More Indian Schools in Abu Dhabi
Posted by Zulfikhar Ahmed, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on Wednesday 21 October 2009 at 22:30 UAE time
As one Big grioup of Indian School is about to close down in next 2 years in Abu Dhabi, request Delhi Public school or Gems grioup or any other group to start here since there is less choice of Indian schools compare to Dubai.

No Refunds Paid

Security Deposit is not returned by the Property Management Company
I had stayed in a villa for 4 years. Upon vacating the villa my security deposit refund was held by Betterhomes who were the managing the property on behalf of the owner. All the contracts and final documentation stated that after acceptance security deposit will be refunded. I vacated 13 days ahead of end of tenancy date and returned all keys in good faith to the property manager of Betterhomes. Now more than a month has passed and no refund yet.
Surprisingly, Betterhomes corresponded with me saying that owner did not received any deposit from the previous owner whom he bought the property, which was not mentioned earlier. If though it is landlords mistake and not mine? Since I moved in the property were transacted twice (changed hands).
As a well known property company Betterhomes know this very well.
Can you please publish my letter in order for people to aware and not to trust anyone, not even a reputed firm in terms of any deposit or refunds.
Thank you.

Sticking 2 The Point
Posted by Dr. Madichie, Sharjah on Thursday 21 May 2009 at 03:19 UAE time
It is rather worrying that such a big issue as restricting women entrepreneurship through unjustifiable government instruments and policies should only get a brief commentary of no more than four paragraphs as reported on p. 16 of Arabian Business, May 10-16, 2009. I would personally like to follow the news story on what has become of the Saudi IT firm "2 The Point" which is run and staffed exclusively by women.
It behoves me how an industry worth over $15.9bn - the combined capital investment of the 20,000 women businesses in Saudi Arabia - can be dismissed by one circular from the Ministry of Commerce. Lest we forget this industry is worth the combined GDP of The Bahamas and Barbados going by estimates from the CIA Worldfactbook 2009.
Please keep us posted on the developments over government policy and women entrepreneurship in the Arabian Gulf - lets stick 2 The Point.
