Oppression by a Saudi Employer ‘Khalifa Al-Saif’

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

 I, Syed Ali Mohammed Faris – Sri lankan citizen age 57 worked in ‘Khalifa Al-Saif Motors’ (Franchise Jaguar Land Rover in Saudi Arabia) for last 17 years as stock controller. I was terminated in Dec 2010 without one month notice period and service benefits for 17 years worth about SR 40,000 ($10,666). I kept on following up with management but Mr. Amer Sohail Rammay – National Finance and Admin Manager was giving me false hopes and promises to wait until chairman Mr. Khalifa Al-Saif got out of prison. Mr. Khalifa was approving all financial transactions and salaries from prison but never signed my cheque for service benefits. Mr. Khalifa Al-Saif was released from jail few months back and I met him inorder to let my dues be cleared and to give me release or exit visa to go back to my country but he never listened to me and told me to contact Mr. Amer Sohail Rammay. Both of them did not help me at all.

In Jan 2012, I reserved air ticket twice to go back to Sri Lanka to attend the wedding of my eldest daughter but Mr. Amer Sohail Rammay was giving me false promises and did not arrange my exit re-entry visa. Finally, I could not attend my daughter’s wedding! Two months ago, I faced an accident and my spinal cord got fractured. I was advised for an urgent operation but did not have means for that. Neither I have medical insurance from sponsor nor I have SR55,000 to pay for this operation. Again, I requested Mr. Khalifa and Mr.Amer to help me in getting medical treatment but they ignored as usual. I then approached labour court but no one showed up from employer’s side in the hearings. The court wrote to Al-Naseem police to present my employer in court and even they failed to provide me justice. Some local guy from my employer’s side approached me and threatened that Mr. Khalifa Al-Saif would ship me back to Sril Lanka forcefully and I would be banned from re-entering into Saudi Arabia for five years. Recently, labour court’s representative informed me that I was late to file a case against my employer so, in other words, he apologised. Surprisingly, the Saudi labour court informed this after filing my case and writing to Al-Naseem police… The law for a poor expatriate with no wasta (reference) changed overnight! At present my status is; I with fractured spinal cord have empty pockets, no income, no permanent shelter, no release from my employer (Khalifa Al-Saif Motors), no final exit from my employer, expired Saudi residence permit, no passport to travel as my passport is withheld by my employer and no clearance of my service benefits by my employer while my family in Sri Lanka has lost hopes to see me ever!!!

After all, what’s my mistake???

    The true story of Faris,

    Mr. Syed Ali Mohammed Faris, this gentleman joined Al Saif Motors on 3rd April, 1994 and remained till 13th December, 2010 mainly serving as stock controller cum driver. He used to drive Al Saif family vehicels and has been very close to family. During his services there have been ups and down where

    He was involved in a theft along with other two employees and was reported to Al Naseem police. Later it was resolved by charging the cost of stolen items to their salaries. He resumed his duties in result of blessings from an Al Saif family member.
    05th June, 2000 terminated due to negligence but later resumed on job, once again blessings from a memeber of Al Saif family.
    29th August, 2004 got warning from HR for using company vehicle while getting transportation allowance at the same time,
    12th November, 2008 got exit due to disappearing from job for more than three consective week. It was later cancelled by chairman himself.
    issued termination letter December, 13th 2010 upon his request as his iqama was stuck in Jawazat for renewal due to not getting updated earlier exit & cancellation of exit and he requested that he be terminated and be sent for exit.
    During notice period his iqama problem resolved and he turn from his request to go on exit and escaped.
    He also gave statement in court against chairman and then he took it back saying he was forced and misled by Dawood Fateh & Lulwa Al Malhouk . He got a special allowance of SR 500/- per month for favor and leaving the gang of Dawood Fateh & Lulwa Al Malhouk, he received this allowance till December, 2010.
    During his disappearance which is more than 2 years ,
    He opened his own workshop and failed
    Tried to get job in different places but could not , mainly due to his age

