Uray was Chinese-Indonesian from his parents' nationalities. Where is the evidence that he was ever granted Malaysian citizenship? Perhaps he was only ever a resident, and not a citizen. WWGB (talk) 01:10, 13 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
@WWGB: Sources do not specifically say he was a Malaysian citizen, but he grew up there (between ages 6 to 25), made many donations there, was granted the Malaysian state title Dato' Sri, and was buried there after his death. -Zanhe (talk) 01:30, 13 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

This individual made billions destroying the forests of Indonesia and elsewhere, and here we see him identified as a "philanthropist." Maybe the non-gullible among us might want to see how many hectares of the world's irreplaceable wilderness fed this rapacious species of "philanthropy."
