is been discussed is the poor condition of the labours in a country who promised them something in return for their work and dedication.
It wont corrupt or interferes a country's culture.
....or you are stating that the culture of Arabs is still keeping slaves???
Sk.Mohahammad said it very clearly that there is problem in some areas and they are going to do something about it but the issue is implementing.
The government can expel iranian companies from their place just to please a so called super power but will not take proper actions to improve the situation of poor workers by making and implying a law for their security.
Why agents have a free hand in terms of hiring labours????
we all should respect any human who is doing labour to improve our life style and playing as an anonymous milestone in the development of the developed countries.

It's what I always say too. We are battling against human nature. The only difference is I don't agree human rights' arguments are always 'lame'; we can't just let human nature take its course, laws have to protect the weak from the strong.
In the UAE it IS happening, but it seems it's not fast enough for critics of the UAE. The fact that the Arab way is naturally slow and unrushed (this is just fact) is not accepted by the critics. But change is happening.
