Saudi women gear up for new freedom as driving ban ends

[lastofthepatriots]

Not for simply taking photos or filming videos of women driving. Otherwise the existing videos and photos would not have been published.

Heavy Punishment: Mohammad Al-Rabigh, a legal advisor in the Kingdom said anyone who will ridicule women driving or turn it into a material of grooming and humor through social media will be punished according to the rules and regulations because this type of activity is an abuse of the state system.

He explained that the punishment for such act of ridiculing driving women or photographing them and turning their event into a humor include imprisonment and heavy fines.


The system of cyber-crimes punishes anyone who produces or publishes any harm to the public orders, religious values or anyone’s private life. The violator will be punished by imposing fines up to 3 million Saudi Riyals and up to 5 years’ imprisonment.
​

There won't be any problems whatsoever. The majority of the public have always been against this 35-40 year old moronic "law" for ages.

If anything women on the roads will improve the road safety (contrary to popular belief), the enormous economic benefits are well-known and better the huge number of foreign drivers won't be needed. Thus millions of families will not waste money on such a stupidity. Additional jobs being created as well.

There is literally no negative about this law.

That's gay, because women are generally bad drivers.

For the last 600 years, Arabs have been ruled by Turks. Much of the food, dress, customs, culture, architecture, and religious ideas of modern Arabs are from Turks and Persians. You are heavily influenced by Non-Arab Muslim empires.

We owe respect to those who have taught wisdom and justice, regardless if they are Arab, Persian, Turkish, Pakistani, or anything else.

The Islamic outlook is based on unity, not division like Arab supremacists want. Creating civil wars in Arab countries for what? Destroying civil society, supporting extremist groups.

We see just how fit MBS and his Zionist ilk are.

Don’t be jealous of Erdogan who made Turkey into an economic power and still has love for Palestinians, Rohingya, Somalians, Syrians, all of which KSA abandoned because of an ailing alliance with Trump US.

LOL. Less than 400 years and not even 1/3 of the Arab world. Local rulers ruled on behalf of the Sultan (an Arab monarchic title and Ottomans themselves were heavily Arabized - Ottoman Turkish was more Arabic than Turkish for instance and tons of other examples that I could give if I bothered to pick your nonsense apart)

It's the other way around. Arabs influenced non-Arabs in the Muslim world many times more than the opposite.

What are those imaginary influences?

Just a troll. Not going to bother further.

Now claiming that despite most Islamic scholars, scientists etc. being Arab, they were Turkish, lol. What a joke. Not even a single educated Turk would agree. Genuine Turkic scholars can be counted on 1 hand. Arabs on 20 hands or more. That's well-known scientists alone during the same Islamic Golden Age that Arab ruled and contributed the most too. Let alone Islamic scholars.

Get lost Arab-obsessed and inferiority ridden troll. You are quite some joke.

That's gay, because women are generally bad drivers.

No. Women are better drivers in the Middle East. No negatives about this law. Great, great decision and 35 years too late.

That is what a lot of people think , but comprehensive statistics say otherwise.. very surprising.. I don't know about India..but just the West at large..

You are replying to a troll (Pan-Islamic Pakistan) brother. Just take a look at the nonsense and ignorant venom that this self-proclaimed Islamist is spreading in public here and in Arab-related threads. I can feel the inferiority complexes all the way here across the Atlantic. Yet he claims that he cares deeply about Arabs. Some people on this forum are mentally ill.

Women are involved in fewer incidents and traffic in the Middle East is horrible and most of the accidents are caused by men. Obviously this will improve traffic safety on the long run without a doubt.

Anyone that claims otherwise is not familiar with traffic in the Arab world/MENA/most of Asia. Even in the West more men are involved in traffic incidents (drunk driving etc.) than women. By a considerable margin.

I am not a feminist but I believe in women getting rights that they deserve and should have naturally. There is no negatives about this law at all. From a social, religious, economic etc. perspective. Zero. If people are against this decision, I suggest that they should try to convince their compatriots of the stupidity in letting women drive. We had a minority of idiotic hardliners who fought so and instead families were wasting money on importing drivers from God knows where (third world countries where harassing and raping women in public is a daily occurrence) who harassed many local women and the entire law impacted the mobility of women heavily which had enormous negative consequences on increasing the woman workforce in KSA.

I can choose to personally insult you but will refrain due to my religion of Islam.

Why should I, a descendant of Mughal emperors and Turkish-Persian sultans, have any inferiority complex to you?

What I find distasteful is your constant abuse of Pakistanis, over and over, on this Pakistani forum. Claiming that our IQ is lower, we are stupid and foolish, and not able to use our minds.

You are a guest on a Pakistani website, please act like it.

Plenty of Arabs agree with me. Racist Arab supremacy is a disease of Jahiliyyat which the Prophet warned us about very sternly in his Khutbat ul Wida “No Arab is superior to a Non-Arab, and vice versa.”

