The benefits of train service
OkazIf we were able to successfully overcome all the financial and logistics hurdles before establishing this historic national project, the stage of successfully operating the service requires bigger efforts.I WISH the Public Transport Authority applied more control on the company operating the Haramain Express Train when it comes to setting ticket prices.The Public Transportation Authority and the Ministry of Transport should look at this project, which cost more than SR60 billion, with a broader outlook than generating profits through selling tickets. If we were able to successfully overcome all the financial and logistics hurdles before establishing this historic national project, the stage of successfully operating the service requires bigger efforts, at least in its initial...

Iran-Qatar: Political hypocrisy in action!
The worst kind of hypocrisy is political behavior sponsored by states. We have been watching live all kinds of double standards, double talk, double identities. What so amazing is how natural it is for heads of state, as well as, religious and opinion leaders to lie to our face, without hesitation, shame or even respect for our intelligence. They don’t seem to care if they contradict the statement that they made yesterday or today’s news.It is hard to understand someone if he doesn’t understand himself. It gets worse when that someone is a government with multiple heads and decision processes, speaking with many tongues and sending conflicting messages.It gets worse when their speech is not related to their actions. So you may accept what is offered in private conversation, or even...

Iran-Qatar: Political hypocrisy in action!

The digital evidence
OkazThere are lessons that need to be learned in order to protect our children.IN a recent incident, a 15-year-old boy was given first aid and then rushed to hospital after a failed suicide attempt.Everyone was shocked. They started asking what made the boy to attempt suicide at this young age. Was he bullied at school? Was it the Blue Whale game? Was it drugs? Or was it something else? What did the father discover?Before I answer what led to the boy’s suicide attempt, let us get familiar with the danger of smartphones to minors. Many families are careless and neglect the danger posed by smartphones to their children. Smartphones could become the means to drive youngsters to suicide or to a scandal.Smartphones allow minors to interact with the outside world through social networking...

Don’t be afraid if you’re not stealing
OkazThere is a famous saying in GCC countries: “Do not be afraid if you are not stealing”. This also applies to drivers who should not be afraid of traffic laws if they are not violating them on the road.Traffic laws and penalties for violating them are not aimed at all drivers, but only at those who do not follow the law when they are behind the wheel.Those who complain about traffic violations and fines piling up should know that we are also complaining about the way they drive and the way they expose our lives to danger because of their driving. They are reckless drivers who speed and zigzag their way between cars while they are busy talking on their cell phones. They run through red lights and confuse other drivers on the road with their sudden turns. With all of this, do they...

Fake diplomacy
The presence of fake news, particularly on social media is well understood, even if it is not always so easy to spot. Fake diplomacy is rather different. Four hundred years ago an English diplomat said memorably that an ambassador was an honest man sent abroad to lie for the good of his country. While this cynical analysis is undoubtedly still true at times, it ignores the many envoys who set out in good faith to represent their country abroad. The enduring problem among most Western nations is that their diplomats generally now only serve relatively short terms in any one country. They are moved on at the very point where their understanding of a country and its people is reaching its peak. Had they served more than the normal three or four years they would have been in a stronger...

Racial profiling at Paris St-Germain
In France, authorities prohibit the collection of data on an individual’s race, religion or ethnicity. However, that seems not to be the case for the French football club Paris St-Germain which is facing a football inquiry over racial profiling.After the French investigative website Mediapart published leaked documents, the French Football Federation said its ethical council will look into PSG’s recruiting policy after club scouts illegally profiled the ethnic origins of potential young recruits.In a statement released by PSG, the club said that the practice of racial profiling took place between 2013 and 2018 but that its management was not aware of it at the time, knew about it only last month, was done in secret, and has vowed to get to the bottom of what happened.PSG knows that...

In the end we will prevail
Okaz newspaperIn the end, right will prevail. Those who have tried to use the case of Jamal Khashoggi and what happened to him in the consulate in Istanbul are going to be disappointed.The haters of Saudi Arabia have joined this massive hate campaign against the Kingdom and have mobilized their mercenaries in satellite TV channels, coming up with fake news aimed at damaging the reputation of Saudi Arabia.Moreover, the forces of evil are trying hard to instigate chaos in the land of the two Holy Mosques similar to what was done in Iraq, Syria and Libya in the so-called Arab Spring.This is nothing more than a continuation of a devilish plan that is aimed at shaking the governments of Arab countries in an effort to divide them into small sectarian groups that fight with each other and destroy...

Hate continues!
A series of explosive parcels recently worried America, and then only days later a terrorist incident led to the death of Jewish worshipers in a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. These events are the result of a climate of rising hatred, which is no longer limited to America alone, but has spread like a deadly virus around the world in a stunning and terrifying way.Hatred has found its goal in modern technology. Those who have had feelings of hatred that they have kept to themselves have now discovered through social networking sites that they are not alone. All terrorist groups attract their members through social networks, including terrorist organizations, such as Daesh (the self-proclaimed IS), Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda.Some of those who harbor such hatred do so in the name of...

Hit hard by rain
Okaz newspaperThe Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs knows that flooding of streets during rain is a stain on its record because it becomes obvious that the city lacked major infrastructure development.MOST Saudi cities get their share of floods and destruction during the rainy season. For a fact, rain and floods are a universal problem and not limited to one country or other.The Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs knows that flooding of streets during rain is a stain on its record because it becomes obvious that the city lacked major infrastructure development.All our small and big cities did not complete their floodwater drainage projects. The National Water Company joined the club and drowned us even deeper with surfacing groundwater.Because the ministry has assumed total...

Devilish Iran besieged
Okaz newspaperTHE new US sanctions against Iran took effect on Nov. 5. Many countries bet that President Donald Trump did not have the intention to impose these sanctions and it was nothing but an empty threat.They argued that the sanctions could not be effectively imposed because of international complications and conflicts of interest. President Trump, however, proved that he can go far and has the determination to impose these sanctions at a time when the Iranian leaders were making fun of him, believing until the last minute that the talk of sanctions was nothing more than a political maneuver.Iran deserves tougher punishments because it is the biggest rogue country in the Middle East, especially after the honeymoon between Iran and the US administration under Barack Obama ended.During...
