IAM amazed at how people treat their own environment in Bahrain. I pulled up behind a man last Friday evening at the traffic lights on Exhibition Road and watched this driver open his car door and empty the rubbish all over the street, before the lights turned green. I was shocked. A few weeks ago, at one of the public beaches, I witnessed a person cleaning his car in the car park and throwing papers and cans. Why? What sort of people are these? Is there no shame or conscience? I am from the UK, where parents teach their children to respect other people and their surroundings. I find it so disheartening to see these people spoiling what is a wonderful place. Bahrain could be one of the most desirable places to visit for foreign tourists, if only we could educate these ignorant individuals spoiling their own country. Give me the job of sorting this problem. It’s not rocket science. Educate them, monitor and as a last resort, punish them.
