It’s been 80 + days since my new Exeed LX Comfort 2026 became immobilised (20 Aug 2025).
Despite filings with @DubaiDET and @Economyae, there’s still no inspection, no report, no resolution — and over AED 4 000 spent on rentals.

For nearly 20 years, Chinese opera performer Shi Pei Pu kept a secret that would eventually shock the world.
In the 1960s, Shi began a relationship with French diplomat Bernard Boursicot in Beijing, presenting as a woman and convincing him they had a child together. The boy was later revealed to have been adopted.
Throughout their relationship, Boursicot passed sensitive intelligence to Shi, believing he was helping someone he loved. Both were eventually charged with spying for China.
The deception came to light during their 1986 trial in France, when Shi’s biological sex became public, turning the case into one of the Cold War’s most extraordinary espionage scandals.
A 20-year prison sentence in France for an Indian national involved in the sexual exploitation of children is horrifying. India cannot preach morality to the world while such cases raise grave questions about accountability, child protection and the social environment under Modi’s government.
Where is the outrage? Where is the accountability? Modi’s India must answer hard questions about protecting children and confronting those who exploit them. Children are not prey. Their abusers must face the full force of the law, wherever they are from.

JUST IN: 🇮🇱 🇵🇸 🇶🇦 The Prime Minister of Qatar just confirmed what we all knew.
Hamas offered to give Israel all of the civilian hostages at the beginning of the genocide in return for a temporary ceasefire.
But Israel REFUSED.
Qatari PM: “they rejected to even entertain the idea.”
It was never about the hostages. Israel had no interest in them, even for a temporary ceasefire.
They were waiting for Oct 7, they wanted to commit genocide.
رسالة إلى زايد..
رسالة إلى معلمي وقائدي وملهمي عبر أربعة عقود من حياتي ..
رسـالة إلى أبي .. وأب الإمــاراتـيـين .. أب القــادة والرؤســاء .. وأب الأيـتـام والفقـراء .. زايـد بن سلطان آل نهيان الذي زاد على حـيـا��ه حـياة الملايين .. وبقي بحكمته وحنكته معنا من الخالدين.
رسالتي لك يا أبي زايد: لقد كبرت الإمارات .. وبقيت تشبهك.
Marwa Ahmed Al-Amin Bakhit, a 36-year-old Sudanese expat, had spent almost her entire life in the UAE.
She arrived when she was just one year old, grew up in Dubai and studied there from kindergarten through secondary school. She later joined Dubai Police, where colleagues remembered her as cheerful, calm and kind-hearted.
After waiting nearly 12 years to become a mother, Marwa finally became pregnant with twins.
Her pregnancy had reportedly been normal. She underwent a Caesarean section and was able to see and hold her first baby. But while her second son was being delivered, she suddenly suffered severe complications, including blood clots affecting her lungs and heart.
Doctors tried repeatedly to resuscitate her, but Marwa passed away.
Her twin boys, Fahd and Fahad, survived and were reported to be healthy. But Marwa's story was about more than motherhood.
After losing both of her parents to cancer, she had taken on responsibility for her family and became the main source of support for her two sisters. She was also the family's main provider, as her husband was unemployed.
Then came the day of her Janāzah.
A social media appeal called on people across the UAE to attend because Marwa had no family in the country apart from her husband, asking people to “be her family and brothers.”
And they answered.
Hundreds of people gathered at Al Qusais Cemetery Mosque in Dubai. Many had never met Marwa, yet they came to pray for her, offer condolences and stand beside her grieving husband and sisters.
The prayer hall became so full that some people prayed outside. Others travelled from different emirates simply to be there.
Marwa's family said they were overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, prayers and support.
She spent her life caring for others.
And when it was time to say goodbye, strangers came together to make sure she and her family were not alone.
May Allāh have mercy upon Marwa, forgive her, honour her and grant her Jannatul Firdaus.
May Allāh protect her two sons and grant them health, īmān and a beautiful life.
L'ambassadeur d’israël de l'ONU a été expulsé de l'Assemblée générale après avoir remonté l'allée centrale pour trouble et harcèlement contre l'orateur iranien.
Il était choqué qu'ils l'aient arrêté, il pensait que l’ONU lui a été promise y a 3000 ans
