today my dad was dropping off on a station using a kptc bus, but these bus drivers racing and competing with other drivers as if they will win a f1 trophy or sum, closed the door while my dad got off. His hand got stuck into the door and this bus driver started to drive, my dad was legit being dragged on the ground on his back. i wasnt with him so i couldnt help but thankfully people around him started shouting at that idiot driver. now his back got multiple rashes, i dont wanna describe how bad it is and now he cant walk since it hurts so much. There is also nothing i think i can do aside from complaining which wont do shit on the driver. there should be a rule to stay at the bus stop for atleast 1min.

This isn't just about what happened to my father. I've personally witnessed similar incidents involving passengers on two other occasions. How many more incidents need to happen before something changes? Shouldnt kptc introduce minimum stopping requirements and ensure drivers check that passengers have safely exited before moving? Has anyone else experienced this, and is there an effective way to report these incidents?

What’s going on here?

You go alone in the car, are asked to going around the area and end up in a parking area where you are told to park the car in a place smaller than the actual car.

Not only they have no idea if I can drive using this kind of test, but I can take the test 100 times and the car will never fit.

How am I supposed to get a driving license around here?

I an wondering what Business Sectors Kuwait is currently leading.

Kuwait being in Gulf there are obvious Oil, Gas, Defense and Infrastructure Contracting Companies and Established Companies which are Top Tier. We can also include Logistics and Warehousing in this Teir.

Then comes Health Industry especially Cosmetic and Chronic oriented services are leading followed by Civil Infrastructure Contracting Companies, Automobile Industry and Automobile Services can also fall under this second tier.

I think then comes Textile, Bakeries, F&B, Consumer Delivery Services, Retail Markets and other Manufacturing Sectors like Soap, Shampoo, Cosmetics, Perfumes/Fragrances, Furniture, Jewelery and Plastic based Products.

This is very impressive for any Country. I think Kuwait is Punching above it's Weight.

What Industry are you working in and would like Kuwait to Develop further in the coming Future.

Let me know if I had left some industry or sector out which is prominent than I assumed.

Thank you.

Hi, I'm asking as a person who's new in Kuwait, how do people who can't drive or have a driver transport to their work or even go out? Do you have ay recommendations on safe taxis or suitable subscriptions of such applications?

Thanks in advance..

Hello!!

I'm tired of playing Fortnite with teammates who leave mid match or get mad at you for not covering them when they push solo against a squad. I'd love to have a duo who I can frequently play with! Idm with or without mic, I'm a mobile player and I'd say I'm pretty decent, also a ZB player because it's hard building on mobile 😭

I also play Roblox! 99 nights, adopt me, royale high, evade and mostly the OG games besides brain rots

If anyone's interested lmk!!

Which brands make the best/most authentic sourdough you’ve tried in Kuwait? With legit long fermentation (48hr) and decent rise to the loaf?

I am super confused on how to study for everything, I have been researching for a while and I'm lost 💔. If anyone has any advice or anything please help. And might I add that my spelling is terrible.. I'm planning to take it in Dec or maybe a month if I'm prepared enough.

My friend is having bad pain in her shoulder and arm joints (I think that’s how she described it) and she’s looking for a good private orthopedic clinic. Any recommendations?

I’m heavily into survival games but I don’t mind trying out new games at all so don’t hesitate to reach out

Some of my go to games:

-Project zomboid (I’ll stick a star sticker of friendship on your forehead if you play it)

-Tarkov
-Tekken
-Elden ring
-SDV
-Dayz
-League of legends
-DCUO
-Valorant
-Divinity ( VERY NEW TO IT )

So Its my first time at a j-0-b Fair, an Expat, heard some mixed reviews about Watheefti.

I am lil bit scared on how I should approach people at the booth, or even spark a conversation with the people and network.

Has anyone gone through this route and secured a j-0-b at the booth If yes, please give me some tips 🙏.

Love yall as always 💕💕

I work as an English teacher and have my masters with MANY years of experience and honestly I am considering getting a PhD but I can’t just leave the country for studies due to many reasons of my own

I really don’t know where to start the PhD process

Has anyone started PhD in Education field?
Is there such a thing as going just for assessments/research submissions etc or does it have to be the traditional way of actually attending classes?