    In January 2012, he appeared and requested to go on Exit re entry ,wanted to go for his daughter’s engagement which later turns into marriage. He was told that due to his unknown absesnce and his statement against chairman , approval from chairman is must. Chairman came out from prison in Feb and asked Faris to give a detailed statement to court about his absence, his false statement againt chairman and he can go. Instead of doing so he disapear again. During that period while traveling from Dammam he took a ride in trailer which met with an accident and as per him he suffered neck injuries. With a collar on his neck, he came few times to office as well but was tolf the same above. So he decided to go back to gang. The gang took best advantage of him and start publishing statements on internet.

    The only fault company committed is not full filled his wish & did not sent him on exit re entry, he tried almost all Al Saif family members known to him but as it was directly invloved with chairman, he could not manage it.

    The above stated is backed up with documented evidences which can be checked in arab news who approached about Faris upon gang’s complaint but refused once explained.

  9. Khalifa is violator of human rights. Faris isn’t alone, six employees in Dammam fought for five years, many staff members in jeddah, supervisor of Abha, cashier of riyadh, customer care of riyadh, IT manager and parts manager, even accounts department staff of head office and many more never received end of service rights and few received after long court fight.

    What a shame,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Khalifa is hiding in UK since 2018 and trying to get permanent residential status. Jail is waiting for him back home. We all must urge, UK immigration not to grant him resident status. He is not fit for our community.

    I was General Manager of Khalifa and in last ten years hundreds of employees contacted me, seeking help to get their end of service and other basic rights.

    Al Saif Group is a shame,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  10. Hi Khalifa,

    I wonder if you are still in contact with Colonel Saad Dusari.

    You will remember you held his passport when he sent it down to Riyadh for Nukhba to get a Chinese visa in his passport. You then tried to blackmail him into signing for additional work at Hafr al Batin at hugely inflated prices to generate more profit for Nukhba by withholding the passport, and lying about where the passport was when it was in your possession.

    When you will be sending Amer to Spain to cover your money laundering

    I suggest you and Amer should prepare some schedules to account for the cash money, around £ 7 million or so that came out of the Opal ten project and where it went.

    HMRC will no doubt be interested in examining the records for the cash that came through UK banks, as there is no time bar on money laundering. Especially these days with the emphasis on overseas accounts. as Spain is in the EU there is probably a tax treaty to share this sort of information between the UK and other countries when the sums are material

    Obviously as well this is relevant to the USA tax department.

    Even more so now with Trusts in Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Luxembourg being under the spotlight. may be your Tier 1 visa get cancelled

  11. Khalifa’s application for indefinite leave to remain (settlement) in UK must be refused. Khalifa is Oppressor and serious violator of human rights

    Khalifa oppressed all the Senior Managers at Al Saif Motors (all British Nationals)

    Holding Neil Oxley, his pregnant wife and 2 children against their will from leaving Saudi Arabia and forcing him to pay tens of thousands of Saudi Riyals as compensation for the damage caused when he had an accident in a company car, when ASM had already been compensated by their insurance company.

    Holding Tony Bonja against his will when he had to leave for emergency matters with his family, (i.e., his ex-­‐wife had a nervous breakdown and his children were being taken care of by social services) as Khalifa wanted him to repay his recruitment fee and the salaries he was paid by ASM.

    Holding Tom Sutton against his will because Khalifa wanted him to repay his recruitment fee and the salaries he was paid by ASM.

    I worked with the British Embassy in Riyadh to secure the exit of Mr. Oxley and his wife and Mr. Bonja. Mr. Sutton managed to escape from Saudi Arabia by being smuggled into Bahrain and travelled to the UK from there.

    At the time, I was asked by Mr. Khalifa to fabricate evidence against Mr. Oxley, Mr. Bonja and Mr. Sutton in order to create some evidence that they had stolen money from the company.

    There are numerous other examples of the oppression exercised by Mr. Khalifa against his employees.

