"Well done"
The government is not asked to do more than monitor what its citizens write in local newspapers—a request we frequently reiterate because it contains observations that serve the national interest and the well-being of the people. It is the easiest task for the government to implement, given its workforce and zero additional cost, allowing it to avoid criticism, address its shortcomings, and pay attention to neglected areas such as agriculture, municipal services, and public works, while safeguarding citizens’ lives from stray dogs (may God grant you honor). We have been calling for their eradication for years without any resolution from either the municipality or the agriculture authorities, which are the responsible entities, until the axe fell on its own head after one citizen was mauled to death, may God have mercy on him. Praise be to God; the solution that the government failed to find over the past years was found within a day after the incident. This is a habit of past and future governments: they do not find solutions until a misfortune or disaster strikes (may God protect us from them), far from applying the principle that “prevention is better than cure.”

- Patience: Do not sever the ties with your children, for a promise is a covenant, especially when it comes from the Government of Kuwait, which is always committed to international and Arab decisions and treaties abroad. How can it break its promise and jeopardize the future of its children domestically? As for the arbitrary transfer of male and female teachers, although the government has the right to make the decision it deems appropriate, I criticize its haste in issuing decisions without considering the potential adverse reactions. When we criticize the government, it is because we are part of it, and this is merely an effort that may succeed or fail; ultimately, we all seek the best outcome for the benefit of all parties. Therefore, I propose that it restore matters to their proper course at the beginning of the academic year, allowing the Ministry sufficient time to study the transfers while taking into account the circumstances of some families, such as their housing and their children’s schools.

- Changing Manners: There must be a reason or reasons that have altered some people’s manners and tastes. What could they be, one wonders? Do we find the answer among psychiatrists, or are the causes linked to the development of social media platforms, which has led to openness to the world with its diverse societies and differing customs and traditions, thereby causing a decline in human moral standards as well as in artistic, musical, theatrical, and cinematic quality, which have become devoid of purpose and substance, focusing solely on material gain. Conversely, the increasing number of viewers and listeners indicates, unfortunately, a decline in public taste.

Honor remains, while companionship is a matter of compatibility. O fortunate one, if I were to choose among all creation, I would choose you, O you of sound intentions.

O God, protect Kuwait, its people, and its leadership from all evil and harm.
