Parents must teach children the values of Islam
Al-Madina NewspaperWhen the Kingdom provided the opportunity for all members of society to excel and recognized the importance of female participation in many aspects of life and granted women the right to drive, participate in different types of sports and enter stadiums, it did so without compromising our values as a society. These changes are considered by many to be a drastic change for Saudis but it is also a welcome change during a time full of promises, accomplishments and visions for the future.All of this ensures personal freedoms for everyone and covers both private and public interests. For example, it allows families to have the freedom of choice depending on their needs and social circumstances without any force. This is where the family’s role begins wherein they raise and...

What we need to achieve Vision 2030
Al-Madina NewspaperWhat do we lack to be at the top of the list of developed countries? Do we lack money or is it manpower and natural resources? Do we lack a foundation that is based on civilization and history to build our future upon, or do we lack ethics and values? Is it the case that efficiency or technology is amiss? Do we need five-year plans or new initiatives? These things are repeatedly mentioned in conferences, but what is actually missing?Seeing other countries progress internationally makes me wonder about my country. Why have we not progressed in the same way? What is it that we are missing that does not allow us to take steps forward and instead forces us to remain behind?It is all about the desire, courage and capability to change. Money, time, effort and efficiency are...

Who is responsible for neglected mosques?
Okaz NewspaperThe Kingdom’s cities are full of mosques that are managed by the government. Mosques on highways, typically attached to rest stops or gas stations, are privately owned and managed and this is where the trouble starts. Used by travelers for praying and for the use of the attached bathroom facilities, these mosques have been sadly neglected to such an extent that people, upon seeing the pathetic state of the bathrooms, opt not to use either.This raises the question about the attitude of officials at the Endowments Administration with regard to this problem and the citizens who contributed to building these mosques but failed to look after them. Don’t they know that Allah the Almighty accepts only that which is good?Another common problem that many travelers face is buying...

Achieving success is not easy
Al-Riyadh NewspaperDuring my childhood I was obsessed with reading the biographies of well-known and inspirational figures who contributed to building human civilization. The process of writing about such iconic figures is very difficult because the writer is expected to dive into the depths of humanity to bring to light events and facts that may not be known to the general public.Regardless of their achievements, such inspirational men and women are human beings and not superheroes even though we may like to think that they are.The one thing that sets these people apart is that they fought all the hardships that life threw in their direction head on and with everything they had. Many went through poverty, pain and personal strife but overcame these hardships and were able to make their...

The solution for unemployment
Al-Madina newspaperI READ this good news on the last page of Al-Madina newspaper recently: The period of waiting for employers to apply for recruitment visas after placing job advertisements in the media has been extended to 45 days in a move to support the Saudization program in private companies.This news gives great hope for our unemployed sons and daughters. I spoke with an official in the Ministry of Labor and Social Development in the Makkah province. He said they have deployed about 120 inspectors to ensure employment of Saudis.Unfortunately, I have not seen any of these inspectors. There is an important question: Have any of these inspectors visited big companies and groups? Have they able to enter any of these companies to find out how many jobs are available there for...

A society for animal welfare
Al-Watan newspaperA FEW days ago the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture announced the establishment of a society for animal welfare following the Ministry of Labor and Social Development’s approval. The aim of this association is to raise awareness of animal rights and provide them with adequate sheltering and caring facilities. It will also prevent negligence and meet aspirations of animal right activists, provide them with necessary support and training. It will be given an official status to make use of its members’ energy and voluntary services in cooperation with the ministry and government and private entities as per the existing regulations and instructions.In my opinion the formation of an animal welfare society is a wise decision by the ministry, especially our...

List of top 100 Saudi journalists
Al-Madina newspaperI recently saw a list prepared by the Arthur Carter Institute of Journalism at New York University that included the names of top 100 media personalities in America over the last 100 years. I noticed famous journalist Christiane Amanpour's name was at the top of the list, which made me curious to find out about her journalistic achievements especially that I found her name in another list prepared by the New York Academy of Film for the ten most influential journalists in the world.Christiane Amanpour is the international correspondent for CNN and has a well-known interview program with her name on the channel. She is also a correspondent for international affairs on ABC News. She began her career nearly three decades ago and her first major journalistic assignment...

Amazing number of SnapChat users!
Riyadh newspaperSNAPCHAT is having a tough time because of its recent update, and the Snap Middle East manager keeps justifying their commitment to the update, which is almost universally opposed to maintaining its comparative advantage. The new update allows users to keep close friends in a list of their own away from the list of celebrity accounts or those where only one user is following the other. SnapChat is afraid of losing people's happy snaps and occasions amidst the huge number of celebrity snaps which might impact use of the application negatively, especially as they bet that 60% of the content is made by the users themselves.The figures in this article are not my assumptions, but were revealed by SnapChat this week in the "Forum of Governmental Communication". The...

The unjust campaign against Labor Ministry
Al-Jazirah newspaperPEOPLE are saying that a number of shops may be shut down as a result of new systems and regulations including the imposition of dependent tax on expats and the value added tax (VAT), which have reduced their profits.Perhaps some of them may have noticed a slight decrease in their huge profits. In fact, some shops have already been shut while many companies have limited their activities to a few branches while closing down the rest.These are the hot topics of discussion in divans and living rooms. Businessmen often tend to exaggerate the measures taken by the private sector to reduce their dependence on foreign workers, who have been hitherto managing most of the companies in the Kingdom due to a lack of experienced Saudi hands. Some companies, according to them, have...

Unemployed Saudi engineers
Al-Yaum newspaperPERHAPS we understand that the lack of job opportunities for "uneducated" and "unskilled" Saudis is not the fault of the private sector, or the public sector either. Finding employment for the unqualified youths is very difficult for the government sector, and it would be very stupid on the part of the private sector to hire uneducated and unqualified Saudis.Employing uneducated Saudi young men and women to circumvent the regulations would in reality deepen the problem of what is called "disguised unemployment."This unemployment, which the private sector is forced to bear, is undoubtedly a natural result of the pressure from the Ministry of Labor, because it is the easiest solution to pour water to quell the fire of a more serious problem.Even...
