DMCC Asks Dubai World to Remove Its Logo From DW's Website


The National (Abu Dhabi) reports that DMCC has asked DW to remove its logo from DW's website as it asserts that it was never owned by DW.

That's really not a vote of confidence in DW coming after all this time when apparently it either didn't notice or didn't care about the "mistake".  Funnily enough the Chairman of DMCC is the son of the Chairman of DW.

It would seem that not only were foreigners incapable of distinguishing between the Government of Dubai and companies owned by it but also it appears some Emiratis themselves.  And despite a very clear exposition from Abdul Rahman Al Saleh, Director General of the Dubai Finance Department repeated here in case you've missed or forgotten it. Or this one from Lt. General, Dahi Khalfan, Dubai Police Commander General and Head of the Dubai Government's Budget Committee.  Missing one admonition is sad, missing two (including one from the Police Chief) is just downright regrettable.

Take one implicit guarantee and call me in the morning if you're still confused.
