Give back our stolen funds
Okaz NewspaperWE have now become vigilant and wide awake. The time of slumber is gone forever. We used to hear news about any big incident days after it happens. The data was scant and the opinions conflicting. Now all of us are participants in the transmission and reception of news. The night the apprehension of a number of princes, ministers and businessmen accused of corruption was announced, many files that have pained and agonized the citizens have been reopened.One of the most important files people were anxiously waiting to know about was the stock market crash. People wanted to know who manipulated the stock market and stole their money in the worst game that was ever played in the country.This file should be reopened with the intention of reimbursing the stolen funds to their...

Jobless citizens on the rise
Al-Madina NewspaperA recent General Authority for Statistics (GaStat) report has claimed that some citizens have been unemployed for 15 years or more during the second quarter of 2017. It said the number of the jobless Saudi men and women reached about 803,000 with an increase of 25 percent over their number during the same period last year.The report said the number of the jobless women reached 423,000 with an increase of 7,000 over their number during the same period in 2016.The concerned authorities must move fast to reduce these rates and to see that the number of the unemployed Saudis never goes up again so as to protect the security and stability of the society.An increase in the number of employed citizens should not be done by forcing the private sector to secure jobs for them...

Reasons for growing divorces
Al-Watan NewspaperAN Arabic daily recently published a report titled “Six marriages and 3 divorces took place every 4 minutes in (the lunar month of) Muharram.” The news needs no explanation. The report is based on the data provided by the Ministry of Justice. Marriage remains a natural and a joyous event, which makes the society stable. Divorce, on the other hand pushes the spouses and the whole family into unhappiness and misery. It also leaves a negative social, psychological and material impact on the community.I wish the Ministry of Labor and Social Development had made use of such reports to conduct a research on the growing divorce cases in the country. We need to know the reasons for divorce in order to find solutions to reduce its number and consequences. This will not only...

Has Jeddah Municipality forgotten the people of Taiba district?
OkazThe districts of Al-Zumurod, Al-Yaqut and Al-Lulu, located in Obhur Al-Shamaliya, are very lucky. Jeddah Municipality is sympathetic to these districts and has announced that it plans to carry out a project to reduce the groundwater level there. However, there are many other neighborhoods that struggle with the problem of groundwater that causes a range of difficulties that include corrosion of foundations, swamps and the spread of illnesses.If those three districts have the right to have groundwater projects, then other districts also have the same right. In fact, the municipality must put an end to the suffering experienced by people who live in the Taiba district, which has high levels of groundwater.As a matter of fact, Taiba district, or Al-Rehaili as it is commonly known, is more...

Give expats a chance to serve the community?
Al-YaumThe Kingdom’s population is 31 million, of which 20 million are Saudis and 11 million are non-Saudis. Expatriate residents make up one-third of the population. This is an indicator that has developmental, economic and social significance.In the last dialogue session held by the National Dialogue Center in the Eastern Province, I argued that there is a relationship between the increasing number of expatriate residents and high rates of crime and begging, especially among the thousands of expatriates who are unemployed.Many crimes are committed by non-Saudis against Saudis and non-Saudis alike, something that jeopardizes our national security. Moreover, a number of expatriates are linked to Al-Qaeda and Daesh (the self-proclaimed IS) and recruit young Saudi men to join terrorist...

Why don’t students have the freedom to express their opinions?
Al-JazirahFreedom is a major humanitarian right for all human beings. It is the oxygen we breathe. Freedom is what differentiates us from animals. If we did not have freedom or were not able to express ourselves, then we would just be animals.A child’s first encounter with restrictions to freedom starts at home. Some fathers or family members like to be dictators and so children end up obeying their parents without having a choice. In an environment such as this, children learn various ways of being dictatorial and oppressive. Therefore, when the child grows up and starts school, he or she encounters other dictators, in other words teachers.Unfortunately, some teachers attempt to control the way students think. They do not give them the opportunity to think freely and out of the box. As...

Female Saudi nurses deserve respect
Al-JazirahNursing is a great profession. No medical institution can operate without highly qualified nurses. It is important to Saudize the nursing sector, as this is an opportunity to create a large number of job opportunities for Saudi women.There are, however, several obstacles in the way of Saudizing this sector and making Saudi women want to work as nurses. One of the obstacles is the limited number of female students who are admitted into public nursing colleges. Another is the high tuition fee for nursing programs at private universities. Other obstacles include poor public awareness about the important work that nurses do, the long hours and day and night shifts, as well as the absence of incentives. The majority of nurses do not receive high salaries.Female Saudi nurses account...

Religious actions speak louder than words
Al-MadinahSome people dress and act like religious and pious sheikhs, and pretend they are God-fearing when they are not. They do this for worldly gains. For example, some of them want to be promoted while others have their eyes on high positions. Many want to earn as much money as they can.Religiosity should influence behavior and actions in a positive way. If a person is truly religious, his behavior and actions will speak volumes about his religiosity. Dressing like a religious person while acting like a non-religious person is wrong. Actions speak louder than words.The Holy Qur’an warns against fake religiosity when it mentions the story of scholars and monks who use religion for worldly gains. The Holy Qur’an says: “...indeed many of the scholars and the monks devour the wealth...
