Formula 1

One of the most famous car racing sports is formula 1.It started in 1950 the idea was which manufacture can win  big prizes. The name formula one refers to a set of rules with which all drivers must comply and one of the rules is one team supposed to have 2 cars and 4 drivers per session. The point system is who gets the first place will get 25 points;  in second place 18; the third  places 15  and the fourth place is 12; in fifth place 10 .


The first winner of the formula 1 champion ship was Giuseppe Farina in his Alfa Romeo. The objective of this racer is to make the Formula one famous and popular to the world so they decided to do the races in different countries. At first the number of cars was little but the competition was difficult at that time and of course the roads did not help that much.  The races stopped for a long time but they relived again in 1983 but with more cars and more winning prizes.


In 2000 they started to use a different strategy to increase the audience and the profits so they created an official logo and a website for this sport to let the people know about the rules and who to calculate the result; also to know the next location of the races will held.In 2001 the number of audiences increase up to 45 million people but the largest was in 2008 it increases up to 800 million per a session . In 2008 and 2009 Honda,BMW and Toyota withdrew from races due to economic recession. Michael Schumacher is one of the legends of formula one and he won the competition 7 times. The formula become a big business so most car manufactures  can raise the name of their company and increase the sales of the cars.

Trip to the Emirates Palace

Sunday 23rd October, Emirates Palace Hotel, Abu Dhabi
My colleagues and I in the elite program got the opportunity to visit the GCC Economic & Financial Integration Forum on the morning of Sunday 23rd October. They  registered and listed  our names to the opening and welcoming speeches. We travelled by bus and the driver took the longest way to reach there but it was fun and it was my first time to enter the Emirates Palace and I was surprised by the decoration and the reception.  

The first session, from 9.30 to 11.00 a.m. concerned economic and financial integration and international experiences, a talk by Dr Jassim Al Mannai, Director General of the Arab Monetary Fund.

We had a break for 15 minutes; they prepared a very good breakfast and all types of drinks; it was the first time I saw all this arrangement and dedication to detail.

The first speaker was Dr Abdul Aziz Aluwaisheg, Director General International Economic Relations GCC Secretariat. He talked mainly about the historical developments and agreements made in recent years by GCC countries in their pursuit of freeing up trade and reducing tariffs in the GCC zone but the only thing that upset me was that he spoke in English and most of the public were Arab  and they had a headset to translate Arabic to English.

The second speaker was Lukas Stemitsiotis, Head of Unit in the European Commission, EU, and he addressed the problems and challenges facing the Eurozone. These problems at the moment, centring on Greece and the possibility of a Greek default on its debt, are particularly acute and the Eurozone countries are still struggling to find a solution and mainly he was nervous and mainly talking to himself.

The third speaker was Dr Aladdin Rillo, Director and Chief Economist ASEAN Integration Monitoring Office. He spoke of the experiences of the Association of South East Asian Nations. He mentioned ASEAN’s Mutual Recognition Arrangements, already implemented for engineers and architects. He pointed out that ASEAN was different to the EU and the GCC in that 50% of ASEAN GDP is provided by the service sector. He said that the goal in his region was integration of capital markets, rather than a single currency. He pointed out that it was difficult for developed countries like Brunei and Singapore to share a currency with undeveloped countries like Laos and Cambodia. Perhaps this remark applies equally to the Eurozone. He said that in ASEAN the emphasis is on a single market and integration with the global economy. He stressed the importance of connectivity and equable economic development. He suggested that ASEAN was concentrating on integration of trade, while the GCC was leaning towards integration of finances. He was the briefest of the speakers and perhaps the one who dealt most with practicality rather than ideas and ideals.

Sheikh Zayed

In my humble opinion Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was one of the critical thinkers. He ruled the UAE for 33 years. He had skills to generate ideas. His first idea was to unite the Emirates under one ruler and he started by visiting all the Emirates and he asked them to meet all of the Sheiks to explain the benefits of the union. After they all agreed he started to look after the people and how he could change the country from nothing to something and our country was almost desert; he started to think how he could make it green. He consulted with agricultural experts to find a solution for the problem but unfortunately the experts said that there was no solution but our Sheikh did not accept the answer so he continued trying to grow the plants; at the end we can see now green almost everywhere. Also he believed that everyone must have a good education and good living so in the future the people will take the responsibility to develop the country. His theory was to support all the national people so they will remember all the good work he did; also we cannot deny that he built homes and schools for free for his people so they do not need to suffer about the life and the hard living and cost so as we are living in this country every day and we are trying to find a way to develop our country.

Hedley's trip to the Niah Caves

Thirty years ago, Hedley, accompanied by his wife and elder daughter Kate, travelled from Brunei to the Niah Caves in Sarawak, Malaysia.
He went with his lovely wife and elder daughter Kate. They decided to travel by all types of transportation so first they travelled by car than ferry to go to the other side of the river after that by boat and at the end on foot. They travelled early in the morning and he arrived there at sunset and they stayed in the government rest house. They went inside the caves and they saw birds, bamboo poles, men climbing to scrape birds’ nests off the roof in order to sell them to Chinese and they did stuff that nobody can imagine. They came back the next day; it was exciting, different and an adventure to them and they were lucky to see the men climbing the poles.
