Government – Stop the Indian Invasion!

[omania]

Diwan, Ministry of Labor, Central Bank of Oman, etc. – all of you must stop the Indian invasion in our beloved country.

If you drive around Ruwi in the evening, you will see all sorts of these people in fancy company cars driving around. They get good jobs that Omani deserve, with good salaries and benefits and they don’t even help the economy. They end up sending the money to India and Oman’s economy looses out with this outflow of money.

Because of them (NRIs from around the world), India is becoming stronger every day, building nuclear arsenal and threatening the livelihood of our own country – Oman!

This is an urgent call to the Government to stop giving labor clearances to Indians for the sake of Oman – anyone listening?

LOOOOOOOl@HATE_QOOM_LOOT &gt;&gt;I specially liked the part you said about seeing Omanies around, not like in UAE, hehe.

Anyhow, Omania! i posted something in the general sablah, I have no intentions to discriminate Indians or any other nationality, but I suggest you read it http://www.omania.net/evip/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000104.html
Its the second reply from me.

These Indians are not here because they're cheap, but because they do in 1 day what an Omani does in a month. Production we're talking about. Omanis are lazy let's face it! They want an easy job with lots of money and why not a schoolership after 2 years although their staff report is graded zero. The Indians working in the lower jobs are more reliable. I hate to ask Omanis about anything in foodstores for example. The first reaction, they don't know. The second they spend long time before they give you an answer. The third is that most of the time they go and ask the Indian, So, it's still him at the end. I'm not saying that all Omanis are like this but those active and knowledgable ones are rare. Salesmen in car agencies, Omani ones, give you brief describtion of the car. If you ask them what's an ESP or what's a third brake light they're stuck. What makes it worse if it's a woman! Do Indians run out of words in these situations. Well' I bought a car recently and had experience with many Omani and non Omani salesmen and women and take my words the Indians are more profficinal. Not because they're older and Omanis are new but because they develop themselves which seldom happens with Omanis. The first thing I'll do in my first week at a job is to understand what every word in a manual about a car I'm selling means..won't I? Those people driving expensive cars didn't get them from Diwan. They got them from their work. Most of them own companies which is something to admire. They saw windows for investments that Omanis are too busy "yraboo korosh" to see. Don't ask the government to send them away if you can't take their places, you send them away with your work. And meanwhile, if you can't beat them, join them!!

Greetings to all of you! It is my pleasure to contribute to this dialogue. It is my first contribution but I hop it will not be the last.

Yes I do agree that it must be frustrating to see an increasing number of young people unemployed. The implication can be devastating not only to them but also to the community and the country as a whole. An increasing number of unemployment is very costly to the country from the economic point of view it is also socially and politically problematic. In my first ever contribution I am not going to explore the implications of unemployment I am going rather to give my point of view on what has been posted so far.

 “Omania” thinks that unemployment is the sole responsibility of the government and therefore the government should reduce the unemployment problem by firing Indians out of their jobs and be sent back to India.
 “Oman lover” thinks that an awareness campaign can also help in tackling the problem.
 “HATE QOOM LOOT” and “No fear” and “UnKnown” imply that working abroad in a city like Dubai can also reduce the unemployment in Oman. However, “Black Panther” disagree and recommends that we should face the problems. Furthermore, UnKnown recommends that Omanis need to be given a chance to prove themselves.
 “Had elsaif” develops further the debate and has several implied recommendations to fight the unemployment problem in Oman, these include:
 Omanis should become more competitive by accepting lower salaries, more skilled, more productive, and more reliable.
 “Warda” thinks that Omanis need more qualifications for them to be able to compete with expatriates.
 “dreams” think that education will help in solving the problem of unemployment in Oman.
 “Em6anash” and “sporty” suggest that corruption must stop in order to help in the process of solving the unemployment problem among the youth.

