A think that's what we are doing here continuously.

Nothing to add to the info you passed. I actually took part in the poll.

Infact i have also seen that in hospital they don't treat non-Kuwaiti in a proper way. In some cases they refuse to take the patient telling that your medical center is somewhere else (In government hospital)

I am laughing at the obtuseness of various MPs and government officials who keep touting their "treaties for expats" and the fact that "3/4 of the population of Kuwait is expats" without taking into account that Kuwaitis force expats to live by Kuwaiti norms; blame expats for crime - while there are more Kuwaitis wanted for crimes than expats (remember that 3/4 number?); that an expat caught without a driving license is deported; that because of their inability to plan financially every proposal to add to their government coffers means that expats foot the bill; proposed increase in electricity rates, proposed tax on remittances, proposed increase in water rates and of course the most recent rise in fuel rates.

I am always amazed how poorly the mirrors work in Kuwait.

Thinking of coalition forces who died to free this country... doesn't seem the effort was much appreciated.

Hmm, what to say not that much. I think what makes it more uncomfort is the persuasion of religious ethics in which they deliberately turns it into racist. If this country can't accept global rights then why do they open up global business. I think the king and it government do all their best to ensure the safety of expat in this country but the citizens are unwilling to share equality with expat. They say the law is trended to ease up expat burden but what is the use if they do not practice or abide to the law. Futher more the law is 92% in favour to Kuwaitis and even no way to enforce the law into practice. I hope one day the loving sun will shine fairly onto us exparts in Kuwait. This is just my point of view and thanks for the topic.
