What an amazing country
Win a football match and get half a million.
Memorize the Quaran at the age of 5 and get 100,000.00.
Win a football match and get a house as a gift.
Work for the government all your life and still not be able to afford a house, sit waiting for the Sheikh Zayed fund to allocate you money or the Municipality to give you a house.
Greta country
Hi,
the country is great and takes much better care for it's citizen than many other countries in the world. The awards are given because the people won the competitions.
Working for the government is daily routine, that secures conservative income and life style. But if the government employees are talented and work hard and get promoted, chances are there. Your name could jump to the first page of the list at the dewan and you if you have been privileged by breed, that's another bonus.
So basically work it out your way!Buy lannd and build the house your self! Many come here with nothing and turn to arrogant parvenu millionaires in few years.
Land of opportunities! ;-)
Yes, I agree, why should you wait for the government to give you land and house? No where in the world nobody is given land only because he is a national. Work it ou!
