Sharjah Ruler orders payment of AED2 million to fishermen
Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohamed Al Qasimi
Sharjah - WAM
H.H. Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohamed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, has directed Souq Al Jubail Management, the largest fresh products market in the UAE, to disburse AED2 million to 236 Emirati fishermen in Sharjah ahead of the Holy Month of Ramadan.
This came during a telephone conversation with Waleed Al Sayegh, CEO of Sharjah Assets Management, via the direct line programme broadcast live on Sharjah Radio and TV on Wednesday.
Al Sayegh said that the Ruler of Sharjah takes interest in the issues of the fishermen and resolves them so as to motivate them to sustain this traditional profession for generations to come.
The management has taken a number of steps to support them in accordance with the leadership’s instructions. It is also reviewing a plan that involves buying surplus fish from the fishermen in the emirate and selling them through a company. This will have a positive impact on the fishermen, he added.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
