Congratulations. There’s definitely money in Abu Dhabi.

What a waste of money! and how many kids could have gone to school with this amount? Allah will question this!
@ Mohammad : Those who live wisely, are indeed wise !!! Forefathers (and mothers too!) foretold of the abundant riches gone to waste in the land of chiefs/sheiks…
Those who spend unwisely, are dooming their future generations of the choice (not that ‘ they’ would have made the wiser of the choices!!!) of spending on life’s bare necessities (incld camels) and luxuries.
Finally, long live the Hens : FOR THE CHICKEN WILL ONE DAY COME HOME TO ROOST ( For guidance look at the present Taliban in Pak) !!!
Keep Smiling friends…
