I am quite sure that all of you out there had read about the sufferings the victims are facing in the China Earthquake and Myanmar Cyclone. I had also blogged on the Myanmar Cyclone previously and to my disgust, the military junta had put up so many restrictions on foreign aid despite the fact that thousands of people are dying and millions more of its own citizens are crying out for help. A stark contrast to the unity of the Chinese People and the efficiency of their government in handling this disaster.
The debate on the huge numbers of buildings that had just simply collapsed in the China earthquake should be throughly investigated but only after all major efforts to save the remaining survivors had been done. My heart goes out to the victims and more so to the survivors who have to suffer the pain of losing their loved ones in this tragic disaster. The torment and hurt that they are going through now is definitely excruciating.
I sincerely hope that the world attention on the victims will not be short lived. For the rebuilding and also healing of wounds will take more time and efforts that are being put in now to save the remaining survivors. Over here in S'pore, we can't really do much except donating what I think most S'poreans had in bundles. Monetary gifts might seem a bit shallow but I can't think of any other ways to help out the victims.
Do visit http://www.redcross.org.sg/ to do your small little bit for the victims. Internet banking is allowed (this is what I had done) for you to do that small bit for them.
