97 caught smuggling pilgrims to Makkah

MAKKAH: Authorities announced yesterday that 97 Saudis had been caught attempting to smuggle pilgrims who were not authorized to be in the Kingdom or did not carry Haj permits.
Passport Department spokesman Col. Abdullah Al-Orabi said these traffickers were caught at checkpoints leading into the holy cities. “The smugglers were trying to deliver overstayers with no legal status and Saudi citizens with no Haj permits to Makkah,” he said. The vehicles used to transport the pilgrims were confiscated and would be released only after the violators have paid the fine of SR10,000 apiece. The pilgrims who were in the Kingdom illegally face a possible SR10,000 fine, doing time in prison and deportation. read more........................

Leaving OFW children behind: Economic benefits vs social costs

MANILA, Philippines - While remittances from Filipinos living and working abroad remain robust, the ties that overseas Filipino workers (OFW) and their children have are slightly hanging by a thread.According to “Migration and Filipino Children Left Behind: A Literature Review," a working paper sponsored by United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef), the Philippines is the major supplier of labor migrants in Asia to over 100 countries.“With this huge number of Filipino migrants (and still more) living the country temporarily (or permanently), a more pressing concern is with regard to children left behind," said Melanie Reyes, author of the paper and professor at the Miriam College Women and Gender Institute.Based on several studies done by non-governmental and government organizations, about nine million Filipino children under the age of 18 are left behind by one or both parents to work tentatively or live permanently abroad.Economic benefitsThe economic benefits of migration to families, communities, and the state are undeniably true. OFWs sent home $12.3 billion or about P615 billion in the first nine months of 2008, a 17.1 percent increase despite the global slowdown that economists warned may bite the local economy in 2009. continue.........................

King Fahd Medical City: A Saudi Success Story

RIYADH, 20 February 2004 — King Fahd Medical City (KFMC), the largest medical complex in the Middle East, is in Riyadh and consists of a main hospital, maternity hospital, pediatric hospital, rehabilitation center and primary care clinics. In addition to the hospitals there are a burns treatment unit, kidney center, intensive care facilities and spinal cord treatment unit.
Arab News met Dr. Mansour Al-Howasi, deputy minister for executive affairs in the Ministry of Health and the head of the administrative council of KFMC.
Question: As we know, government plans aim at Saudization. How do you plan to Saudize posts in hospitals? What about nursing? Will we see qualified Saudi nurses?
Answer: If we recruit a non-Saudi, that is a temporary solution until he or she can be replaced by a Saudi. It’s too early read more...................

Police said they do not suspect any foul play but that an autopsy will be conducted. read more......................

The Fallen Saudi Woman - A Scenario

The enterprising Saudi man will do whatever he can to entice a young woman to meet with him. They may have first come in contact with one another via an internet chat room or “blue-toothing” or through friends somehow. As their contacts develop the young man (and oftentimes the young woman) will want to meet. The young man will have many suggestions and ideas on how it can be done. He will say all the right words about how much he cares for her, respects her and will go crazy if he cannot meet with her. He will manage perhaps to get little gifts delivered to her and will be very clever in working his way into her heart. Finally she may succumb to meet him in a public venue such as a coffee shop or restaurant. They know they are taking a calculated risk by not being related and meeting this way but the heart is ruling over the mind here. The first few “public” meetings will be innocent although full of smoldering looks. The Saudi man will then begin to tell the young woman how he yearns for just one kiss and the chance to hug her. He will tell her how much he loves her and is committed to her. He could not imagine having any other woman as his wife. Such words and actions can be very impressionable on a young woman. And she’s only human too. Once she has met her young man face-to-face it is natural that she also feels emotions of desire and want. So she may agree to meet continue..................

Saudi Female Bloggers

They may as yet still be a small and minority presence but on 12 November an informal meeting of the female bloggers in Riyadh was held at an undisclosed location. I was honored to be among the participants which also included “Saudi Woman” and “Ruhsa.” An international female journalist also attended and witnessed our exchanges. Not surprisingly because we were all aware of each other through our respective blogs, there was little awkwardness on meeting one another for the first time. We discussed our respective reasons for blogging in the first place and what we hoped to achieve through our blogs. We also spoke about the challenges of blogging as females and continue.....................

