one thing you want to change in Qatar..
if you were asked about that one thing that you want to change in the society you are living, what will you say?
I know we are all from different countries, but are tied by a single thread 'residents of Qatar'. And one go to make a point, legitimate one, whe you see something wrong. So, what is that one thing you want to change in Qatar?
...
Respect & Attitude between the host & guest
agreed!!
--------------------------------------
Thanks Qatar!!
seriously the climate really ruins my mood and makes doha look like a ghost town during the day
the horrible climate
Throw out all the expats who don't like Qatar.
that could and should be changed in Qatar, but that could be said about all countries.
I will hoist that up the flag pole and see who salutes it!!
Abolish slavery, also known as sponsorship...
...exploitation of many of the workers, and that "this is better than what they can get in their own countries" doesn't justify the abuse.
(Sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes you're the bug...)
with one thread i answered a while back,make it a pre-requisite to all employees to have "authenticated" documents so there is no problem being under-qualified or over-experience in job/position applied for.
As for me I would change the climate and plant a large forest somewhere between Al-Wakrah and Doha. Qatar needs badly to be a little bit green/
you boys are such figures ;-)
I will change the working program (bit annoying especially having an emergency), not to be interrupted from 1pm-4pm...ensuring shifts where necessary.
..
No more sponsorship.

askme, so you still think you're a slave? You should have been here for more than 50 years, didn't your master free you just like all the others???
Buggers are not choosers!
Slaves have no right to ask anything!!
You like stay here or get out of this country!!!
Stop day dreaming!!!

I say what I like and I bloody well like what I say
what you really want is for Qatar to be like any other western country!
that's what you mean when you talk about bringing Ikea, and teaching the driving, and plantig trees, and women's way of dressing..
If you want that, then go somewhere else!
I would change all the silly paperwork we expats have to do when doing something so simple, like going away for a Holiday, or changing your job.
all the money and resources in the world. they can build the tallest building and artistic landscapes and they want to compete with Dubai...
NOT!
NOC's, Sponsorship, Exit permits. Things that money cant solve. Those are the things that made Qatar look PRIMITIVE compared to Dubai. with these, its impossible to go head to head with Dubai.
Qatar is dreaming =p

lzxcoco , nice idea, but most the cars would be landcruisers and the streets will be almost empty ... nice!!!
kick out all the foreigners,
they clean their toilet,
feed their babies...
cook their food...
wash their shit clothing....
dick their oil well.....
clean the streets...
catch their fish...........
then
there will be less land crusiers on roads,,,,
less accidents....
if you cannot take it, leave it !!
You are so mean..lol
I wish... Equal pay for men and women doing the same job
What is this sponsorship law business and NOC? I am not understanding...I haven't moved to Qatar yet but please someone shed some light. If you sign a contract and want to leave, can they hold you in Qatar? and Whats this business of waiting two years to be let back into the country?
END THE SPONSERSHIP LAW.....ITS AWFUL..MODERN SLAVERY.
This is a land of understated beauty and discreetly hidden culture nurturing an array of mixed ethnic majorities and Fast Food outlets that cater for the Fattyboombooms amongst its shimmering masses. Time for another methinks. Yippee, Yippeee, its GORDONS gin for me!

SALARY must be based on your perfomance and not on your color or race.
knowledge_i agree with u...

don't know where to start :)
from racial discrimination to NOC and sponsorship...
Too many too list...this place needs a major overhaul

Electric is right. We are in a modern world.Maybe at 100yrs from now.Theyre keeping wearing hajib.And they are Landlords who used to slave us,Thay cancelled us eventhough we're end of contract.They should release us.
There one thing he missed also.To change the mind of the people that theyre are thinking they are powerful here.And also be fair in salary.The person who has bigger salary is the person who did nothing.There are lots of things to be change here.iT should become first in the mind of the people living here.good topic..LOL!
Expats Moaning!
^^^
one thing missed..
dont bring these kind of people(like eclectic)..
--------------------------------------
Thanks Qatar!!
I would change the sponsorship/visa regulations. It's modern slave trading.
I would have government policy to change the way people drive in Qatar. It is dangerous and not necessary. There are plenty of good examples from other countries; the Qatari government can afford to bring in expert help to educate their traffic planning/traffic police and roads department. DO IT please.
I would encourage the women not to wear the hajib, it is very intimidating. When one cannot see another person's face or expressions how can you be friendly towards them.
I would educate the nationals to be more open to mixing with other nationalities in their country.
I would make pork available for those who want it, even if by licence like the liquor warehouse.
I would encourage IKEA to open a store here.
I would bring in a lot more soil and plant loads of grass and trees.
I would build more 'village' type areas in the city in order to develop more community spirit.
I would like to see more traditional music and world music concerts in Qatar
I would like to see continuing interest in historical aspects of Qatar (what is left), and development of Arabic cultural enterprises, not Islamic (keep religion out of things).
I would like to see less emphasis on religion in the world in general, it has been and continues to be the cause of so much strife, death and wars in the world. Why should we hate each other because we don't believe in the same things. If I like blue and you like red, should I hate you? If I lke rock music and you like Country & Western, should I hate you? The answer to this is education - a broad and international education and less extremism.
I like this country and I'd love to see it become a wonderful model of a truly international state.
i agree with "junarc2003"
Bleees Bleees!! engleeez in the government sector !!
Bery bery combulsory
the RADAR system
where do i start.....
the 1st is no more Visa...
Customer care,discrimination of skin,colour & money,restricted entries to bachelors on fridays,transport service,parking places,& so moreeeeeeeee
Everybody's attitude towards ....everybody
No more slavery. Thats mean no more exit permit and sponsorship sheeeeeettte
Everybody is right everybody is wrong, it depend where you stand
Traffic
Trains
High quality streets
Good street structures
No pork/alcohol/churches
No useless aspects
Wearing cloths that cover thier body :P
Less cost cars/homes/food/items
More entertainment places for everyone
--------------------------------------
Thanks Qatar!!
I have some suggestions,
Extend ban from 2 years to 10.
Require Taxes from expats.
Castrate the single guys, cancel family day.
what else??
Just Joking.
In a place where everyone should be taking care of each other, I'd just like to see less of the negativity. Call me a tree hugger.. but.
(And I know I've been guilty of it myself and I'd like to give myself a good flogging for it..)
no NOC!!
pork
needs a train
no to racial discrimination
trees
flan.. then i will be able to reach my office in 5 minutes of driving instead of 45 now.. :)

You can't teach experience...
This country has not much to live for for the rest of your life with your family at present. Not even places to visit. Weather ain't good. There's no historical integrity. People spend more on worthless things. Arabs'll still treat you badly. Master-slave mentality will still sink all the achievements Qatar has to offer for world recognition even if they can spend plenty for development. By the time Qatar is well-developed, I'm probably dead at that time with my grandchildren all grown up and married.
In spite of a very rich country like Qatar, nobody beats back home in spite of its lesser commodities. My place has had historical preservation for centuries and plants and trees everywhere. Seeing Qatar only made me love my country even more.

buy pork. I miss it. And of course all of the above.
My thoughts are my own, but I doubt my Mum would agree with some of them.
Sponsorship Law
No banned period! expats may exit on their own expenses and free to re-entry anytime without NOC.
No descrimination for women and the damn visa process drives me insane!!!
Should have an equal rights OR NO "Racial Discrimination" in the Workplace.
No more NOCs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
