While all eyes are still focused on our celebrity US President-Barack Obama, a round applause should be given to His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, UAE.
As of what made the Dubai Ruler hero of the day in this tiny lil' blogspace here will be very much justified by his following achievements:
- He's the Ruler, Prime Minister, entrepreneur, & developer-king of Dubai UAE.
- He turned the Arab land into a world financial capital, comparable to London & New York City in terms of standard of living/networth.
- He broke taboos by criticizing who “sit around waiting, praising our glorious past and blaming others for our failures and problems.” - source
- His proven management strategies by electing the State's 4 top advisers (the so-called 4 horsemen) as leaders of the State's leading companies & forcing them to compete against each other, increasing the overall productivity in the State leading to the constrction of world tallest skyscraper.
- Forging diplomatic relationships with other renowned country leaders, along with official & unofficial visits to the respective countries.
- Developing Dubai's world-beating buildings where all other nations should be jealous of( Burj Al-Arab, Palm Islands, Ski Dubai, Burj Tower, Hydropolis), which I'm certain that China will come up with something to counter such sentiment.

- Lastly, he tweets!

And now, the unexpected big bad debt Dubai is facing due to '07 economy crisis will be yet another great challenge to test his capabilities. As of what he indicated to the press "By that standard, the State's prosperity & extraordinary record of peace and stability are far more important than a few billion dollars of bad debt".
Malaysia Boleh — can we achieve the 2020 Vision in just another 11 years' grace period? That's something I'll like to see in the future.
