So we can beat the system by hiring Mallus to get black points on their licences ?

Or did they agree to it for free (or maybe a complimentary coconut did the trick?)

There is a reason why there are so many doom and gloom articles about Dubai. Its because the official versions or PR Releases cover the other extreme, i.e. deny there are any problems and insist its boom time as usual. Throughout the world, retailers have been trying to attract consumers by price re...

Thats the main issue; people abusing their powers . If it was a level playing field, more of us could try not giving way to these morons. But when people abuse their powers/authority, it makes sense to be safe than sorry....

The situation can be decribed very simply; 1) There is nothing grossly wrong if a destitute worker is willing to share a room with 10 people and work for peanuts 2) What is wrong is when a worker comes here and finds out he is getting half of what he was told or signed on, and then he is not allowed...

It would be better if you took a class in logic/analytical thinking before posting this topic ! You are accusing BBC/media of covering up human rights abuses in tHE UK (.....we never get to hear about them...) And yet your reference is a report by the BBC. So you are accusing people of covering such...

Rudeboy, this is a "Dubai Forum" so its definitely right that you will read good/bad stuff about Dubai here. If are interested about s*** happenning in Canada, I am sure there are plenty of Canadian forums out there!

And finally before coming to the UAE, people know the deal....They accept the conditions and willingly come. This one line proves you didnt read the article... The laborer interviewed was told after arrival he would have to work 12 hours in the desert (contrary to what he was told initially).... Wh...

This article is damning in certain respects but antipodises the positive aspects recently expounded in a huge PR puff by British journalist Piers Morgan. Well said. I didnt see Dubai fanboys compalining about the documentary even though it was nauseatingly brown nosing about Dubai..... The article ...

I'd take Linda Heard's articles with a touch of salt; she is very pro-Dubai/Saudis....probably because she gets her paycheck from there... Some of her quotes are extremely sycophantic, particularly the bit below: "When I finally moved to Dubai in 1983, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. I e...

As biased an article as the Hari one....

They definitely wouldnt publish any comments that were negative.

Why is it that people either bash everything about Dubai or else praise it to the sky?

BlackburnRovers

Whats also funny is that most people who praise Dubai go on like: "Dubai is great, I have a huge villa, and 3 cars, couldnt have that back home, so Dubai is excellent for all"... Hmm, if you work in an oil company in Sudan, you can live like a king, but that doesnt mean Sudan is excelent t...

Misery, there is a point where humanity has to take precedence over "rules".

Mr Sultan had an excellent chance to refute the article but he didnt. Instead he went on a rant meaning: "Yes we have many bad things in Dubai, and theres bad things in UK as well" So???? Just because London has ills doesnt mean Dubai should have the same. I am a Dubai wellwisher, I dont c...

Naruto, law is law and I agree on that. But given that laws are bent and overlooked in so many cases (not in criminal cases but definitely in traffic or immigration matters), one exception wouldnt harm the authorities , would it? We see many cases where laws are bent depending on the person's wealth...

I never really understood the "respect for national dress" thing. Firstly, why on earth should people respect others based on their clothing? I respect elders, women, children, but based on clothes?? Secondly, even if expats gain an unfair respect advantage through clothing, why would that...

There are a no. of sides to this issue: Pro-companies: 1) Some companies provide quite good accomodation with entertainment facilities for their workers 2) Even if companies invest in housing, many laborers have no sense of hygiene and will end up making the place dirty. The ones who suffer are the ...

How do you judge if some pilots are "way better" than others ?

I understand all pilots have to be perfect in their jobs regardless of nationality, so how does one turn out better than the other?

Well, when Israel bombed Palestine, did you start a post on it?

The supervisor is a Palestinian and we should support him in solidarity with what is happening in Palestine.....

If the supervisor has a good relation with the GM, I wouldnt be surprised if any employee who tells the true version is threatened with dismissal.

I have been looking around the market, and to make your life easy, I will recommend the following: 1) First,decide whether you want an offroad vehicle or not,this is the most crucial part of the purchasing process. There is a substantial difference between offroad ready vehicles like Xterra, Fortune...

BlackburnRovers

I was thinking of the Xterra as well, as its quite fast and really good offroad. However its cons are: 1) Very basic cabin, when compared to CRV or even Fortuner 2) On road ride quality isnt that good. If you think you wont be going proper offroading more than once a year, than it may be better to g...

Their transfer budget will be less than City's for sure. A lot of shafted Hydra investors would rather that Dr. Al Fahim try to devote his time to ensuring Hydra delivers stuff on time (instead of delaying and subsequently increasing prices) instead of buying football clubs !
