The Forgotten Ones
6/9/2005
 

إن الدولة تعطي الأولوية في الاهتمام لبناء الإنسان ورعاية المواطن في كل مكان من الدولة
إن المواطن هو الثروة الحقيقية على هذه الأرض، وهو أغلى إمكانيات هذا البلد
ولا تنمية للقدرة المادية بدون أن تكون هناك ثروة بشرية وكوادر وطنية مؤهلة وقادرة على بناء الوطن. لقد أكدت السنوات الماضية أهمية الاتحاد وضرورته لتوفير الحياة الأفضل للمواطنين . وتأمين الاستقرار في البلاد . وتحقيق آمال شعبنا في التقدم والعزة والرخاء
المغفور له بإذن الله .. الشيخ زايد بن سلطان آل نهيان

Gasoline price's are up by 30%. UAE cities are busy with building the fanciest skyscrapers and big investment projects. People in our society are all busy in building, developing, investing and attracting foreigner investors. They have done all what they can do in the best way to attract many foreigners to invest in our country. On the other hand, they have forgotten the most important thing with all this development and the negative aspects of this development. The negative aspects affect directly those if we may call them “the forgotten ones”. Those people are getting lost between all the developments and living level increasing in our society. As much as there are people who can afford living in our country and they have more than they need. As much as there are people who are counted as poor citizens who can not even afford the living in a decent place without paying rents. How come foreigners can own properties while citizens are paying rents? Before all of these developments are planned, they should think first about the citizens who are counted as the forgotten ones who will be lost in the future with all the developments.
