Minggu lepas bertemu dengan Dr. Sulaiman dan berbual panjang. Memang dia seorang yang peramah.

Tidak terkejut membaca berita dibawah mengenai nenek Presiden Barrack Obama, Mama Sarah Obama akan naik haji bersama Dr. Sulaiman!

Menarik sekali berita ini, terutama bagaimana media USA akan menjadikan isu....

HAJJ TRIP: Sulaiman Al Fahim (right) invited Mama Sarah on his family's Hajj pilgrimage during a UN trip to Kenya, where he was accompanied by Remigo Maradona (left), brother of the Argentinean soccer legend.

Property tycoon Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim is to accompany Barack Obama’s grandmother Mama Sarah to Makkah this year for the Hajj, Arabian Business can reveal.

Hydra Properties CEO Al Fahim – now also working as a UN Ambassador – met Obama’s grandmother during a trip to Kenya last week.

Al Fahim was in the country to help combat the spread of malnutrition, as part of his UN role.

“I found out that she had not been to the Haj, and that she very much wants to go. As my own mother is no longer with us, our family has a spare place, so I invited her and she has accepted. I’m very much looking forward to it,” he said.

Al Fahim was touring Kenya with Remigo Maradona, brother of the Argentinean soccer legend, to launch an anti-malnutrition campaign in the region.

He has just been appointed full UN Ambassadorial status.

“It’s something I’m going to be doing a lot more of. I have been very fortunate with my own career and business, and I feel it is time to give something back and try and do something for those less fortunate," Al Fahim added.

"We are planning several more trips to Africa, and hopefully we will soon announce the building of a soccer training camp for underprivileged children," he said.

UN officials are already making travel arrangements for Obama’s grandmother to visit Mecca with Al Fahim later this year.
