Dubai Forums Dubai Discussions Dubai General Chat

I see that the Sheikhs all got together this week and will be putting a limit on unskilled workers in the UAE. I certainly hope this reduces the number of dirty Indians and Pakistanis running around, scratching her balls and ogling all the women around here. I understand they are needed for Dubai to grow but they hurt the general atmosphere and feeling of the place. Go ahead, disagree but I'm looking forward to a more civilized Dubai in the future.

Uh-huh and who's going to replace them? No 'skilled' workers are going to work for the money they pay them, be carted around in scabby buses or live in ing labour camps!

Well I simply failed to see the correlation between the title of the article ‘UAE Cabinet to limit entry of unskilled expat workers’ and the meaningless, inane and bizarre content within!

As for decreasing the number of unskilled workers in the construction sector, which is considered the sector that utilises the highest number of unskilled workers, the Cabinet instructed relevant bodies to lay down a general construction index containing a number of technical criteria that ensure developing productivity in this sector, as well as decreasing the number of unskilled workers in accordance with laws that assist contracting companies in using advanced technology means in this sector.

What on this God’s Earth does this mean?

^^ That paragraph means that the authorities are not really sure exactly how to do this , I dont think a local would want to be caught dead laying bricks

Seems like the article was ripped from an Arabic daily and then run through google translate and printed as is.

Makes sense to me, although thick.

They are trying to figure out a way to use technology to continue to grow while decreasing the number of unskilled workers. They know the workers are needed to build the place, they are working on ways to do this without them.

I think they've used my munchkin's famous phrase book!

Newsflash….

WAM, The UAE Cabinet have just announced, as a result of their instructions yesterday to ‘all relevant bodies’ the signing of an MOU and delivered a LOI to Robot inventor, Wu Yulu from Beijing China. It is hoped that Mr, Wu Yulu’s expertise in the manufacture of robotic devices will be instrumental in the development of the ‘High Tech’ solution as a replacement for the smelly construction site labourer, quoted an unknown source.

It was also suggested at a meeting of Senior Executives, as a direct result of the Cabinet’s new Policies and Resolutions, that the inanimate, ex-pat, smelly, semi-skilled road sweepers, usually found begging at Traffic Lights, could be replaced with High Tech cardboard cutouts, the donations from embarrassed drivers would be collected and set off against Dubai’s fiscal deficit.

End of Transmission.

Haha, nice one!

Dillon, I hear that Mr Wu Yulu is taking legal action on the Indian Council here in Dubai for copyright infringement.

Although the robots dont have all the right knobs in the right place, they are still annoying ladies in Dubai by alternative means.

The Smash Martians were my favourite robots;

Completely nonsense.
There will never be a cap on unskilled workers in Dubai let alone technology to make them obsolete.
