hi syarah, in twitter we call this retweeting.
here's your post for emphasis of how we should be appalled and should stay appalled-
i was reading a forum on singapore's pack of peanuts we are sending to haiti.
the eu nations are pledging over 500 million.
usa are offering a hundred million.
china one million.
fine, we're not one of them rich ass countries (or are we?)
but 50k? seriously?
one american COMPANY is sending 100k.
brangelina are sending 1 million over.
seriously..?
is the sg govt smaller than an MNC..?
or a celebrity couple..?
i may be wrong and sg might end up donating more.
but at this point of time, i feel this is quite ridiculous.
what was most appalling was one singaporean's response in the forum:
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.
first of all. asspahole..?
second of all. taxpayer money are you kidding me? is that all we can think about?
third of all. we are small, precisely why we will always need outside help if anything happens.
fourth, a cat is a cat. wow great analogy.
disgusting.
