huh??

'The reasoning behind it was the fact that a 100USD monthly saving has different value in the individual's different countries. For instance, a Sri Lankan saving 100USD is of a greater value than an Australian saving the same amount because of the differences in the cost of living in the respective countries.'

...hold on a sec., If the sri lankan and australian are living/working in the SAME country, won't USD100 mean USD100 to both of them??!! Please correct me if im wrong here. Who cares what they used to earn back in their respective countries. Doesn't a loaf of bread cost more or less the same all over the UAE or does the govt. have customized pricing for canadians and others for pakistanis...I must be missing something

The house rent in the UAE must depend on nationality since '3rd' world countries have lower rent compared to '1st of the 1st' world countries, hmmm.

take it easy
