Donating to the Flood Victims
Lets stop bitching on which bloggers is right and which is wrong on whatever matter it is, so lets show we bloggers are a bunch of caring buggers instead. Yeah i know its bit to late but better late than never. I have talked to a few bloggers and most of them seem to agree with what i have proposed. Thats by gathering all the Malaysia Bloggers and their Readers, and pass the hat along and collect some personal donations to them flood victims down south.
Therefore, to start the ball rolling, I am gonna put in RM50 in to the hat, followed by RojakMan with another RM50 and Aunty Lilian with another RM150 … and there is no limit on the amount you wanna donate!
But before that allow me to clarify a few points … i dunwan go “lokap” k
- The running period for this would be exactly 1 week from tomorrow - which will end on Fri -12th January 2007 at 0:00hours
- All personal donations are being collected for temporary safekeeping by earl-ku before being passed to TV3 or MRCS under the name “Caring Malaysian Bloggers”.
- This is NOT a public solicitation, its strictly open to the bloggers i’ve invited only and those who were in the msn group chat last nite.
- You cannot donate anonymously.
- All money must be banked in, no cash!

I have decided that the money that was transfered to me will not be sent to any of the bodies i mentioned earlier in the post, as it will not be able to be delivered to the victims swiftly, so i have talked to a fellow ham - 9W2TKC of MARTS, where he is leading a convoy which consist of 13 4X4 with a medical team to the Southern Region this 13th Jan. He was overjoyed to hear that there are bunch of caring people(bloggers/readers) like us. This Saturday’s convoy would be his 4th convoy down to Johor since the flood started last month.
Initially i thought of using the money collected here to buy them stuff which are in small sizes to be brought down to Johor, such as medical supplies. But then 9W2TKC assured me that he will rope in more 4X4 vehicles if there isnt enough space. So i was told that we could get stuff like gas stove, matress, can food and so on. So the RM638 collected as of now 10/01/2007 930AM will be channeled direcly to the victims by purchasing items and deliver it to them directly. I believe this is a far better approach.
I will get more info on where the 4X4 convoy is heading and put ut up here, will get the stuff done and send to him tonite tommorow, i will go “shopping” after work todaytommorow tonite(coz tomoro i got a meeting after work), you can still send in your money but you will make me do another round of “shopping” …

Chup! The RM150 is not from me. RM50 from me only. The other two belongs to the ‘Guess the Rudolf’ song contest. It rightfully belongs to to two other bloggers. I will mail them and tell them I donated to this instead of a children’s home which they requested earlier.
