TOKYO, Feb 19 — Osaka has received an unusual donation — 21 kilograms of gold — to pay for the maintenance of its ageing water system, the Japanese commercial hub announced Thursday.
The donation worth US$3.6 million was made in November by a person who a month earlier had already given US$3,300 in cash for the municipal waterworks, Osaka Mayor Hideyuki Yokoyama told a press conference.
“It’s an absolutely staggering amount,” said Yokoyama, adding that he was lost for words to express his gratitude.
“I was shocked.”
The donor wished to remain anonymous, the mayor said.
