There is a saying:

The first lesson my mother gave me in dealing with losers was:

<font color="blue"> Those who loose focus in their discussions they are either ignorant or idiots who do not want to accept reality. Let them. Days will prove them wrong <!--color-->[/color]


and this what I have to say to Mti:

<font color="green"> May Allah forgive you for what you have said about the Palistinianse and May Allah lead you to the straight path. <!--color-->[/color]

If you have answers to my questions please contribute, otherwise any one is welcome.

MTi Darling.. This is a public forum and people of all nationalities are welcome to participate. You are not using a govt. owned media to broadcast your rubbish because you have no position or authority in Govt. So stop pretending to be that hifi spy. You are a fake imposter nothing else.

I 've done some research regarding sources of information and I found the following link from the daily news paper:

<a href="http://www.moi.gov.om" target="_blank">http://www.moi.gov.om</a>

There is also an email: <a href="mailto:itlaw@omantel.net.om">itlaw@omantel.net.om</a>

Even though the web site is still empty it is a good start.

I think it is about 3000 USD /Month + a lump sum of 120,000 USD at the begining of their term.

P.S. payment is in Omani Riyals, the figures above are just translations.

If anybody knows the exact figures please correct me.

Shahada,

Please tell me where you got this info from. It's highly unlikely! but if it is, then that's great but you'll have to convince me! <img src="/threads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
