Driver's License 2008 (Part Two)

In Part One I talked about me finally passing the test and how difficult it is to get your license these days. I talked about the difference in the system today from what it was a few months back and the disadvantages of it. I also talked about the sponsors that were put on the ticket which I later found out that they were not actually sponsors but only Bank Muscat's logo because the Royal Oman Police (ROP) deals with them financially.

I promised to talk more about this in terms of the media coverage and the difference between the Arabic and English coverage.
I don't have much documentations and images to prove what I am saying but many who live here in Oman will confirm that what I am saying is true. So, you'll have to take my word for it.

In the past few months we've noticed that this issue has become more and more out to the open. More people are aware about it and talking about it. The media has played a major role in this and to be fair, the Arabic media played a bigger role.
One media source which really caught my attention and really brought this issue out to the open were the Arabic radio stations. One station in particular which gives people the chance to call and report a problem that they are facing with the country's official sectors is Shabab FM.
Every Morning (on week days I think) people call with problems that they are facing and give their complaints. Their complaints are recorded and kept for an official from that sector to call back on a later time live on the radio to answer these problems and take action.
I've encountered people calling many times to complain about the license situation but the officials almost always deny the problem and say that they give the license to who deserves it which is pretty much what they told me when I called last year.

At least the Arabic media is talking about this problem. The English media, on the other hand, never talks about it. You can never call the English radio stations with serious problems like these and their newspapers always tries to avoid the problem.
Last year in September 2007, there was an article written in TheWeek weekly newspaper about this problem. It was a front-page story and I was really excited to read what they had to say about it.
After reading it, I was really disappointed. I thought they were finally raising awareness on this hornets' nest but no, instead they put all the blame on the instructor. Now, I won't sit here and say that the instructor has nothing to do with this and that all blame goes to the ROP but they haven't mentioned the ROP not even once.
Here is a direct download link to the PDF file of the article.

I don't know why this is the case with the English media. If the Arabic media is aloud to talk about it, why can't the English media do the same? What is the difference? If it's illegal here, shouldn't it be illegal there too?
