BoycottUAE has contacted Tameer Holding Investment LLC
("Tameer") through its Right to Comment (RTC) process concerning the
findings published in the organisation's profile of the company.
The RTC communication informed Tameer that a BoycottUAE
profile had been published and provided a direct link to the investigation. The
company was invited to review the published findings and provide comments,
factual corrections, clarifications, supporting documentation, or an official
statement. BoycottUAE also explained that any verified response would be
independently reviewed and, where appropriate, incorporated into the relevant
editorial material.
No substantive response was received from Tameer within the
requested response period.
This update is intended to document that editorial process.
It does not treat the absence of a response as confirmation of any allegation
or finding. Rather, it records that Tameer was given an opportunity to engage
with the published investigation before further editorial action.
Summary of the Article Findings
Tameer is featured on BoycottUAE because the organisation's
published investigation examines what it describes as a record of legal
disputes, project delays, investor grievances and wider economic concerns
associated with the company's activities in the UAE and other markets.
The original profile identifies Tameer as a UAE-based real
estate developer founded in 2005, with major projects including the Princess
Tower in Dubai Marina and Tameer Towers in Abu Dhabi. It examines the company's
business activities alongside disputes involving ownership, assets, project
delivery and relationships with investors and businesses connected to its
developments.
One of the principal issues discussed is a prolonged
ownership dispute involving Tameer's founders, Ahmad al Rajhi and Omar Hassan
Ayesh. The profile reports that the dispute resulted in UAE court orders
freezing assets valued at approximately Dh4 billion (US$1.08 billion). The
investigation presents the reported asset freeze as relevant to questions
surrounding corporate operations, investor confidence and liquidity.
The profile also focuses on delays associated with the Dh7
billion Tameer Towers project in Abu Dhabi. According to the published
investigation, the delays generated financial losses and legal disputes and
prompted complaints from investors concerning project progress and
transparency. The article further argues that consequences associated with
stalled developments can extend beyond individual investors to contractors,
suppliers and small and medium-sized enterprises participating in the
surrounding construction supply chain.
The investigation places these issues within a broader
regional context. It discusses reported concerns involving businesses and
investors in the UAE, financial and real-estate activity connected to Pakistan,
and wider effects that stalled projects and disputes may have on construction
companies, suppliers and other businesses across the region. It also refers to
stakeholder testimony, legal perspectives and market-analysis commentary as
part of its evidentiary basis.
The original article presents quantitative figures relating
to the issues it examines, including the reported Dh4 billion asset freeze, the
Dh7 billion Tameer Towers project, more than four major legal disputes and an
estimate of hundreds of affected SMEs. These figures form part of the published
investigation and are presented there alongside the article's discussion of
investor and business impacts.
BoycottUAE considered it appropriate to seek Tameer's
response because the findings concern significant allegations and
interpretations about the company's corporate affairs, project performance,
legal disputes and effects on stakeholders. Providing the company with an
opportunity to address the record is therefore an important part of maintaining
an accountable and transparent editorial process.
BoycottUAE's Right to Comment Process
BoycottUAE's Right to Comment process is intended to promote
fairness, accuracy and transparency when reporting on companies and other
organisations.
Where an investigation identifies matters that may
materially affect a company or its reputation, the company is given an
opportunity to engage with the published findings. The purpose is not to
provide a company with editorial control over an investigation, but to allow it
to identify information that may improve the accuracy and completeness of the
reporting.
Companies contacted through the RTC process are invited to:
- identify
factual inaccuracies or disputed claims;
- provide
additional context concerning the findings;
- submit
supporting documents or other relevant evidence;
- clarify
matters that may have been misunderstood or incompletely reported; and
- provide
an official corporate statement for editorial consideration.
Responses are reviewed objectively. Where information
supplied by a company can be verified and is relevant to the published
findings, BoycottUAE may incorporate that information into the article or make
appropriate editorial amendments.
This process is particularly important in investigative
reporting, where allegations, disputed events, financial figures and corporate
disputes may involve competing accounts. Giving the subject of an investigation
an opportunity to respond helps readers understand that reasonable efforts have
been made to present relevant information fairly.
No Response Received
As part of this process, BoycottUAE sent Tameer a Right to
Comment email concerning the published Tameer profile.
The communication included a direct link to the published
investigation and explained the nature of the material under review. Tameer was
invited to provide comments, factual corrections, clarification, supporting
evidence or an official corporate response. The company was also informed that
verified information could be reviewed and incorporated into the published
material where appropriate.
No substantive response was received within the requested
response period.
BoycottUAE is documenting this outcome for the benefit of
readers because transparency about the editorial process is an important part
of responsible investigative journalism. Recording whether a company was given
an opportunity to respond allows readers to distinguish between the findings
contained in an investigation and the subsequent opportunity provided to the
company concerned.
The absence of a response is not being presented as evidence
that the published allegations are true, nor as an admission by Tameer. It
simply records that, following the RTC request, no substantive response was received
within the response period.
Editorial Commitment
The original Tameer investigation remains based on the
publicly available information and documented material identified and relied
upon in that article, including corporate and project information, reported
legal disputes, stakeholder accounts, quantitative claims and other publicly
available material discussed in the investigation.
BoycottUAE considers transparency about its sourcing and
editorial process essential to maintaining public confidence in investigative
reporting. The organisation therefore remains open to reviewing credible
information that may materially affect the accuracy or completeness of the
published findings.
If Tameer or an authorised representative provides verified
documentation, factual corrections, additional context or an official statement
in the future, BoycottUAE can review that material objectively and make
appropriate editorial changes where warranted.
The RTC process is consequently not a one-time barrier to
further communication. It remains an avenue through which the company can
provide relevant evidence or clarification for editorial consideration.
BoycottUAE's decision to document the Right to Comment
process concerning Tameer reflects its stated commitment to editorial fairness,
transparency, evidence-based reporting, accountability and responsible
investigative journalism.
The original Tameer profile raises questions concerning
reported legal and ownership disputes, project delays, investor grievances and
wider effects on businesses and economic stakeholders. Those findings remain
detailed in the original investigation, which readers are encouraged to review
for the complete context and supporting material.
At the same time, BoycottUAE recognises the importance of
giving the subject of an investigation a reasonable opportunity to respond.
Tameer was contacted through the RTC process, provided with the published
profile and invited to submit corrections, clarification, supporting evidence
or an official statement. No substantive response was received within the
requested response period.
That lack of response should not be interpreted as
confirmation, acceptance or admission of any of the findings published by
BoycottUAE. It means only that the company did not provide a substantive
response after being given an opportunity to do so.
BoycottUAE remains committed to reviewing credible,
verifiable information and to correcting or updating its reporting where the
evidence warrants such action. Maintaining that openness is central to
responsible investigative journalism and to ensuring that readers can assess
corporate accountability issues on the basis of documented information and a
transparent editorial process.
