New Year cancelled.
Mohammad orders cancellation of New Year celebrations WAM Published: December 30, 2008, 20:37 Dubai: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has ordered the cancellation of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has ordered the cancellation of all New Year celebrations on Wednesday as an act of solidarity with the Palestinian people. In support of the Palestinians in Gaza, who are enduring all kinds of killing, destruction and displacement by the Israeli military machinery, Shaikh Mohammad instructed all concerned authorities in Dubai to put this order in place and take necessary procedures to circulate the decision to all concerned parties. |
I support the decision 100%........cheers:ok:
|
...just hype as usual!
|
but we're going to party like it's 1999 in Abu!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Good decision.
DXB also needs to save the money! |
I guess this is Paragraph 8 in " Dubai the biggest and deepest S.H. on planet Earth" then.
W.T.F. ? and what will be the penalties for anyone caught celebrating BTW :mad: :} := Back on yer feckin camels. . . . . . It's great to pretend to be in the 21st Century, quite another thing to carry it off convincingly. |
Very good decision and I support it!!

I believe the Islamic new year's day was on December 29, this year. The Jewish one was September 29-30 (I believe). Bit late to cancel either of those so I guess cancelling the Christian (and rest of the world) New Year fun is the next best thing?
I hope someone lets the Palestinians know we all sat around having a minute's silence for them and it helped. All those Lebos who were hoping to pick up loose, drunken white women tonight must be grinding their teeth. "Oh habibdi the stars are all in your eyes tonight, *kiss kiss*...." :rolleyes: |
If they were serious about supporting the Palestinians they should have added a 10% one night tax to all alcohol sold in Dubai on New years and donated the proceeds buy humanitarian aid for gaza. Would have made a world of difference instead of a last minute change that doesn't make one bit of difference to anyone outside dubai.
Maybe we could cancel Ramadan next year if Hamas fires off rockets at Israel again:hmm: |
No fire works to show support for the Palestinians....? They will certainly be letting off a few...
|
Bl**dy typical...................they conveniently forgot to mention that Hamas has been lobbing 'fireworks' over for a considerable amount of time before they retaliated.
Thats right, cancel the christian festival that'll make a big difference:mad: |
This was simply a a stunt to make the headlines.
From what I understand, private & indoor celebrations will go ahead as planned. It is only outdoor celebratory events such as fireworks etc that will be canceled. |
Just look around you during the "Holy month of Ramadam".
Only the poor Muslims comply with it's requirements all the others just continue the party. The nice thing is that you can not beat reality. The UAE snake is eating it's own tail. Just talk to the Russion Whores that get invited to the Palace, they know what goes on behind the scene. |
MANAMA, DEC. 31, (BNA) IN LINE WITH THE DIRECTIVES OF HIS MAJESTY KING HAMAD BIN ISA AL KHALIFA, ALL CONCERTS TO MARK THE NEW YEAR WILL BE CANCELED IN SUPPORT OF THE PALESTINIANS IN GAZA.
THE CULTURE AND INFORMATION MINISTRY'S TOURISM DEPARTMENT HAS INSTRUCTED HOTELS AND OTHER TOURIST ESTABLISHMENTS TO ABIDE BY THE DECISION. AOQ 31-DEC-2008 15:58 Two minutes to four...nothing like advance notice. |
We are full steam ahead in AUH! Having a double double, without the coffee!
|
HAMas and the IDF are always at each other
Mike - from the Gulf News:
ordering the cancellations of all forms of New Year celebrations |
Why DXB and not AUH
I suppose the 311 will be very busy tonight......
glf |
nothing like advance notice. Looks like it'll be a quiet shag down on the beach for us, again. Just like last year. |
No logic in cancelling the fireworks. The feckin Hamas idots have been firing off rockets all year.:ok:
|
Now the pressure from the bad side is putting on HHS......
What a laugh ! |
