Generous Donor Contributes 21 Kilograms of Gold Worth Over 112 Million Baht to Repair Osaka Water System

Osaka has received an extraordinary donation of 21 kilograms of gold from an anonymous benefactor, specifically intended to support maintenance of the city's deteriorating water system. Osaka Mayor Hideyuki Yokoyama expressed profound gratitude during a press conference, describing the donation as "absolutely staggering." The contribution comes after reports that water pipe replacement projects in Osaka were facing financial challenges, with actual costs exceeding the original budget.
