Preparation for privatization
Okaz newspaperTHE Vision 2030 was not just ink on paper or plans without reality or dreams that are difficult to achieve. On the other hand, it is becoming a reality on the ground. The Vision 2030 has been activated through supportive economic programs, which will contribute to increasing the country’s gross national product (GNP).The privatization program has been implemented with a modern outlook overcoming all the negative aspects that have occurred in some countries. I would like to reiterate here that the privatization in Saudi Arabia would be different from other developing countries.It’s the answer to the concerns expressed by officials in the departments and corporations that have been targeted for privatization. There were concerns that privatization would lead to many...

Cases of indebted prisoners
Al-Riyadh newspaperDEBT prisoners are imprisoned by executive courts for failing to pay back their loans. There are big differences between these prisoners. I do not mean the difference between the amounts of loans they have taken. Some of them may be jailed for not paying thousands of riyals, while others may be indebted for tens or hundreds of millions of riyals. I mean the difference is in the reasons for taking loans.The executive laws insist that debtors who procrastinate payment of loans or even default on installments should be imprisoned. Article 83 of the law has been amended explaining cases when a debtor can be imprisoned. The paragraph 1/2/83/A of the law explains that the debtor must be imprisoned if the loan amount was used for fraudulent purposes or the debtor was involved...

Let’s all choose to be happy!
AlJazirah NewspaperA person can choose to be happy regardless of the obstacles that may stand in the way. It is natural for a person to feel sad and express that sadness. However, it is your right as well to live happily and choose to be happy.I once met a woman who always carries an oxygen tank with her so she can breathe regularly. What drew my attention to this woman was the fact that not only was she smiling, but even her eyes seemed happy. Later, I discovered that this young woman suffers from cancer. Even though she is a cancer patient, she had positive energy that is hard to find in people who are healthy.The woman I am talking about, Shaimaa Al-Eidi, is from Kuwait. I still remember her words that deeply touched my heart. When asked how she felt after being diagnosed with cancer,...

Entertainment creates positivity
AlJazirah NewspaperSince the establishment of the General Entertainment Authority, many Saudis have voiced their satisfaction with the events it has organized. Those Saudis who do not have the chance or ability to travel abroad are particularly happy.Entertainment should aim to bring some joy into the lives of people whether rich or poor. It should provide everyone with numerous events to attend and enjoy daily, weekly, monthly and seasonally.Entertainment long existed in the Kingdom but due to the radical changes that took place in the country and those who believed it was a waste of time and money, it was banned. For example, movie theaters, comedy shows, circuses and concerts existed in many cities of the Kingdom before they were banned.Nowadays, we hear Saudis asking: “Where should...

Does the Ministry of Commerce have a solution to the problem of buying and selling cars?
OkazWhen the system of buying cars on installments was introduced several decades ago, it became a must for everybody wanting to buy a car on installment to bring a guarantor who would be obligated by law to pay if the purchaser was to default on his payments.With time, this method proved ineffective in protecting the rights of car companies. The system was abused when purchasers and guarantors began selling their vehicles and then disappearing. If caught, they would go to jail for a while but would then be let out with a special court order because of their inability to pay, or they would remain in jail for a while waiting for a kind man to come forward and pay off their debt.After a while, car companies came up with the lease payment system in which purchasers pay installments, but the...

Stop the abuse of women at work
TIMES have changed and because women’s voices are now heard, the time has come for the voices of all women who are abused at work to come to the fore along with the voices of those women who suffer in their homes.This article is dedicated to what is happening in workplaces, starting with education, and then moving on to other fields such as health, banking, etc.Male domination is still strong and whoever controls the appointment of women in leadership positions will choose women who have no voice, opinion or leadership charisma.These men question and undermine those women who show leadership and describe them negatively, abuse them and control them. They use a range of tactics to exclude them and use words that are carefully chosen to defame and minimize the role of woman. This is all...

Crack down on drivers who violate traffic regulations
THE Traffic Department has started using a network of cameras to catch drivers who use their mobile phones while driving or who fail to fasten their seat belts. A new list of traffic violations and their respective penalties has also been issued. Stiffer penalties for violations underscore the determination of authorities to crack down on drivers who flout traffic regulations.Drivers who complain about the new penalties remind me of a popular saying: “If you don’t steal, then don’t be afraid.” In other words, instead of focusing on the repercussions of breaking the law, focus on not breaking it!Beyond applying fines and penalties, there is a need for an integrated system that raises awareness and guarantees the smooth flow of traffic. Unfortunately, this will not be possible until...

Punish those who litter our beaches
WHETHER you are in Al-Khobar, Dammam or any other city, you will definitely enjoy beaches and waterfronts the quality of which you would rarely see abroad. Words cannot truly compliment our municipalities, which unfortunately receive a lot of criticism.When I compare our beaches and seafronts that are hundreds of kilometers long with what I see abroad, I feel we have some of the world’s best waterfronts. They are suitable for walking, are green, filled with children’s playgrounds, full of different restaurants and have adequate parking areas.Unfortunately, these beautiful beaches are being spoiled by people who leave their rubbish everywhere. If our municipalities had not provided trashcans, then they would be at fault. However, the municipalities have set up trashcans everywhere to...

Parks should not be garbage dumping areas
Okaz newspaperIT is not too much for Makkah or its residents that the municipality had signed contracts worth SR9 million to prepare and maintain public parks in the holy city.It is the right of the citizens in all areas that their municipalities follow suit of Makkah municipality and review the conditions of their public parks to maintain and repair them.Many of the public parks in various regions were confiscated by land sharks while many others were turned into garbage dumping areas.A public park is not a luxury nor is it an empty land which remains vacant because the residents are not able to construct their houses on.The public parks are an important component of each and very town or city. A city does not deserve its name if each of its neighborhood does not have its own private...