When the Prophet warned us that Arab females will dance again to Al-Lat and Al-Uzza (pagan Arab idols of Quraish,) this is what he was referring to.

Respect the Turks and Persians for everything they have given you the honor and pride which you have today.

This is exactly the kind of historical revisionism and ethnic supremacy which we should resist. It is the destruction of Arabs.

Yemen, Syria, and Libya are fractured mini-states because every person believes he is superior to his brother.

All playing into the hands of Israel, who is the real enemy of Arabs and Muslims worldwide.

First of all the chance of you being that is as realistic as all the millions of self-proclaimed Arab descendants in Pakistan all being genuine.

Anyway what is there exactly to be proud of being of Mongol paternal heritage? You know the same savages that destroyed the Islamic Golden Age by burning down Baghdad and before that killing millions in Central Asia and modern-day Iran, destroying almost everything in their sight.

No abuse at all. I am merely replying to insults against Arabs in the same fashion and I don't care who makes them. You don't ever see me insulting users or peoples out of nowhere here. If you don't want Arabs to reply, you should control your compatriots better. This way nobody will target (reply) to anyone or anything.

Where is this "Arab supremacy" in this thread or anywhere else? It's your mind imaging things again.

They have hardly given us anything. We gave them far, far more. Whether in Islamic or pre-Islamic history. If anyone should be grateful, it's the other way around. Every historian will tell you that.

Listen, you do not have a "patent" for who is the "right Muslim" or who is not. We already saw you in action here. You are talking about treason to Palestinian (non-existent) while praising the biggest Muslim hypocrite leader (Erdogan) in the region.





You try to play the "Pan-Islamic" card but you are dishonest. Thus it cannot be taken seriously. If you were honest you would say that nobody in the Islamic world does enough for Palestine, Rohingya, Kashmir or anywhere else. That I would have agreed with. However no, you want to pursue your own agenda here of blaming Arabs for all your ills. When countered with facts, you start trolling.

It is always difficult to fully measure something like this but it is for sure a huge economic boost.

The progress in the past few years (ever since MbS came around) coincided with the historic low oil prices. Some users here might remember how I "celebrated" the historic low oil prices a few years ago. I knew that it would be a somewhat painful experience on the short run but that the benefits would be enormous on the long run. Why? Because those historically low oil prices forced the regime to reevaluate their social contract with the people. The pampered welfare state that relied (far too much and ever since the oil boom in the 1970's) on foreign workforce (often when not needed at all), which had developed an absurd and foreign culture and a abysmal work rate (due to the pampered welfare state and affording to outsource all the jobs that locals did not want to do in general) combined with the Sahwa disease since the 1970's, and you had a toxic mix which had and has nothing to do with genuine Saudi Arabian (Arabia, Arab, Muslim etc.) culture or society.

Now slowly but surely normality is returning. So thank God for the low oil prices. It gave rise to all the necessary changes that have been ongoing and which will continue (you cannot turn back the tape now) for the betterment of KSA and the people. It also gave rise to a young, bold and ambitious person, MbS, who could otherwise have enjoyed life in California or the French Rivera and not given two ***** about the country.

I am a very happy person right now because I predicted this years ago when some trolls here and elsewhere were quick to write KSA off completely and spread doom and gloom. Unfortunately for those people they were/are not familiar with Saudi Arabians, KSA as country or the dynamics within the country.

Saudi women driving set to boost economy more than Aramco IPO
Allowing Saudi women to drive could add as much as $90 billion to economic output by 2030

Allowing Saudi women to drive could help the kingdom reap as much income as selling shares in Saudi Aramco.

The move, which went into effect on Sunday, could add as much as $90 billion to economic output by 2030, with the benefits extending beyond that date, according to Bloomberg Economics.

Selling as much as 5 percent stake in Saudi Arabian Oil Co. - at the most optimistic valuation - could generate about $100 billion.


Saudi Arabia ended its status as the last country on earth to prohibit women from taking to the wheel.

A handful of women drove through the still-packed streets of the capital early Sunday while others drove in convoys around Riyadh neighbourhoods in celebration of the ban’s end. The decision would enable women to work without having to incur the cost of a driver or taxis.

“Lifting the ban on driving is likely to increase the number of women seeking jobs, boosting the size of the workforce and lifting overall incomes and output,” according to Ziad Daoud, Dubai-based chief Middle East economist for Bloomberg Economics.

“But it’ll take time before these gains are realised as the economy adapts to absorbing growing number of women seeking work.”

Ending the ban is one of the most socially-consequential reforms implemented by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. It’s also a key part of his plan to veer the economy from its reliance on oil.

“The participation of women in Saudi Arabia’s labour market is poor. With less than 25% of females in Saudi Arabia economically active, the country even lags behind its neighbours in the Gulf, where participation averaged 42% in 2016,” said Daoud.

