Dubai Police save baby from being sold
Dubai: A housemaid has been arrested for selling a nearly two-month-old infant for Dh10,000 to a police officer disguised in an undercover operation.
An Indonesian housemaid who ran away from her sponsor, an Emirati family in the northern emirates, offered to help a Filipina housemaid who had also ran away from her sponsor.
The Indonesian suspect confessed to the police that she sold the Filipina's baby without his mother's knowledge.
The Filipina just wanted to get rid of the baby by offering him for adoption to any of the Emirati families, said Lieutenant Colonel Abdul Rahim Bin Shafi, director of the anti-organised crimes department at Dubai Police, who referred the case to the combating human trafficking department.
According to him, the mother left the sponsor to work as a part time domestic helper for a European family. During this time, the Filipina worker, identified as N.B.M, had an illicit affair with a Filipino, who shortly left the country after her pregnancy.
The Filipina gave birth to the baby at home, leaving him with no legal or official documents. After nearly two months, she decided she wanted to leave the country, seeking the assistance of the Indonesian maid, identified as H.N.S, who offered to find a family for her baby.

Burj Dubai's High-altitude Cranes Dismantled As Opening Date Nears
DUBAI, Nov 11 (Bernama) -- Burj Dubai, the world's tallest building, is nearing completion, following the dismantling of the last high-altitude crane used in its construction.
In preparation for its Jan 4, 2010, opening, the Burj Dubai construction team is now concentrating on the interiors and landscaping.
They completed the tower's external cladding recently, according to a statement from Emaar Properties which is developing the mixed-use tower at the centre of the Downtown Burj Dubai mega project.
Three huge tower cranes were used in moving construction materials up to Level 156 of Burj Dubai.
In all, the cranes lifted over 63,300 tonnes of steel reinforcement, and were operational for a total of 45,000 man-hours.
A team of 35 skilled technicians manned the cranes, a critical component of the 11,000-strong workforce devoted to the construction of the skyscraper.
Emaar said the operators of the cranes worked at dizzying heights of more than 700 metres, almost double the height of the Empire State Building.

Kutipan untuk ibadah Qurban 1430H
MY-UAE sedang bekerjasama dengan Asian Federation of Muslim Youth (AFMY) dan beberapa afiliasi lain untuk mengutip dana bagi ibadah qurban 1430. Sehubungan itu, beberapa lokasi telah dikenal pasti dan sebut harga untuk satu bahagian lembu atau seekor kambing mengikut harga pasaran tempatan adalah seperti berikut:
1. Kemboja - RM200 untuk 1 bahagian lembu
2. Indonesia - Rp 600.000 untuk seekor kambing (Saiz M), Rp 850.000 untuk seekor kambing (Saiz L), Rp 1.200.000 untuk seekor kambing (Saiz XL),
3. China - RM300 untuk 1 bahagian lembu.
Untuk mengelakkan pertukaran wang, saya ingin mengusulkan agar segala kutipan adalah berdasarkan matawang UAE dirham (AED). Berikutan dengan naik turunnya matawang dirham mengikut pasaran semasa, saya mengusulkan ada segala kadar tukaran dirham ini di bulatkan dengan penambahan 10% dari harga sebenar bagi mengelakkan kekurangan harga di mana lebihan wang itu dikira sebagai sedepah tuan-tuan untuk umat islam di sana. Dengan ini, sebut harga dalam dirham adalah seperti berikut:
1. Kemboja - AED 240 untuk 1 bahagian lembu
2. Indonesia - AED 260 untuk seekor kambing (Saiz M), AED 370 untuk seekor kambing (Saiz L), AED 520 untuk seekor kambing (Saiz XL),

5. Rusdi Abu Bakar (050-7198473) - Sharjah
5. Mushil Mustafa (055-7218353) - All Area.
Sayugia diingatkan bahawa tarikh akhir kutipan adalah pada 21 November 2009 (Sabtu) kerana kita ingin mendistribusi dana kutipan seberapa segera.
Terima kasih saya sekali lagi saya memohon maaf atas kelewatan ini. Juga mohon tuan-tuan halalkan transaksi sebagai sedekah jariah ini jikalau ada kelebihan akibat naik turun kadar tukaran wang.
Sekian, wassalam.

