NST, 14 December 2005 (pg. 35 - World News) - In Boston, it was reported that a Saudi prince believed to be the wealthiest businessman in the Muslim world has donated US$40 million (RM151million) to Harvard and Georgetown to expand their Islamic studies programmes, the schools announced. Prince Al Waleed Bin Talal Alsaud, who gave US$20 million to each university, is a nephew of the late King Fahd and is worth upward of US$20 billion, according to Forbes magazine, which ranked him fifth on its 2005 list of the world's billionaires - AP. Hmm ... what to say, what to say ...I will leave it up to you to decide how to use the US$40 million (that does not belong to us, of course - but there is no harm in imagining) .. maybe the Pakistani quake victim could use some, maybe a Muslim hospital .. perhaps a Muslim University ... hmmm, aiyaa tak tau lah .. |
