to me: superanuated, half-complete concrete jungle, built by indian slaves, with swanky apartments owned by sharukh khan and other filmstars (gifted by the royal family of dubai); a wannabe singapore town.

>>>>That was my feeling when I saw it too, but I thought that al-makhtoom(?) guy was trying to build up the economy to live up to the sizzle that was being sold. Singapore had the smarts of LKY and the energy of the Chinese to begin with. They are now tapping into exec talent and the geographic position doesn't hurt either.

>>>>I didn't mean to suggest Makhtoum is Lee Kwan Yew's equal:). The fundamentals are not there (heck, never were!), but there is an understanding in some quarters this can't go on forever and they need to take steps to address it. Doesn't mean it will happen of course. Singapore is of course a text book case of how a small country can manage its resources for optimal results. And the underlying Chinese ethos is a big part of it. Maybe the UAE guys should invite the Chinese over. Smile
