    Default Inside Dubai's labour camp

    I am not sure how many here are aware of unprecedented building boom going in Dubai. As wealth and money are shown as the new face of Dubai, those who are doing the work are treated no more than slave labour and actually are slave labour.

    Wow, so sad. I was very fortunate to visit Dubai about 5 years ago. Very beautiful city, It reminded me of a city built on Gold. Had no idea it was a city built on the blood of the poor.
