i really get the feeling sometimes that the leadership of the country is aiming at gradually changing the mindset of their people and weaning them of their comfort oriented lifestyle. I'm not saying they are lazy or useless; many Qataris are devoted workaholics.. just that being from a rich and pampering country maybe reduces the motivation/reasons to roll up the sleeves, so to speak. The leaders maybe want to foster a progressive mentality and props to them if so:-)
