For every expatriate life is usually tough, adjusting in anew environment and it was the same for me when I came to Bahrain. As I started exploring and seeing more of this small island nation it was such an eyeopener. From an economic point of view I was amazed to see this small unassuming nation really standing tall. There are so many big nations who liketo think of themselves as champions of free trade, but how many are actually practising what they preach? Here is this small nation not only advocating freetrade but doing so much more in most fields. Every time I take a walk in thelocality I stay in, it is amazing to see sign boards in languages ranging from Malayalam, Hindi, English, Tagalog, Chinese to Malay etc. The amount and variety of products that are available to consumers also tells one about the rules that the government follows with regard to trade.
The first indication such sign boards should give people coming to this country is the large heartedness and benevolence of the rulers.It pains me so much that the native people of this beautiful island nation do not appreciate the potential the regime provides in the form of rules implemented. What could have been a beacon to the rest of the world in terms of an example of free enterprise and prosperity has become marred. I wish more people would help the government help achieve its goals of economic development because nothing but economic prosperity will ensure there is a level playing ground for all the people. Most of the rules regarding trade, commerce, health,education and labour laws are such that they give the citizens and expatriate equal opportunities in the industrial, commerce and trade sectors to name a few areas.
Therefore it is the duty of the people living in this nation to ensure that we make the best use of the opportunities coming our way. In doing so we will ensure that the nation reaches a position of economic power that will be the best equaliser of class and creed.
