I heard that in Dubai you can get white color jobs by vasta(some influence). apart from qualification you need to have somebody refering to you. It is very difficult for people who do not have many friends or are not outspoken but they do have average qualification & sincere in their work. I have seen many jobs are given to people who has influence but are not that sincere.

There are lot of takers for such jobs, especially uneducated people. Tell me where in India they pay 15K for a cleaner?? Here he can save close to 15K per month for the family.
The expenditure a month will be near to zero. So they will be able to send 13K a month to their family easily. Naturally the company will just give visa to the prospective employee not to their family. There is a salary limit after which one can take his family in residence visa.


arnabx;210556Just came across this adv. in HT today.
I guess India should ban Middle Eastern countries from recruiting cleaners through adv. like this. Rs 15K is barely enough to survive by themselves in a rooming house. Asking for age group 30+ who cannot take his/her family.
This is the govt. pay scale.

Due Process, Dubai Style
Hundreds who rode the boom have been detained

[QUOTE]Dubai authorities may have jailed several hundred executives, according to a London-based advocacy group called Detained in Dubai. The crackdown has focused on alleged fraud involving state-run real estate concerns and other companies. Dubai's judicial system, which is based on Islamic law, or sharia, has highly punitive aspects that private lawyers in the emirate say are weighted against defendants. The U.S. State Dept. issued a report in March that said the U.A.E. lacks an independent judiciary, suggesting that its courts are subject to political influence.

About 40 percent of the 1,200 people in Dubai Central Prison have been convicted of defaulting on bank loans, Human Rights Watch said in a report in January. The emirate's financial laws impose punishment of as much as four years behind bars for a single bounced check. Even after completing their sentences, some inmates remain incarcerated until their debts are paid off, something unheard of in modern times in the U.S. or the U.K., New York-based Human Rights Watch says. "Our current criminal laws are not fit to deal with sophisticated financial crimes," says Habib Al Mulla, the former chairman of the Dubai Financial Services Authority, an industry regulator. Al Mulla, an attorney, represents one of Cornelius' co-defendants. New laws are needed "to protect bona fide businessmen from the abuse that some do face under the current legal system," he adds. "This abuse has a damaging effect on the economy and the country." LOL at the "Sophisticated Financial Crime"... They jailed a person for four years for a bounced check... what can be more sophisticated than that ;)

[QUOTE]Others remain in prison as their cases inch along. Zack Shahin, a 45-year-old former PepsiCo executive from Ohio who went to work for the property company Deyaar Development, has been incarcerated since March 2008, charged, along with others, with embezzling $27 million. In a statement earlier this year, Shahin's lawyers said that for days on end, their client had been denied food, held in solitary confinement and darkness, blindfolded, and threatened with torture.

[QUOTE]Radha Stirling, a lawyer who started Detained in Dubai, says there has been a marked increase in detentions for financial crimes since last year. The majority of cases she is dealing with are related to bounced checks or other debts. "I think a lot of people relocated to Dubai as an extension of Europe, like France, Spain, or even the U.S.," Stirling says. "It was seen as very developed with a good legal system." Now, she predicts, "the average person who was once going there to seek employment or invest will shy away from Dubai."

The topic is about Dubai, yet there's plenty about Kuwait and Saudi Arabia on this thread which are totally different. Many states in the region tend to be painted with the same brush, so to speak.

Having lived in both Dubai and the East Coast, I can say that life in Dubai can be quite good depending on what sort of package you're getting from your company. Willing to answer any questions you might have.

I find the comments in this thread (e.g. the article written in Huffington Post by Johann Hari) very interesting after reading those posted in the thread where conditions in India were denigrated by a western writer.

Dubai, Kuwait, et al for all their shortcomings and blatant discrimination did provide a way out of poverty to a lot of unskilled/semi-skilled Indians who otherwise did not stand a chance in India.

As I say, "There is Sh*t everywhere in the world, you just have to decide which Sh*t you want to live with".

tejas_ryan;199331 It is definetely a great place to live.

How friendly is Dubai for dogs? I have heard that walking dogs in public parks and beaches is banned. Are there other dog friendly places, for socializing and play?

GutsyGibbon - Dubai definitely isn't the most dog-friendly place on earth. Some communities or apartment buildings have no-pet policies (mine did), usually up to the owner/owners' associations. Most of these are in the traditional neighborhoods though, newer communities such as the Greens (apartments) or Arabian Ranches (villas) are pet friendly and some even have areas specifically for dogs to play IIRC.

Dogs in most (all?) public parks and beaches are a no-go, unfortunately. Unless said 'park' is part of a larger dog-friendly community I guess.

Overall, it's not as easy to have a dog in Dubai compared to elsewhere, but many do it. It comes down to nailing the location imo.
