You can’t even donate in peace

January 9, 2006

You can’t even donate to a charity organization in peace these days, or so it seems.
Lebanese billionaire Dr Elie Youssef Najem, has encountered some difficulties after
donating US$275mil (RM1.04bil) donation for cancer research.

“I come from a very important family in the Middle East and my donations to the National Cancer Council (Makna) involves people high up in Malaysian society.”

Normally i wouldn’t bother about this type of things, but appearantly in today’s evening news,
the billionaire’s claims of owning several (95 to be exact) businesses in malaysia have turned out to be a hoax.

more info on this matter avaiable on The Star.
