Abu Dhabi's DARB toll rules are about to change – here's what's new
Driving in Abu Dhabi is about to feel a little different. Starting Monday September 1, the emirate's DARB toll system is getting a shake-up and yes, it's worth knowing the rules before your next commute. The morning rush-hour toll window stays the same – 7am to 9am, Monday to Saturday – but the evening slot is shifting earlier, now running from 3pm to 7pm. Sundays and public holidays remain blissfully toll-free. .@ad_mobility, part of @AbuDhabiDMT, has issued amendments to the Road Toll Executive Regulations in Abu Dhabi to ease traffic flow on main roads during peak hours, supporting sustainability in the transport sector and enhancing quality of life in the emirate. — مكتب أبوظبي الإعلامي (@ADMediaOffice) August 14, 2025 You might also like: All the fines, rules and laws announced in Abu Dhabi this year Here's the big one: the daily and monthly caps are gone. That means no more Dhs16-a-day limit or monthly maximums of Dhs200, Dhs150, or Dhs100 per vehicle. From September, every pass through a toll gate will cost Dhs4 – no matter how many times you do it. Before you panic, the usual exemptions still apply for People of Determination, senior citizens, retirees and low-income families. And the system's getting a new operator too – Q Mobility, part of ADQ – which will be working with the authorities to roll out the changes smoothly.

Cambodia to nominate US President Trump for Nobel Peace Prize over role in border truce with Thailand
Cambodia will nominate former U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in helping end a deadly border conflict with Thailand. Responding to a text inquiry, Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol replied 'Yes' when asked if Cambodia plans to formally nominate Trump for the prestigious international award. Speaking earlier to reporters in Phnom Penh, he thanked Trump for his intervention and credited him for facilitating peace between the two Southeast Asian neighbors. Trump's phone call last week reportedly broke the deadlock in negotiations, leading to a ceasefire signed in Malaysia on July 28, ending the most intense fighting between Cambodia and Thailand in more than a decade. The five-day conflict claimed at least 43 lives and displaced over 300,000 people on both sides of the border. 'We acknowledge his great efforts for peace,' said Chanthol, who also serves as Cambodia's top trade negotiator. He added that the country was grateful for Trump's support, both in diplomacy and trade. Chanthol also cited the U.S. government's decision to reduce a planned 49% tariff on Cambodian exports to 19%, a move that helped protect the country's critical garment and footwear industry. He said the initial proposal, which was later lowered to 36% before being further reduced, would have devastated the sector. Trump's potential nomination by Cambodia follows similar moves by Pakistan and Israel. In June, Pakistan said it would recommend Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in easing tensions with India. A month later, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said he had nominated Trump for the same honor. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded annually to individuals or organizations that have made significant contributions to peace and international cooperation.

Thai-Cambodia battle rages over temple
There is a fresh round of hostilities between Thailand and Cambodia – both members of the Association of South-East Nations (ASEAN) – along the border. There was artillery firing from both sides. Thailand has said that there was no need as yet for mediation, that the problem should be resolved through bilateral talks. Cambodian President Hun Manet had said that Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim had spoken to leaders of the two countries, that Thailand had agreed to end the fighting but went back on its word. Malaysia is the rotating president of the ASEAN at the moment. Meanwhile, Cambodia had gone to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and called Thailand the aggressor. The border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia is traced backed to a century. Whatever the differences among themselves, it is quite rare that members of the ASEAN had gone to war with each other. ASEAN has been seen as a close-knit group with its focus on economic cooperation. But the border conflict between the two countries predates ASEAN. It has been simmering beneath the surface but it has rarely spilled over into the open. The national-ethnic identities of the members of ASEAN are indeed marked out, but it did not ever come in the way of friendly relations among the members. This in contrast to the adversarial ethnic divisions among the nation-states of the European Union (EU), especially in hotspots like Kosovo-Serbia in south-east Europe. Internal turbulence has been a common feature among the ASEAN members, whether it is Malaysia or Thailand, and even Vietnam and Cambodia. But border clashes have not been the order of the day in this part of Asia. South Asia and West Asia have been reckoning with border disputes for decades. The Thai economy is likely to be affected by the war with Cambodia. The Thai currency, the baht, has improved vis-a-vis the US dollar, and foreign funds have started flowing into the Thai bourses brisker than before. This is based on the expectation that Thailand would soon be able to reach an amicable trade deal with the United States to avoid the punitive tariff rate of 36 per cent by August 1. Two other Asean countries, Indonesia and the Philippines, have clinched a much less harmful trade deal with Washington. Thailand is also comforted by the fact that China and the US – two of its major trade partners – are likely to reach a trade deal, and that eases pressure on Bangkok. The central bank in Thailand does not want the baht to become too strong because it would then affect its exports, and also the tourist inflows. Thailand has been the tourist hub of the region for a very long time. The internal tourist spots along the Cambodian border have been put on alert, and residents asked to move to the bomb shelters. If the war continues for a longer time, the economy is sure to feel the impact. The Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts of Cambodia has issued an international appeal to protect the Preah Vihear Temple from Thai aggression. Minister of Culture and Fine Arts Phoeurng Sackona briefed representatives from Indian and Chinese embassies – who are co-chairs of the International Coordinating Committee for the Conservation and Enhancement of the Preah Vihear (PV-ICC) and the head of the UNESCO office in Phnom Penh – that Thai F-16 jets caused 'serious and visible' damage to several key sections of the Preah Vihear Temple . 'The Preah Vihear Temple is not just a national treasure –it is a monument of universal value, protected under international law.' The International Court of Justice at The Hague had issued a verdict in 1954 saying that the temple belonged to Cambodia. The temple is at heart of the border dispute between the two countries.
