UAE billionaire Mohamed Alabbar will launch the Arab world’s first social messaging app in February or March next year.

In October this year, the businessman announced plans to launch a phone messaging service for the Middle East that aims to compete with services such as WhatsApp.

“There are 350 million young people in the region and they are 200 million of young people who are connected to the digital world,” he said.

Alabbar, who made his fortune as the chairman of Dubai's largest listed property developer, Emaar Properties, has been moving into other areas, in particular technology.

Mobile phone penetration in the Gulf region is among the highest in the world, with Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in the top seven globally with rates near to the equivalent of two phones for every person.

The region is also home to a young and tech-savvy population - Saudi Arabia is one of the top consumers of YouTube videos - but there is comparatively-little Arabic-language online content. (Source)

From a cartoonish maid’s outfit to a tiny rubber doll known as Fuchiko who plays and dangles from cups to kitschy cosmetics and colourful pandas and kittens, you will always find something unique and cute at Japanese and Korean festivals.

"Look, whatever way you move it, it won’t fall down, which means you’re fortunate and luck will always remain up," said Kimura, who was showing me an adorable "lucky cat" statue. Its round shape and a special balance keep the kitty from falling. As a cat lover, I was sold.

These statues come in all colours, shapes and sizes, and Kimura had a whole set of these kitties, known as maneki-neko. The most common among them waves its right paw, as if beckoning the good fortune. I bought six of these for family and friends and got a hand-sized wooden Samurai doll that the tradesman promised (jokingly) will "protect the house from enemies". These would have to be very small-sized enemies.

The fact the capital’s first anime, manga and Japanese culture festival attracted between 10,000 and 12,000 fans over just three days – it was really packed when I was there – shows how popular they are here. The Korean festival will continue until November 6. Besides cute products, it also includes authentic food, games, martial arts and theatre.

The majority of students come from Egypt, Jordan, Algeria, Saudi Arabia and Morocco, with significant numbers in the UAE, Syria, Palestine, Iraq and Yemen.

Deputy Education Minister Chong Sin Woon gave an assurance today that the Arabic language is not a compulsory subject in public schools, after a parent raised the issue in an open letter.

He also promised to check with on the school in Cheras in which the parent claimed to be making Bahasa Arab a compulsory subject for students from Year 4 onwards.

“It is elective, never a compulsory subject. We have addressed this issue before to the parents,” Chong told reporters after visiting a Chinese school here, in response to the allegation.

“Yes, we will check with them,” Chong added when asked if the ministry will approach the school alleged to be forcing all students to learn Bahasa Arab.

In a recent letter published in The Star Online, Jonathan Abishegam said he found out his son was being made to learn Bahasa Arab at school and was later told by the school administration that it was a directive from the Education Ministry.

Abishegam said it would be disadvantageous for his non-Muslim son to study the subject compared to Muslim students who have been taught it from young. (source)
