Brother AbuFatimah,

Statistics on wikipedia and 'economic reports' mean nothing when the ground realities are different.

I just want to point out two things and i take a leave as this discussion is never ending..

1) If saudi economic is roaring, universities are doing great break thrus and theres no shortage of funds, then why are professional, hardworking, genius, qualified 'EXPAT' professors, lecturers, technicians kicked out of saudi universities every year esp this year so that saudis can get jobs and replace them with double salaries and do half the work? And keep in mind that most of these breakthrus and researches are done by expats but the name in the journals are of saudis.

2) recently there wad a report on arabnews that around 300,000 saudis got jobs and this saudiazation is a big success. Now if we go by your logic of trusting the reports, then we would sit and applaud. But if you are on the ground and go and ask any saudi if this is true then he will show you the real picture!

Please do some ground research about this matter of saudis getting jobs. I would like to see the results of your research insha'Allah.

And yes sorry, its not just govt taxes and fees, they earn billions from umrah and hajj also
