Drugged man caught
A citizen who had consumed too much drugs entered an off-limits area for a walk, and ended up with Hawally police arresting him. Policemen spotted the man in the area in Salwa, so they stopped him and found out he was under the influence. He also had drug paraphernalia with him. He was sent to state security. — Al-Anbaa

Does not the beautiful past have its own aroma, memories and testimony over history?!
Civilized nations preserve heritage and are proud of it, and boast in front of nations, so what are we doing by demolishing our heritage with our own hands without any remorse or sadness?! All old neighborhoods and houses were destroyed, along with schools where the entire older generation studied, while the state did not preserve even one neighborhood at least to be a memory of olden times and a symbol for the young. Old mosques and husseiniyas of significance and all Failaka landmarks were demolished.
And if it was not for the alertness of some people and the response of our late Amir Sheikh Jaber AlAhmad, may Almighty Allah bestow His mercy on him, the heritage diwaniyas would not have remained on the Gulf coast.
Recently, one of Ahmadi’s oldest schools was torn down. We, these days, hear about the intention to raze one of the oldest mosques in the capital, the Shamlan Al-Roumi Mosque, and tomorrow, only Allah knows where the destruction will reach! Regardless of the reasons, advancements in modern engineering can do the impossible to keep heritage as is without distortion.
Countries worldwide compete to have the United Nations designate some of their historical locations as heritage sites, while some people here are demolishing every building that has the scent of history and aroma of the past and heritage of the grandfathers. What we hope to do is to preserve our history and heritage, and all what reminds us of our beautiful past. As the Kuwaiti saying goes: “What lacks a beginning does not have an end.” — Translated by Kuwait Times
