Where's the evidence and can it be backed up with quality civil engineering proof? Having purchased myself in, Dubai, I was hoping for my apartment to be around for a lot more than 20 odd years.
Should I be worried or is it scaremongering?

Scare mongering is more like it. Structures should last more than 20 years considering how advanced construction has gone.
In the event of a demolition what happens to the investor. Would he get compensation from the developer and a new space in the re development. Does anyone have any answers to this.
