kuwait digest South Korea and Kuwait By Dr Wael Al-Hasawi The South Korean ambassador gave us a piece of ‘advice’ recently when he warned during a public event that Kuwait will end up exhausting all its savings by 2017 unless it diversified its sources of income instead of depending exclusively on oil exports as was the case now. The ambassador also explained that Kuwait was in a better condition than his country in 1961 as a result of oil, but since then, South Korea focused on free economy and depended on small and medium businesses until this sector became employer of nearly 88 percent of the country’s labor force. The ambassador’s remarks encouraged me to look up statistics about what South Korea has achieved since 1961, and compare it to what we have accomplished during the same period. I would like to share some of what I found in order to give a better idea about how delusional we continue to remain while enjoying our current wealth and disregarding our future. Unfortunately, we are suffering the repercussions of consecutive parliaments setting an example in ignorance, incompetency, greed and indifference, in addition to a government that lacks resolve and appeases the MPs or lives in their fear. In the meantime, South Korea achieved the following: • Became the 11th largest economy in the world, and one of the fourth largest in Asia. • Gross domestic product valued at $680 billion due to global demand on its industrial products. • Huge industrial productivity that is vibrant and developing, and includes fields such as automotives, steel, fabrics and food products. • One of the world’s best industrial countries in the main fields of automotives (Kia - Hyundai), electronics (LG and Samsung), steel and others. • Improvement in the value of main industrial products which include: heavy industries, electronics, automotives, ships (in which it ranks second after Japan), light industries such as clothes, shoes, etc. • With a market share of 92.3 percent, South Korea is the world’s largest exporter of industrial products, ahead of Japan, the United States and other major industrial countries. • Services improvement including: transportation by 54 percent, insurance and financial services by 29 percent, and tourism by 17 percent. • Scientific research is considered one of the main focal points in the development of South Korea’s industry, which is why the state allocates nearly 7.1 percent of its GDP to it, the highest in the world. — Al-Rai kuwait digest Golden key to expats’ case By Iqbal Al-Ahmad The good thing about criticism is that it brings attention to a certain error, while the best reaction would be one that is professional and based on clear and deliberate application of mind. On the other hand, a bad response would come in the form of a swift reaction that leads to rushed answers in fear of further criticism. The Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor probably has one of the highest rates of corruption and bureaucratic red tape among all the state departments. Minister Thekra Al-Rashidi came to office late last year only to find it burdened with problems so huge that I pray to God that He helps her in handling these. But as long as she finds no cooperation from the people around her, she would be like a doctor writing out a prescription without proper diagnosis. It appears that pressure resulting from incessant media criticism has led minister Al-Rashidi to make hasty decisions without first studying the issue to make sure that the proposed solutions are feasible. I do not know how else I can describe the proposal of putting a maximum cap on the time for which foreigners can stay in Kuwait. The proposal is being studied as a possible solution to the country’s expatriate population bloating to create demographic imbalance. I still remember very well when Kuwait had lost immediately after the Iraqi Invasion a very experienced physician in Dr. George Abouna, the world famous kidney transplant surgeon. The experience he gained through years of working in Kuwaiti hospitals contributed to him reaching international status. Kuwait became a pioneer in kidney transplant during his time in the country. He left for another country after Kuwait missed the chance to grant him citizenship, a decision which was part of the state’s policy to ‘address the demographic imbalance.’ The result was Kuwait losing out on the experience of a man who achieved success equal to what has been achieved by thousands of people who were naturalized. The golden key to addressing the increase in the number of expatriate labor forces is to tackle the menace of visa traffickers. They are the people who will not be affected by the proposed solution which will rather harm the interests of all the employers in Kuwait. Does it make sense that after a worker is trained on a certain job and gains good experience, becoming excellent at what he does, we simply ask him to leave? The problem we have is not about quantity, but quality. Therefore, any deportation policies should focus on keeping skilled labor forces while getting rid of marginal labor forces who work so hard to earn the money that is eventually paid to the employers who blackmail them to renew their visas. The many years for which a foreigner stays in the country is a testimony to their good demeanor and experience in their field of work. This also applies to domestic workers. When they spend years with the same employer, this means they have been very devoted. Should they, then, be rewarded with deportation? I know the minister