I would agree - considering that the UAE is is only 37 years old (I'm older than that!) then it really is a bit naive of people to expect that it will have the same laws and regulations in place as some of the oldest developed nations in the world.
Yes there are some things they could do better - and there are some laws that need better enforcement - but they are getting there. The rate of growth of the economy and society has been phenomenal - for people to whine that not everything is as well done in other more developed countries is rather petty.
It's a young country - give it a chance and it will get there. After all the countries of Europe have had hundreds of years and they still havn't got it all right.
