Don’t remove expiration dates from food products
Okaz newspaperSome time ago, I read an Okaz report about a decision to remove expiration dates from products that damage quickly, like dairy items, donuts and other similar products. The reason given for removing the expiration dates was to prevent wasting food, as consumers will not buy expired goods.I waited before commenting on this story because I thought it was in error, as I did not believe that the Consumer Protection Department along with the Ministry of Commerce would allow companies to carry out these steps that would put the health of consumers at risk.Makkah newspaper reported that they tried to contact the Consumer Protection Department for a comment on this issue, but was unable to get a response from them.Removing the expiration dates from food items will turn the stomachs...

Get real, Donald Trump!
I love Donald Trump; don’t get me wrong! He is a great America president, and he has done great things in just a couple of years. His solutions to tough issues, like terrorism, North Korea and Iran, are thorough, strong and effective.Still, I cannot overlook some of his flaws. He seems to be theatrical at times, to an unbearable level. I understand that his style got him elected to the White House. I do appreciate that he is a pragmatic businessman. And that his voters like it that way.But, hey! He is already there. It is about time he became more presidential. The world that laughed at his speech in the United Nations is looking forward to a more serious posture. This is the United States of America we are talking about! This is the leader of the Free World and the engine of its train...

Occupied Arab territories
The armed attack against the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the repressive terrorist arm of Iran’s sectarian mullahs, was carried out by a faction of the Ahwazi resistance, which demands the independence of the occupied Arab region that was annexed by Iran by force in the early 1900s. This aggression underlines the need to reexamine the term “occupied Arab territories”. For many years this term was used for the territories occupied by Israel, especially after the Assad regime sold the Golan.However, the concept of occupied Arab territories has a larger dimension than the Palestinian territories, the Syrian Golan Heights and the Shebaa Farms (Syrian and not Lebanese), all of which are illegally occupied by Israel. We must also include the Syrian Iskenderun, which Turkey...

Threatening a fired employee
OkazThreatening to fire an employee in the private sector happens when the employee is still working for the company. Usually, the owner of the business is the one who threatens the employee and terminates her contract. However, threatening an employee after firing her is unheard of, especially if the one that threatens her is the labor office, which is supposed to protect and safeguard the rights of employees.I received a call from a female employee who was fired from her job last month. She said in pain, “I received the termination letter which stated that my employment contract was terminated at the end of September. Earlier, the female principal of a school sent me a short email asking me to confirm if I was interested in working for the school. I replied that I was interested. I...

Paranoia is the cause of misery
OkazThere is no doubt that administration and leadership is an art and that one must be qualified to be able to lead a group of administrative, financial or technical employees in both the private and public sectors. The most important quality of a leader is confidence, so that he can be decisive in his decisions and appear respectable in the eyes of his employees and also have a scientific and objective view of the work that is being done and those who are doing.The basis of successful administration is that a leader should not be in the center of every little detail and should share responsibility with his employees depending on the organizational chart. When the leader is the central point of the company that indicates that he does not trust his employees either because of something he...

The stolen dreams of Jeddah
OkazI will begin my article by talking about Prince Khalid Al-Faisal and the city of Jeddah. The prince does not need any more praise; what he needs is for us to hold on to his dreams for Jeddah and for us to belong to the First World. He is no stranger to accomplishments, as he has been accomplishing great things ever since he was the General President of Youth Welfare.Prince Khalid is a modern man with new ideas and big dreams; all he needs is helping hands that share his futuristic views and understand his vision.When the new mayor of Jeddah Saleh Bin Ali Al-Turki appeared in his latest speech, he talked about all the problems the city of Jeddah is suffering from. Can we consider him a man with ambition? Is he a modern man who dreams of belonging to the First World?To be honest I did...

Afghanistan: Is it time for reconciliation?
A two-day International Conference of Muslim Scholars on Peace and Stability in the Republic of Afghanistan, sponsored by Riyadh and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), was held on July 10 this year. The conference came at a very complex and delicate time due to the current difficulties being experienced by Afghanistan. On a daily basis, Afghanistan is the scene of confrontations between security elements and the Afghan army on the one hand, and Taliban fighters on the other, in addition to the remnants of Al-Qaeda and Daesh (the self-proclaimed IS). Such confrontations have resulted in a large number of casualties among civilians. The conference, which was attended by more than 105 prominent Muslim scholars from Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt, Sudan,...

No sea in Jeddah
Okaz newspaperI know that I’m a bit late in talking about the big tractor that knocked down the great wall of injustice around the beach in Jeddah. But I believe that this historical moment can be celebrated at any time; this breakthrough concerns the memory and history of Jeddah, it is for the people who fell in love with the city and were once told that “there was a beach in Jeddah.”When Saudi singer Muhammad Abdu sang about Jeddah he wrote it for the Jeddah he knew, the old Jeddah with the beautiful and pure sea. But he wrote this song at a time when there was no sea in Jeddah, just like the title of a novel by the Syrian writer and novelist Ghada Al-Samman “No sea in Beirut”.At that time the beach was raped; the waves were confiscated and the breeze of the sea could only be...
