I know a couple people here have been wondering if Lee Myung-Bak was going to fulfill his campaign promise to donate his entitre personal savings to charity.

Apparently he has done just that today, creating a scholarship fund for students from low-income families:

Wait, wait. Where's that guy who shows up every couple months to complain about how 2MB is a liar and isn't donating his pay?

the fund will be titled the Lee & Kim Foundation in English

I was just trying to recall his name.

No doubt, he'll be silent on this issue.