is under a lot of pressure, but an error is never fixed by another more serious error. When an issue is studied comprehensively and swift reactions are avoided, the results would be clear and successful. Take for example the Kuwaiti constitution - a great document that came after thorough research. Not only does it address current issues, but it also takes into account future prospects. Issuing decisions and changing them every other day only leads to making the problem more complicated. Meanwhile, we are still waiting for a decision that puts an end to the visa traffickers’ trade. —Al-Qabas The political crises in Kuwait can be analyzed with the help of many examples, and there are many lessons to be learnt from such an analysis. The opposition’s demands included rejection of the Amiri decree that reduced the number of votes from four to one, setting up of a parliamentary and elected government, dissolution of the current National Assembly and new elections based on a system of five constituencies and four votes per voter. These demands did not receive popular support because a majority of the Kuwaiti people do not believe that the society is ready for a Parliamentary government or formation of political parties in a society divided along tribal and sectarian lines where these loyalties still supersede national loyalty. The opposing majority attempted to provoke the street and carried out licensed and unlicensed mass demonstrations. When these attempts failed, it resorted to night demonstrations in residential areas where demonstrations are not allowed. There were attempts to instigate clashes with the security personnel, but such wishes did not come true. They also tried to set up the human rights organizations against the government but failed. Finally, columnist and lawyer Mohammad Abdelqader Al-Jassim announced that the opposition has failed. Despite the disintegration and the collapse of the opposing majority, its statements and threats became shriller while its politics became increasingly self-contradictory. This indicated that the opposition has lost its path. Some people, writing on the internet and in the media, called for reconciliation with the government, but others did not want to admit defeat and their mistakes. Among the latter was former MP Musallam Al- Barrak, who said, “We do not have what we can concede to the government. (There cannot be any) dialogue with the authority and political powers must coordinate among themselves...Confronting the government does not worry us.” The question remains as to why is the opposition so fissiparous, and who is the big winner from the political movement? Of the many reasons that led to the fragmentation and collapse of the opposition, the key reasons are the inherent contradictions and differences. The opposition includes political Islam groups such as Muslim Brotherhood, Salaf Movement, and LOCAL KUWAIT: An aerial view shows Souq Sharq. — Photo by Fouad Al-Shaikh kuwait digest A lesson from our crises The media has recently published several reports about the government’s plans to resolve some of the entrenched problems in Kuwait that have snowballed into a crisis, including the intractable traffic jams, massive overcrowding at public medical facilities, and the demographic imbalance. However, most of these proposals are not prudent and it seems no proper studies were carried out before pitching these ideas. In the most part, the proposals discriminate against the expatriates, and thus violate article 22 of the Kuwaiti Constitution. That article says: “Relations between employers and employees and between landlords and tenants shall be regulated by law on economic principles, due regard being given to the rules of social justice.” Among these proposals is a decision approved by the Ministry of Health to give Kuwaiti patients the sole right to check into outpatient clinics during the morning shift. Not only is such a proposal discriminatory, unjust and inhuman, but it also violates the principles of medicine which is based on diagnosing and treating patients regardless of nationality, gender or race. It is unconstitutional, violates the principles of social justice, and does not take into account the fact that the expatriate community outnumbers the Kuwaiti national population. The new proposal follows the same path of discriminatory practices that the Ministry of Health already practices, including having a list of certain medications that are only given to Kuwaitis. Another proposal attributed to the Interior Ministry is about increasing the fees that expatriates By Dr Shamlan Al-Essa Umma Party. It also has tribal MPs and MPs from the nationalist faction and the only thing that brings them together is the animosity towards the government. There is no clear intellect or ideology and all that they agree upon are the popular demands through which they try to garner public opinion of Kuwaitis. The opposition does not have a common vision or a working program through which it can try to win public opinion, except the daily criticism of the government’s performance. What defeated all these tactics of the opposition is the new government’s functioning style as it refused to bow before the opposition’s demands to cancel the court trials of some MPs who stormed the National Assembly, burned Al-Juwaihel’s election headquarters and stormed the premises of Al-Watan channel. The government did not back off from putting into the dock those youth and MPs who insulted the office of the Amir. Trials are on, and everyone must