Oxford takes gambling king’s cash-News-UK-Education-TimesOnline

Oxford takes gambling king’s cash-News-UK-Education-TimesOnline: "A casino tycoon who has long denied links to organised crime has been approved by Oxford University’s ethics committee to make one of its biggest publicised individual donations.

Stanley Ho, an 85-year-old billionaire known as the “King of Gambling” in Macao, has given £2.5 million for improving Chinese history research and teaching at Pembroke College. The gift comes as Singaporean and American authorities scrutinise links between Mr Ho, his daughter, Pansy, and major casino developers."
