Dubai: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, had a stern message for Dubai’s doubters – telling them to “shut up”.
Speaking about the stream of stories on Dubai - Abu Dhabi relations, Shaikh Mohammad restated the commitment between all of the emirates in the UAE.
Switching to English, he added: "Who doesn't understand this should do their homework before they start talking. We will be there for each other when we need it."
"And I want to tell those people who nag about Dubai and Abu Dhabi to shut up.”
Shaikh Mohammad also urged the audience to try the Dubai Metro because it is the first in the region without a driver.
He described it as a very good experience and very safe, before joking that “you don’t know where it’ll take you” because it has no driver.
