في اللهجة السعودية ثمة جماليات خاصة، حيث تُستخدم بعض العبارات على نحو لا يطابق معناها الأصلي. فحين يقول أحدهم لصاحبه كلمة «عفواً»، قد لا يقصد بها طلب المعذرة أو الشكر، بل قد تكون أقرب إلى تعبير عن الدهشة والامتعاض من قولٍ لم يستسغه. وكذلك الحال مع العبارة الشهيرة: «مع كامل احترامي». فهي في ظاهرها تقدير وتوقير، لكنها في واقع الاستخدام الشعبي إنذار مبكر بأن ما يليها سيحمل رأياً مخالفاً وربما قاسياً.
ومع كامل احترامي، فإن ما أقدمن عليه عدد من «مشهورات» التواصل الاجتماعي من ظهور متكلف بكامل الزينة والمكياج، وبملابس لا تتفق مع أعراف المجتمع واشتراطات لائحة الذوق العام، لم يكن سوى انعكاس لمشهد لا يليق. وزاد المشهد تضخيماً أن هذا الظهور ارتبط باستعراض سيارة فارهة بقيمة عشرة ملايين ريال، وكأن مجرد شراء سيارة يُعد إنجازاً يستحق الاحتفالية.
المشكلة ليست في الملبس أو السيارة بذاتها؛ فهذه أمور شخصية في الأصل. لكن الإشكال يكمن في التباهي المفرط وأثره السلبي، حين يقترن بمظهر لا يراعي الذوق العام ولا ينسجم مع القيم السائدة في المجتمع. فحين يظهر الشخص بمظهر متكلف أو لباسٍ غير لائق أمام ملايين المتابعين، فإن الرسالة التي يتلقاها أبناء الوطن ومعهم المقيمون الذين يعيشون بيننا لا تكون عن النجاح والاجتهاد، بل عن اختزال الطموح في زينة عابرة أو سيارة فارهة. وهنا مكمن الخطورة، لأننا نُصدّر صورة لا تليق بوطن يبني مستقبله على أسس من الجدّ والاجتهاد لا على مظاهر الترف والشكليات.
ومع كامل احترامي لدوافع وأسباب ما قمن به هؤلاء المشاهير، فإن محاولة إثبات الذات عبر المظاهر أو المال لا يمكن أن تُقدَّم على أنها نجاح حقيقي. فالنجاح لا يُقاس بالزينة ولا بالسيارات الفارهة، بل بالمنجز الذي يخدم وطنه ويترك أثراً نافعاً في مجتمعه. ووطننا اليوم بقيادته الرشيدة يمضي في مشاريع عملاقة غير مسبوقة، من المدن الذكية إلى الطاقة المتجددة والاقتصاد المتنوع. وهذه المشاريع لا تحتاج إلى جيل مفتون بالمظاهر العابرة، بل إلى جيل واعٍ يحمل على كاهله المسؤوليات الوطنية، ويترجم أحلام القيادة إلى منجزات واقعية تليق بمكانة السعودية بين الأمم.
ومع كامل احترامي، إذا تأملنا في دوافع بعض المشاهير، نجد أن خلفياتهم البسيطة أو المتوسطة قد تجعل الاستعراض بالمال والمظهر وسيلة لإثبات الذات أمام الآخرين. وهذا أمر مفهوم من الناحية النفسية، لكنه في السياق الاجتماعي يخلق صورة مشوشة عن معنى النجاح. فالغنى ليس دوماً بما يُشترى، بل بما لا يُشترى: بالقيم المجتمعية، بالسمعة الطيبة، بالمنجز الذي يخدم الناس ويترك أثراً حقيقياً.
ومن هنا، قد يكون من المناسب أن تتوسع هيئة الإعلام إلى جانب ضبط المخالفات في جانب الإرشاد والتثقيف، لتذكير الجيل الجديد أن النجاح الحقيقي ليس ثوباً فخماً ولا سيارة فارهة ولا مظهراً متكلفاً، بل قيمة يعيشها الإنسان ويُخلدها المجتمع.
ومع كامل احترامي مرة أخرى، فإن المنظرة بهذا الشكل ليست حرية شخصية كما قد يُظن، بل هي تجاوز يمس الذوق العام ويؤثر على صورة المجتمع بأسره. فالدولة التي ترسم مستقبلها بجهد وجد ورغبة حقيقية في تطوير الاقتصاد ونجاح المشروع التنموي، لا يمكن أن يُختزل طموحها في سيارة وزينة ومقطع عابر على وسائل التواصل.
