K's Path Work Truck Road Rage

This morning I heard the story of the K's Path truck involved in road rage with one of my co-workers. He was driving to the base this morning when he had flashed a slow moving "work" truck in front of him. All of the sudden the work truck turned on bright yellow lights and slammed on the brakes as the guy avoided hitting the truck he noticed the words K's Path in blue letters on the side. As he got back in front of the truck again the yellow lights were turned on as if to intimidate or something. It was a white guy in his late 30's driving the truck with license plate 14258 or 12458. Did the driver of the K's Path truck think he was tough or something? After all it was 6 in the morning which is a little early to be ticked off. It's not just Kuwaitis who drive crazy, everyone does it.

‘Pay hikes, bonuses to harm national economy’

I agree with this. No one has tried to study the cause and effect of giving away all of this money. With corruption already sucking up money now it's the salary increase. Yes, some Kuwaiti citizens are not paid that much, even with degrees. But when one sits on his butt all day and doesn't work for their income then I think they shouldn't receive a dime. For those who have hard jobs and deserve it should get it. I think chicks who sit in the Ministries and talk on the phone all day shouldn't get one fil more as well as those who are always absent.

There should be a study done before awarding all of this money. Oil won't last forever and Kuwait is far from being a top travel destination so be careful what you wish for, it may have a negative effect on the future generations.

‘Pay hikes, bonuses to harm national economy’:

KUWAIT CITY, Sept 28: The government is currently studying the possibility of increasing the cost of living allowance from KD 120 to KD 220 for all Kuwaiti workers, reports Al-Anba daily quoting sources.

Sources said the proposal was presented recently in a meeting with the Civil Service Commission (CSC) to discuss the proposed salary increment for those not covered by the pay raise decisions issued earlier.

Meanwhile, Al-Mustaqbal daily has reported that the consultative committee tasked to study the local and international economic positions recommended halting the payment of salary increments and additional allowances in a recently-concluded meeting. The committee argued granting demands for salary and allowance increments, which cost billions of dinars, is not a good move at this time, because the whole world is still grappling with the economic crisis.

The committee warned about the dire consequences if the government continues to approve demands for increments, asserting this step may jeopardize the economy. and destroy the social structure due to the widening gap between various sectors in the society. It has also derided some government institutions for giving in to the demands of the protesters without taking into consideration the negative impact of such moves to the Kuwaiti economy.

People should think about the long run before protesting.
