Following the Republican presidential candidate's call to ban Muslims
from entering the United States, his name has been taken down from a
billboard advertising a golf course and luxury-housing development on
the outskirts of Dubai. (the signboard before and after the removal)
Developer Damac Properties Dubai Co, which is building two Trump-branded
golf courses along with 104 mansions, said on Tuesday December 8, it
would not comment on the "personal or political agenda" of the leading
Republican candidate.
But by Friday morning, December 11, images of the US
business mogul and his daughter, Ivanka, had disappeared from outside
the Akoya real estate development.
Damac began selling Trump-branded mansions with a starting price of 6.5
million dirhams (S$2.5 million) in March, the company said at the time.
At a press conference in Dubai last year, Trump said the golf course and
housing project would be completed in 2017 and that he would be
responsible for managing the development for the next 25 years.