وهنا يأتي دور هيئة الإعلام التي تابعت المشهد وتعاملت معه سريعاً، لتعليق رخصة «موثوق» الخاصة بها. خطوة مشكورة وضرورية، لكنها ليست جوهر القضية. فالعبرة ليست في الرخصة بحد ذاتها، بل في أن ما جرى كشف لنا كيف يمكن لسلوك فردي أن يُصدّر رسالة سلبية لملايين، وكيف أن الانضباط بالذوق العام هو حماية للمجتمع كله لا تقييداً لأفراده.
وأخيراً ومع كامل احترامي، فإن تعليق الرخصة قد يبدو للبعض إجراء عابراً، لكنه في جوهره تذكيرٌ بأننا في وطن لا يُترك فيه المجال الإعلامي للعبث، وأن الشهرة ليست غاية في ذاتها، بل مسؤولية. ومن يظن أن الطريق إلى النجاح يمر عبر استعراض سيارة بملايين الريالات وزينة عابرة، فليتأمل وطناً بأكمله يمتطي صهوة المستقبل الحقيقي، مبشّراً بمشاريع تلو الأخرى، ومنجزات حقيقية للوصول للمكانة الحقيقية التي يستحقها وطننا الغالي.

In the Saudi dialect, there are unique aesthetics, where certain phrases are used in a way that does not match their original meaning. When someone says "Excuse me" to a friend, they may not mean it as a request for forgiveness or thanks, but rather as an expression of surprise and discontent at something they found unpalatable. The same goes for the famous phrase: "With all due respect." On the surface, it conveys appreciation and esteem, but in popular usage, it serves as an early warning that what follows will carry a differing and possibly harsh opinion.
With all due respect, what a number of "influencers" on social media have done by appearing ostentatiously adorned with full makeup and wearing clothes that do not align with societal norms and the requirements of the public decorum regulations, was nothing but a reflection of an unworthy scene. The situation was further exaggerated by the fact that this appearance was linked to showcasing a luxury car worth ten million riyals, as if merely purchasing a car is an achievement worthy of celebration.
The problem is not in the clothing or the car itself; these are personal matters at their core. However, the issue lies in the excessive boasting and its negative impact when it is associated with a demeanor that does not respect public taste or align with the prevailing values in society. When a person appears in an ostentatious manner or inappropriate clothing in front of millions of followers, the message received by the citizens and residents living among us is not about success and diligence, but rather about reducing ambition to fleeting adornments or a luxury car. Herein lies the danger, as we project an image unworthy of a nation that builds its future on foundations of hard work and diligence, not on appearances of luxury and superficiality.
With all due respect to the motives and reasons behind what these celebrities have done, the attempt to prove oneself through appearances or money cannot be presented as true success. Success is not measured by adornment or luxury cars, but by achievements that serve one’s country and leave a beneficial impact on society. Today, our nation, under its wise leadership, is moving forward with unprecedented giant projects, from smart cities to renewable energy and a diversified economy. These projects do not require a generation enamored with fleeting appearances, but rather a conscious generation that carries national responsibilities and translates the leadership's dreams into tangible achievements worthy of Saudi Arabia's status among nations.
With all due respect, if we reflect on the motives of some celebrities, we find that their simple or moderate backgrounds may make flaunting wealth and appearance a means of self-affirmation before others. This is understandable from a psychological perspective, but in the social context, it creates a distorted image of what success means. Wealth is not always about what can be bought, but about what cannot be bought: societal values, a good reputation, and achievements that serve people and leave a real impact.
From here, it may be appropriate for the media authority to expand, alongside regulating violations, to include guidance and education, to remind the new generation that true success is not a luxurious garment, a luxury car, or an ostentatious appearance, but a value that a person lives and that society immortalizes.
And with all due respect once again, this kind of ostentation is not personal freedom as some might think, but rather a transgression that affects public taste and impacts the image of society as a whole. A state that is charting its future with effort, determination, and a genuine desire to develop the economy and succeed in its developmental projects cannot have its ambitions reduced to a car, adornment, and a fleeting clip on social media.
Here comes the role of the media authority, which monitored the scene and dealt with it swiftly by suspending the "Mawthuq" license. This is a commendable and necessary step, but it is not the essence of the issue. The lesson is not in the license itself, but in what transpired revealing how an individual behavior can send a negative message to millions, and how adherence to public taste is a protection for the entire community, not a restriction on its individuals.
Finally, with all due respect, the suspension of the license may seem to some as a fleeting measure, but at its core, it serves as a reminder that we are in a nation where the media space is not left to frivolity, and that fame is not an end in itself, but a responsibility. Those who think that the road to success passes through flaunting a car worth millions of riyals and fleeting adornments should reflect on an entire nation that is riding the true wave of the future, heralding project after project, and achieving real accomplishments to reach the true status that our dear country deserves.
