Amazon announced on Thursday that it had cancelled its plans to build a new headquarters in New York City, giving in to vocal opposition from local politicians and activists who were particularly enraged about the roughly $3 billion in tax breaks that Amazon had been offered to come to the Big Apple. "After much thought and deliberation, we've decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for Amazon in Long Island City, Queens," the company wrote, adding that “the commitment to build a new headquarters requires positive, collaborative relationships with state and local elected officials who will be supportive over the long-term”. Apparently the company’s leadership did no longer see this given, which ultimately lead to the decision to scrap the ambitious project altogether. Back in November, Amazon had announced to build a new campus in Long Island City, Queens, which would have created 25,000-40,000 jobs and generated $27.5 billion in additional tax re…

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Lt-Gen Sheikh Khalid Al-Jarrah has issued a decision to cancel residency stickers that are placed in the passports of expatriates.

According to Assistant Undersecretary for Residency Affairs Major General Talal Marafie, the data included in the residency stickers will be mentioned in the civil IDs.

The decision will be enforced as soon as Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI), the embassies of some countries in Kuwait and airlines are ready.

Major General Marafie stressed that implementation of the decision will be preceded by a campaign aimed at informing everyone about the decision. He explained that such a decision has a number of advantages such as bringing an end to confiscation of expatriates’ passports by sponsors as this will no longer be required, and preservation of the papers in the passports. The decision also includes temporary residency and departure notifications.
