Japan will spend $1.83 million on a state funeral for slain former leader Shinzo Abe, the government said on Friday, despite growing opposition from a public angered by revelations of the ruling party’s ties to the Unification Church.

@SABCNews

Abe, Japan’s longest-serving but divisive premier, was shot and killed at an election rally on July 8, and although funeral services were held soon after, Japan has decided to hold a state funeral at Tokyo’s Nippon Budokan arena on September 27. The public has been angered by revelations of ties between the ruling party and the Unification Church, which a vast majority of respondents to opinion polls feel has not been fully explained and has become a major headache for Kishida, dragging down his support rates.

Abe’s suspected assassin, arrested at the scene moments after the shooting, bore a grudge against the church, alleging it bankrupted his mother, and he blamed Abe for promoting it, according to his social media posts and news reports.Japan’s last fully state-funded funeral for a prime minister was for Shigeru Yoshida in 1967.

Business Maverick: Japan, India aim major shift back to nuclear to avoid new power woesWhile Japan is planning a dramatic shift back to nuclear power more than a decade on from the Fukushima disaster, India’s largest power producer is looking to develop another massive nuclear project, a sign that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s expansion into atomic energy is gaining momentum. You were dealing with Zuma when he saw the the idea first, meaning you were jealous to see a man who can do better than world big nations. What a happy pay day.
