Health insurance ‘Afya’
Kuwait passed a health insurance law for pensioners, most of whom are elderly. This marked a significant achievement, offering the elderly general health services and access to private sector care. The program, called “Afya” (meaning “Well-Being”), gave these pensioners much-needed support. However, this benefit was later revoked, leaving pensioners vulnerable once again.As experienced individuals, the pensioners organized and formed a...

Neutrality is the key to justice
A law professor asked his students about the most important trait a judge must possess. Each student responded with what they believed to be the most crucial trait: Some said wisdom, others knowledge, and a third group chose credibility. However, only one student gave the answer the professor sought — she said, “neutrality.” Neutrality is not just a crown that every judge must wear; it’s a quality that people must believe in and strive to...

Challenges and political stability
Most of our Arab countries are going through political instability. Instability may take several forms, including popular violence, political assassinations, revolutions, change in governments, or ousting them, and usually instability shakes the confidence in the establishment’s framework. This leads to uncertainty in economic policies, and this uncertainty pushes many governments to adopt short-term economic policies with the aim of gaining...

The shortest way to fail
When I was 14, my Arabic language teacher, who was an exceptional educator, convinced me to participate in the short story contest. I used to love this type of literature and love to read always, so I wrote on both sides of a paper I tore from a booklet. The paper had on its cover the picture of Kuwait Amir, the father of its constitution, Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem (May Allah bestow His mercy on him). My handwriting was not good, and if it were...

Oh, how much we love the Blue Bird!
The “Blue Bird” is the symbol of Kuwait Airways. Bad establishments can bear the name of Kuwait and bring a bad image for the country, just like the cases in other Arab nations, but the influence will never be like that of Blue Bird which is a reflection of our homeland and a direction for us. Kuwait Airways has been subjected to many attacks, few of them are justified, and many had other intentions. Some of the attacks were meant for the...

2 images mar the beauty of Kuwait
Two images stand out, marring the beauty of the country. The first concerns an initiative launched by Sabah Al-Ahmad Maritime City in Khairan. Although this initiative had the potential to become a shining example for Kuwait, it fell short - a common issue in our country. Personal interests and private connections often take precedence over the nation’s well-being. As a result, the initiative was incomplete - it focused only on infrastructure...

Violations of world order between Iran and Zionist entity
There were many important events in history that many people do not read that still cast shadows over our world today. Some of them are the 30 years of war that took place just before the end of the middle ages between France and Spain (1618-1648). This war, away from its causes and details, ended with the peace treaty known as the peace treaty of Westphalia. This treaty regulated relations between rival countries at that time and established the...

Olympics: A disgrace
The Paris 2024 Olympics kicked off last week and this significant sports event will continue until Aug 11. For the first time in Olympic history, the opening ceremony received a substantial amount of criticism. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticized the West in general (and not only the French) for recreating a Da Vinci scenario during the Olympics opening ceremony, stating that “there are no morals” in the Western world. “This is...

Opportunity is before us
Reform principles are based on the rules of criticism. There is no perfect city, so active people adopt the rules of criticism and improvement, but people who are less active resort to insult and defamation. There is a fundamental difference between nations in the Renaissance era and nations in the pre-Renaissance era. Human beings will continue to develop in either way.In the 16th century, scientists of the European Renaissance reformed the...

Labor and exploitation
It is time to establish a government company for home maintenance. The Kuwait’s public is complaining about the maintenance costs, and this complaint is now common. They don’t have many choices as the prices vary. If an air condition breaks down during this scorching heat, technicians charge so much money for repairs and maintenance. The costs of fixing household items, electric systems, damaged floors, etc are soaring higher.Some cooperative...

Wishes for the year 1446 AH
If we let our minds think critically about what we hear, most rumors spread for various reasons, especially on social media, would disappear. Always make good use of your brains. If optimism prevailed in our hearts, the flame of rage that drives some people to incessantly criticize and insult Kuwait as if it were a failed country would subside. True failure lies within them.If every employee complied with their job description and performed with...

Aversive racism: European and US experience
Aversive racism is a term that indicates a hidden form of racism and discrimination. This type of racism appears subconsciously in people who pretend to be tolerant. This term appeared first in 1986, following a field survey by two American researchers. Later, this term was published in US, and the focus on this type of subconscious intolerance increased when an article about it was published in the widely circulated New York Times by Nicholas...
