Yes. They're trying to attract as much investment as possible. They need taxes to be paid!! Now is tax free. VAT will be implemented in 2008.

My wife was here for a week. She says she's seen the documentary.

You see all that opulence in the malls and then you see the poor people that makes the place wrok, and who construc it:

Bangla, Paks, filipinos, Hindus...

Then the money they make they leave behind since the rent is very high and they are exploited

In the documentary, she wrote, the Arab go fetch nurses in the Ukraine. She said: "I earn more money there but I will levae the money there in rent and food. I prefer to work here."


The Arab guy got some Filipinas instead. Work for food and to pay the rent.
