With regard to the article "Regulations for 9 p.m. shop closure finalized" (June 30), I think this is a bad decision. Families normally go out for shopping after Isha, because the father usually comes home around Maghreb. Isha is around 9 p.m. So by Isha everything will be closed. What will we do; sit at home and do nothing? What if we need to buy groceries? Will we have to wait until the weekend? Talha Raza, Online response II. The head of the Riyadh Center for the Development of Small and Medium Businesses explained that retailers employ more than 1.5 million workers, most of whom are unskilled expatriates and these jobs can be occupied by Saudis. That means that the prices of commodities will be increased because the salary of one Saudi will be four times more than that of an expatriate. The burden will fall on middle class workers..
