Landlord should cover this. In the past some have tried to bypass the rent cap by adding these fees, but in todays climate with rents dropping it is a buyers market and rents are negotiable.

The police are correct that that parents are probably suffering enough and charging them is not going to make them any smarter.

But would they have been better off leaving the car running with the A/C on, which is in fact illegal regardless of if a child is in the car or not?

I've been pretty lucky so far and have been flu free for a while, Mashalah.

But I've had a pretty relaxing summer.

Sorry to interrupt, this is interesting reading but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

You need to pay prior to each term.
Assuming that the fees are around 60,000 per year, this will be 20,000 per term.

UAE National Anthem

I'd like to think that these are typo mistakes which are easy enough to do with a car flying past at 100kph.
But the sceptics will probably say that the cop was sitting in his office making up rego numbers to put on fines.

Re: Why Dubai's Islamic Austerity Is A Sham

I doubt that any practicing muslims have ever had love with anyone else other than a hooker or their wife. And the less connected they are to a hooker, the less guilt their is to bear, which leads to less respect for woman in general (que female circumcision). Fascinating logic. Are you saying that...
