Exactly. I was just shocked to see that we are second to the US. Just imagine how many mouths our country feeds aside from our Saudi Arabian aid that is one of the biggest in the world as well.

Despite that we still have ungrateful clowns around thinking that we can save the entire Muslim world or world while they do nothing and just sit back and wait for the aid/initiatives to reach their noses so they afterwards can criticize. Just silence them and tell them to find another country willing to do what we do if we are that bad.

Most of these remittance do not end up being utilized properly at home due to restriction in investment by Saudi law therefore there is no choice but to remit them back home. Open investment for foreigners and 80% of these remittances will stay at home!
