Gambling in Kuwait? Prohibited or allowed?




Gambling in Kuwait? Prohibited or allowed?

Today I have been to Kuwait city by bus. While I was waiting for my bus I have
started walking around Mirgab surrounding area. I have seen one crowed of people
and first I have ignored. Few minutes later I became bit of curious about crowed and I have asked myself why these people are so busy keeping their eyes down looking inside.
Anyway I have put my phone camera on walked near the crowed pretending to be typing something on the phone. I have managed to take some photographs without letting anybody know Iam taking photos. Unluckily inside photos I don’t know what happened to them.
Inside they had one piece of card board with few numbered boxes from 2-6. Four people sitting on the ground for collecting cash and giving cash. One of them were doing double
Duty collecting / giving cash and throwing dice. Another person standing and managing the whole game. I have spent about an hour watching this gambling and surprised to know they have done business in hundreds kuwaiti dinars.
Later I have found out there are other members of the gang keeping an eye on the surroundings of this place.
I have really felt very sorry for some of those poor Indian Bengali and Pakistanis who lost money in gambling. Someone told me it happens in other places as well during lunch hours.

Noisy Air conditioning Fans Of Franklin Installed by cowboys

How do you feel if you are sleeping under roof with 32 big noisy fans running whole night without any break? It is not manufacturers fault but people who installed them they thinks they are more intelligent than the manufacturers. These units are sold and installed in Kuwait by “moassa Al khaleej” Tel: 24733598 & 24769361 Since long time I was complaing to company about problem with air conditioning unit and last year I have decided to go with them on the roof. Their technician opened the fan, told me that thermostat is missing and it is connected directly. How it went missing? You know how? If they have call out for any fault they come and just take out parts from others units and use them to repair. As soon as I heard missing I started shouting and told them no other person comes here apart from your company. Anyway after few arguments they agreed to fit thermostat without any extra cost. Other thing I was on venture to see how their unit looks. I took a ladder and looked inside where they have installed central AC unit. As I have touched the metal unit I got electric shock. Next day I have telephoned the company and told them your units are not earthed. They have called next day and both units connected to the earth wire. Problem with third world countries and Muslim countries there is no concept of safety. Thats why many people die due to minor accidents and negligence of others. Today I have contacted the company to rectify the noise coming from their air conditioning fan units. They just refused to give me name of owner of the company by saying he is Abdul Rasool Sahaf. When I asked them who is working owner they refused to give the name by just saying that guarantee of the units is expired. I would like to tell them if even your guarantee is expired but still you are liable for due to unsafe and dangerous installation. If you are considering to buy or installation of “Franklin” please think twice because they are just cowboys.
