Ensure the safety of children on school buses
OkazAs usual, the Ministry of Education has sent out more instructions on paper after the painful incident where a school bus driver forgot the child Abdulaziz Mostafa, who was locked inside a bus and died of suffocation, in Al-Hofuf in the Eastern Province. This was exactly the same as the incident where Nawaf Al-Sulami, a young Jeddah student, died after he was left inside a bus.With each painful incident where an innocent life is lost, large quantities of paper and ink are wasted typing and printing the same memos for the same accidents. In the same way, investigation committees are formed after each accident. The reason for tragic incidents is clearly the negligence of those responsible for the safety of male and female students on school buses.Dear Minister of Education, we do not...

Oil issues!
Many expected oil prices to tumble after US President Donald Trump tweeted his displeasure at rising prices. He threatened OPEC countries and said that they should cut prices, repeating this in two speeches. But that did not happen. In fact, prices jumped so fast that the $85 barrier was broken, with expectations that it would reach $90.What is happening is that America has become self-sufficient in oil, both conventional and oil shale, and has turned into an oil exporter. As a result, the share of US imports from OPEC countries has become marginal, and the higher price of oil has increased the income of giant US oil companies. This then has resulted in an increase in tax revenue for the US Treasury.Furthermore, Trump’s statements are consistent with the populist rhetoric of next...

Hand in hand with America, the UK must renegotiate the Iranian nuclear deal
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, known as “the Iran nuclear deal”, was struck in 2015, between Iran and six world powers, the US, UK, Russia, France, China, and Germany. With a low bar set for foreign policy achievements during the eight year Obama presidency, it was hailed as the “signature” foreign policy achievement of the US Administration. The deal essentially lifted economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for limitations to the country’s nuclear energy program. But, this deal has been exposed for what it is – a flawed foreign policy decision – and the UK should support President Trump in new efforts to mitigate the threat posed by Iran.The US’s withdrawal from the deal should not have come as a surprise. President Trump does not stand alone in his criticism of...

Hire only qualified people
Okaz newspaperThe Dean of Zagazig University in Egypt stated that the main reason behind the deterioration of the Egyptian education system was the reliance on personal achievements rather than group and institutional work, which relies on perfection in performance and the spirit of group work.The dean added at a recent international conference that efficient education required a reliance on qualified people who were able to serve the community and manage its public institutions. He added that this was the strategy employed by the 19th century ruler Muhammad Ali when he started building modern Egypt. According to the dean, there must be a change in the methods, structure and building of education in order to develop the ability to do group work once again.The state of education in the Arab...

Saudi Arabia’s public diplomacy builds international bridges
PUBLIC diplomacy plays a crucial role in international relations by establishing a dialogue with members of the public of foreign nations in order to inform them and influence the main actors in international politics. The purpose of public diplomacy is to explain and speak in favor of government policies and to represent a specific nation to the foreign public.Saudi Arabia has implemented several methods of public diplomacy, such as cultural diplomacy, educational exchange programs and international broadcasting. The Kingdom has been able to advance its foreign policy interests as it has the unique approach of using both hard and soft powers. This approach is directly linked to Saudi Arabia being the home of the Islamic religion and one of the wealthiest nations in the world due to its...

The Kingdom’s security is its own responsibility
Okaz newspaperWhen the president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced his determination to withdraw his troops from Syria, he demanded that Gulf States pay the bill for the presence of his troops. At that time, I wrote that the presence of the US in Syria was to protect America’s personal influence and interests in light of the Russian presence in the country. The United States is in fact paying its own bill, which has gone up, thanks to its erroneous policies in Iran, Syria and Iraq!The American president used the same tone in his campaign for next month’s Congressional elections and demanded that Saudi Arabia and other countries pay the price for US protection. Moreover, he used undiplomatic language while addressing the heads of other nations; but notably he repeated his...

Qatar’s ‘mad cow disease’!
They spread fake news about the death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. They all tweet almost the same tweets simultaneously with confidence. No one speaks about such “irrefutable facts” except those who are deeply involved in a crime. In criminology, investigators expose criminals by probing such things.We are always told to look for who benefits from a crime. We have all read about and watched the band of Qataris and Muslim Brotherhood. They are the biggest liars, as they circulate lies about Jamal’s disappearance. They just disseminate lies and fabrications.Their hysteria has reached such a level of inhumanity and lack of professionalism that they are ready to circulate fake stories about finding his mutilated body. They have no qualms in spreading such fabrications via tweets...

Protect family firms listed on the Tadawul
Mohammed Al-Kuwaiz, chairman of the Saudi Capital Market Authority (CMA), emphasized that the listing of more companies in the primary or secondary capital market would enhance market liquidity levels, improve the market index and make it more attractive. Landlords, for example, could secure better financing from banks on easier terms and with lower collateral guarantees for the governance and safety of banks.He made these remarks while addressing a forum on “Stock market listing,” organized by the Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) in cooperation with the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul). Al-Kuwaiz explained that the Tadawul has been included in global indices that measure the levels of performance in the market, and that this step has reflected positively on the market and...

Shoura recommendations must benefit society
Okaz newspaperIn last week’s Shoura Council sessions, many recommendations were dropped, such as protecting children from sexual harassment and the empowering of women and women’s rights. Although this was disappointing, it showed that there are members of the Shoura who are working hard and continuously to improve social conditions, which is similar to a spot of light shining in the darkness.However, dropping Shoura Council recommendations that serve human goals without providing justifiable reasons for doing so underlines the importance of discussing and understanding recommendations that serve humanitarian, cultural and civil goals. Since the recommendations presented to the Council were made public and moreover studied and put to a vote, the least those who opposed them should do...

The onus is on us
Not a day goes by without senseless violence occurring in one part of the world or the other. These incidents usually result in the loss of innocent lives.These acts of violence, which are often committed by heavily armed individuals, make one painfully aware that criminals come in all shapes and disguises. They often appear to be ordinary members of society with no external signs that they will be involved in violence or aggression, even while they are mentally planning their devious actions.There is no question that they are terrorists and criminals, for what they plan to perpetrate is an act of violence against innocent people. Such terrorists are no different than others who pretend to carry out their macabre deeds while attempting to use religion to explain their motives. In all the...
