Public safety must be traffic department’s top priority
Al-MadinahThe video of Saudi student Tahani Almanea in an American traffic court where she appeared in front of a judge for parking violations provided many positive pictures. One was the safety of the traffic system and the judge’s leniency, while another was the appearance of Tahani who was calm and smiling while explaining to the judge in an honest way the reason she committed these violations.This motivated me to write to our traffic department saying that I hoped that they would be on the side of the people and at the same time enforce their authority in a way that protects the safety of the public and holds reckless drivers accountable in court and revokes their licenses. The most important thing here is the safety of people.However, our traffic department fines people, then...

Public safety must be traffic department’s top priority

When the lights are turned off
You are in a department store or a restaurant when suddenly you find yourself amidst lights being dimmed and shutters being drawn. Left to grope for an exit and safety in the near dark, you notice that you are not alone. Other patrons are fumbling about towards the lit exterior, some with small children or bags of purchases.If you are on the second or third floor of a commercial establishment, you quickly find that the escalators have been turned off. To navigate yourself in the dark, you may wish you were slightly more athletic. Sales attendants walk past you and whisper in menacing tones, “Salaat, Salaat” meaning that it is time for prayers or the unspoken term: Get out! But the first call for prayers hasn’t even begun!The Ministry of Commerce should really look into this...

The Arab Summit: How to cure our ills?
During an Israeli terrorist operation in Gaza in 2002, an American politician asked me: “If we were to stand by the aspirations of the Arab people and provided future generations with democracy, freedom and development, would you forget about our support for Israel and accept us as true friends?”At the time, statistics where showing that most Arabs believed that the US and Israel were their worst enemies. Anger was growing and demonstrations were filling the streets of Arab capitals against both states. The US government seemed worried about its “destructive” project of “creative chaos” to remake the Arab world into a safer neighborhood for the Zionist state and friendlier to America.I told him: “If you had a toothache, would you be able to concentrate on a food menu, no...

Social media video clips can destroy people’s lives
Al-MadinahUsing cellphones to take photos or video clips creates many problems. The age of technology has made it possible for every child with a cellphone to become a journalist and anyone to call himself a photographer. However, people who take pictures can find themselves guilty of violating cybercrime laws.Many people in trouble for violating such laws should not have interfered in other people’s affairs. If they had only minded their own business they would not have had to answer to the authorities for their actions.Today, we find that many video clips that are circulating on social media sites are harmful to others. Defaming people through social media video clips is a crime and it harms others and even destroys their lives. Sometimes a clip is only a few seconds long but it...

Social media video clips can destroy people’s lives

Thank you very much Jacinda Ardern!
In the disaster of the terrorist attacks in New Zealand, the whole world has applauded the wise leadership and exemplary interaction of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who immediately declared that what had occurred was a “terrorist act”. The significance of this statement is that it comes from a member state of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, consisting of the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia and New Zealand, in which the intelligence services of these countries exchange sensitive information and accurate intelligence on a daily basis.Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern showed a clear and sincere sympathy from the first moments with the Muslim community in New Zealand. She provided all possible information about the incident in a transparent and direct manner. She...

Promote qualified employees
OkazOne of the most important amendments to the executive regulations for Human Resources is to make the efficiency of performance and productivity the basis for promotion and for receiving job benefits, rather than basing them on seniority as was done in the past. In my opinion, this is a huge step forward in the reformation of the old civil service system and the transformation of the culture of work that we need to reach the goals of Vision 2030.The new executive regulations did not undergo major changes, but the way has been cleared to elevate and reward qualified people. Higher positions are no longer limited to certain people who inherit them based on job seniority. Instead, advancement is now related to actual efficiency and productivity, which will serve to reward employees with...

We must mobilize to fight terrorism
Al-MadinahAs many as 759 Saudis from all over the Kingdom joined the terror group Daesh. On average, they were 24 years old which means that they grew up after the events of 9/11 and during the military and intellectual war against terrorism. Despite that, they were attracted to extremism and recruited in large numbers.This is the result reached by Prince Dr. Abdullah Bin Khalid Bin Saud Al-Kabir, head of the security study unit at the Prince Faisal Center for Research and Islamic studies. He revealed the results of his studies recently in a lecture organized by the center under the title “Foreign Fighters in Leaked Daesh Documents”.The study points out that these documents reveal that most foreign fighters who joined the terrorist organization had only a basic knowledge of Shariah...

Terrorism has no religion
The way in which New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern dealt with the terrorist attack in which Muslims were killed by a racist Australian national demonstrated an admirable sense of responsibility by a world leader. The mosque shootings killed 50 people and injured a similar number of worshippers, some of them in critical condition, while they were praying in two mosques in the city of Christchurch in New Zealand.After the cowardly terrorist attack, Ardern appeared on television and addressed the New Zealand people, saying that a terrorist act had been perpetrated in their country, which had not been used to such acts. While condemning this terrorist act, her government pledged to protect mosques and change the laws that allowed anyone to carry arms, as a precautionary measure to...

Terrorism has no religion

This is how you do it
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand has shown the world how to react to a crisis and galvanize her nation. Following the Christchurch mosque attacks, she took charge and steered her country into taking humane action that has left many other world leaders looking pathetically inadequate.To elaborate on her efforts, Muslims worldwide genuinely appreciated the reaction of the people of New Zealand following Ms. Ardern’s public appeal.If any nation wants to learn how to treat a minority in time of need, please use New Zealand and its prime minister as a case study.‪Fifty Muslims were attacked and killed by an Australian-born terrorist while praying in a mosque. ‬‬‬‬‪How did New Zealand a tiny island of only four million people respond? ‬‬‬‬‪- Entire population...

KHALID AL-SULIMAN
Minister of Health working to improve health services
OkazWhen I saw the name of the Minister of Health on the screen of my phone, I thought the minister was calling me because he wanted to refute what I had said in a recent article about the ministry. In that article, I called upon the ministry to think carefully before implementing the privatization plans for the education and health sectors. I stressed that there was no room for any miscalculated steps or adventures as these two sectors are among the most important and affect the present and future of each and every citizen. However, the minister, Dr. Tawfeeq Al-Rabea, thanked me for the article and even agreed with me that there should be well-calculated and solid plans for privatizing both sectors.I stressed over the phone that the ministry should not take any adventurous steps in this...
