It was rumor for last 4/5 years. This is the first time officially announced. Hope it will be implemented as Bahrain did it from May-2010 & Kuwait going to do it from February-2011. Both parties (Employer & Employee) will be benefited. More competetion will be there in searching of job. Employee & employer will have lot of options choose in. Probably salary package will go down due to huge application (As all expats free to move) for an advertised position from skilled, semi-skilled & even from fresh graduates.