While I agree with most of what has been recommended to help in reducing the unemployment problem in Oman, I have the following comments:

 I do not doubt the concern that we all have for the unemployment problem the country is facing, however some of what has been said mount to mere discrimination against Indians. Our nation has been known for its humanitarian values. Our religion and our culture promote equality, fairness, and freedom of individuals, in my opinion, that has been not the case with some of what has been said.
 Although some of the jobs that are occupied by Indians can be taken over by Omanis, the majority of Indians work in low skill jobs that pay low salaries. Therefore, it is not the types of jobs that Omanis will go for. In addition, most of those workers who drive fancy cars have Omani individuals as agents and I am sure they must have worked hard, the Indians, to earn the income they get and the cars they drive.
 While I think the government has a responsibility towards creating job opportunities for its citizens, I think individuals and the community as a whole can play an important role towards solving the problem of unemployment in Oman.
 Last but not least, I think it is very important to be objective about the issue of Omanization and creating job opportunities for Omanis. In other words, I disagree with some of the implied criticism. I believe if we all think together and try to find solutions and I mean practical solutions the unemployment problem will be lessened.

I hope that I did manage to keep your interest, without boring you too much. I do intend in the future to explore further unemployment issue in Oman, until then take care.

brother how can you ask the minesters to increase the sallaries ,they own the companies they own the trade in oman ,,, the people in power own the big and small companies.
They know if they increase the salaries they will loose their millions from swiss banks, how can you ask the judge to judge against him self.( ELI FE EIDO EL QALAM MAYEKTOB 3ALA NAFSO SHAQI ).

We should use:
the sablah,
the live programmes in the Sultanate of Oman radio, and the newspapers to express to the government ( Ministery of Social Affairs, Labour and Vocational Training)that the salaries they set for the private sector to give to the Omani employees is really very very very little compared to the life expediture in Oman.

We should force them by so many requests to lessen (get less) of the foriegn employees, and they should employ the Omanis instead. because the Omanis - i am sure - are of best experience of these foriegn people who use the economy of Oman for the sake of thier countries.

And there are some more ideas that othres can think of. That is what I think, if i wish you a gree with me, because this is a very important aspect.

[Plain Truth]

Thank you "I love Allah" -by the way I love him 2- for your suggestion and that is basically to increase the salaries of Omanies and to put further restrictions on the number of foreign workers coming to the country.
In my opinion direct government intervention is not necessarily the best policy to Omanize. I do agree that it is one of the means but not the best.
Government policy should be directed towards the following:
1. Increasing the quality and the level of education and training.
2. Establish a database on employment and job related issues those covers not only Oman but also the countries in the region like, GCC.
3. Publish a weekly or a monthly bulletin on employment and job related issues.
4. The free employment and movement of national labour in the GCC countries should have a top priority in the GCC Head of States meetings, at least to Oman.
5. The government should do something about what is called (ÇáÊÌÇÑÉ ÇáãÓÊÊÑÉ). That is basically the ownership of the business by an expatriate under the disguise of an Omani agent. I believe that this is one of the major obstacles on Omanization. It is also the main source of the drainage of the capitol in Oman.
I think there more points we all can think off and I am sure all I have listed above need further discussion and explanation. I hope we will all contribute to this very important topic.
Untill then, take care

brother &lt;HATE_QOOM_LOOT&gt; thank you...
you said: "they own the companies they own the trade in oman ,,, the people in power own the big and small companies".

if they own the companies and trade, do you want us to keep silent on them...
no we should speak the truth because we don't care about their loss as you said :"They know if they increase the salaries they will loose their millions from swiss banks", or profit... what we care about here is: how to tell things in real truth, this is AMAANAH on everybody in this country...

_____________________________________________

brother &lt;Plain Truth&gt; thank you...
you said:"direct government intervention is not necessarily the best policy to Omanize. I do agree that it is one of the means but not the best".
i agree with you it is not the best, but believe me it works sometimes if so many people supports an idea, and if this idea has some benifits to the country and its civilians.

i 100% agree with you when you said:"Government policy should be directed towards the following:", onwards.

BUT how can we force the country to take these points into account???