Lake in the Desert

Lake location

It is a seasonal water body which becomes a lake in rainy season. The water from the surroundings is trapped in Red sand dunes forming a big lake, more than 2 kms in length. During most of year the lake bed is dry with big acacia trees providing shade and forming wonderful picnic spots. The place is worth visiting for many points, great Red sand Dunes without gravel or stones, approachable by 2wheel drive……challenging for 4x4s, Safe because it is near to Highway and makes an ideal family outdoor one-day trip from Riyadh.

The best season to visit is from October till March when the day temperatures allow day-time outings……….and off course ideal during rainy season.Distance:- About 50 kms west of Riyadh.

Route:

1-Take Riyadh-Makkah highway…..pass down through the cut escarpment.

2-Cross the old makkah road…go straight…..Now you are in Muzamiyah area.

3-Cross the 2nd over head bridge(exit-6). you’ll see a petrol/gas station on your left, you have to reach there after making a U-turn.

4-Make a U-turn from the 3rd overhead bridge.

5-Now you face Makkah-Riyadh direction, look for a link road at your right sign-posted (Arabic-Lake Gharara) just before the petrol/gas station.

6-Take this link road, going zigzag for about 6-7 kms through resthouses surrounded by sand dunes.

7-At bout 6-7 kms look for a desert track at your left…..take the track.

8- After about 500meters you’ll see what you were looking for…….if on 2wheel drive…..stick to the track.

9-The track gives out a branch to the right…going up to the sand dunes. The main track leads to the lake bed. If the lake is dry enter the first gate…and drive through the lake,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, fun fun fun,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ENJOY

Saudi judge seeks to play down execution comments

RIYADH // The head of Saudi Arabia’s highest court, who caused a furore by declaring that televison station owners responsible for broadcasting immoral programmes could be executed, sought yesterday to play down his comments. The original remarks of Sheikh Saleh al Lihedan, chief justice of the Supreme Judicial Council, reportedly made some time ago on a radio phone-in show, were highlighted last week by the Dubai-based and Saudi-owned satellite television channel Al Arabiya. In reply to a listener’s question about “bad programmes” on television, Sheikh Lihedan, 79, said: “What does the owner of these networks think when he provides seduction, obscenity and vulgarity? Those calling for corrupt beliefs, certainly it’s permissible to kill them. Those calling for sedition, those who are able to prevent it but don’t, it is permissible to kill them.” full story

2 Riyadh OFWs bag Presidential Award

JEDDAH: Two Filipinos from Riyadh are among the 31 awardees selected by the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) from Filipinos all over the world to receive the 2008 Presidential Awards from President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. The awarding ceremony will be held at the Malacanang Palace in Manila on Dec. 9.

Awardees Alexander Edades Asuncion is working as an executive assistant at the Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma'aden) while Joseph Magdalena is a businessman who owns the biggest Pinoy supermarket in Riyadh. Asuncion is widely lauded for his efforts in translating and explaining to fellow Filipinos in the Kingdom the new Saudi Labor Law, and encouraging Filipino workers to enhance their relationship with their employers, and be a model expatriate to the Kingdom.

In 1994, he was awarded by President Fidel V. Ramos The Bagong Bayani (new hero) award as one of the outstanding Filipinos in the world. full story

Rewarding the corrupt

WE have a phenomenon for which I don’t have any explanation except that there is a general lack of awareness about big official mistakes. These mistakes no longer attract anybody’s attention and nobody even thinks much about them. These violations constitute the beginning of the end of society. The end takes many forms and has various characteristics, the least of which is that society will stop growing and will be dragging behind other societies.
There are areas where corruption is so conspicuous that no monitoring authority is needed to expose it. The officials in such places make distasteful and shameless statements that there is no corruption. This is of course harmful to people’s emotions. I do not want to speak about anyone’s fear of being questioned because this is not a part of their thinking.
In rare cases when one of these officials is relieved from his responsibilities, it is done quietly and only after the situation has reached such a point that no cover-up is possible. read more............

