KUWAIT CITY: Malaysia has announced an initial pledge of US$100,000 (RM389,270) for the reconstruction of Iraq, said the Foreign Ministry in a statement.

“For many years, the Iraqi people endured many terrible trials and torments and have also experienced great hardship as the battles against the Islamic State militant group devastated their country.

“Malaysia realises the complex challenges faced by the Iraqi government. 

“The needs can be far more critical than what we think. 

 

 

“Therefore, it is imperative upon us and the international community to mobilise, expedite and promote an inclusive approach towards Iraq’s reconstruction,” the statement said.

The statement was read out by the ministry’s deputy secretary-general, Kennedy Jawan during the Ministerial Level Meeting at the Kuwait International Conference for the Reconstruction of Iraq on Wednesday.

yea, I can't see what a 100000 will buy. Should be a minimum buy in. They are probably going to get some sort of revenue from this. Either Malaysian  labor or produce. For that kind of money, Iraq should buy 5 bags of rice.
