“Everyone today is responsible for everyone.” This is the motto of the crisis phase that society is going through due to the Corona virus. Everyone, especially companies, merchants and businessmen, should not think about profits and losses now, so they give up a little on their material thinking, and give more space to human thinking.
It is a temporary and very critical period, and cooperation is the basis for overcoming it, and it is the guarantee for the return of profits later. It is not logical in this difficult circumstance, and in light of the conditions of remote distance, remote study, and the survival of people in their homes, that the communication companies insist, for example. For example, to withhold free voice and video chat programs, you must change her thinking now, even temporarily. Communication today is more important than the obsession of reducing profits, facilitating people, and supporting them morally is much more important than pure material thinking!
And many others, each in its field, all private sector companies are required to change their current thinking style, and contribute to encouraging and facilitative decisions, or social and humanitarian initiatives, or actual contributions to make people's lives better, in light of exceptional circumstances that have not gone through the world so sharply before, so does Hear the announcement of more and more of them in the coming period? This is what we all wish for!
Indeed, it is a time for solidarity, solidarity and compassion, it is a time for humanitarian initiatives and actions, and it is a time when everyone must help everyone, each according to its capabilities and size, it is the time for merchants, companies and financial and businessmen, the time for their contribution to mitigate the effects of this virus, and provide assistance, assistance and facilities to all Whoever needs it, we do not want them to provide direct aid to society, the government is committed to this aspect, and it will never abandon it, and food and medicine are a red line that the government will provide to the people indefinitely, this is what he said and confirmed by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the government has pumped billions To help the injured Economically and financially from this crisis, but this does not mean that these traders and these huge companies stand idly by. Rather, they should support government efforts, and sincerely contribute to launching initiatives and decisions that support the category of small investors, and other groups of society that deserve support and support, no one will prevent them Of contribution, and they are not supposed to wait for someone to ask them to contribute, it is duty, patriotism, and a sense of gratitude towards society and the state, it is you who must move them and nothing else!
Khalfan is an Emirati businessman, he is not a trader of the size of these well-known big merchants, but he owns a number of real estate and buildings that include a good number of restaurants, offices, salons, etc., all of whom are tenants with him, initiate from himself, and without asking anyone, and send them all Messages exempting them from the rental value throughout the period of the spread of the Corona virus, will not demand them for a dirham, whether it is long or short!
It is a wonderful human and patriotic sense, societal participation, and a contribution to bear the damages of a crisis in which no one enters, a behavior that carries many meanings, despite its simplicity and ease, Khalfan says: “If I do not stand to help these people in these difficult circumstances, I am not a human being, but rather a human being. A fundraising machine. ".. This is the kind of thinking we wish to prevail at this time and in these circumstances!