I work with special needs kids and they really like this toy but it just broke. The problem is is that I ordered it from Temu and it'll take too long too arrive. Does anyone know where I can buy this toy in Kuwait? Thanks

I’m posting this on behalf of a female friend who came to Kuwait on 11 October for employment.
Today, she was supposed to go for her medical examination. I don’t know the specific details, but all I know is that she came to me sobbing, saying how her manager fed her some bullshit about how her master’s degree and paperwork aren’t correct, so the visa she came in on isn’t valid, and she needs to get a new visa by paying 400 KD.
She obviously said she doesn’t have that kind of money, and he replied by saying he could pay it off if she did him some sexual favors.
What the actual fuck is wrong with people, I will never know, but I have zero network or connections to anyone who can help with situations like this.
Please, anyone who has even some kind of connection to the Indian Embassy, please contact me.
I’m only 19 myself and have no idea how to navigate this situation.

It's been over a month since last this happened, where my wired ethernet cable to the zain huawei router randomly seems to disconnect and no internet right in the middle of my browsing, opening youtube, scrolling through videos etc etc, then turn back on, then turn off again. No consistency whatsoever. Wish there was a way to diagnose why that happens.

It's beyond frustrating especially in 2026 to have problems equivalent to dial up. While watching a show set in the past about characters using dial up...

how broad is the real estate market in Kuwait?

is the comissions Good??

I'm sure you have noticed how antisocial people have become. And I'm talking about myself too. I find it very inconvenient when someone wants to make plans with me. If I do go out, all I could think about is when am I going back home and be alone. I feel like that's the case for a lot or people. People don't take the time and effort to meet new people anymore and grow their circle. They can barely keep up with the one or two friends they have. Friendship break apart very easily. I KNOW people weren't like that in the past at all. Is it the social media? Are the people talking to us on tiktoks and real making us feel like we are talking to people and so we feel like we socialized? I really wonder🥹

Hello guys, I am 34m, with wife and 3 year old child living with me in salmiya, recently I have lost my employment due to downsizing in my company. For a while due to the market conditions my pay was not quite enough and we are living month to month. Since 2 weeks I have tried every avenue, online portal, walking office to office with a cv in hand and have not gotten a single response. The upcoming month I don’t know how I will pay rent, or feed my family. My iqama also expires 3rd November. I was an IT project manager and have worked building softwares for various companies. Can anyone point me in a direction where I could get something work wise.

It’s really scary for me right now. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello

Where in Kuwait can I purchase print magazines in English? Such as The Economist, Newsweek etc

They used to be available at select TSC branches, but I can't seem to find them anymore. Such a shame!

Every Friday, 1 hour / 2,000 floors / 1,000 calories on stair master at the gym.

Seeking a worthy competitor capable of surpassing my benchmark.

Reason: The current situation has become monotonous, and if someone can surpass me in performance, it would serve and reignite my competitive drive and determination.

I’m visiting my parents and I’d like for us to go out for sushi all u can eat buffet. What would be a good spot ?

If you can please include the price and how clean that place is I don’t mind paying more for cleanliness as raw fish is a magnet for disease if not done properly.

Thank you

Hi everyone!
Could someone please explain the new 51–49 profit sharing rule and the recently implemented freelancing regulations in Kuwait, particularly for expats?
Do these rules apply to all types of online businesses as well? For example, people earning through YouTube, online trading, or even providing online tuition?
I was also interested in freelancing as a student to earn some money online, so I’d like to understand whether expats are allowed to do this under the new regulations and what the requirements are.
I’d really appreciate it if someone could clarify how these rules affect expats who want to earn money online. Thank you!

Can anyone confirm whether visit visa for sister/brother are still being issued?

I'm finally able to apply for a driving license and I couldn't be happier. However I have no idea how to study for the test. I can't find any documentation online beside a 380 pages PDF which is basically the whole law. I'm sure this is not how people are studying for it, but I can't find an alternative. Is there any better way?

Hey everyone!

Quick question: Are there any Carrom players here in Kuwait who consider themselves pretty good at the game?

A few of us are working on a YouTube series where people compete against each other in different games, and we're currently putting together a Carrom episode.

We've got a really strong player lined up, and thought it would be fun to find someone from the community who's willing to challenge him.

You don't have to be a professional or anything. Just someone who enjoys Carrom and wouldn't mind a little friendly competition.

It'll be filmed in a studio here in Kuwait, so you'd need to be comfortable appearing on camera.

Anyone interested? Or know someone who's ridiculously good at Carrom?
