In 1974, when Sri Lanka faced a very serious foreign exchange crisis, Naleem Hajiar donated his foreign exchange worth around Rs. 1.5 million to the Government to overcome the economic crisis in Sri Lanka. He handed over his contribution to the then Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike at the Prime Minister’s official residence as his ‘humble gift’ to the country’s recovery program.
Interesting to reflect upon this during the current Forex crisis.
