Myanmar’s neglect doesn’t mean Saudis shouldn’t participate

IT’s not often that I devote an entire column to a single reader’s specific concern. But Paul Lin’s plea to do something for the victims of Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar’s Irrawaddy Delta touched my heart and moved me.
Lin is the general manager for a construction company in Riyadh who keeps up his Islamic studies in his spare time. A Canadian, he doesn’t speak Arabic, so his efforts to encourage Saudis to send more aid to Myanmar have been less than successful.