respect and abide by the law. The government proved that it is stronger than all the MPs raising their demands in the media and counseling it to turn the page and forgive what happened in the past. The government proved that it is stronger than the rabble rousers in the street and the screaming politicians. What is the lesson of from all these crises? The most important lesson is that the opposition is weaker than many think. The only organization that can exhort the street to rise is the Muslim Brotherhood but it is more interested in aligning itself with the government for financial and moral interests. So, it cannot take a stand against the government since it is actually hand in glove with it. The government must realize that the public opinion in Kuwait wants a strong government that implements the law, does not play with the constitution, and does not allow anyone to violate the law even if such a person was to be a member of parliament. People want a strong government that works to strengthen democracy and freedoms, fights corruption and does not hesitate to take action. Kuwait today needs its people to focus their energies on work and production as there is no room for screamers and naysayers like many in the opposition. Development requires that the much needed reforms are expedited.—Al-Watan kuwait digest Discriminatory proposals By Waleed Al-Rujaib have to pay for obtaining or renewing a driver’s license and car registrations. The ministry considers this discriminatory proposal a ‘solution’ to the problem of traffic jams. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor is reportedly studying a proposal to set a maximum cap for the number of years an expatriate worker can stay for in Kuwait. That cap could be set somewhere between five to ten years. The proposal has been strongly rejected by those in the commercial, educational and health fields where people believe it will ‘empty’ the country of all skilled labor force. In a recent seminar about dilution of freedoms in Kuwait, Dr. Fawaz Faran diagnosed Kuwait’s problems in general in these words: “Kuwait addresses the symptoms but ignores the disease itself.” I think this is a very accurate diagnosis if we take into account the aforementioned proposals that fail to address the root causes of any problem. It is mismanagement and a culture of corruption seeping through our state departments that is responsible for these problems. Lack of hospital construction projects and shortage in bed capacity is what actually needs to be addressed in the health sector. Meanwhile, traffic jams require radical solutions that address the absence of any reliable and improved public transportation system, poor road infrastructure as well as corruption in obtaining driving licenses without fulfilling the norms. The demographic imbalance was also chiefly caused by rapid increase in marginal labor forces as a result of leniency in prosecuting visa traffickers.—Al-Rai WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 2013 kuwait digest The real faces behind masks By Thaar Al-Rashidi It seems that it is time for some people to end the sham political masked ball dance going on for some time as their masks have been coming apart, largely because these are no more needed. First they sported the mask slogan of “raising the ceiling of demands.” Then came the “aggressive opposition” mask, followed by the “sharp political speech” mask and the “freedom” mask. One after the other, the masks fell. All those masks were nothing except tools which were used in one or the other scene enacted on the political theater’s stage. The play is now almost over. Everyone knows the real faces behind the masks. Some observers were shocked by the shifted positions. Personally, I was not surprised by many opposition figures shifting stances. As I mentioned in my articles in the past, some among the opposition were allied directly or indirectly with those on the other side. The change of positions lately is nothing but the practice of changing partners during a political conflict. In plain Arabic language, the internal opposition today is partly a reflection of the conflict among the big wings. The story, which is clear to some, is only a tale of one follower, and one who is being followed. No longer can the opposition hide its internal conflict and that is why it has spelled it out. This is the reality today - the opposition is kicking the opposition, while the authority is merely looking on, amused. Whether those in authority are involved or not, they do have a free ring side seat and are watching what is going on. What does the intra-opposition conflict tell us? Why are they kicking each other? There is no doubt that the opposition was, to some extent, being held hostage to open and secret coalitions with the big four influential figures calling the shots for many years now. It was now natural that the conflict among the big four expands and affects some of their allies. The natural and logical question is when was the opposition penetrated? The answer is very simple, as simple as the one that the old man shepherding a herd of camels spouted for the benefit of a beautiful educated TV program host. When she asked for how long have you been growing camels, the old man hesitated a little, and then said, “Since...since...long ago.” Yes, your opposition was penetrated “since ...long ago.” — Al-Anbaa kuwait digest Worst cabinet in Kuwait history By Abdullatif Al-Duaij It is a shame to see the opposition group debating the issue of having an elected