Nine senior officials at Dubai Municipality have been ordered to retire by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai.近日，阿联酋副总统、迪拜酋长谢赫·穆罕默德·本·拉希德勒令9名迪拜市政府高级官员退休。Those told to quit their jobs included the municipality's legal counsel and executive director of legal affairs, its deputy director general and six assistant directors.这些被停职的人包括迪拜市政府法律顾问、法律事务部主任，副局长以及6名局长助理。Sheikh Mohammed ordered the management changes last Monday, a day after he made a surprise, early-morning visit to government offices.谢赫·穆罕默德于上周一公布了这项人事整改。而就在前一天的大清早，他突击检查了迪拜政府各部门。Video posted online showed him walking into a room with his portrait on a wall and standing by an empty desk.根据网上发布的视频显示，他走进的这个房间办公桌前空空如也，墙上还挂有他的照片。

Sheikh Mohammed visited the municipality, land and economic development departments and Dubai International Airport.当天谢赫·穆罕默德突击查岗的部门包括迪拜市经济部、土地部、市政府以及迪拜国际机场。"He certainly wanted to send a message," said Mona Al Marri, director general of the Dubai Media Office. "Timeliness starts at the top and we won't go after the employees when their bosses aren't there."迪拜媒体办公室负责人莫纳·阿马里表示：“他显然是想传递一个信息。高层应首先做到按时上班。如果主管自己都不在，又如何去管理员工呢？”The media office said yesterday's high-level changes at the municipality were part of Sheikh Mohammed's "keenness to give way to a new generation of young leaders capable of bearing responsibility for the next phase of development".媒体办公室表示，政府高层昨天的变化，是谢赫·穆罕默德“热心于为对国家下一阶段的发展肩负重任的年轻官员们让路。”Sheikh Mohammed expressed his appreciation for their efforts during their tenure and wished them success for the future.谢赫·穆罕默德对这9名官员在职期间所做出的努力表示了感谢，并祝愿他们能在今后的人生中取得更大的成功。