A Woman’s Life in Saudi Arabia

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a Middle Eastern country that holds a large portion of the world’s oil reserves. It is the birthplace of Islam that contains the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. The country is ruled by a king, and the laws of the nation are set by the holy book of Islam, the Quran. Saudi Arabia is an ally of the United States, and was a host country to US troops during and after the First Gulf War. It is a dry country, meaning no alcohol is allowed in the country, and harsh penalties come to those who smuggle alcohol or drugs in (CIA). Although all this is true about Saudi Arabia, a definition of the country alone is not appropriate to learn about it. To do that, one must study the people and the choices that they can make in their lifetime. The people in Saudi Arabia have many options in life, though some are limited to men of a high social class. The country has become a battleground for women’s rights and government reform. Society has begun to change as the globalization of society increases through international relations and internet contact. These changes face resistance by the government and the societal norms set by the Muslim religion, which requires modesty for women. The modesty, by Western standards, is an extreme control over women and the lives that they may be allowed to lead. Many changes are opposed by the Muslim clerics, read more............

Will the Arctic be the Next 'Saudi Arabia'? -New Discoveries Show 400 Billion Barrels of Oil May be Trapped Below

Saudi Arabia's Ghawar, the biggest conventional oil field in the world, has been estimated to contain about 170 billion barrels of oil. Just when we thought that diminishing oil supplies would spur rapid transition to solar and wind power and other non-fossil sources, the Las Vegas-based Arctic Oil & Gas has announced that new geological data on the Arctic Ocean suggests the possible presence of 400 billion barrels of oil.
Arctic Oil & Gas cites recent scientific evidence that huge, floating mats of azolla - a prehistoric fern believed to have covered much of the Arctic Ocean during a planetary hothouse era about 55 million years ago - decomposed soon after the age of the dinosaurs and exist today as "vast hydrocarbon resources" trapped in layers of rock below the polar ice cap.
This possible new Arctic finding undeerscores the battle lines of future conflict between nations that are emerging along the fault lines of the polar ice caps of our planet. An international race for oil, fish, diamonds and shipping routes, is being accelerated by the impact of global warming on Earth's frozen north.
The latest report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says, as we know, that the ice cap is warming faster than the rest of the planet and ice is receding. It's a catastrophic scenario for the Arctic ecosystem, for polar bears and other wildlife, and for indigenous populations like the Inuit and the Sami whose ancient cultures depend on frozen waters.
The U.S. Geological Survey estimates the Arctic has as much as 25 per cent of the world's undiscovered oil and gas. Moscow reportedly sees the potential of minerals in its slice of the Arctic sector approaching $2 trillion. Major petroleum companies are now focusing research and exploration on the far north. Russia is developing the vast Shkotman natural gas field off its Arctic coast.
The melting ice cap could open the North Pole region to easy navigation for five months a year, according to the latest Arctic Climate Impact Assessment, revolutionizing shipping the way the Suez Canal did in the 20th Century. Up until recently, reports said it would take 100 years for the ice to melt, but new studies say it could happen in 10-15 years, and the United States, Canada, Russia, Denmark and Norway have been rushing to stake their claims in the Arctic.
In 2004, Russian President Vladimir Putin called the sovereignty issue "a serious, competitive battle" that "will unfold more and more fiercely."

Saudis Extradite Blogger to Yemen

Yemen hands over terrorists; Saudi Arabia gives back a blogger. He was writing on the Southern forums. They will probably charge him, if they ever charge him, with treason or undermining the state or something. Sahwa Net – Saudi authorities have extradited the blogger Abdul-Fattah Al-Shanfra who was arrested last June in Tabook, according to sources close to Al-Shanfra.

