Mabrook to Shiekh Fazza3.
A question though, wasn't Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashed (the brother of Shiekh Mohamed)the crown prince before this decree was issued?
first of all mazal tov.. ie mabrook in my language.. secondly.. i wonder what changes you may be expecting if any to the regime as a result of the crowning..
this blog is full of social commentary.. are any of these issues expected to be addressed by the newly appointed monarch?
Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid was the deputy of the ruler of Dubai and has always been since the death of their father.
dubai jazz: There was no Crown Prince of Dubai since the death of Shk Maktoum bin Rashid (Allah yr7ama). Shk Hamdan bin Rashid has always been the Deputy Ruler of Dubai.
are any of these issues expected to be addressed by the newly appointed monarch?
Lirun:
Not exactly. This whole exercise means he's next in line to become Ruler of Dubai.
