Laws in Q8 are bad

• Okay … its time to VENT. I have never spoken about Q8 even though I have gone through misery. Yes Money is good but just in this land of depression and lot of check points only aiming at expatriates. Now let me get to the point. My father in law has worked for KOTC for donkeys years and one fine day they manipulate his work contract and in the end offer peanuts. He managed to get a lawyer and fight his hard earned money. Now when it comes to lawyers I think its really silly. You cannot take any Kuwaiti to a court and fight a case. Remember only Kuwaiti lawyers. Now he will know the lawyers brother or sister or distant cousin. So there is VASTA (influence). A very popular word if you want to get things done under the table. Well, he left the country and guess what they agreed to extend his residence (work permit) since he has an ongoing case with the company. Now comes the true colors of the people of q8. They did not extend his residence but waited his for his residence to expire. He kept asking them what is taking so long to stamp the residence. Now I had been in q8. To get a job done in ministry u have to pull your hair. But you got to do it. Well the excuse they gave was computers were down. How lame… then the unfortunate happened and there was a week holiday. Now since his residence had expired they gave him an ultimatum… you sing the release papers and take what you get. What a setup… and you idiots tell me that Q8 is a great country… I can go on about you bloody people. No wonder you have more enemies than friends. My father in laws experience and thousands more have complained about the law in q8. All sucks. If you have VASTA then maybe you can get somewhere…then again if its against a Q8… you can forget. You got only 2 options .. take the cell or get deported. That is how q8 sucks. Please people beware … you don’t have a friend out there…you can trust a snake but not a Kuwaiti. Now tell me with all this … is there justice. Can anyone tell me is that a way to win this all. I thought so…
