Here is a perfect example of press censorship in the UAE.
This is the opening line from an article in the Wall Street Journal.
Ras Al Khaimah wants to avoid the financial problems of fellow sheikdom Dubai and reduce its 5 billion U.A.E. dirhams ($1.36 billion) of debt after funding a development splurge with Islamic bonds, a senior official said.
This article was reproduced in Gulf News. But here’s their first line.
Ras Al Khaimah wants to reduce its Dh5 billion ($1.36 billion) of debt after funding development with Islamic bonds, a senior official said.
Surely there are laws about taking such content and changing it? If not there really ought to be.
An excellent hat tip to Sultan Al Qassemi.
