I hope this message goes to them and their superiors!!!

Them: The cops in charge of issuing driving licenses in Kuwait.

Why: I could not believe how corrupt and inhuman they are!!!

What happened: Many Indians working in Kuwait complained on numerous occasions that they have failed the driving test although they:

a) Have an Indian driving license and have been diving there for more than five years.
b) Paid for and taken driving lessons in Kuwait (Kindly note that paying for these lessons is quite a financial burden on many of them).
c) Swear that they performed very well on the driving test and were sure about passing but the cop was just inhuman and did not want to make them pass.

I am not sure how the Indians react so calmly when these cops insult them too (happens quite often apparently that I wish these cops would rot in hell), but simply imagining myself in their shoes makes me furious, so I wonder how they must really be feeling!!!

What makes it even worse is that I was told that these cops usually get paid on the side to issue a license. They don't seem to get paid directly, but a middleman collects the money from the Indians and takes care of the cop to issue them a license !!!

If thats how the hard working Indians are treated in Kuwait, how on Earth would one expect them to save their money and invest in Kuwait!!!

Wow. I always thought anyone who wanted a license in Kuwait would get one, hence the state of driving these days.

Thats what I thought too, but apparently there is a lot of discrimination.
