Pakistanis celebrate Jinnah’s birth anniversary
THE Pakistan Repatriation Council (PRC) recently organized a seminar in Jeddah to mark the birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who is considered to be the founder of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Some leaders of the Pakistani community in Jeddah attended the event, which began with the recitation of a few verses from the Holy Qur’an.This was followed by a speech session in which several dignitaries paid rich tributes to Jinnah, the great Muslim leader of the Indian subcontinent. The speakers noted that Jinnah enabled the leaders of All India Muslim League to realize their dream of a separate nation for the Muslims of the subcontinent so that they can safeguard their interests and rights from the hegemony of Hindus.As a customary practice of Pakistanis on such...

China’s economy still on the rails
CHINA’S Communist leadership is taking a new class in economic management. The new subject is how to cope with a downturn. And the lessons might be coming hard to the world’s second largest and most vibrant economy which has become used to decades of vertiginous growth.Though China’s stock market is notoriously unruly, its 28 percent fall over last year, which accelerated in December, is a reflection of business anxiety over the Sino-US trade confrontation that President Donald Trump has brought about. While apparently encouraging Beijing talks between American and Chinese officials have been taking place in recent days, it seems unlikely President Xi Jinping is not about to fold in the face of Trump’s demands which include a level trading playing field and the proper protection of...

The evil ‘Hamadain’ peddle the Brotherhood commodity!
No matter what is said about Qatar, the “Hamadain regime” and Al Jazeera channel, the small will never be big. It will never be an influential power even if it hires all the mercenaries in the world!Qatar has not stopped interfering in the affairs of other countries. It is unrivaled in playing a malicious role in serving the interests of terrorist doctrines, which are sponsored by Doha itself. It invites ideologues of political Islamization movements as well as extremist and violent groups to reside in the most luxurious residences in the capital of the “Hamadain” in order to hatch conspiracies against other countries.This is the role that the Qatari leadership continues to play, despite the huge losses suffered by the state, because of the boycott of the four countries that...

Invading a morgue?
OkazTHINKING of the video clip showing a group of men sneaking into the medical college morgue at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah makes me sick. I forced myself to watch the video on my mobile phone so that I could write about it.The video showed five men who went inside the morgue walking around human bodies and touching amputated parts. They outdid British director Alfred Hitchcock, the king of horror movies.The difference here is, instead of faking the scene for horror, the whole picture was real. Instead of using sound effect for horror, the scary laughter of the men was heard in the background.I will understand when a person jumps over stadium walls to a football field to watch a match of his favorite team. I will understand when people push through the lines trying to buy tickets...

Why energy-boosting drinks are harmful
Although energy drinks have been around since the mid-eighties, their target audience has gradually shifted to the young. Through clever marketing and branding with youth activities, most of these body-boosting drink companies are making themselves part of the daily diet of many young Saudis and expatriates.They are found in the drink’s section of supermarkets everywhere; most come with exotic names and in eye-catching containers. But are these drinks, which are primarily targeting our youth, harmful in the long run? Should parents and schools not sit up and take notice?Take the case of one such popular energy drink sold in our supermarkets and consumed on a daily basis by many of our young. It could be fatal. It was initially created to stimulate the brains in people who are subjected...

What are real American principles?
Al-MadinahAn American woman sent a message to those who are attacking President Trump and who are asking people to uphold higher American principles. In the message she asked them to stop for a minute and think about these American principles. She said that she cannot understand what these people are talking about. She added that those who believe in the American dream need to seek help from mental institutions, because they are in desperate need of psychiatric evaluation.She reminded people that part of these so-called principles was the annihilation of tens of millions of Native Americans so that their land could be stolen. That was an American principle. She also said that most Americans do not know the truth about the attack on Pearl Harbor attack that was allowed to happen so that...

Turkey gives no guarantee
There is an interesting contradiction to Donald Trump. This is a president who revels in US power but at the same time has strong isolationist instincts. He has long railed against his country’s involvement in foreign wars. His surprise announcement last month that US troops would be pulled out immediately from Syria and the hints from his administration a similar Afghan drawdown was also on the cards were therefore in line with promises he had made during his campaign for the White House.Yet Trump is also committed to the war against the international terrorists of Daesh (the self-proclaimed IS). That being the case, his Syrian decision was plain wrong. Daesh has not, as he claimed, been defeated in Syria. Therefore, this is not the moment to “bring the boys back home”.The...

35,000 jobs for Saudis in grocery stores!
Al-MadinahThe Minister of Commerce was not mistaken when he recently said that the ministry had 35,000 jobs for Saudis in grocery stores around the Kingdom. His statement was widely criticized on social media. However, in my opinion, these jobs are not meant for university graduates, but rather for citizens who were not able to continue their education.There is nothing wrong with such work as it involves business that can generate a lot of profit. Saudis have the right to benefit from this and earn experience so that in the future they will dominate this field. Everyone will see how their condition will improve when they make a lot of money from engaging in business.When the government helps citizens to work in this field, it gives them the chance to become businessmen. This field was...

India’s stunning test triumph
India’s first ever series win in Australia is a new high point for Indian cricket. The celebrations would have been even greater had the fourth test in Sydney not been a draw because the last day was washed out. India had forced a follow-on, the first in 30 years for Australia playing at home. Had the Australians managed the 323 runs needed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, it would have been an epic achievement, but there was far more chance that the Indian team, enthused by their success, could have skittled out the Australians to claim a triumph on the field.Tim Paine, captain of the once all-conquering Australian team was generous in defeat, admitting that, by and large, his men had been outplayed by a better Indian team. Sports-mad Australian cricket fans may be less...

Thank God, I am not an official
MakkahI HAVE to admit that I was quite disappointed when I did not see my name among the people who were recently appointed to various positions by the government in a recent decision. After a while, I calmed down and started to think about the matter further. Then I realized that I am very bad in managing my own home and my public relations with neighbors and people I meet in grocery stores and restaurants are minimal.The responsibility of a public office is much more difficult and complicated than managing the affairs of my children, which I failed to do properly.Complacency gives comfort. I know that the government is aware of who is who and how to appoint people in different positions. I was happy that I was not required to take up any government positions because it involves great...
