Move on..


Fascinating how I am reading increasingly more articles which state that segregation stems from a cultural need, and there are no religious grounds for it. Just fascinating.
Mr. Almuttar, a student in the Faculty of Political Sciences; spends 2/3's of his articles citing research proving that segregation increases students' schooling potential. He raves on saying that since the US and Bush are advocating segregation, then it must be the way forward. Puzzling that those Kuwaitis who exemplify the US when convenient, are the same who justify the actions of terrorism. They are just the same people who said that women should not have their political rights, but once women were granted; they rushed to preach that voting is a religious and Godly duty.

On a much brighter note:
Kuwait Public Transport Company (KPTC), Ministry of interior and the Ministry of Education have started a new initiative in an attempt to tackle the ever worsening traffic congestion problem. They created the mottamen campaign which aims at transporting students from their homes to school and back via specially designated air-conditioned buses. The vehicles operate from September to June. Apparently, they have cut down on the traffic problem in Romaithiya by 70%. Bit by bit, they will expand the project so that eventually they cover all of Kuwait. I hope our proud, golden-spoon-fed and eccentric Kuwaiti bright students along with their parents will show full participation.

I say..way to go Kuwait, I hope you keep it up.
