A heated argument broke out during yesterday’s Northern Municipal Council meeting over the closure of the service application building in Budaiya. Council President Shubbar Al Wadaei and Council Member Abdullah Mubarak clashed after Mubarak and Mohammed Saad Al Dosari called for the building’s reopening.
They argued that the closure affects citizens adversely, particularly the elderly and disabled, who find digital systems and frequent data updates challenging.
Mubarak and Al Dosari argued that the closure forces vulnerable groups to face difficult digital transitions and frequent updates, calling for the removal of the data update requirement.
Mubarak also accused the municipalities of not cooperating with the council. The debate soon escalated into a quarrel where Al Wadaei told both Al Dosari and Mubarak, “You are both copies of the same thing,” which angered Mubarak.
He repeatedly said, “Respect yourself,” and warned, “If you say it again, there will be consequences,” leading Al Wadaei to instruct that the recording be stopped. Other council members intervened to end the dispute, but Mubarak remained firm, stating, “I know he meant something else with his words.”