“Recognising this, the Saudi administration made raising the female participation rate one of its main targets in the National Vision 2030 program, designed to modernise Saudi society.”

Adding 1 percentage point to the Saudi participation rate every year might add about 70,000 more women a year to the labour market, according to Daoud.

The larger participation of women will lift potential economic growth by as much as 0.9 percentage points a year, “depending on the proportion that chooses to work full or part-time,” he said.

Having been a lifelong observer of women drivers, I can safely say that the Saudis were on to a good thing.

Pity they buckled to political correctness in an effort to look modern and progressive.

Cheers, Doc

Having millions of cheap house drivers from India , Pakistan, Nepal is no good thing for a country..

1. More women in the work force, means less available local pool of workers and less foreign workers. Saudi business have always complained of high wages demanded by Saudis and available jobs being low paid, women will easily opt to work for less paid jobs..
2. Less house drivers at homes....
3. Less women sitting idle at home means less family quarrels with inlaws, less baby booming..which is bad for resource strained country like KSA.
4. More disposeable income to invest in assets building.
5. Kids under 24/7 mommy supervision then to grow up weak and timid...women sitting at home is bad for future generations..

@somebozo is your compatriot (Pakistani) not an Saudi Arabian or Arab. Secondly I did not insult anyone but replied to an unmotivated insult by 2 of your compatriots aimed at 30 million Saudi Arabians and 500 million Arabs.

Someone named Pan-Islamic-Pakistan is not worth spending time on and has not come out of the failed generation of 1970's when a defeated state broken in two propelled a new state identity by promoting Pan Islamist empire...it bought itself into sphere of influence of scum like Ghaddafi, Saddam and Hafiz Al Assad..and paid dearly by terrorist activities sponsored by these three stooges..but many Pakistanis still live in delusions..

I don't share anything with you other than religion. We don't share the same worldview, the same ethnicity, the same culture, the same language etc. You want to subject Arabs as well. My priority is my country and the Arab world and after that the Muslim world (if you fix your own house you can help fix houses that are not yours if ALLOWED to). You look favorable at anti-Arab and hostile regimes such as the Iranian regime.

The Persians set a history of cruelty and savagery when they occupied Sindh..

Why should I, a descendant of Mughal emperors and Turkish-Persian sultans, have any inferiority complex to you?

This exactly is an inferiority complex..deriving pride from something so distant in past that it cannot be proved..and you are not alone as such delusion affect the entire population in Pakistan...Syeedis, Abassis, Qureshis, they all have some very distant history to feel pride..

A pan-islamist with pride for his lineage shouldn't be sitting in USA to begin with..thats not your natural home..your should either be in Pakistan or Arabia!

My friend, you are totally spot on with everything that you have written, expect for KSA being a resource strained country. Rather the contrary. KSA is one of the richest countries on the planet when it comes hydrocarbons (oil, gas etc.) minerals (once again one of the richest countries in the world on that front), landmass (think renewables here in the future - a small area of KSA could power the entire world with solar power alone, let alone wind power etc.). The only thing that KSA is lacking is water but with a 3000 km long coastline on both sides of the country and the most sophisticated seawater desalination plants in the world, this is covered as well. Not to mention that KSA retains huge aquifers and underground water. Whenever just a little rain falls in KSA, due to the sheer size of the land mass of KSA, millions upon millions of liter of water reaches the surface. Better techniques to collect it must be focused on which is a work in process but much more needs to be done.

As for the fertility rate, it's rather healthy. 2.5 or something nowadays on average which is a very healthy fertility rate.


Not that Arabs (second largest ethnic group in the world after the Han Chinese) need more people!

KSA does not have abundance in resources necessary for human survival..such as fertile land, fresh water, moderate climate etc.. Therefore it should not follow a policy like Pakistan and create a population boost of backward , illiterate and unskilled workforce.. building a highly productive population will boost KSA revenues which are necessary for its import dependency and will provide high standards of living for its citizens.

Look at what has become of Pakistan, years of religious indoctrination and population boost on the propaganda of "Allah will provide" has bought the country to disaster and destroyed it natural resources..the country is over strained and under nourished despite being a fertile land with massive agriculture production.

 

[Numerous]

instead families were wasting money on importing drivers from God knows where (third world countries where harassing and raping women in public is a daily occurrence) who harassed many local women...

Lol, did you just imply many/most third world men to be heavily into public rape and harassment?

I don't care about this whole driving thing but you need to watch what you type.

Some Saudi men make sexual advances unto their female *third world* house maids, there was a even a wife who secretly recorded her husband harassing the maid. Some Saudis beat and torture their *third world* servants. Some Saudis make fun of the poverty of their *third world* servants. In the past some *third world* countries even banned from their banned their women from going to gulf because there were plenty of cases of those women being abused and exploited.

So stop talking about third world countries like dirt because your country isn't exactly all love and kisses either.