    By way of personal example, in the summer of 2006 Mr. Khalifa showed me some emails I had written and he made me listen to recordings from my mobile phone and told me that he is watching every move I make.

    Authorities can verify my words from Mr. Oxley, Mr. Bonja and Mr. Sutton

  12. Khalifa “Arms Dealer and Bagman”

    Khalifa received $100 million in commission from an arms deal in the first gulf war. This payment ($100 m) was hiding offshore in a secret bank account with UBS in Switzerland and also through a £10 million investment in a London property at Cadogan place (his present residence), through a secret trust in Lichtenstein named ‘Black Pearl’.

    Khalifa used offshore companies, not local Saudi ones, as he did not trust the authorities. He also wanted to conceal everything from his wife Lulwa and family. Khalifa set up an offshore company in the Channel Islands for his investment in ‘Carolina Phone’. He kept this investment and profits away from his wife.

    Khalifa introduced high profile connections to UBS who wanted their deposits. He always claimed that he had good relationship with Saudi elite. Mr. Khalifa was taking commissions from wherever he could and acted as a ‘bagman’.

    Brazenly, he defied the law and acted as a commission agent as a “cut out”. He secured agencies for military equipment to sell into and out of Saudi Arabia. Khalifa did not care what happened to the weapons or where they were used. He held meetings in London with representatives of a Lebanese group and a South African arms company, concerning arms for the Middle East.

  13. British Courts should be careful from Khalifa,,,,,,,,,,” Khalifa is master of forgery”

    Khalifa had the agency for Vickers and OMC. Khalifa introduced the OMC range to SANG (Saudi Arabian National Guard) with permission from OMC.

    OMC was then bought by BAe and Khalifa was told, for internal reasons, the agency would not be renewed it would terminate when the contract expired.

    Khalifa asked for an extension which was refused.

    • The front page of the contract was then retyped by Tarek Shabaan Khalifa’s secretary.

    • This contract was sent to BAe by Khalifa to support the valid claim that Khalifa should receive commission on
    the sale to SANG.

    • A letter was sent from Khalifa by fax and courier to OMC that they must provide an RG-12, that letter says there
    is a valid distribution agreement. Khalifa said directly and then through his lawyers Mayer Brown Rowe and Maw
    that this agreement is valid and correct,

    • Then Khalifa sent the agreement to Paul Edwards at OMC,

    • This was followed up again. Partly because of the OMC/Grintek project.

    • BAe reported through their solicitors that they had passed the copy of the agreement to AddleShaw Goddard.

    • Yet again Khalifa confirmed the Agreement was genuine and it had been signed in Riyadh.

    • Further Mahmoud Medhat acting as Khalifa’s lawyer confirmed this again to both lawyers in the UK.
    Naturally these supporting documents are helpful to anyone investigating this

    Khalifa tried to say he did not forge the first page, despite all the previous statements to his lawyers that the document is valid and was signed in his presence.

    Later, Khalifa asked me to swear that the forgery was committed by Lulwa his ex-wife, this is a complete fabrication but Khalifa seem to want to cause her damage and harm. Poor lady, how she spent 22 years with Khalifa

  16. Recently, somewhere in October, Amer flew all the way to Colombo from Pakistan and managed to reach Faris where he convince Faris to sign a statement in favor of Khalifa. Amer is awarded a cash bounty of USD 10,000 by Khalifa upon success of assignment. Khalifa is using this statement in a case he is pursuing in UK courts for removal of this website. Khalifa is spending tens of thousands of dollars left and right but doesn’t want to pay anything to poor Faris. Khalifa’s lawyer Alec is approached by Faris for his money but Alec is hiding is from court.

    Such evil mind (Khalifa) should never be accepted as a British national. Khalifa must be deported to Saudi where he can treat people like slaves.

