A Humble King, Eager Minions, Why Being Modest is Hard.......

“A man as big as history: King Abdullah, on many occasions, has refused to name things after himself, and chose instead the name Abdullah…His declining to name the health care plan after himself is one small example.....history truly immortalizes those who do not take titles........He has often gone personally to visit hospitals and poor neighborhoods…such a model of a man who is moved by emotions of love and patriotism, quietly and without hypocrisy, and how he sent aid to Arab and Muslim countries on various occasions......When we write or talk about the phenomenon of King Abdullah, he is the last man to wants self glorification and this is the characteristic of a believer who always has full confidence in himself.” Alriyadh (saudi); reproduced in other media outlets as well.

“God willing, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, may God keep him, and in the presence of Their Majesties, Highnesses, Excellencies the leaders of several Arab, Islamic, and Friendly countries and their representatives, will patronize the christening of the King Abudullah University of Science and Technology…..” Alriyadh

It is possible that this particular king is different, that he is a simple modest person. Unfortunately, monarchs are defined mostly by their retainers and professional ‘kissers’, and it seems this king has plenty of them in the palace and in the royal vast media.
