saya update setelah mendapat sentilan dari teman saya melalui sms "jangan suka menulis berita hoax"
Membaca berita ini pertama kali saya sendiri seperti tidak percaya. Karena memang rencananya itu belum terjadi atau uang dan uang makan itu belum dibagikan dan kemungkinan kalau rencana itupun gagal bisa juga terjadi. tapi karena berita itu saya dapat dari KUNA Agen beritanya Kuwait jadi saya berani menulisnya, bukan dari situs ecek-ecek. Tapi yang jelas adalah bahwa isu pembagian uang kepada warga Kuwait itu benar-benar ada dan menjadi berita hangat di Kuwait. karena hari ini juga 18 Januari 2011 beberapa media di Kuwait juga mengangkat head line tentang isu pembagian KD1000 kepada warga Kuwait. terlepas rencana itu akan benar-benar terealisasi atau tidaknya.
