Hi, I wanted to thank the Japanese people for their continued support of this country. However, I find it pretty sad and shameful. Pakistan needs to get past asking for aid and learn to stand on its own feet. I just find it embarrassing that the goverment (not the people) of a country of 180M goes around begging for aid, even from countries experiencing calamities.

 

[ZaYYaF]

Japanese people truly have a big heart! Respect for them!

 

[twoplustwoisfour]

What's the quantum of aid from Japan to Pakistan?

 

[Tshering22]

Japanese are truly respectful of humanity. Hats off to them!

 

[Haseebullah]

Hats off to our Japanese brothers.

my question to the pakistani govt and pakistan army is, you build reactors, missiles, nuclear bombs, buy million dollars f-16s and making squadrons of jf-17s and buying ships, f-22s etc, also pakistanis also want latest techs, ten u use the same bombs and f-16s on pakistanis, those poor pakistanis whose homes arnt ever properly built there is a talk about insisting for nuclear subs, aircraft carriers, tipu icbm, etc etc and what not??, the missiles which worth so much are being tested on daily bases??, on one hand americans are destroying every god damn pakistani settlement in KP...

what shame it is that still the govt and army people get the hihest subsidy for their allowance, their million dollar homes, executive presidential house looking at which the sheikhs and white house will envy, so much poverty and so much expenditure on luxuries for few people, and nukes and missiles, truely a shamefull stuff...be ashamed of being a pakistani always for 63 yrs

Why? so the poor people can suffer even more? Cutting aid wont solve a single problem in Pakistan.

No not because poor should suffer because Pakistan is a sovereign state blessed with enough talent & enough resources .. why cant pakistanis get back on their feet rather than asking the world for money .... where does the ghairat brigade disappears when it comes to foreign aids ?
