RIYADH: Police arrested three men and seized a number of items used to forge government documents at a photocopy shop in the Malaz district of Riyadh.
The three men — two Arabs and an expatriate — were involved in forging iqamas, driving licenses, car registration certificates, health certificates and other government documents.
The new payment methods follow the introduction of a new system that has been developed by the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Finance.
Imagine you have a road accident in which you hit a tree on the sidewalk. You would be fined SR5,000 whereas if the opposite happened in that the tree fell on your car, you would not get anything.
JEDDAH: A youth symposium organized here recently by the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY) has called for abolishing the sponsorship (kafeel) system in Saudi Arabia and to allow anyone born in the country to be given Saudi nationality.
“The sponsorship system has a number of loopholes that have not observed either the rights of the government or the foreign workers,” said Hussain Sharif, a human rights activist and a lawyer.
Sharif reiterated that public education is a universal human right, but proof of legal residence and/or citizenship by parents is required for the children to be enrolled. Sharif says loosening the rules to grant citizenship to any child born in the Kingdom would help resolve this issue. “By the power of law, every child born in the Kingdom must have the right to obtain Saudi nationality,” he said.
