Several visitors to Hamad Hospital are demanding that the authorities solve the parking problem there since many doctors occupy the parking slots kept for the visitors.
 
Some streets in Bin Imran are undergoing road works and excavations and there are no streetlights, causing darkness at night. Residents have urged the Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning to solve this problem as soon as possible.
 
Rent-a-car companies are mushrooming in the country and those that do not have parking facilities are occupying the parking slots of neighbouring outlets and streets creating major problems for passersby and commuters. People are asking why the authorities issued licences to these companies to operate in such crowded places.
People are talking about the increasing number of students failing in examinations at the Independent Schools due to changes in grades and options. Parents and guardians are calling for the reinstatement of the old system.
 
People are talking about the “Thank You” initiative for cleaning workers launched by Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid in Dubai. A lot of people in Qatar appreciate the cleaning workers in companies and government departments and are appealing to thank them.
 
People have urged the authorities not to allow professional workers without licences to practice their trade in the country, especially in car repairs, electric works and home maintenance.