Buhay Saudi "ang akala nila"

Akala ng mga tao na nasa Pilipinas na kapag nasa Saudi ka marami ka ng pera. Ang totoo, marami kang utang, dahil credit card lahat ang gamit mo sa pagbili ng mga gamit mo. Kailangan mo gumamit ng credit card kasi naubus na ang cash dahil pinadala na sa Pinas. Pag hindi ka kasi nagpadala iisipin nila nakalimutan mo na sila.
Akala nila mayaman ka at marami kang pera kasi buwan-buwan libo-libo padala mo walang palya, at kapag pumalya iisipin nila baka nagbisyo ka na o may sinusustentuhang iba. Hindi nila alam food allowance na lang ang natitira sa'yo at pag kinulang pa umuutang pa at lista muna sa malapit na bakala.
Pag may okasyon sa Pinas - birthday, fiesta, anniversary, pasko, new year, at iba pa, padala ka agad panghanda. Ang sarap ng kainan nila. Di nila alam ikaw ay nagtitiyaga sa budget meal, kabsa, noodles o de lata at itlog na nakakabutlig na ng balat, hay naku!
Akala ni Tatay, Nanay, Ate, Kuya, anak, mga pamangkin at iba pa na namumulot ka ng pera sa Saudi. Kada may problema, text kaagad. Kumusta sa una pero sa bandang huli kelangan ng ng pera.. Hay naku! Nakaka-alergic na ang text sa roaming - puro gastos. At minsan padala ka pa ng load! Load mo nga, utang pa kay Pana. Hay naku! Bakit ba nauso pa yan, dagdag gastos lang talaga at pag di ka pa nag-reply, aawayin ka pa!
Akala nila masarap maging OFW at tinatawag na bagong bayani. Naku mas masarap pa yong nasa Pinas na sa katas ni bagong bayani ay syang umaani! Utang sa Saudi ay lalong dumarami.
Akala nila masarap sa Saudi. Di nila alam di ka na nga makauwi kasi round-trip tiket kina-cash mo para mapadala lang at ibayad sa utang.
Akala nila sosyal ka na dahil de kulay na ang buhok mo, uso pa at naka-highlight pa, Di nila alam buhok mo namumuti na sa stress at problema. At pag minalas pa, nalalagas pa!
Akala nila masarap sa Saudi kasi pag-uwi mo mestiso ka, maputi at mamula-mula ang balat mo. Dii nila alam babad ka sa opisina at kulong sa bahay mo dahil no choice ka. Mga kapitbahay mo di mo kaano-ano. Walang paki-alaman at kung lalabas ka sunog ang balat mo. Init ng araw sobra!
Akala nila mayaman ka na kase may kotse ka na. Di nila alam hulugan pa ito! Ang totoo, kapag hindi ka bumili ng kotse sa Saudi, maglalakad ka ng milya-milya sa ilalim ng init ng araw o kaya sa winter na kasama ang asawa mong naka-abaya at naka-tarha. O kaya naman, magtiyaga kang mag-abang ng Saptco o Coaster na ubod ng babaho ng mga pasahero at pagbaba mo amoy putok ka na rin, grabe! Walang jeepney, tricycle o padyak sa Saudi. Maraming mga Pakistani, Bangladesh na driver na ubod ng baho. Pag minalas ka, Arabo na taxi driver na rapist pa ang masasakyan mo.
Akala nila masarap ang buhay dito sa Saudi. Ang totoo, puro ka trabaho kase pag di ka nagtrabaho, terminated ka gagawan ka pa ng kwento ng kapwa mo Pilipino! Hindi ka na pwedeng tumambay sa kapitbahay kase baka ma-mutawa ka pag kasama mo ang syota mo. Pero marami pa ring matatalinong matsing ang nakakalusot. Nagpapagawa ng fake na papel para kunwari kasal. Mga imoral!
Akala nila masaya ka kase nagpadala ka ng picture mo sa Red Sand, Hidden Valley, Faisaliah Mall, Riyadh Zoo, Corniche,Obhur at iba pang attractions. Ang totoo, kailangan mo ngumiti kase minsan minsan ka lang makaka-picture. Bawal kasi basta-basta kumuha ng picture dito. Makukulong ka.
Akala nila malaki na ang kinikita mo kase riyal na sweldo mo. Ang totoo, medyo malaki pagpinalit mo ng peso. Pero riyal din ang gastos mo sa Saudi. Ibig sabihin, ang riyal mong kinita sa presyong riyal mo rin gagastusin. Ang P15.00 na sardinas sa Pilipinas, SAR3.00 sa Saudi. Alangan namang puro cafeteria food ang kakainin mo. Aba , mamatay ka sa highblood o hepa nyan kasi nga umaapaw na sa mantika, marumi pa! Kadiri! Kaya lang pag naubusan ka ng pera, no choice ka. You have to take the risk .
Akala nila buhay milyonaryo ka na kase ang ganda ng bahay at kotse mo. Nag pa-lypo kay Calayan at nagpa-retoke kay Vicky Belo. Ang totoo, nag loan ka lang sa SABB , SAMBA o Riyadh Bank na huhulugan mo ng limang taon. Ibig sabihin, alipin ka ng bahay at kotse mo at ng luho mo at ng bansang ito. Kasi nga mag-loan ka ba naman dahil sa luho.
Madaming naghahangad na makarating sa Saudi. Lalo na mga nurses at mga medsec. At eto pa, pati cleaners mahirap maging normal na manggagawa sa Pilipinas. Madalas pagod ka sa trabaho. Pag dating ng sweldo mo, kulang pa sa pagkain mo. Pero ganun din sa ibang bansa. Lalo na kaya sa Saudi, wala kang outlet ng stress mo kasi madaming bawal.
Hindi ibig sabihin riyal na ang sweldo mo, yayaman ka na. Kailangan mo ring magbanat ng buto para mabuhay ka sa ibang bansa.
Isang malaking sakripisyo ang pag alis mo sa bansang pinag-silangan at malungkot iwanan ang mga mahal mo sa buhay. Hindi pinupulot ang pera dito o pinipitas o iniigib. Hindi ako naninira ng pangarap. Gusto ko lang buksan ang bintana ng katotohanan.
Mahirap mangibang bayan. Sino ba ang may kasalanan na iwan ang sariling bayan? Manilbihan sa dayuhan at malayo sa pamilya ay may kahirapan. Hangga't may pinay DH na nangingibang bayan na simbolbolo ng ating kahirapan, kawawang bayan ni Juan patuloy na mapag-iiwanan. "Kaya Juan iwan ka ng pera para sayo, para sa kinabukasan mo"....
KAPIT-BISIG sa PAGKAKAISA at PAGTUTULUNGAN “God put us in the deep level of brokenness and pain so that we must learn to humble ourselves before HIM and find total dependence only to HIM …after that… we can walk in the new level of growth and maturity…to be a better person again.'

