Harvard University versus local universities?

1. The University of Harvard (Harvard University) is very well known in the world. 
2. It offers various programs to accommodate multi levels of potential students.
3. And, it is reported that most of the MBA holders from Harvard University are very successful in their careers.
4. Some of the Harvard Alumni are the key figures in various industries, top politicians, multi billionaire and so on and so forth.
5. This morning, I received an email forwarded by top management.
6. A link of an article published by the Harvard Alumni Office about one their alumni, John Alfred Paulson.
7. He has pledged to contribute USD$400 million to one of the schools in Harvard University.
8. As I predicted, this multi billionaire is a successful hedge fund manager.
9. He has obtained a scholarship from from  Sidney J. Weinberg/Goldman Sachs in 1980 to enter Harvard University.
10. His details can be read from wikipedia.
11. To compare the philanthropies in Malaysia and western countries seems very ridiculous.
12. I always attend a monthly meeting with Alumni Centre Directors of public and private universities.
13. The issues of donations and contributions from alumni to universities always being discussed.
14. Even, in my universities, some of the head of departments also  always voiced out their concerns about the lack of commitment to contribute back to university by the alumni.
15. I just smile.....because some of them also graduated from local/public universities.
16. They are not even contribute back to their alma maters....... in terms of consistent money donation.
    
17. Interestingly, some suggest salary deduction should be implemented.....ha ha...ha....
18. p/s: an interesting fact, that there are some people are reluctant to pay maintenance fee of their housing gated-property........and they are the ones who make so much noises about contribution......
