Here is an Indian talk show discussing Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia  suffers  the larger version of a problem that is similar to Malaysia. The gomen's over dependence on oil revenues coupled with gross incompetence.  

Of course the Saudi kings and princes empty their coffers by the Boeing loads without having to declare anything to anyone but themselves.

One of the talk show hosts says that Saudi Arabia has minimal technical manpower. They depend on over 3 million Indian workers alone to even change their lightbulbs. They are just a lazy people who have a negative attitude towards work.

We have the same problems here.  Poor attitude towards work.

On top of that our local boys and girls are shunning maths and science subjects in school and at university.  

Then the gomen is corrupt and incompetent. A "kleptocracy" says the US DOJ.

Then the oil price has dropped.  Screwed.