Goats fetch thousands at Riyadh ‘beauty contest’

RIYADH – First it was camels. Now Saudi Arabia has held its first “beautiful goat” pageant. Owners of pedigree “Najdi” goats from around the Gulf region converged on Riyadh this week, hoping to win the prize for top male and female goat, following in the footsteps of lucrative camel competitions which have taken off in recent years.“The Najdi goat is a pure national product like nothing else in the world,” said Sheikh Faisal Al-Saadoun, a leading Saudi breeder who organized the show. “They are different in terms of beauty, shape and how eye-catching they are.”The goats are named after the central Najd region of Saudi Arabia, where the goats have a distinctive high nose bridge and shaggy hair with a fine, silky quality.They were given a thorough shampoo for the show, according to the official website (wwwl.al-nawader.com) which displayed the winners.Most of the goats in the competition were bred from one star goat, Burgan (Volcano), from Saadoun’s stable and have been exported around the Gulf in trade worth millions of riyals.Burgan was not on display at the show as the owners fear he could be afflicted by the “evil eye”. But that did not stop offers from the Qatari royal family to buy him, the compere told the gathering.Saadoun sold dozens of goats from his stable for at least SR100,000 each at the show, adding to some SR8 million he has made over the years breeding from Burgan.“This male goat is different. He is historic and he has contributed to developing the Najdi goat,” he told Reuters, as poets recited odes in praise of the goats over loud speakers.The winner in the male category was a son of Burgan with a value of SR450,000.The gathering at a ranch outside Riyadh gave breeders a chance to trade but Abu Ahmed, a breeder from the United Arab Emirates, was disappointed that Saadoun did not take his offer of SR350,000 for one son of Burgan.“I wanted to develop the breed from the point it has got to,” he said. However, camels remain the pride of the Bedouins.Delicate females or strapping males can sell for more than a million riyals and camel-racing is popular throughout the Gulf. – Reuters
