Lawsuit against Saudi Airlines
Okaz newspaperMANY people suffer from fear of fly or the phobia of flying. I know friends who do not travel to far away places and limit their travel to areas they can reach by car, because they are afraid of flying. I know other friends who take sleeping medicine once they sit on the chair so they will sleep throughout the flight and only wake up when they land.I am one of those who suffer from phobia of flying. When I am traveling by airplane, I am always on the alert of any change around me, the sound of the engine changing, the little turbulence, I watch the facial features of the flight attendance if they are panicking, I get scared quickly if we are circling an airport and not landing. When I experience the thing I mentioned above, I almost suffer from a heart attack and I start...

Suhoor and Iftar without electricity!!
Al-Madina newspaperDURING the first week of the holy month of Ramadan, electricity was cut off twice from the street where I live. Oh, Allah Al-Sattar cover the faults. Oh, Allah Al-Latif have mercy on the rest of the holy month of fasting, and what follows of the events and nights of the happy Eid!The first time electricity was interrupted during Suhoor, and the second time it was during Iftar. In both times, the free breeze surrounded us, and the house became overcrowded with darkness over darkness. I had my Suhoor and Iftar with my family eating the semi-cooked food that was on the electric stove. But I thank the electricity company because it made us light candles, and we ate Suhoor and Iftar under the dim and magical light. And this romance is what human beings need as much as the...

Marriage of minors
Al-Watan newspaperTHE Islamic and Judicial Affairs Committee at the Shoura (Consultative) Council has rejected a proposal made by some members to regulate marriage of minors. The panel justified its rejection saying the proposal prevents the marriage of males and females who have not reached the age of 15 and this involves prohibition of the permissible. It’s not legally permitted to forbid what Allah has allowed without a legitimate reason, the panel adds.The Shoura committee’s justification, in fact, is not different from the prevailing opinion expressed by scholars of Islamic jurisprudence on the issue. Some Islamic jurists believe that it’s desirable for a girl to get married at the age of nine and people find happiness in marrying their daughters before they reach the age of...

Hidden agenda of activists
Al-Jazirah newspaperWE have heard a lot of stories and interpretations about the disparate roles being played by human rights and political activists as well as women's rights activists and the ensuing controversy. Many of them engage in such gimmicks to realize their vested interests and impose their views on others. They talk to foreign media to win publicity, thus giving enemies of the Kingdom a weapon to attack the country.Many of these so-called activists are mistaken in their thinking that foreign countries and parties would help them realize their objectives and protect them from trouble. Foreign groups and agents present strange ideas such as liberation of women and the rights activists in the Kingdom consume those ideas without realizing their intentions and implications.These...

Study of Chinese medicine must resume
Al-Watan newspaperIN 2012, Saudi students in China were circulating unconfirmed reports that studying medicine in China would be halted. The Ministry of Education and the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCHS) sent a joint mission to China to consider the quality of medical education and the health specializations in the country.According to the findings of the joint committee, the two bodies were to decide whether to continue sending Saudis to study medicine in China or to stop it altogether.On the recommendations of the committee, the ministry and the SCHS decided to stop sending Saudi medical students to China. Since then this file has remained closed. Neither the ministry nor the commission revisited it again. They kept silent on it for four years now.I am certain that during...

Stop companies from discouraging Saudi job applicants
OkazI do not know whether the company that advertised a job requiring prospective applicants to be proficient in 11 languages was doing so as a joke or was serious. However, I believe that the person who published the advert on the Human Resource Development Fund (HADAF) website should be made to undergo a medical examination.Bravery alone is not sufficient to explain this strange condition that is shameful and absurd. As a result, the authorities have launched an investigation into the incident and questioned officials of the company that published the controversial advertisement.We wish the investigating agency would tell us the number of languages being spoken and written fluently by the company’s owner and staff. The required languages include Japanese, Chinese, French, Somali,...

Ramadan energizes workers
Al-Madinah newspaperPeople welcome the holy month of Ramadan in different ways. Some of them reschedule their timing while others turn their days upside down. Instead of sleeping in the evening they sleep in the early morning and start work the next day while fasting.Fasts this year will last up to 16 hours and we are in the summer when the temperature rises to 50 degrees Celsius in some Saudi cities. All of this will impact the work atmosphere. Despite these odd circumstances, work in offices and at industrial sites will continue as usual as people are capable of adapting to Ramadan.A recent study reported that Ramadan increased productivity in the Middle East and North Africa as more than 80 percent of respondents said the holy month strengthened them morally and in terms of their...

Saudize the healthcare sector
Makkah newspaper“Go, rain wherever you want, the rewards will come to me,” said Al-Nahdi Medical Company CEO Yasser Jawharji during the launch of an Al-Nahdi initiative to employ 1,200 pharmacists. These words clearly show that Jawharji is not worried that Al-Nahdi staff once trained may find jobs with competitors.Jawharji believes that investing in young Saudi men and women will result in high positive returns to the nation, its citizens and people’s health. The initiative aims to hire 1,200 pharmacists in separate groups. The first batch consists of 200 pharmacy graduates. The plan is to hire 1,200 by 2020. Al-Nahdi employs 100 pharmacists and 1,500 assistant pharmacists.Other pharmacies and hospitals in the Kingdom should follow Al-Nahdi and implement similar programs. These...

Double-check the information you receive
OkazThere are have been major developments in the channels of communication in the past few years. Information has become very accessible today. However, we have not yet realized the importance of double-checking information and ensuring that it is true and from a reliable source. We are making a big mistake if we do not scrutinize the avalanche of information we receive and see on a daily basis.Some people do not really care, they believe everything they read and never double-check anything. Recently, there has been a huge amount of health information circulated on social media websites in addition to all types of products that are being promoted. The organizations and people promoting this information pretend to care about public health but all they care about is promoting their...

Create private sector job opportunities for Saudis
Makkah newspaperIn 2016, the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs ordered all private sector companies to only employ Saudis in their human resources departments. The orders were clear that non-Saudis were not permitted to work in human resources.These directions were aimed at reducing conflict between Saudis and non-Saudis in the private sector. Non-Saudis working in human resources were known to overlook Saudi applicants in favor of non-Saudis except in rare cases. Non-Saudis in charge of human resources were also known to place obstacles in front of Saudis interested in jobs. I have seen companies where non-Saudis employed as heads of divisions and departments did not welcome Saudis and refused to let them work with them. Some of them treat Saudis unfairly in order to make them...
