Work environment in the private sector
Al-Watan newspaperTHE voice of Saudi employees in the private sector is rising and their pleas are repeated time and again.A few days ago, a large number of Saudi employees jointly urged the private sector through Twitter to respond positively to the royal decree that granted public servants with allowances to offset the rising cost of living.Some private companies have already announced cost of living allowances to their employees in response to the royal decree while workers in other firms expect they would follow suit. The hashtag urging the private sector to give the inflation allowance has become the most popular on social media networks.Now the question is why many companies do not support their employees by granting cost of living allowances, even by handing them a small amount like...

Saudiarabia.net, Your Excellency!
Al-Jazirah newspaperIT was not strange that steps were taken to reform the Saudi visual media. We were expecting such steps for long. This expectation was enhanced further with the appointment of our colleague Dawood Al-Shiriyan as chairman of the Broadcasting and Television Corporation and the presence of the cultivated newscaster Khaled Mudkhili, and before them Minister of Culture and Information Dr. Awwad Saleh Al-Awwad with his activism and vision.There was no need for us to have 10 dead satellite TV channels, which are not being followed by viewers, except when they hear about the expected announcement of royal orders or other official matters related to Saudi Arabia.In my opinion, the decision to suspend transmission of Saudi TV's Channel Two until it is improved was one of the...

The angels of mercy
Al-Watan newspaperIT has become part of an Arab culture that if an individual or a small group of individuals commits a mistake, its punishment must be borne by all innocent people. This was what happened last week in Taif where two nurses inhumanely abused a baby without any fear of God or respect for professional etiquette.The family had handed the baby to the nurses to give it necessary care and treatment. But the nurses used the baby to have some fun without realizing the extent of their responsibility and the magnitude of the mistake they have committed. As a result of this irresponsible action, they lost their jobs at a time when it is difficult to find employment.I don’t have to mention the volume of shame and disgrace caused by this action to them and their families and this...

When minister turns branch manager
Makkah newspaperWHY do many people are keen to meet a minister when he visits their area to hand him personally their complaints and demands though there are directors of the ministry's branches or government departments in their regions?Why do people gather around the minister when he visits a region to assess the people's needs or launch some projects there?Why do we usually see citizens carrying papers in their hands containing complaints or demands to hand them over personally to the minister?The possible answer to these questions, in my opinion, is: either the director of the ministry's branch in the region does not listen to them and respond or the ministry's directors and their administrations are incapable of serving the people.For this reason, the people take their...

Protect the rights of single mothers
OkazThere is no doubt that enacting and amending laws are important elements in meeting the needs of societies and protecting and developing them, especially if such laws are applied firmly and effectively.The Ayoun Jeddah Organization recently held an important forum for single mothers and invited me to discuss the rights of mothers in the absence of the head of the household who has failed to care for his family.Through this forum, a dialogue started with the attendees, about 30 women in total, that shed light on their suffering, which ranged from a lack of financial support, partners not fulfilling their responsibilities or refusing to give them a divorce. Their struggle also included issues that came up after divorce, such as custody of the children and the processing of official...

The wisdom of Saudi Arabia
Makkah newspaperTwo decades ago, the political situation in the Arab world was different from what it is today. The Arab summit was held regularly and was led by influential countries such as the Kingdom, Egypt, Iraq and Syria. Gulf countries were one bloc and shared the same insight and vision. However, this situation was negatively affected when Saddam Hussain invaded Kuwait. As a result, Iraq was left fragmented and the entire political equilibrium of the Middle East was disrupted.Later on, Syria distanced itself from the Arab countries and split from the united Arab front while Egypt was undermined by the political situation that gripped the entire region. Yemen and Libya were also negatively affected. The political situation of Lebanon became even more complicated while tension...

How to behave at the movies
Makkah daily newspaperWith the return of movie theaters to Saudi Arabia, there is going to be an outpouring of people rushing to watch movies and this necessitates the development of movie theater etiquette.Here are a few things that can possibly go wrong and their solutions:ParkingMost movies are at least two hours long and with drivers in the Kingdom known for illegal and double parking, I hope moviegoers do not find themselves returning to their cars with no way to leave because another impatient moviegoer double parked and blocked them. To avoid all of this, ample parking spaces should be constructed.SpoilersMany Saudis like to be supportive and even if they watched a movie a few days ago, they will watch it again with friends. This does not mean they should ruin the ending for others....

Why are Saudi women against their husbands taking a second wife?
Al-Bilad newspaperExperts say a man who marries a second wife will live a longer and happier life. However, it is very rare for a wife to agree to her husband marrying a second time. Women believe that their husbands should not be shared with other women.Men generally get bored with their wives after a while because of the monotony of married life. Women, on the other hand, do not care about that. The most important thing for any woman is stability and being in a marriage in which her husband is able to provide for her and give her what she needs. Some men do not like these situations; they feel desperate and indulge in extramarital relationships.Many women can live with their husbands cheating on them but are unable to live with a second wife. This would be out of the question for most...

Obstacles to exercising in public places
Al-Jazirah newspaperSeveral initiatives have been promoted on social media over the past few months encouraging the public to go out walking in streets and in parks to remain healthy and lose weight. The initiatives emphasize that walking can help prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, which are closely associated with obesity.These initiatives, however, can only be successful in neighborhoods that have areas where one can walk and jog. Nevertheless, the initiatives are praiseworthy because they seek to encourage people to get active by walking or jogging outdoors.One obstacle that such initiatives perhaps face is the absence of proper public areas where people can exercise. Moreover, the current outdoor exercise areas are unclean and very unsightly. In fact, most...

'Kafala' in the hands of Labor Ministry
Okaz newspaperTHE Kingdom is currently going through modernization and development of its economic policies and systems.Rapid changes in the economy are enough proof that the Kingdom is heading toward a distinguished position in a few years, keeping pace with its Vision 2030 initiated by Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, deputy premier and minister of defense.We have reaped the first fruits of this vision through the hike in oil prices and the success of our policy of economic diversification, which has ensured the state with alternate sources of revenue.The increase in oil prices and the success of the diversification of revenue resources have boosted the government budget in the last quarter of the previous year.As a result, we have the largest allocations in the history of the Kingdom...
