SHARJAH // Sixty jet skis have been confiscated by police as part of a campaign against those who misuse them. Launched at Al Mamzar beach on Monday, police used the initiative to carry out inspections on rental jet skis, resulting in the seizures of those found to be unsafe.
Entertainment without Injuries will educate residents about the dangers of using jet skis in an unlawful manner, said Col Shawaf Abdul Rahman, Director of Traffic and Patrols.
“We urge jet-skiers not to participate in racing or any dangerous activities. People should enjoy the activities without endangering their lives and others,” he said.
Emergency crews are present on the emirate’s beaches to assist anyone in need, the Col added.

Should late investors consider cryptocurrencies?
Wealth managers recommend late investors to have a balanced portfolio that typically includes traditional assets such as cash, government and corporate bonds, equities, commodities and commercial property.
They do not usually recommend investing in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies due to the risk and volatility associated with them.
“It has produced eye-watering returns for some, whereas others have lost substantially as this has all depended purely on timing and when the buy-in was. If someone still has about 20 to 25 years until retirement, there isn’t any need to take such risks,” Rupert Connor of Abacus Financial Consultant says.
He adds that if a person is interested in owning a business or growing a property portfolio to increase their retirement income, this can be encouraged provided they keep in mind the overall risk profile of these assets.
