"Presents" from HH Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan to Emiratis on UAE 40th anniversary

      On the eve of the 40th National Day, President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan yesterday issued a set of historic resolutions aimed at raising the living standards of Emiratis.

     The salaries of Emirati federal government employees will be increased from January 2012, according to one of the decrees. The resolutions also allow the children of Emirati women married to non-nationals to apply for citizenship when they turn 18.

    I think that this is the right decision of UAE government because it will help to increase the percentage of UAE citizens in UAE, especially that the percentage of UAE citizens in UAE is less than 20%. In addition, this decision shows that the UAE government doesn't want to discriminate women in UAE, due to the fact that they want to give Emirati women the same rights as Emirati men have. 

May be one day UE government will start giving the citizenship for people who born in UAE and to invest in development of UAE. There is a small probability of that but hopefully one day UAE government will come up with such a new rule. 

      In his capacity as the Ruler of Abu Dhabi, Shaikh Khalifa also announced the allocation of 2,500 plots of land in Abu Dhabi to Emiratis. Additionally a decree was issued establishing a fund with a capital of Dh10 billion to handle the personal loans of citizens with limited sources of income. Employees in the rank of under-secretary and assistant under-secretary will get a special raise of 35%of basic salary.According to the resolutions, while judicial authorities will receive a 100% raise in basic salary, Ministry of Health employees will receive a 100% raise in their work nature compensation. There will be a 100% raise for government teachers.

    

      This type of "presents" from His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan was made in order to demonstrate UAE citizens that UAE government appreciate the loyalty of the citizens as well as the citizens. It leo shows to foreigners that UAE government does everything just to see their happy and to increase the standards of UAE citizens.

The world most expensive car accident should alert UAE government

        The most expensive car accident happened on December 5, 2011 on the Chūgoku Expressway in Shimonoseki, south-west Japan. Thirteen sports cars, including eight Ferraris, three Mercedes and a Lamborghini Diablo, were involved in a crash. Ten people were taken to hospital with minor injuries following the crash on Sunday morning, which also included a Nissan GT-R Skyline and a Toyota Prius. 
       The majority of the drivers involved are reported to be foreign car enthusiasts, with several of the supercars now written off to be used as scrap metal - an estimated £2million's worth.

       As some sources claim a Ferrari driver hit a central barrier after losing control of the car while trying to overtake another vehicle in wet conditions. The road was closed for nearly 6 hours in order to clean the road from the cars.

       This accident should alert us because on the roads of UAE we see a lot of people who like to race on their sport cars. It is clear that people who own luxury and expensive cars don't care about the radars and fines, because they have "an unlimited" amount of money. However, these type of people don't understand that in the car accident not only the car will be damaged but also it may take a number of innocent lives that were driving to their work, to pick up their children, or just to go to the cafe or mall to spend their free time. Why should people who don't care about their lives and money should take away lives of an innocent people?

        In my opinion, this car accident should be a perfect example for UAE government what may happen in UAE and that means that UAE government should start thinking of making the driving rules more strict than they are now.
