DY's Freedom Index: UAE Scores - Utopia

They will have to focus on work-related reading rather relaxing with the latest thriller from James Patterson, but government employees in the United Arab Emirates are to be given “dedicated time to read” during work hours following a new law intended to “make reading a daily habit”.

Described as the first of its kind, the UAE’s new “national law of reading” was announced by UAE president, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan, earlier this week. It will allow government staff time to read at work – although they must focus on reading matter about professional and personal development within the context of the workplace.


It's unfortunate that the law is restricted to government employees. I hope it extends to all employees soon.

Yep, they can read, as long it's not Shitte based.

Someone should tell him if he became a book critic he could read most of the time for work. Do it on a YouTube Chanel and you don't even have to write or type.

i.e. they'll get an afternoon off a week during which they'll read barely-literate LinkedIn articles about the 5 things all successful people do before eating breakfast
