E-commerce and retail trade
Al-MadinaLAST July, the Council of Ministers approved the formation of the Kingdom’s first e-commerce council. The council will recommend policies and legislation related to e-commerce, motivate it and eliminate hurdles before it.This step came as part of the objectives of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which calls for creating an attractive and conducive environment for investors.It is expected that the volume of e-commerce in the country will double to reach SR60 billion in the next five years, especially with the increasing number of Internet users in the Kingdom, which is around 85 percent.E-commerce is now a huge economic activity in the Kingdom.

The tourist in Turkey and the New Zealand massacre
OkazWHAT was the terrorist who killed many Muslims in New Zealand doing in Turkey before committing his crime in New Zealand? Who did he meet there?Turkey did not reveal any information about his arrival to and departure from Istanbul. Why? Is Ankara trying to hide something? All these are legitimate questions.The terrorist spent 45 days in Istanbul, the new base of the Muslim Brotherhood. How can we be convinced that someone who claims to hate Islam stays in a Muslim country for such a long time?Newspapers in New Zealand dug up information on the movement of the mass murderer over the past two years. They asked why the terrorist went to Turkey and not to any other Muslim country? Was he working with a spy agency? Was he carrying out a task that was assigned to him? Was he a double agent?...

The tourist in Turkey and the New Zealand massacre

Exploiting children for fame
Al-RiyadhEXPLOITING children on social media networks to gain fame and money is a form of child abuse punishable by the law. It is a psychological symptom that could impact the behavior children who get the spotlight in this manner.If a child finds out he or she has become famous at an early age, it would greatly affect their upbringing and mental growth. It could increase anxiety and a feeling of insecurity in them. This is in addition to the pressure on the child from the family and social media followers to remain under the spotlight and make more money.There are many video clips on social media networking sites that show children at a very young age facing a lot of pressure to go out and meet with fans, as if it was a full time job and not a hobby. This will reflect on their...

Exploiting children for fame

Terrorism has no religion
Al-MadinaIT was extremely painful to remember what happened in Christchurch, New Zealand, last Friday. It was a terrorist crime by all means, which led to the death and injuries to scores of innocent men, women and children, who were inside a mosque waiting for the Friday prayer to begin.This violent incident proves that terrorism has no religion or country. It is the product of extremist thought translated into violence and the disappearance of all human qualities without trace.As for those who were in the past trying to link terrorism and extremism exclusively to Islam, Muslims and Arabs, as if all the terrorists and extremists of the world belonged to them, their only goal was to plant hatred in people’s minds and take advantage of the tragic events that ensue for their own...

Islamophobia and the terrorist attack in New Zealand
MakkahPREPARE yourself for the following numbers. The terrorist attack perpetrated by a Muslim individual receives 357 percent more publicity than one committed by a man from another faith.Take for example the recent terrorist operation in New Zealand, where a Christian Rightwing extremist fired machine gun at Muslim worshippers inside a mosque killing at least 50 people and wounding scores of others. The victims included the elderly, women and children.The number of casualties from the attack is shocking and it is evidence for the fact that Islamophobia is spreading among the Westerners.The number of extremist and terrorist attacks against innocent Muslims in Western countries is on the increase. The media gives extensive negative coverage to Muslims, which in turn results in expected...

The murder of an innocent girl
Al-MadinaTWO weeks ago when I was in Riyadh, I came across a story, which was also narrated to me by my granddaughters. It was about a horrible accident that one of their friends at school met with.Muneera was returning with her mother on the school bus. The bus stopped in front of a grocery store and the child alighted the bus.Suddenly a criminal driving at a high speed ran over the girl. This man was escaping without paying for his gasoline. He ran over the innocent girl and killed her instantly in front of her mother, who stood by in disbelief.The mother nearly lost her mind because of this horrific accident. She saw with her own eyes her daughter lying motionless in a pool of blood in front of her.Why? This criminal was escaping without paying for gasoline, which would cost him only a...

My father killed our Mama!
OkazTHE victim of what has been dubbed in the local media as “Jazan murder”, Fatima Al-Malki, was actually killed by hate-mongers in our society with their unfair speech before her husband killed her with a sharp weapon.Her husband had left her to drown in a pool of blood without any mercy. He even abandoned her children in the car after committing the horrifying crime. The children grabbed the attention of passersby when one of them shouted, “My father killed our Mama.”Fatima died leaving behind three young girls and a boy. These children will grow up remembering the horror of their mother being murdered in front of their eyes. This will be a very painful memory that will haunt them all their life.Fatima was murdered in cold blood and there are many other women like her who die in...

Reward people who report traffic violations
OkazIN a WHO report on the status of road safety around the world, Saudi Arabia recorded the highest rate of deaths resulting from traffic accidents among the Group of 20 countries.There were 28,800 accidents for every 100,000 population in the country, while the total number of deaths resulting accidents was 9,031.In front of these scary numbers, we have no choice but to admit that this is a reflection of the absence of traffic culture in the Saudi streets. This is a natural result of the increasing rate of traffic violations, which in a way is now out of control by the concerned authority.The traffic department cannot appoint someone to monitor the behavior of each driver. They cannot also install a Saher camera on ever meter of the road.It is as if all the traffic awareness campaigns...

When citizens are the victim
Al-MadinaDURING a seminar on private-public sector cooperation and the role of contractors organized on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the Jeddah Chamber for Commerce and Industry, the newly appointed mayor of the city warned sluggish contracting companies that they will be debarred and will not be able to bid for new contracts in the future.He said there was a 90 percent delay overall in executing the projects of the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and a 40 percent delay in executing projects in Jeddah.The mayor threatened to create a black list of irresponsible contractors, whose main job according to him is to win contracts and then subcontract them for execution.The mayor said such contractors would be excluded and would not be part of the...

Before Saudizing grocery jobs
OkazI CANNOT hide my enthusiasm toward any Saudization drive carried out by the Labor and Social Development Ministry and other supporting ministries in any sector in the Saudi job market.Without doubt, the right to work is guaranteed for Saudi citizens as long as they live in their country.My enthusiasm, however, somehow has slowed down lately. I have previous experience working as a consultant in the Labor Ministry. This experience made me balance my thought about any Saudization drive and look at it from all different angles to see the reflection of the decision on Saudi citizens, whether they are job owners or job seekers.I believe that the best training in business is not given at universities and colleges, because all those courses are theoretical in nature. The best way to learn...
