I am writing with regard to the article "Saudi businessmen should endeavor to improve the Kingdom's image abroad" (Aug 23). When it comes to paying adequate salaries to workers or paying them on time, we take our workers for granted and show no mercy to them. Before worrying about improving our image and reputation abroad, we should fix our image and attitude in our country. All sponsors should be made to attend a compulsory customized training program on how to behave with employees, colleagues, fellow citizens and expatriates from any institution like Dale Carnegie before issuing them a company license or visa and above all a driving license. Abdullah, Online response II. First, Saudi businessmen should pay their expat workers salaries on time and give them extra bonuses as an act of charity. Then, they should also stop using the names of other Saudi citizens to improve their Nitaqat rating in order to receive loans and privileges. If they make money this way, they know that it is haram and that it cannot be used in good halal charity. Avid1111, Online response
