city centre, villagio, landmark problems !! serious one

I have been living in Qatar for the last 19-20 years. I live in Qatar with my mom and dad. I study in CNA-Q university ..

Now i come to the main topic. i never faced such problems in qatar but now i don't know why this is happening for the past 6-7 months ..

The problem is the " family day " rule in the shopping malls like city centre, villagio, landmark etc .. whenever me and my friends make a plan to go to city centre .. or dine over there ... we are not allowed to go in without our families on thursdays and fridays ..

This is one the serious problems prevailing in qatar .. there is board on which it is written the rules of city centre .. there is written

1- no smoking
2- no skating shoes allowed
3- no vulgar dresses ( cheap dresses )
4- no kissing. and many more

I am here to ASK you all .. that why only the "FAmily Day" rule is applied .. and no one sees the cheap dresses .. vulgar dresses .. no one bothers about the skating shoes ... no security guard stops someone who is kissing or expressing alot of love like he doesn't have his to do such things !!

why only there is great stress on family day rule ????
even though this was not bothering anyone ...

See, weekend is for everyone .. everyone has the right to enjoy it .. so why we young boys not girls are stopped on the gate ???

hoping for a good reply !!

Friends,

First of all this problem is raising on only Asians i belive, if Europeans or other White nationality don't have this problems and the security guards has no guts to stop them even, almost all the security guards in CC, Villagio and Landmark is Nepalis, you know their capacity they simply follow their cheif's order and they instruct already that don't stop white skin, this is absolutely discrimination between humans. They have to change this idiotic attitude and respect everyone with same perspective.

I WAS THERE IN CITY CENTRE ON FRIDAY, ONE SECURITY GUARD STOPPED TO ME TO ENTER INSIDE. AFTER THAT TWO EUROPEAN GUY'S COME AND ENTER WITHOUT ANY QUESTION, I ASK TO THE SECURITY WHY ENTER EUROPEAN'S? ONLY BANED INDIAN'S OR ASIANS ONLY? HE CAN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION, THEN I ENTER INSIDE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM.....

Those notices are a joke- how many kids do you see with heely shoes whizzing around the malls and no one says anything. And some of the outfits could be x rated and no one says anything. And as for smoking in public places- no one says anything.Whats the point of these notices??
