Macquarie to finance Indonesian toll road project
ho hum, you say. aussie bank invests in indonesian toll roads. but wait: the very same day, they announce a major move into a gambling cash cow in Europe ... which means, of course, that indoensian toll roads will be at least partly financed from the proceeds of gambling!!
will this mean that these toll roads will be "haram" to muslims? where does the MUA stand on this? or more interestingly, where does the MMI stand on this issue?
