Doha's Bach ban causes more confusion
By paranoid87 •
DOHA’S bachelor ban has caused confusion among the expatriate community, many of whom cannot understand why their movements are being restricted or where the rule is being enforced.
Yesterday, Gulf Times took two reporters and five malls and put the ‘policy’ to the test. Reporter SARMAD QAZI attempted to enter popular centres posing as a labourer and again dressed as a white collar worker. England-born reporter PETER TOWNSON visited the same outlets.

but unfortunately, as of now, no clear indication that the ban will stop. They are seeing things in different (weird) ways.
To them (the management of these malls), even without the bachelors (observation was perfect, only asian bachelors not arabs), their malls will survived on Family days and anyone can see it, the malls were also jumpacked on these days.
Mind you, they are also thinking of the economics of it, but whether they are ban on Fridays or other family days, these bachelors will still find a way to go there on ordinary days and the spending will just continue.
My suggestion is, we run a crusade and encouraged all expats (whether bachelor or not)to boycott ONE SPECIFIC MALL SO THEY COULD FEEL THE ECONOMICS OF THIS BAN. But it should be a common single mall (just to feel the heat).

Bring the managemnt of these malls in front of the media.. let them explain.
Call up a pressmeeting with them.
So, having done so... aren't they gonna do something about it?
Guess not.
knew the outcome of this investigation before it happened, sadly
Investigative Journalism that too in Qatar. It gets exciting day by day... Go ahead
"people wearing open-sandals with weird coloured check-shirts."
Well thats nearly the entire Asian community here in Bahrain then.....
"However, it seemed to be predominantly Asian bachelors who were being stopped, as many single Arab men were allowed entry"
No suprises there then.....
