SG n China contribution to Haiti a Humanitarian Disgrace

RoyFang SG

FYI the Haiti airport has not enough Jet Fuel to supply for return flight.....???

Funny how you failed to mention personal contribution by average Singaporeans to the Haiti disaster...

I believe i am referring to the SG Government....not average singaporean....

In any case the Port Crane in Haiti has collasped and that the effective way to enter is thru the airport but the supplied of Jet fuel has ceased as such the only way is for flight to carry enough fuel for round trip....that limit the abilities to allow international flight into Haiti....

Most of the replies only reflect the smallness of singaporean can't see beyond outside the domain of the island and forgot to stick out their neck to see the direction and lost touch of the fact that humanity cut across nationalities.

What most people don't question is that if the Govt pass the buck to the people who is to blame? Comparatively SG are so willing to give the minister salary in the millions. Govt will always have a budget for disaster relief...

Most of you are so caught up with the environment that PAP has created such as a half a million dollar HDB which infact will collasped in Second for a similar size Earthquake. Or are too busy worried about the next pay check and forgot that when disaster struck you alone are nothing.....without outside help.

You seemed very eager to assume that the contribution from the Singapore government is going to be representative of how much Singaporeans would give.

Asspahole

US$50,000 is also money - it is still tax payer money - our blood and sweat. You feel not enough - then lead by example give on your own.

You keep of thinking next time singapore need outside help .... you giving with motive.

Singapore is a little red dot - we are small. Face the fact ... a cat is a cat - try to be lion and will die.

perharps you have to rethink the way you look at problems?

I don't when i first started to post but the response by most of the forumners had reflected the Dollar contributed will hurt their pocket?

KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT LOSER IT IS VERY GOOD FOR THE GOVT. TO DONATE HE CAN JUST DONT DONATE AND JUST SIT AND SHAKE HIS LEG LOSERS!!!! THIS MONEY ALSO NOT ENOUGH WHO TELL THE STUPID HATI OR WHATEVER TO BE SO POOR MERGE WITH OTHER COUNTRY AND BECOME A MORE BETTER COUNTRY LA

GHoST_18 SG

maybe because haiti has no economic benefit to us?

we just donate a bit so that we dun lose face...

if haiti has close economic ties with us,

u can bet sg will go all out...

angel7030 SG

Please dun donate more lor, if not, Gst and all other taxes may go up again.

By the way, where is Haiti?? Mostly likely hor, for this type of country, your donation can end up in some govt pockets instead of helping the victims.

dadeadman1337 SG

When Singapore donates $$, whose money is it?

angel7030 SG

LKY hard earned/conned money from the citizens

viewquek SG

Please look at Haiti geograpical position before comments. Haiti is located at Central America and is very near to USA. Therefore it is easier for USA to mobilise relief and rescue teams to Haiti.

If it is at South East Asia, then it is easier for Singapore to mobilise relief team.

Also Singapore always will start with USD50,000 donation to any country on humantarian ground before deciding how much more can our country contribute.

So don't jump on conculsion and criticise our govement until everything is finalised. Also they will not and should not give in term of millions for relief effort. The money should be used to help Singapore under previlage.

Dont say this haiti disaster.

Look at our very own local charity show, did the govt throw in money to support?

NO.

Why throw in money which can go into paying for their salaries to charity, when they could always put on a charity show to ask the public to donate.

I agree. As i have replied in anothr forum post, since when did u see a minister donate his pay to the charity show? its always the public donation they are asking.

opeth SG

USD$50,000 is already good enough. The more they donate, the most they will tax us back, whereas their elite salaries remain...

likeyou SG

Did spore send personal to help out? That is the best way to learn thru real live situation. In case, touch wood, in case spore hit by earthquake.

Veggie Bao SG

Arapahoe,

You forgot to mention one very important fact.

How much have YOU donated?

Yes, how much?

Gremlins79 SG

got help already very good lah.

Own people also never help so much!

I-like-flings(m) SG

if i am not wrong.... China was the first country to have they ppl there helping hor....... and 8 of their ppl are dead too.... so... i think it's ok lah... sg's 50k .. ya that's a joke....

Plastic Bag SG

Yes you are right. Most of us are too caught up with our lift upgrades that we always forget to vote properly during elections. We need a wake up call from this illusionary "home" called HDB flat.

Arapahoe SG

Arapahoe,

You forgot to mention one very important fact.

How much have YOU donated?

Yes, how much?

I believe i am referring to Govt rather than going to compare individual. Individual you base on your ability, i am not questioning the individual contribution.
