Hey there, just stumbled across this ... know how it is - spare time after the pub ! I worked for the same overall organisation as Herve ...

JGE - delayed, no, say it ain't so. They did not even know who was going to be handing out the kickbacks 12 months ago, so how did anyone think that they would be delivering on time. If you are an investor (sorry) try asking if the deposits are held on escrow, or if they are used to bail out other p...

@Rudeboy - so now a gov.employee finds it acceptable to call someone a terrorist ? Amazing, I suppose given enough time and enough money you would manage to rewrite history to the extent that the universe would rotate with Dubai as its axis. If Herve's story is such cak and founded in so much humdru...

@Redkite Too much RedBull eh! You jump from assumption to assertion at the drop of a hat and arrive at your own derived facts. Fabulous. Everyone is entitled to their past and if government work was part of it then that is the end of it, even the little people have to sign non disclosure agreements....

And this is the product of the "local" breeding program? Dumb as a bag of hammers, sharp as a cue ball, talks the big talk but runs to daddy or the police the minute someone stands up to him. The fact that you "never heard of someone" - is a testimony to your ignorance and your g...

M'Lud the defence can not add anything as the accused has more than adequately advertised his own stupidity and clear lack of understanding of the subject in hand as he wanders through the maze of life convinced of his own adequacy and ability to decipher the signs that the world throws at him.

@RedKite How to answer that ....

@Bora Bora Hi, my understanding from a number of former colleagues who were there is that there was nothing random about their arrest and subsequent incarceration. At this point in time there are no formal charges, no detail to be revealed. The rumour is that a sum in the region of AED 1.2 - 2.0 Bil...

@ evening RK Racism against the Welsh? Oh come on, not one of the Welshmen I know could even utter that phrase without cracking up! Be honest you lost the plot and went way, way off track.

@Robbie Well reasoned and in theory, true, but have you considered build quality, utilities such as sewage and electric, infrastructure.

@Del The problem is that it is in your face in Dubai 24/7. Such practices exist in many places to varying degrees, but given that Dubai is so small and holds itself up to be a paragon of moral and religious values it is initially a shock that all of the above are practically on open display. Nowhere...

Thanks for the positive response. I honestly thought everyone knew of the issues around the planning and the expansion and ultimately the build quality in and around Dubai. The issue as a number of you have pointed out is now repeat business - where is this money going to come from. RK has hinted at...
