You should complain to the Gulf News. They've copied all your hard work writing up that information. And they didn't even credit you. Don't you hate those people stealing your content?

Even worse, they've time-stamped it to make it look like they wrote it 6 months before you did.

Lazy bastards... For some reason I'm not surprised...

You mean the Gulf News?

Gulf News or whoever, it's quite a common practice apparently to copy other people's work without giving them credit or even asking for their permission. I am an amateur photographer and it happened to me (By people though, not GN or any other papers, at least as far as I know)

I was being sarcastic. Gulf News had the original content (although they're not 100% innocent - I saw some of my content in their newspaper once, verbatim, passed off as writers' own).

Yes the copying practice is huge in Dubai try to look at the real estate web sites all of them are exactly the same same words same content

Gulf News is a great resource and I guess being a newspaper they should not do copy however this is the world we live in.

they are lazy

Thanks for the info rajajang.

What happens if somebody drives their car without a salik?

They will catch fire

Is it just me? or anyone also noticed that the salik increased? or someone breached my salik account? below's my salik log. Yes, I monitor my use.

I notied last 26Jul my account balance in salik is only 60 instead of 76Dhs. So my assumption is that the charge is now 6Dhs, and the SMS last 26Jul is correct.

However the following charges are all Dhs. 4, how do you explain that?

Im sorry, I didn't clarify that.

The amount on the logs are my own records and own log in car, but on the 26th of July, I received an SMS from Salik, telling me that my balance is only 60Dhs instead of 76Dhs. Im the only one using my car and I only use Salik once daily, as im passing by a friend just after city centre dxb for the return trip, and I always use the floating bridge.

I started to log my Salik as I noticed that It's draining fast even if im not using the Garhoud Bridge. I don't go south either, Jumeriah etc.. Start logging your salik for your personal records and you'll notice somethings wrong, honestly.
