‘Kuwait approves wider roll out of hospital segregation“

Great! Just what we needed in Kuwait now – more racism. If public hospitals won’t treat foreign patients during the day other than for emergencies, I wonder what the low-income foreigners would do if they had a ‘normal’ illness. Wait till the sun sets so they can get medical help? 394185_10150621993486748_607981747_9233336_1426113351_n

I can’t believe such discrimination is taking place in the 21st century . Why the country is silent about it is beyond belief. I have many Kuwaiti friends who put others well-being before them and even they had nothing to say about this matter.

I am not sure if the Emir is doing so to get the public support and avoid a rally or ousting of power like those seen before in Bahrain and Qatar or whether this is a message to expatriates that they are no longer welcome to the country.

Whatever reason it is they are trying to prove, the bitter truth is that expatriates are the nervous system of the kingdom. The only reason why the country is flourishing is because expatriate labor force worked hard for the current success.

Kuwait may achieve self-sustenance in a another 50 years, but definitely not now. The country has a long way to go to achieve its economic goal before wiping away the foreign footprints and being ungrateful for the third world laborers.
