“I’m apologizing to the people of Japan for this political uneasiness,” Maehara said at a Tokyo news conference.
Under Japanese law, politicians cannot accept any money from foreigners. The money given to Maehara – 50,000 yen ($600) – came from a lifelong friend. [Source]
Some ministers in Lebanon might think that’s some joke. I mean come on resigning over $600? “Yotro2lo kam malyoun la te7riz”.
haha man every lebanese should visit japan.
when you see how people are there, saying lebanese people are animals would be an insult to animals
Najib, the source article mentions $3000, that is serious…not $600, imagine how many Unicas our former PM can buy if he stole $3000…. well you don’t need to imagine, calculate, it should be 180,000 UNICAS if each chocowaferbar still costs 250 l.l. that’s a lot of UNICAS
Ronman,
He admitted getting paid 600$, his politician opponents are claiming it is up to 3000$ and it is still a ridiculous amount!
Now I am craving more Unicas!
Oh man, but come to think of it i would take 180,000 unicas over 3600 unicas any day of the week… but really now, there are 176,400 Unicas unaccounted for then in Japanese electoral campaigning. that’s a lot of Unicas to be accused of wanting to eat…
gonna go get some more Unicas once the rain stops and i can get to the dikken without getting drenched…
