In the emirate, citizens can reach out to authorities and even to the Ruler, telling them of their needs or sharing their feedback. Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah, often interacts with the people and sends out his messages through a radio channel.

The program known as Direct Line or 'Al Khat Al Mubasher' in Arabic, has become extremely popular in Sharjah as a platform where residents can express their concerns and issues. The show's host contacts relevant government departments or officials to obtain responses and solutions to the problems raised by the people. The programme was launched in 2006.
