It is time to protect the rights of employers
Al-Hayat newspaperWe do not have any statistics about the percentage of companies that do not pay the salaries of employees on time. It is clear that some companies do delay the salaries of expatriate employees. However, we should not generalize and say that all companies do not protect the rights of employees. Some countries have taken advantage of this negative stereotype and use it to apply pressure on Saudi authorities. Of course, they do that to protect the rights of their citizens. In fact, it is their duty to protect the rights of their nationals.Speaking of rights, why has the Ministry of Labor not taken into consideration the rights of employers, especially when an employee refuses to work or runs away.To resolve the issue of delayed salaries, the ministry and the Saudi Arabian...

It is time to protect the rights of employers

Allow government officials to start their own business
Al-Jazirah newspaperAfter five long years of deliberations, the proposal to allow public officials to start their own businesses was shot down in the Advisory Council after some members voted against it. The board decided to completely discontinue studying draft Article 13 of the Civil Service Law under Rule 23 of the Shoura Council due to a perceived incompatibility with the National Transformation Program 2020 and Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the principle of equality of opportunity for citizens.There were also concerns that combating commercial concealment would be hindered and that state officials would become less productive since they would be busy looking after their own businesses.With all due respect to the honorable members of the council and their visions, I actually do not...

The Ministry of Labor must listen to our concerns
Almadina newspaperI have said this before and I will say it again: The Saudization of jobs is something we want and support as it will help every citizen earn a living. Change has to be initiated from top to bottom and this means that the Ministry of Labor must approach all institutions and companies as well as colleges and universities that are unfortunately full of contactors who were hired through dubious means. The ministry should question the people who allowed such contractors into our country and gave them bloated contracts that were full of discrepancies.The struggle of our graduates to find a suitable job that matches their qualifications is no secret. Unqualified contractors get lucrative jobs at the expense of our unemployed sons and daughters who study and work hard to get...

Saher saves lives
Al-Madinah newspaperSome may think that Saher, the automated traffic control system, is unjust. Some may even think that the system is technically faulty and leads to the issuing of unfair penalties. Many reviews evaluating the effectiveness of Saher have been sent to the authorities. However, in spite of all this negativity, there is clear evidence confirming Saher’s contribution in establishing new practical rules for respecting traffic regulations, particularly with regards to exceeding the maximum speed and running red lights.Saher has helped to reduce the number of accidents, deaths and injuries on Saudi roads. This has been confirmed through several scientific studies, one of which was published on the Al-Arabiya website last month. This report showed the results of a study done by...

Custody 'without dispute'
Al-Jazirah newspaperI HAVE drawn many red lines under the expression “without dispute” that has come in the Ministry of Justice decision that a mother has the right of custody of her children in cases where there are no disputes and in which there is no need for filing a lawsuit.This is very happy news. It will no doubt change the lives of hundreds of mothers who have been unable to lead a normal life because of constant fears that they will be deprived of visitation rights to their children whom they love much.Frankly speaking, I haven’t understood well what is intended by the clause “without dispute”. Of course, there shouldn’t be any dispute between a child’s parents, if the mother is to be granted the right of custody of her children. In this case, the mother does not...

Need to change curriculum
Al-Watan newspaperEDUCATION is the be-all and end-all of development. It plays a significant role in determining the future of any nation. It is one of the most important files that can change the face of Saudi Arabia. The educational system includes its structure, components and stages, and plays a major role in the overall development of the country.Man is the goal of development and its various means and this has been emphasized by UNESCO at the Dakar Conference in 1999 when it identified the link between the goals of education and development. Education qualifies human beings to engage in various developmental activities by increasing their knowledge and enhancing their skills.Education is essential for work and production, for coexistence and self-fulfillment. It motivates a person to...

Expanding Haia's scope of work
Makkah newspaperI GUESS all my thoughts and views are not sins, especially when it comes to the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Haia). I believe that the Haia, in its present form, is merely for avoiding blame, because neither it exists in the real form to carry out its mission effectively nor it is absent to say it has gone in the oblivion.One may suggest that the ideal solution to this situation is to close down the organization and end its era of moral policing. This is somewhat a radical view. I think the best solution would be to widen its powers, expanding its scope of work in new areas.I would like to propose that the Haia should handle issues other than morality. There are many other important areas where the organization can play a significant role...

Emotional advantage
Okaz newspaperONE of the worst things I have ever seen was a Saudi reality show TV producer telling one of the participants in a live program that his father was dead. The TV show crew was trying to get the reaction of the participant after he heard the news of his father’s death to add it to the suspense of the show. It turned out that it was not a wise move by the producer.The overwhelming reaction on social media against what happened was extreme anger. The credibility of the TV show dropped sharply to reach the ground. In an attempt to recover what can be recovered, the management of the TV channel apologized and suspended the producer and announced punishment after investigation. The apology was not enough. Once the glass is broken, it can never get back to its original shape.The...

The collapse of an investment fund
Okaz newspaperDESPITE the government’s efforts to support housing projects by enacting laws, extending soft loans and other services and establishing infrastructure, Saudi Arabia still requires a large number of housing units to meet the needs of its growing population.The government has instructed municipalities to soften procedures for real estate property development companies in order to ensure enough supply of suitable homes for citizens. The Ministry of Housing, considered one of the most active ministries, announces new housing projects quite often for the welfare of citizens in all parts of the Kingdom.The Real Estate Development Fund’s capital has been doubled while multiple funding facilities through banks have been opened. The Capital Market Authority is keen to organize and...

I want my children to be happy
Al-Jazirah newspaperON March 20, the world celebrated the International Day of Happiness. It was followed next day, March 21, by the Mother's Day.This year the Mother's Day in our country was more conspicuous and openly celebrated than the previous years. Celebrations were held everywhere. Even the employees in their companies and offices celebrated the day in their own ways.The streets participated in the celebrations. Volunteers distributed flowers and roses. They gave a rose to every mother they met. Even in the beauty salon where I usually go, the volunteers distributed roses among women customers and staff.I felt that these two celebrations — the Happiness Day and the Mother's Day — were interlinked. When you ask any mother what she wants for her children, she will...
