Well, found this snippet on the Dubai fire. Sounds like the same deadly stuff.
Dramatic fires have hit skyscrapers in Dubai and other fast-growing cities in the United Arab Emirates in recent years. Building and safety experts have cited a popular type of cladding covering the buildings that can be highly flammable. Authorities say they’ve changed fire safety rules in the sheikhdom to address the danger, but have offered few details.

and a obvious question arises, there wouldn't be much (any?) cost pressure for Dubai to have selected such a dangerous exterior treatment, so does the material have other appealing characteristics/properties to explain why builders keep opting to use it ?

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