  17. I am Syed Ali Mohammed Faris Sri Lankan national holding ID number 55 218 4386 and passport number 5120022. I am residing at 130/15, Dole Road, Matale, Sri Lanka. I am writing to you regrading website

    Oppression by a Saudi Employer ‘Khalifa Al-Saif’

    The subjected website claims a statement from me, although the facts in statement are true, but it contains a lot of defamation material which is not related to me. This website has never been created by me nor I have any association with it or any of its contents. It contains more than twenty slides containing pictures of some Saudi, British and other nationals along with some other slide with images of some documents. The statement describes my situation back in 2012 and talk about my End of Service Benefits which are not paid till today. Since this website was published in 2012, there is a huge number of comments from many people where they are defaming the company “Alsaif Group (ASG)” and its management, particularly its Chairman Khalifa Al Saif.

    I left the ASG and Saudi Arabia in 2012 and have been in Sri Lanka since then. I was never aware of this website till recently. The company approached me through one of their representatives and asked me to remove the website and its contents otherwise they are going to take legal action against me in Sri Lanka for defamation of ASG & its management. They also informed me that they already have filed a case in UK for removal of this website. I replied to them that I have no connection with the website and can not remove it. Seeing their aggressiveness, I contacted a lawyer in Colombo and gave my statement that I have no relation with this website and its contents (a copy of same is enclosed herewith). I provided a copy of my statement to ASG.

    As a matter of fact, I don’t want this website to be removed until and unless, I receive my rights. But at the same time, I don’t want it to be used for defamation of anyone. It is close to impossible for me to create any such website and attract so much traffic towards it therefore I want to have control of this website so that I may remove all defamation content from it and leave or add the content that talks about my rights only. I am very old now (68 years) and, in this age, it is very hard for me to make any living for me and my old wife. I have seen very hard times in last 10 years.

    Khalifa Al Saif has applied for UK residence and this website can affect his application. I am sure, I can bargain my rights with him against removal of this website and can make my last period of life peaceful. I need your help to get my long-awaited rights. You are requested to provide me login credentials of this website that is “User Name & Password” so that I may control it and make it work for rightful purpose. You can contact me via mobile and can have a video call with me to verify my identity.

    Regards,

    Syed Ali Muhammad Faris

  18. Khalifa is stealing money in millions from Lulwa

    I was surprised on hearing from ex manager of saudi ministry of health

    Ministry released about SAR 50 million in last ten years to noukhba medical company where khalifa and lulwa are partners 75/25

    Khalifa pocketed all these funds likely through financial tricks of Amer otherwise cheques were issued in noukhba’s name. To my knowledge lulwa is entitled SAR 12.5 million

    Earlier khalifa sold all assets of noukhba and pocketed millions

    To hide these embezzlements, khalifa never prepared noukhba accounts after 2008

    There is no one to investigate, most likely everyone in ministry is getting fair share

    I urge khalifa should be deported from UK as such filth can infect our system too

  19. I am pleased to inform all the readers of this blog that I am sharing with great pride the news that Amir and Khalifa are currently in a dispute. I have been eagerly awaiting this development for a period of 12 years.

    Amir has recently returned to his home country in 2021, but it appears that he had been working for Khalifa. However, to everyone’s surprise, Khalifa has stopped paying Amir and has even refused to provide him with his end of service payment. It is worth mentioning that the amount owed is quite substantial, considering Amir’s long tenure of 25 years or more with Khalifa. Amir has somehow managed to involve the Pakistan embassy in order to retrieve his money, and surprisingly, the embassy is actively pursuing the matter. They have made several visits to Khalifa’s office, but unfortunately, Khalifa has chosen to ignore their requests. As a result, they have now approached the Riyadh governor’s office for assistance. According to my sources, Amir is currently in discussions with various parties, including the Ministry of Interior, Muhaidb, Naghi, and other opponents of Khalifa. It would not be surprising if Amir decides to sell off Khalifa in order to recover his money. We can anticipate something significant happening in the coming months.

    Rest assured, I will continue to provide updates on this matter.
