1: he Expenditure involved in such grand projects could have been used for the poorest for uplifting them from utter poverty and hunger,but men as usual have become such snobs,that for showing off they spend in such volumes, never can be imagined,those are spend thrifts who has brought the international crisis of depravity for millions of people who are unable to make the two ends meet.How god reacts to those guys involved will be a thing to watch with interest.
