UAE expat employees should not need an I.D. card!

What is the world coming to? Next we will have to get permission from the government to go on holiday let alone from our employers!

Yes I.D. cards may make us safer as a nation but what about passports? Has the government forgotten about them? Are I.D. cards not just another item that can be easily lost or stolen and that require a lot of admin to manage and replace?

I.D. cards give the criminals of this world another avenue to explore in seeking personal details on a nation.

The objective behind the cards is also unclear – is this the new form of work permit?

It’s a bit harsh to be told you have to have one or face deportation!

Recruiters are said to be under pressure also – if their employees do not have them then they could run in to legal difficulties.

Where do you stand on I.D. cards?

It is better and safer to abide by the rules of the country of residence.
Poverty has eased in certain countries, thanks to remittances from Gulf states such as the UAE.

The threat of terrorism and religious conflicts has been intensifying around the world since the attack on the World Trade Centers in the USA. Countries in South-East Asia have suffered from car bombs, hostages-taking and increasing local insurgency. Recently, Thailand has seen tensed situations in the three Southern provinces in which break-down of intelligence gathering systems has been blamed for the failure in preventing the attacks and ambushes by local separatists. Consequently, the Thai government implemented the smart ID card policy in order to improve public services, enable electronic transactions and facilitate counter terrorism effort. The report by the British House of Commons’ Home Affairs Select Committee has expressed concerns over the ID card scheme in the UK and there has been a great deal of debate and discussion on the impacts on human rights, privacy and liberty. However, this paper looks at the smart card scheme in Thailand from a Buddhist perspective; whether there is any Buddhist justification in support of such a policy. Relevant Buddhist concepts will be the framework for investigating whether the smart card scheme, its objectives, and implementation process are objectionable or acceptable from a Buddhist perspective.

Well, I see no reason why not using the i.d cards they have. Anyhow, the method it used should be as little "privacy harmer" as it could be. They totally be sensitive to the people that are taking part of this.
