Being close to the people, without a thick layer of fat in between, is a mark of good governance.

This guy continues to lead, while maintaining his humbleness:

Amazing. We need some of this here please. This is the kind of spontaneous PR that earns the love of the people and goes a long way in inculcating unity. There are other steps that need to be taken of course, but this – the ability to be close to the people without “maraseem” – goes a long way.

    What I love about this place is that it isn’t just PR… He does this kind of thing spontaneously, and usually there aren’t any cameras to tell the story.

    This person is amazing. In Bahrain, I think
    the Crown Prince is the only person who can
    come close to this.

    Well,

    In Bahrain there is no need for all that, all what is needed is some honesty, clean treatment and righteousness …

    Thats the ruler of Dubai, eating lunch with the commonfolk. Thats like seeing Bush, inviting him for lunch at your place, and having him come over with no strings attached, security, etc etc. Humble and loved by his people.
