I work in the media, so we got the news first. All the radio went just after 10am. The news on the Mister of RAK, was that he was very ill and could go at any time, many are saying he has already died. I guess it'll all be in the news tomorrow.
Bless them and no disrepect intended.
But this is starting to have a real affect on Brisbane's tourism. All the entertainment is cancelled, no outdoor events till the middle of next month, they're estimating the financial loss to the city of 10 billion dollars!
What's going on? These guys are dropping like flies!

What is the connection and why is the mourning period relevant in Brisbane. Or is this standard amongst GCC countries?

well i kn0w shiekh Saqr, that guy wasnt very shrewd and fast like shiekh of Brisbane. His son is doing good though. He built golf course and Manar mall which was designed beautifully by french architect.
