Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA) | DEWA’s staff and customers celebrate Flag Day amid National and traditional atmosphere

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has celebrated Flag Day at all its buildings and offices amid a festive atmosphere that emphasised belonging and loyalty to the UAE and its leadership, and the unity of Emiratis behind the UAE flag. DEWA joined with all government organisations in the UAE by raising the flag. HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, raised the flag at DEWA’s Head Office, accompanied by DEWA’s Executive Vice Presidents, Vice Presidents, staff, and a large number of customers who were keen to take part in the National event. A number of heritage activities were organised to promote National identity as well.

“On Flag Day, we congratulate His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, Their Highnesses the Members of the Supreme Council and Rulers of the Emirates, and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces. On this occasion that is dear to our hearts, the people of the UAE reiterate their loyalty to their leadership under the UAE flag, and renew their pledge to raise it high by continuing their hard, dedicated, and sincere work to achieve the prosperity of our beloved country,” said Al Tayer.

“On this day, we emphasise that DEWA will continue its efforts to promote National Identity and the values of loyalty and belonging, to protect the achievements resulting from our loyalty, generosity, honesty, and prosperity under the flag of the Union. We make sure that all the activities we organise to mark this day embody the principles of belonging to the UAE, who’s prosperity and protection we all work for,” added Al Tayer.

267 volunteers from DEWA distributed the UAE flag to citizens’ homes. The staff distributed 5,000 flags in various residential areas in Dubai. 50 employees participated in the Flag Day initiative, organised by Watani Al Emarat Foundation, at the Union Museum in Dubai. The initiative aims to involve volunteers in making society aware of the flag protocol, its symbolism of unity and cohesion, and how to deal with it and respect it. This was part of DEWA’s participation as the main sponsor for the Flag Day initiative, organised by Watani Al Emarat.

Flag Day celebrations included various National and traditional activities in DEWA’s offices and buildings, including planting flags, and a traditional shop which remains until the end of November. Electronic newsletters were sent to staff about the protocol of dealing with the UAE flag and the correct way of using it.
