“Owned by the Government of Bahrain”
Government = ruling family
This sheikh or that sheikh…this thief or that thief…hatha ilbaab 3la hal ’7araba as they say

Are you sure Ali ? By property records you mean the land registration records ? How can that be, is Sh Khalid that powerful to be allowed to own Islands in Bahrain like the big 4 Sheiks?

Valid question. Who can own this island other than the two main shieks?

I don’t think that AlWasat is that stupid to write about this without being supported by an evidence or someone, someone who is very powerful and pissed off and is willing to leak the information to the public.

When you can’t face another giant figure, the simple and easy way is to leak some information about the deal to the press, feed the public with anger and enjoy the show.

A similar scenario has taken place in many occasions in the past and it can repeat itself.

Alwasat response will make things clearer.

I believe he was talking about some cabins around the area, land registration and title deeds aren’t public information.

And by checking the properties records, he’s indeed the owner of Fasht Aljarem (or at least the three Islands shown in the Google Earth’s photo

Al-Waqt is confirming the Akhbar Al-Khaleej news article, which is nothing more than a press release by the Ministry of Municipalities.

Akhbar AlKhaleej’s editor in chief is Anwar Abdulrahman who, as we all know, sucks up to the royals and gov’t more than the PM’s little ass kissers. So, for the newspaper to deny this news by citing the Minister of Agriculture Mansour Bin Rajab means NOTHING. Let me see some proper documentation and solid evidence that this is indeed (and rightly so) the property of the PEOPLE of Bahrain and not Shaikh this or that!

VERY Sickening and Saddening is the least one could say (but not surprising at all as all of Bahraini land has been seized by our beloved royals)! Corruption before our eyes during the era of democracy and people’s rights instituded by His Majesty!

The entire story of selling Fasht AlJarim is officially denied in Today’s Akhbar AlKhaleej. The title deed has been seen by members of the newspaper and confirmed to be still owned by the “Government of Bahrain”.

So what’s new in that? A couple of weeks ago I visited Fasht Aljarem, and I asked the guards about their boss and they said it’s sh. Khalid (ex. Minister of Housing). And by checking the properties records, he’s indeed the owner of Fasht Aljarem (or at least the three Islands shown in the Google Earth’s photo). So there you go.. A ‘private’ owner can do with his ‘private’ properties whatever he wants to! The bottom line.. The whole of Bahrain is a private entity, so don’t get surprised of such sale deal happens :devil:
