Diabetes: A priority for women
Al-Jazirah newspaperTWO out of every five women have diabetes while they are still fertile and can deliver babies.This shocking news was published by the Belgian Diabetes Registry on the occasion of the International Diabetes Day, which the world observed on Nov. 14.This revelation makes it imperative on us to move fast to give more attention to early detection of the condition and to take all the necessary measures to protect our women against it.The care for diabetic women should not be limited to certain occasions or places. It should be provided throughout the year at all places women usually go to. We should not only focus on warning against the dangers of diabetes but should instead extend protection against its hazards, which are threatening women in the Kingdom and the entire Arab...

Diabetes: A priority for women

Campaign against corruption
Al-Watan newspaperCITIZENS were extremely happy when the Anti-Corruption Commission (Nazaha) was set up seven years ago (in 1432H) to safeguard public funds and fight corruption. They have been watching the commission’s performance with awe and expectations ever since its inception.Unfortunately the commission’s efforts focused on the margins and not on the root cause of the problem. People have been talking about the root cause of corruption in their councils after they have got indications about corrupt officials and businessmen from newspaper reports and social media revelations.We have heard about small stories of corruption such as forged deeds and taking millions of riyals as bribes but the Nazaha had no significant role in uncovering them. It was done by some other agencies....

Int'l schools and Saudi culture
Makkah newspaperMULTI choices must be considered to ensure the quality of education in our country. Students of different sciences and subjects must be provided with advanced facilities and opportunities to enhance their knowledge following new methods and mastering different languages.The international schools have been introduced as part of the private education system to prepare our children to have a promising future, enabling them to deal with sciences of the East and West. International schools ensure interaction of civilizations and promotion of a culture of equal treatment, respecting multiplicity without prejudice.However, the absence of a monitoring system has allowed many international educational institutions to neglect aspects of conformity with the Education Ministry's...

Young Saudis and pilgrim service
Makkah NewspaperTHOSE who follow the services offered to Haj and Umrah pilgrims by various private sector organizations will notice a remarkable rise in the participation of the Saudi youth in rendering such services. This reflects the keenness of young Saudis to serve the guests of God from the moment they arrive in the Kingdom until their departure home.The increasing number of Saudis working in the pilgrimage service sector was not because of any directives issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Development, or strict instructions from the Ministry of Haj and Umrah or other government sectors, but because of a personal desire to serve the pilgrims.Young Saudis have found the Haj service an opportunity to make use of their spare time in a constructive way, build good relationships,...

A steady step on the reform path
Al-Jazirah newspaperCOUNTRIES› progress and development are always measured by their rankings in the hierarchy of international integrity. The less corrupt the countries are, the more they achieve in terms of prosperity and development. This means that there are strict legal controls and penalties for every citizen who exploits his position to make illegal gains. This also means protecting public wealth from abuse and embezzlement.The decision of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman to set up a supreme commission chaired by the Crown Prince and with members from the Monitoring and Investigation Commission and the National Anti-Corruption Commission (Nazaha) was a great step in this direction. The commission›s role is to investigate official corruption and implement strong...

Should women act more like men?
Al-Jazirdah daily NewspaperAlthough women in the West and the USA compete with men over almost everything, women have had to pay a hefty price for it. Today, women are regarded as equal to men in everything regardless of the different intuitive feelings of both sexes, meaning a woman has to show male qualities such as strength and ability to work under pressure if she wants to compete. If she does not have such qualities, she will be regarded as weak.An American female writer named Wendy Shalit criticized members of society who want to deprive women of their right to be sensitive. She said those members consider women’s sensitivity, which is a natural feeling, as sickness. The writer said that too much equality between men and women has caused some to describe women’s sensitivity as a...

Saudi society is changing
Al-Jazirah daily NewspaperMy family and I were present at the celebrations of National Day that took place inside King Fahd Stadium in September. After the celebrations were over, we left the stadium and walked to our car just like thousands of families who attended the event. Everything was going fine and smooth. No women were harassed. Men were not staring at women or trying to harass women. Police vehicles could be seen everywhere.There is no doubt that the police presence helped control the situation. However, the amazing thing was the transformation of the behavior of Saudi men; men no longer harass women in the public. Today, men have recognized women as partners in building society and all aspects of life. This would not have been possible without the decisions of Custodian of the...

Saudi women without Saudi men
Makkah NewspaperDivorce is on the increase because of frequent marital disputes. Look around you and tell me how many married couples you know who are considering divorce or have been divorced.There are plenty of marital disputes. Men say women are materialistic and impatient while women say men are irresponsible and lack empathy. The families of married couples add salt to the wounds. If their son says he wants a divorce, they support him and blame the woman saying she did not fulfill his needs. If the daughter says she wants a divorce, they support her and blame the man because he did not treat her well.I attended a marriage skills course a few years ago. I noticed that the number of women who showed up for the course was larger than that of men as only a few men attended. Last week, I...

VAT will hurt low-income families
Al-Watan NewspaperPeople have lately been talking a lot about the introduction of a Value Added Tax (VAT) into the Kingdom and the lifting of the subsidy on fuel. Some economic experts believe that this will increase the price of commodities and services and that citizens will end up bearing the costs.Undoubtedly, VAT generates good income for the government and helps the government provide sustainable public services. It will also reduce our dependency on oil as our primary source of revenue. The government is going to impose taxes in order to rationalize the consumption of water and electricity and power in general. It also seeks to increase public awareness and encourage investment.One of the potential risks of VAT lies in the fact that some businesses will increase the prices of...
