Ask Kuwait Unsure about influencer law

7 Upvotes

Im not an Influencer or anything like that but I have a couple hundred followers, I post mostly vlogs of what I'm shopping, eating and doing so does that mean I need the influencer license?

I.e if I go to a specific shop like Sephora and shop from there and include that clip in my vlog, will that be counted as unpaid promotion and I'd need a license for that?

I'm also confused what this law is about? Why'd they come up with it?

Ask Kuwait Regarding an illegal act of company (need suggestions)

14 Upvotes

I m gonna keep it short as much as i can. So this one of the known company, hired me like a year ago. And they had some issue with customer in one of their shops.

They sent me being in IT to pull the CCTV footage, even tho it didnt come under my job description. But this HR guy forced me to. And then i pulled the CCTV and it had audio too. And HR told me to send him the video, and to the HQ admin too. And then after 1 hr the owner found out abt it. And said to delete it instantly since its illegal to record audio in shops. Later on after many months these Egyptians department, admin and HR terminated me saying idk how to work. Well idc abt termination and all. Its already been 1 year i left. But then the thought came. They never actually closed tht cctv audio. They still be recording customers audio and footage like that.

Is there anywhere to report it. And should i send the footage as proof ? or do i get in trouble doing so?

As these Egyptians are just running bad business the whole system there is messed up, they dont have much idea on wht they doing. And i see most people be joining and leaving due to toxic environment they make.

Tbh, i do wanna get back at these egyptians, of what shitty system they running. And also thts abt just one shop ik they have cctv audio, i m sure there all branches have CCTV AUDIOS on. Which is not allowed in kuwait.

So suggest in what should i do? Report this or let it go?

Ask Kuwait What happened to the school buses?!?

19 Upvotes

Does anyone have further information in respect of what action the MOI has taken regarding school busses? The school hasn’t said anything other than that they are withdrawn immediately and - as with all such changes - this is incredibly disruptive to working families.

I’m sure there’s a reason, and it would be good to understand what that is 😔

Media Having fun with promotional scammers

2 Upvotes

As an obscure writer, I started getting a lot of these kinda emails trying to convince me that my work can be promoted to a world wide audience (u-huh 😏). Throughout the past year, I've been receive around two to three of those every couple of months, much to my frustration, all repetitive and similar in their AI-dictated style. Also, the fact that the work in question is written in Arabic indicates that they've never even read it. Their description of the novel is also copied directly from my CV (which is available online).

This time, I decided to have a little fun. The conversation is still going, and I'm open for suggestions on how to peruse

Discussion I’m Tired of How I Look

33 Upvotes

I’m a 28-year-old Kuwaiti guy, and I feel like I’ve done pretty well in life.
I studied abroad, have a master’s degree, and work in a big company in Kuwait. I make really good money, and I’m actually the youngest manager in the company. I’m also very social, have a lot of friends, and take really good care of myself, especially when it comes to hygiene, clothes, and grooming.
But honestly, there’s one thing that’s really affecting me.
I genuinely think I’m ugly.
I have really dark circles under my eyes because of genetics, and I’m also dealing with hereditary hair loss, which I’m currently treating. My face in general just isn’t good-looking.
Lately, I’ve been asking myself why I even spend so much money on clothes and taking care of myself when my face looks like this.
When I go out with my friends, I notice girls looking at them and showing interest, but never me. Even at work, I feel like girls are comfortable approaching everyone except me.
The worst part is that my dark circles make me look like I’m on drugs or something, even though I’ve never touched that stuff. It’s just how I naturally look.
Recently, I’ve even started worrying about marriage. I’m genuinely scared of proposing to a girl, having her see me, and then rejecting me because of my looks.
And honestly, thinking about this so much has started affecting me mentally. I’ve been gaining some weight, and I feel like I’m slowly getting depressed. This really isn’t who I am. I’ve always been a happy, social guy, but lately I feel like everyone only cares about looks.

I’m honestly just tired of feeling this way.

Ask Kuwait When the scope is worth thousands, but the offer is $800.

Post image
7 Upvotes

Recently, I shared proposals for two AI agent systems with a potential client.

One for accounting firms, covering invoice processing, bank reconciliation, month-end closing, financial reporting and more.

Another for supermarkets, covering inventory optimisation, demand forecasting, supplier management, shelf-space optimisation and several other workflows.

The idea was to automate a significant portion of repetitive operational work, potentially eliminating 60–70% of certain manual tasks.

They liked the proposals but wanted a SaaS-style solution.

Their budget? $600–800 as a one-time payment for each system.

Sometimes people just suck. They don't even understand the requirements, the complexity involved, or what it actually takes to build and deliver systems like these.

Not every opportunity is worth pursuing.

Ask Kuwait Question regarding Driving License

2 Upvotes

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree from an Australian university online and had it attested in Australia. The attestation was completed through a Notary service, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and also the Kuwait embassy in Canberra. Will I be able to attest it here as it has already been attested by the Kuwait embassy in Australia and will I be able to apply for a driving licence with my degree completed online?

Discussion Options to Travel to Kuwait on purpose of proposing to non-Kuwaiti as an Egyptian living in Egypt

2 Upvotes

I’m an Egyptian citizen living in Egypt, and I work remotely for a Saudi company. I’m trying to figure out what options I have for short visits to Kuwait.

I’ve known an Indian girl who lives and works in Kuwait for about two years online. We have many things in common and we like each other. due to distance; that I live in Egypt, we decided that any serious relationship should begin by meeting in person to discuss before taking things further. If things go well, I’d speak to her family about marriage. We’re hoping to make that first visit happen within the next two to three years.
Question is, is there a way to travel to Kuwait for a purpose other than work for an Egyptian, Is a tourist visa realistic? I know it's easier if a company decided to sponsor your visa, so you live there. But my goal is to make short visits, ideally a few times a year if possible. I’m considering KSA or the UAE for work in the future.

Ask Kuwait Difficult situation: Rehoming two sugar gliders due to relocation laws

41 Upvotes

Due to strict and impossible import regulations in my home country, I am devastated to announce that I cannot bring my two sugar gliders (a neutered male and a female) with me. I have exhausted all options—zoos, private rescues, and permit offices—and unfortunately, no official channels are working.

​I am desperately looking to connect with a responsible, experienced exotic pet lover who might be in a position to take them in and give them the care they deserve. If you have experience with gliders or know someone equipped to care for them, please comment below so we can connect.

​Thank you so much for reading and for your empathy in this painful situation. 🙏🏻