Dubai catat sejarah penggunaan Google Maps
DUBAI - Dubai mencatat sejarah sebagai bandar raya pertama di rantau Timur Tengah dan Afrika Utara (MENA) yang memuatkan rangkaian pengangkutan awamnya dalam Google Maps, kata Pihak Berkuasa Jalan Raya dan Pengangkutan (RTA) Dubai.
RTA berkata, langkah ini bertujuan, antara lain, memudahkan pengguna bas awam, termasuk penduduk dan pelancong, merancang perjalanan mereka.
Ketua Eksekutif Sektor Sokongan Teknikal Korporat RTA, Abdullah Al Madani berkata, langkah memuat naik pelbagai maklumat tentang pengangkutan dalam Google Maps itu juga bertujuan memantapkan lagi skim 'Perancang Perjalanan' yang dilancarkan awal tahun ini.
"Inisiatif baru ini sudah pasti akan membolehkan sebahagian besar bakal pengguna dari seluruh dunia mempunyai akses kepada rangkaian pengangkutan awam di seluruh wilayah Dubai," katanya dalam kenyataan di sini.
RTA berkata, kini Dubai menyertai lebih 50 bandar raya kosmopolitan yang mempunyai rangkaian pengangkutan awam canggih di dunia seperti London, Paris, New York dan Zurich, menggunakan teknologi itu. - BERNAMA

Pembekal makanan laut Malaysia raih jualan RM16.6j
DUBAI 9 Nov. - Enam syarikat Malaysia yang mengambil bahagian pada Ekspo Makanan Laut Dubai 2009 di sini baru-baru ini, berjaya mencatatkan jualan yang disahkan dan potensi jualan yang dianggarkan berjumlah AS$4.9 juta (RM16.6 juta).
Menurut Lembaga Kemajuan Ikan Malaysia (LKIM), perkembangan ini akan membantu meningkatkan lagi usaha untuk menembusi pasaran Timur Tengah.
"Berdasarkan kepada hasil ekspo berkenaan, saya rasa Timur Tengah termasuk negara-negara Majlis Kerjasama Teluk (GCC), mempunyai potensi yang besar untuk produk makanan laut dari Malaysia," kata Ketua Pengarah LKIM Datuk Mustafa Ahmad kepada Bernama.
Mustafa mengetuai delegasi yang terdiri daripada wakil dari Persatuan Nelayan Kebangsaan Malaysia, Ambang Wibawa Sdn. Bhd., Seiko Marine Products Sdn. Bhd., Ocean Pac Sdn. Bhd., Golden Fresh Sdn. Bhd. dan Butterworth Iceworks Sdn. Bhd.
Menurut beliau, bakal pembeli dan peniaga dari Timur Tengah akan dijemput mengambil bahagian pada pameran makanan laut di Malaysia tahun depan.
"Kita akan mengatur lawatan ke kilang pemprosesan makanan laut kita bagi membolehkan mereka melihat dengan lebih dekat proses pengeluaran kita dengan harapan ini akan menghasilkan lebih banyak urus niaga perniagaan," katanya.
Mustafa menasihat pengeluar makanan laut Malaysia supaya menunjukkan komitmen sepenuhnya kepada kualiti dalam usaha mereka untuk melebarkan sayap ke luar negara.
"Mereka perlu berusaha untuk memenuhi piawaian Kesatuan Eropah dan piawaian antarabangsa yang lain untuk terus berkembang di luar negara," katanya.
Semasa menyokong kenyataan Mustafa itu, konsul pertanian Malaysia di Dubai, Abdul Razak Ahmad berkata, pembekal makanan laut Malaysia perlu mengambil kesempatan terhadap permintaan yang tinggi untuk produk makanan laut di Timur Tengah.
"Mereka perlu melihat rantau ini selain sasaran biasa seperti Jepun, Amerika Syarikat dan yang lainnya," kata beliau. — Bernama