cabinet, something supposed to be a resolved matter for democrats in the first place. It is a democratic issue that needs no argument to begin with. Furthermore, our constitution confirms that appointing ministers as parliament members is an idea that was coined by the Kuwaiti legislators, and is something no other democratic system practices. It is a shame that after 50 years of practicing democracy, there is still skepticism about the idea of an ‘elected’ cabinet. I am using the term ‘elected’ loosely because there is no such a thing as an elected cabinet. There is a parliamentary cabinet formed by the majority in parliament. Kuwait had one parliamentary cabinet, which - perhaps coincidently - is regarded as the worst cabinet in the history of Kuwait. It was the fourth cabinet that was founded on January 3, 1965 and headed by the late Sheikh Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah. It was formed, or more precisely was forced by the parliament’s majority following the resignation of a ‘national’ cabinet that the government had appointed only a few days before. Not only was this cabinet the worst in Kuwait’s history, but it also laid the foundations for the tradition of turning ministers into ‘senior employees’, as the majority of ministers at that time were not members of the ruling family. They were not merchants similar to those who were appointed by the government and were eventually overthrown. It was a one hundred percent ‘elected’ cabinet, as it was chosen by a majority of MPs in the 1963 parliament that was legitimately elected by the people, the source of all power. Democratic system cannot be improved by making empty promises, nor does it happen by skipping significant historic steps - just as what the opposition is doing today. The majority in the annulled 2012 parliament is strikingly similar to the majority in the 1963 parliament. The only difference is in their position towards the government. The 2012 majority’s position could shift completely if the government was to get rid of their civil and reformist attitude which started with the beginning of the reign of HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah. Aside from all the calls about opposition and democracy, the majority in the scrapped 2012 parliament is just like the one which opposed the nationalist cabinet nearly 50 years ago. They share the same goals and position against the concept of civil state as well as real development and reform. It is sad that the opposition has distorted the democratic struggle, and made obvious things like moving towards a full parliamentary system a debatable issue or even a taboo subject. Kuwait’s destiny is to move towards a full parliamentary system. It is the natural course of things for any democratic society, and all the Kuwaitis, people and rulers, accepted this 50 years ago. Therefore, it is a disgrace to allow the issue of parliamentary cabinet to become a rejected or questionable issue these days. — Al-Qabas
LOCAL ITQAN Academy moves to new headquarters KUWAIT: As part of the continuous development plans witnessed in ITQAN Academy since its launch last July, Boubyan Bank announced the moving of the Academy to the new headquarters inside the campus of Gulf University for Science & Technology (GUST).

Salwa Abdulrahim said that the degradation in diving sites in Kuwait are greatly contributed to fishermen’s abuse who use non-edible fish species as baits and place their traps in non-fishing zones, she pointed out. She further explained that damaged nets are also thrown into the waters which become a graveyard to marine creatures. Her warnings extended to waste and ship oil seeping into the sea that become detrimental to plankton, crucial food source to fish. This careless human interference has majorly affected marine life and has prevented it from going through its own cycle of cleaning and healing. Overfishing, that is when people fish during fish breeding seasons, in another factor that harms marine environment. She called on those people who take fishing as a hobby to put small fish back into the sea in order to breed. “Despite the destruction of our marine life, it is still beautiful,” Abdulrahim said, pointing out that she has organized undersea photo shooting courses to provide people with an opportunity to take in marine beauty. “The best time for enjoying undersea marine life beauty is during the winter seasons as well as the end of May, when sea waters are clear from any pollutants,” she said. The Area surrounding Garooh Island, she said, is considered one of the best diving areas in Kuwait due to abundance in corals and marine organisms. However, the islands of Kubbar and Um El Maradem have less marine beauty since they are negatively affected by their closeness to the shore. Abdulrahim expressed disappointment in the lack of comprehensive environmental awareness campaigns in the country, calling on education and media institutions as well as diving training centers to organize such campaigns. Salwa Abdulrahim is a Scuba School International (SSI) executive director. She went under advanced and professional diving courses in Egypt and Germany. — KUNA Information minister heads cultural planning committee KUWAIT: Culture, Arts and intellectual planning committee in the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters held its first meeting yesterday, headed by the Minister of Information, Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Chairman of the National Council, Sheikh Salman Sabah Al-Salem Al-Humoud Al-Sabah.
