New laws to save Bhikkus: welcome sign

The proposal to introduce new laws to punish those who abuse the sacred yellow robe is a welcome sign and it is also the need of the hour as certain persons have been using it for material gains, though it is business, politics or practices of occult.
No genuine bhikku would resist this move as it would not affect true bhikkus.  After all, the power of these laws to be vested in senior members of the Bhikku Sasana and, there are no instances where laymen involved in discharging the law.
As laymen, we see the bhikku society is engaged in various consumerist and materialistic affairs which is causing disappointment. So much so that I am compelled to find out the background of a bhikku beforehand if I am to greet him by kneeling down before the monk.  I guess many laymen have this suspicion and for a layman to have such thought would affect his religious feelings.
Therefore to purify the Sasana, the new laws will definitely be helpful.

Doha outskirts a death knell

Walking on public roads in the outskirts is a death knell. Many young drivers are at the wheel while using mobile phone or eating (not during Ramadaan). They never head for pedestrians, and the road network is like a cob-web. It is everywhere, you cant imagine from which side the demons arrive, and they never use signals. When you want to cross the road, wait at a bumper until they rush, or put your hand on and stop them before you enter the road. Yesterday, I saw an old gent stopped his car, even not at a bumper, and gesturing a man to cross, that was on Muither Commercial street.
