He presented proposals for large-scale initiatives that would increase the country’s participation in the space sector during a meeting of the MBRSC Board of Directors.

The Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has issued Law No. 17 of 2023 regarding the emblem of Dubai. This law mandates that Dubai must have its own unique emblem, reflecting its values and principles. The emblem is considered the property of the emirate and is protected by this law.

The emblem can be used in government facilities, documents, websites, and events. Private entities may also use it, but only with prior approval from the Dubai Ruler or his representative. Misuse of the emblem can result in penalties, including imprisonment for three to five years and fines ranging from AED100,000 to AED500,000.
Individuals, except for authorized entities, must stop using the emblem within 30 days of this law coming into effect unless they have obtained prior approval. The Chairman of Dubai’s Ruler Court will issue the necessary decisions to enforce this law. Any conflicting legislation is invalidated, and this law is effective from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette.
The ‘My One Million’ savings plan in the UAE, recently announced by National Bonds, aims to help participants accumulate AED1 million through combined savings and profits over their chosen term. This plan caters to both individuals and corporations, offering tenor options from three to 10 years, along with the choice of a lump-sum investment.
Companies also have the option to contribute on behalf of their employees, potentially boosting employee retention. Enrolling in the plan can be done through the company’s app or branches. Participants select the plan duration, set up monthly contributions, and have the option of an initial savings amount.
For instance, a 10-year plan with a monthly contribution of AED7,160 would result in total savings of AED859,200 and an expected profit of AED140,800, totaling AED1 million. Similarly, a three-year plan with a monthly contribution of AED26,540 and an expected profit of AED44,560 would make the participant a millionaire in three years.
Additionally, if a customer opts for a 10-year plan and initiates with a lump-sum of AED100,000, the required monthly contribution to reach AED1 million by the end of the term would be AED6,200. Subscribers gain access to the company’s AED35 million rewards program, including a quarterly AED1 million draw. Deputy Group CEO, Rehab Lootah, emphasized that with the introduction of ‘My One Million’, achieving millionaire status is within reach for every individual.
On October 14, there will be an annular solar eclipse, often called the ‘ring of fire’ eclipse, which won’t be visible in the UAE.
