Whenever an incident concerning an unskilled expatriate worker involved in a crime is reported in the press, it is usually followed by calls warning against the threat of these people among our society. After reading enough of these generalised warnings against the unskilled and semi-skilled expatriate workforce in Saudi Arabia, I have to ask this question: Can we really get by without their presence?
Before I answer that question myself, let me list some of the activities these workers are engaged in. To begin with, our municipal workers are exclusively comprised of large numbers of expatriates industriously engaged in keeping our roads and cities clean, and our trash carted away. As our cities strain from a growing population, so does the amount of litter and rubbish that has to be catered to, and it is being judiciously done by the guest worker.
