But sorry to say, i have to blog about this...! Just a short one...

You can hate those charity show, you can call it gimmick, giving the telecom company extra income or over-paying the artists who performed (which i strongly felt unfair too), but you cannot denial that those victims really need help.

Singapore Red Cross launches public appeal for China Earthquake

SINGAPORE, 14 May 2008 - The Commissioner of Charities has granted Singapore Red Cross (SRC) a permit to raise funds today, 14 May to 14 June for survivors of the China Earthquake.

So far, the SRC has received a total of S$6,000 from unsolicited donations prior to the approval of the permit. The money was donated by individuals and corporate organisations. All monies collected will be channelled to the Red Cross Society of China (RCSC) through the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and funds will be used in the relief operations of the disaster. Due to logistical considerations, SRC requests that no donations-in-kind be made.

Members of the public who would like to contribute to relief efforts in China can make their donations through the following:
