Moznah: Set free by Vision 2030
Al-Riyadh newspaper“I want to scream, cry and shout. There is no love anymore. Some of my clothes also do not fit. I feel choked as I cannot get rid of this issue because if I do I will be violating the rules and traditions of my tribe and will be viewed as if I were challenging and disobeying my mother and father. I cannot violate the norms of our tribe and I cannot disobey anyone because my husband beats me. If my daughter comes to my rescue, he beats her too. He hits us both then leaves home as if nothing has happened. My ten-year-old daughter continues to suffer and I try to calm her down.“Despite all the sacrifices I have made for my husband and life partner, he has not shown me any gratitude or appreciation. When he was poor, he had a beat-up car and no money. We just got by in...

Ban illegal weapons
Al-Madina newspaperMY readers honor me every time they send me letters asking me to publish them in my column, hoping that an official in position will read it and do something about it.A few days ago, I received such a letter from a reader named Hadi. I thought it was very important to share this letter with you because of the graveness of the issue he raised and the danger it posed to society.The letter reads, “To my friend Ahmad Al-Arfaj, Greetings.«Since your columns are always accepted by your readers and you are loved by a large segment of people in our society, I wanted to send this letter to you in order to highlight an important issue that has gripped our society and is growing every day. This problem is going against our interests and disturbs the peace and security we enjoy...

Expanding the role of mosques
Al-Jazirah newspaperIT was a good idea and a smart move to select mosques to carry out the ongoing health campaign for eye care in Jeddah. The campaign is being organized by the Ministry of Health in cooperation with certain charity groups until the 20th of Ramadan.There are many awareness campaigns that are being carried out all over the country with the help of mosques, aiming to increase awareness among people in this holy month. These campaigns restored the important role of mosques in the lives of Muslims as a place of worship as well as a beacon of knowledge that reflects positively on the society of believers.Now, there are health seminars that are taking place and they are as important for people’s lives as listening to religious lectures.There are many schools and mosques in the...

Despite that, all the ministers down the line were starting a plan...

E-gates and airport security
Okaz newspaperGOVERNMENT departments and institutions rely on adopting modern technology to facilitate procedures and improve services and this is a legitimate right. But do you know some of these facilities create security loopholes that may threaten the safety of citizens and national security?The most important among them are the electronic gates at our airports such as King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam and King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah. These gates are located in front of passengers before they reach the ​​inspection area. At first glance these gateways may enthrall you as they endorse the validity boarding pass of passengers without human intervention and provide them with access to the personal luggage...

Give Saudis a chance to show their skills
Makkah newspaperI KNOW of a Saudi, who had specialized in servicing Mercedes cars 20 years ago by learning the rudiments of mechanically maintaining and repairing that brand of cars, and I also remember that he was in huge demand with people needing to use wasta (influence) to get a booking for inspection of their cars by him. All customers who visited him at his Makkah workshop agreed that he had forged his numero uno reputation as a result of quality service and excellent manners.On the basis of this first-hand experience I don’t think there is any need for a debate questioning the skills, work ethics and professionalism of Saudis in the private sector whether young or middle-aged or elderly. Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, deputy premier and minister of defense, has set a good...

Racism is not patriotism
Al-Jazirah newspaperIT is disgusting and sickening to see some people openly backing racism and feel proud of it through the social networking sites and some public media channels. They should know that this damaging approach does not go hand in hand with the new and advanced phase of life we have in the Kingdom today.We have overcome many obstacles and difficulties that were put in our way in the past, and are now racing against time to realize greater achievements while learning valuable lessons from past mistakes. It’s unfortunate that some people still are blinkered and have not learned anything from the past. For some people still adopt a racist approach in the name of patriotism.Racism has nothing to do with nationalist feelings. On the contrary it goes against national interests....

School canteens should play an educational role
OkazThe role of school canteens should not only be to provide food to students and ensure that they meet all health and safety requirements. In the past canteens played an educational role and did not just offer food to students who did not bring anything to eat from home.In those days, school canteens were small businesses in which students, at the beginning of each year, would buy shares. At the end of the year, the profits would be distributed to students.School canteens were successful economic models from which could students learn a lot. They learned the value and meaning of participation and partnership. Students even took part in managing the canteen in which they invested their money and this took place under the supervision of the school’s administration. This was part of the...

The SEC blames everyone but itself
OkazThe Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) has negatively impacted many of its customers because of the poor quality of the services it offers. We have heard and read numerous stories of people who have been adversely affected by the SEC, which always provides flimsy nonsensical excuses and fails to compensate subscribers for the damage caused to them.The residents of Jazan have been negatively influenced by the high cost of electricity, which has reached exorbitant levels compared to other regions. The other day, the SEC said in a press conference that most residents do not cut down on how much electricity they use. They criticized the way residents consume electricity. They also blamed the weather and the absence of insulators in buildings.This, however, does not make sense. All residents...

Why are women charged six times more than men to learn how to drive?
Al-Riyadh newspaperIn a recent article, I asked a few questions with regard to allowing women to drive in the Kingdom. Unfortunately, I have not received any answers from the General Department of Traffic or from any responsible authority. However, I realized that some of my questions were actually repetitive as other women had already asked these questions on social media and they have also not received an answer.In my article, I mentioned the General Department of Traffic’s delay in forming a plan to improve infrastructure before women start driving. Moreover, there are a limited number of driving schools in the Kingdom that are confined to five or six cities. Makkah, Madinah, Jazan, Abha and Najran still have no driving schools. Some of the agencies that signed agreements with driving...
