Singaporeans

-The UGLY Singaporean-

Those who make use of the disaster to get rid of their unwanted items!

--> Donated swimming trunks/ bikinis/ carpets/ used underwear to the victims


--> Threw a fuss & threatened to call the police/ not donate money when items are not accepted


--> Became agitated when their calls are not returned immediately


We should seriously reflect, and count our blessings. Indeed we are blessed enough to be in a position of giving, should we then give out of what we have, or is it just good enough to dump our leftovers. Place yourselves in the shoes of the receivers

-The GOONDU Singaporean-

Those who call the hotline &:


--> Commented that the hotline is really hot.. and that they cannot get through easily


--> gave us their location & actually asked where their nearest post office is (I am not a walking street directory)


--> Asked us where Taufik Batisah is performing (Its a hotline for the disaster.. not SG Idol)



We should really think before we speak, and refrain from making a fool of ourselves. No doubt you provided entertainment from the mundane enquiry phone calls, but reality check. This line is ultimately a disaster hotline, not a answer ALL questions line. For that, try 100.
