Genesis - noted. TQ. And my PoV remains that once the country is developed, they should be self confident enough to compete with the world on merit. It is a weakness to continue with protectionist policies when they already have so much. This is the reason why their poorer neighbours are frustrated, feel oppressed, etc. and wars are started. What goes around, comes around. Those who are rich and arrogant will get their come uppance, one way or another. The sad thing is the innocent suffer.
PaulCowan said "Promoting people too fast doesn't achieve anything. It just leaves them feeling confused and inadequate, and they are unable to control what is going on around them because they have no knowledge of the basics - or even of the little tricks their staff get up to. So I would say the quota system (unless tranfers are banned) really serves no purpose beyond putting a pay packet into the hands of nationals to keep them happy."
- Sorry, disagree. Quota system / protectionist policies are necessary for developing nations - because its people are not ready to compete in the world arena. Qatar is very much like Malaysia, except a few years behind it in terms of development (NB: not talking about wealth per se) because Qatar recently opened it doors to the world a few years ago.
Suggest Qatar learns from Malaysia's mistakes so - re: protectionist policies - where there is infighting now - those who want to continue being protected because "it's their right" and the smarter ones who know they need to be confident enough to let go and compete on merit in order to break free and move forward. A house divided will fall. I believe the leaders are aware but have trouble managing the situation.
/Smart people learn from other people's mistakes so as to avoid landing into unnecessary trouble and thus, suffer less.
