As discussed in another thread: https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=169485

KSA authorities are these days working on a scheme to replace the personal kafeel system with a new outsourcing companies infrastructure. The plan will be approved by Shura by end of this year and will be rolled out in 2013. (Even now the plan is on the new move for experimentation purposes).

So many things have been put in place, but nothing has come out, removing the sponsorship system, moving the weekend to friday Saturday, labor law reforms.. aah well, the wait continues.
