Burj Dubai being renamed

Don't be surprise that Burj Dubai name is no longer in existance. I know this might trigger some curious look from all of you. But, hold your curiosity till you finished reading this post ya.

The world tallest skycrapper building was renamed after its counterpart in Abu Dhabi during its opening ceremony. It will be now known as......

I quoted an article that I get from zawya.com.
"Dubai's ruler surprised onlookers Monday by renaming the world's tallest skyscraper after his counterpart in Abu Dhabi at a lavish opening ceremony in the sheikdom. "
The building, which since construction started has been known as the Burj Dubai, will now be named after Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the ruler of Dubai's oil-rich neighbor, who recently sanctioned a $10 billion bailout for Dubai.

Dubai's ruler Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum declared that "This great project deserves to carry the name of a great man. Today I inaugurate Burj Khalifa."

So what do you say???
