According to The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, he responded by making a $556 million pledge.\n\nThere is no information in the reports about the reason for his daughter's collapse or the nature of the pledge.\n\nThe reports also mention a separate story about a Hong Kong court convicting Dow Jones, the publisher of the Wall Street Journal, of deterring a reporter, Selina Cheng, from taking up a role at the Hong Kong Journalist Association, but clearing it of unlawfully firing her, as reported by Free Malaysia Today and The Guardian.",
