Don’t go to the media with your problem
Okaz newspaperI WAS giving this piece of advice to everyone who asked for it.I advised students of an academy who were given false promises that were not achieved. I gave the same advice to graduates of a health diploma course, who were also assured of jobs after graduation.These students studied at their own expense and spent all their savings hoping that they would get employed after they graduate, but again in vain.I gave the same advice also to a Saudi woman investor in a kindergarten. This woman claimed that officials at the Education Ministry stood as an obstacle on her way and forced her to shut down the institution.I will continue to give the same advice to anyone who comes to me complaining of injustice from an official, a government department or a ministry.Although I am a...

Careless employees
Okaz newspaperTHE story goes as follows. A section manager in a company offered the manager of a different department to transfer one of his employees to his department. Surprised at his request, the latter asked the former whether he wanted to exchange one of his employees with his.The first manager told him that he simply wanted to transfer one of his employees to his department. The second manager knew immediately that the man was trying to get rid of an employee and make him his problem. He rejected the offer, saying that if he were good with him, then he wouldn›t have offered him for free.Another story is of an employee who went to his friend, who is a manager in one of the departments, and offered to work under him. The excuse he gave was that he was not comfortable working under...

Saudi Arabia, a great defender of human rights
OkazThe United Nations resident coordinator praised the Saudi efforts in protecting human rights. He declared that the world body highly appreciates the constructive cooperation from Riyadh and prides itself on the ongoing partnership with it in its programs and activities.I WAS lucky to be part of a panel discussion organized by the Saudi Human Rights Commission in cooperation with the United Nations Office in Riyadh a few days ago to mark the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.Despite the massive political campaign against Saudi Arabia over the last two months, a remarkable activity emerged from the Saudi capital, attended by representatives of a number of diplomatic missions and government officials, to protect human rights and celebrate the most important...

The Sweden peace talks
OkazALL eyes were on Sweden to follow up the negotiations between the legitimate Yemen government and the outlaw Houthi militia. Saudi Arabia supported these talks to ensure its success.A tinge of frustration was visible in the eyes of the Houthi delegates to the opening session of these talks because of the continuous defeats they suffered at the hands of the legitimate Yemeni army. The Houthis were worried that if they would not reach a peaceful solution to save their dignity to end their coup and exit from a situation that they have put themselves in.They knew that if these talks failed, it meant the end of the Houthi militias. This was visible during the talks where the Houthi delegates were issuing positive statements through social media searching for peace. They were ready to offer...

Opportunities in aviation sector
OkazWe have a huge travel market as we host a large number of foreign workers in the Kingdom and millions of Haj and Umrah pilgrims arrive in the country every year.EVEN though we have all the potentials to become a logistic hub for international travel, sadly we did not benefit from this fact, which could have reflected positively on our GDP and created more job opportunities for our people.We have King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, which is the gateway to the two holy cities of Makkah and Madinah. We also have a strong infrastructure for domestic aviation with a network of 27 airports.Some of these airports are located in the north of the Kingdom, which is a busy aviation route. This is in addition to the tourism potentials of the Kingdom from the Red Sea to the Arabian...

Istanbul in Riyadh’s time
OkazTurkey and Qatar saw in the case of Khashoggi a perfect chance to hit hard at Saudi Arabia. They have invested a lot on this case.WHEN all attempts by Turkey by leaking information on the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi failed to achieve their desired goals despite the fact that the operation was managed by the Erdogan government with the help of the official Qatari media, led by Al-Jazeera, and the shadow media financed and managed by Doha, the two countries began reevaluating their stand on Saudi Arabia and specifically Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman.This reevaluation is explained through their behavior. They cannot co-exist with the Saudi crown prince and they cannot wait for another 50 years for a strong and solid leader like him to emerge.Qatar and Turkey built their strategic...

Teaching law in school
Okaz newspaperOUR repeated calls for teaching law as a subject in the school curriculum did not go in vain. The Ministry of Education announced recently the introduction of law as a subject in high schools as of next year.Law is considered more important than mathematics formulas and algorithms, which many our students hate and as a result put an early end to their education and future. A man in his 50s, who is a victim of math education and work in a very low job, asks even today how did he benefit from finding the value of X and Y?Law will be taught at the high school level. We should not ignore teaching the principles of law as the solid foundation on which knowledge is based. Students should learn the definition of law, the stages in which it was issued, the difference between jus...

The Saudi man and paternity leave
Okaz newspaperLATELY an unfair prejudice against Saudi society it noticed on social media. Women were the lucky number in this social and psychological bullying and this may explain the recent radical feminine wave, which made me believe that the Saudi women’s movement this year was the most visible and the most effective ever.Aside from the women who faced the media bullying in many of the sarcastic events, there was this poor Saudi man who received his share of neglect. I will dedicate the rest of this article to talk about this poor man.We have to admit here that the Saudi man is considered one of the most generous and giving, compared to the rest of the men in this world. He brings the interests of his family before everything including himself.In the past decade, we have started...

The Water Company is deaf
OkazThe water company’s employees have made it a point never to respond to the complaints of subscribers.THOUGH many complaints have been made against the Saudi Water Company (SWC) by the public, the company has been not listening or responding. It is as if its ears have been filled with wax so it does not hear anything.The water company’s employees have made it a point to never respond to the complaints of subscribers. They will shamelessly tell them to pay the bill or the supply to their homes will be cut.Hassan Niqaiti, an educationist, told me that he lived in a duplex villa in Makkah with four other people. He said his monthly bill for water and sewage never went beyond SR100.However, all of a sudden, the company sent him a bill of SR40,000 for his consumption of water during one...

But for the crown prince
OkazTHE late King Abdullah said to Prince Muhammad Bin Salman when the latter took the oath of office after his appointment as a state minister and member of the Cabinet: “You will rule your ground, insha Allah.”King Abdullah was wise and he knew what he was saying. As the reigning king of the country, he didn’t need to say something like this as a compliment to the young prince. But King Abdullah was known for being bold and direct in expressing his opinion and speaking his mind.This was a strategic choice for a kingdom that existed for many decades. The country must review its stand, deal with the reality and change what needed to be changed so it could outlast hundreds of years to come.We need to review political, social and economic situations of the Saudi kingdom and its need to...
