Foreign media and Dubai
Your column on the foreign media’s perception of Dubai (the innocents abroad, wknd., February 20th) was extremely interesting. I have lived in Dubai for 15 years and seen the tremendous growth of the city over that time. While I appreciate all the growth, I am aware that some of the infrastructure was lacking. However, we are a young country and the speed of the growth could not be anticipated. The UAE is not alone in suffering today’s tough economic climate and one should appreciate the reality. Rome was not built in a day, and I for one am very optimistic about Dubai’s future.

Motivate Drivers26 February 2009‘Rewards, Ratings for Taxi Drivers’ (KT, Feb 24) was a good move from Dubai Taxi. This will, to a certain extend, help stranded passengers. Ratings with incentives will certainly attract the drivers.

Indirectly, this will boost the income of drivers, too. Will the other taxis follow the footsteps of Dubai Taxi? Motivation and encouragement are 
the keys in a service-oriented industry.

Reliable taxis
A colleague of mine had booked a taxi at 5.15pm. He had a flight to catch at Sharjah airport.

By 7pm there was still no taxi to be seen and when he called the company again the response he got was that it didn’t reflect in the system that he had ordered for a taxi.

Authorities should look into such issues as this is a very common occurrence here.

Hard work

pays

Sincere service is a basic need in any profession. As I am in insurance line, a friend approached me recently for a renewal. I asked him why he had not approached the same person from whom he had taken from last year. He gave some flimsy reason but finally confessed that the service was not up to the mark. From my experience I have learnt that one should never put his reputation at stake and can achieve this only through hard and sincere work.

I have just seen the new weekend magazine and having read the Khaleej Times for the past 14 years and have seen all the changes that have been implemented. I really enjoyed the beautiful articles and while the new concept might not be accepted immediately, I believe it will be so in time. The region’s leading weekend magazine was due a change and this is a welcome one. I for one welcome the new innovations and wish the new team all the best.

Drug Prices 18 February 2009 Kudos to KT for the coverage on fake medicines (Faux Pharmaceuticals, Feb 15). I applaud UAE’s action against counterfeit manufacturers. It is great news that the International Conference on Counterfeit Drugs is being hosted by the UAE in October. Drugs should be made affordable to the common man. I request the authorities concerned to monitor the prices of drugs periodically. K Ragavan, Ajman
