40th National Day – “Spirit Of The Union”
His Highness Mohammed bin Rashid’s noble deeds
to relieve the UAE nationals in Dubai
The current issue of Al Masdar Magazine coincides with two important occasions.
Firstly, celebrating the UAE 40th National Day under the slogan “Spirit
Of The Union.” On this occasion, we extend our sincere congratulations to His
Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, His Highness
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime
Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and their Highnesses the members of
Supreme Council of the Union, as well as all our Sheikhs and nationals all over
our beloved country.
Secondly, the announcement of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai,
which aims to relieve the UAE nationals of living burdens, as well as providing
them with a prosperous and stable life. These noble deeds reflect His Highness’
interest and care for the UAE citizens and close follow-up to their living conditions.
“Spirit Of The Union” has become a distinctive characteristic of our celebrations
of the National Day this year, as it is a wellspring of our feelings. Our union
really sets a good example of the importance of unity in our lives. Our founder
forefathers had realized and adopted this fact, and spared no effort to achieve it.
Today, we can clearly see the fruit of this union – a modernized, established and
well-secured country that provides a prosperous life for its citizens, and helps
and relieves other needy countries.
Prior to the launch of the 40th National Day celebrations, His Highness Sheikh
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum ordered to increase free-of-charge slab
levels for UAE nationals, and also exempt UAE nationals who receive social
subsidies from the Ministry of Social Affairs from electricity consumption at the
maximum limit of 6000 kilowatt/month.

MD & CEO of DEWA
These noble deeds are a real milestone of our devoted leaders’ noble deeds.
His Highness’s noble deeds are a great demonstration of his interest and relentless
pursuit to provide citizens with all their needs. In this regard, DEWA has
put His Highness’ orders into immediate effect either in terms of connecting
electricity to the nationals’ private houses or water consumption of their private
houses and farms. Furthermore, DEWA has carried out His Highness’ orders to
exempt UAE nationals, who receive social subsidies from the Ministry of Social
Affairs from electricity consumption at the maximum limit of 6000 kilowatt/
month.
Finally, I would like to thank His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum for his generosity. Moreover, I would like also to call for both Emiratis
and residents to conserve water and electricity consumption, conserve our resources,
and protect the environment against pollution so as to serve the march
of sustainable development in the country.
