UAE National Day celebrated at Yab Legal Services

Sharjah: Yab Legal Services organized cultural programs as part of the UAE National Day celebrations.

The ceremony was inaugurated at the Yab Auditorium in Sharjah by cutting a cake in the presence of Yab Legal Services CEO Salam Pappinissery, and Yab Office Manager Yusra Isanthar.

Since the largest expatriate community in the UAE, with more than 200 nationalities residing in the country, is Malayalis, the UAE National Day celebration is being celebrated grandly under the leadership of Malayalis and the program is being shortened in the context of the Palestinian war, said Yab Legal Services CEO Salam Pappinissery, who delivered the keynote speech at the inauguration ceremony. He said that he has been a part of the National Day celebration for the past 36 years and that the UAE National Day is celebrated every year on December 2 to commemorate the unification of the Emirates in 1971.

When the seven emirates, which did not even have their own currency, came together, they formed a strong development vision and economy.

The vision of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan laid the foundation for the dream of a united Arab Emirates. Salam Pappinissery added that the signature of that vision can be seen in each of the subsequent achievements.

He told the employees, who consist of more than 150 Malayalis, that any venture can succeed only if they work together and work hard, and that he considers the employees as part of his family:

Salam Pappinissery, CEO of Yab Legal Services, is a well-known legal representative and social activist.

As part of the cultural program, the Arab lawyers of Yab performed traditional yaula sticks accompanied by Emirati songs.

Afterwards, a quiz competition was held among the employees about the UAE Emirates. The quiz program was led by Yab Business Development Manager Farsana Abdul Jabbar.

Yab CEO Salam Pappinissery and Arab and Malayali employees participated enthusiastically in the program.

The Yab office was decorated with the colors of the UAE flag, balloons, and garlands. The employees arrived wearing logos with the UAE national flag emblem and shawls.

The singing performance led by HR employee Mohammed Ziyad and Shafna K was notable.

The program, which started with the national anthem, was welcomed by Yab Media Anchor Raheema Shaneed. Farsana Abdul Jabbar, Adv. Mohammed Abdurahman Al Suwaidi, Adv. Luay Abu Amra, Ali Rashid Saif Al Mansoori, Mundir Kalpakancheri, Nihas Hashim, and Career Guru Consultant Jasmine delivered speeches.
