  If you are a native regardless of royalty, dont you still get a lots of benefits and stuff like welfare? This all based on hearsay, the few whom i personally know that immigrated to work there have said so

    Welfare such as healthcare, education, and shelter? Besides shelter (they claim they provide for the homeless, they lie) healthcare & education is free. I can’t complain about the healthcare, but i definitely can about the education: It’s so bad, it doesn’t even matter. Beatings are still practiced in schools, the textbooks are filled with propaganda of all kind, they are completely unsanitary and unfit for a healthy environment. They don’t even get school-paid lunches for the children.

    And for shelter, i’ve seen homeless people completely naked, only covered by a blanket, sitting in the blistering heat, starved to the bone. It’s BS like everything else.

      So basically like every other south asian school prior to 2015

      I know most countries try to hide their homeless population(even the goody-two-shoes countries like japan) butThis is the first time i have heard of this, how exactly do you become homeless in a welfare state? Its an easy process in a capitalist society but barring political dissenters (who are likely to be executed outright) what must go wrong that you find yourself on the streets.

      Also i dont know if its okay to ask but are you a native or there due to circumstances (like a child of first generation immigrants or your parents are working in the country and you just happened to be there)

        We’re a western asian country, but i’d say we have the opposite problem of other asian countries; they work too hard, we neglect our children. India is the worst of both worlds lmao

        Homelessness is a problem here, unfortunately. We don’t have homeless shelters [at least in my city].

        Here’s some news articles about homelessness: middleeastmonitor.com/20200130-saudi-making-10000…

        And I am a native, my family has been here for centuries, since the ottomans ruled the hijaz.
