Mr Thegyepsy

Thank you, you don’t to be confused. I do, I am a banker and HR professional. I started working as a banker and moved to HR after spending many years in core-banking positions to address relevant projects. I am happy as an HR professional and an active pivotal member in internal banking committees; both areas trained me to be well-balanced in making any opinion. I hope this clarifies your confusion, though I don't think I have an obligation to disclose my professional background and prefer to keep it to myself.

Now, if you think that Bahrain doesn’t have the ability to do an air show, I think “If you have a will, there is away”. This is a challenge for Bahrain government to prove itself and use all options to achieve its ambitions either through sourcing or outsourcing, unless they have to think in one direction! (contracting agencies, experts, .etc whatever they have in mind). This is a valuable opportunity to attract investment and creates jobs for locals. A weak would consider high-net worth projects impossible; a strong one would snatch them and employs them and progress forward without limit. The million journey starts with a step and the first step is the will.

Separate to above, when I quoted the word ‘narrow-minded’ and ‘low exposure’ I made it clear that ‘SOME’ and I did not generalise, contrary to your input.

I listed many facts about Dubai’s financial system and there were no single refutable opinion about monopoly policies, money laundering, lack of transparency in sovereign funds, .etc (in fact UAE officials acknowledge these facts and I am ready to add more to the list). I was even very objective towards Bahrain and talked about the negative side of its economy. I can elaborate further if you would like, but I don’t think this forum is intended for debating economic conditions.

Thank you
