This fucking country so proud and nationalistic they wanted to hold their national day celebration in Orchard area. They don't give face to sinkies and just want to do what they like. If they are so proud, and their fucking country is so great that their national day must also be celebrated in other countries, why they need help from us? Fucking PAP just open backside and volunteer to be anally raped. By helping the Phillippines, This just emboldens them and give them attitude of entitlement. PAP needs to teach them a lesson. If you come to this country and act like this country should kowtow to your fuck celebrations, there is a price to be paid. I would rather we keep the money at home and earmark it for the inevitable Orchard and Bukit timah road flooding. Merchants here don't get a penny from the govt. when their shopping centre get flooded during rainstorm, but other countries get help when they get floods? what warped twisted PAP logic is this?
SINGAPORE: Relief efforts for the Philippines as Typhoon Hagupit threatens landfall as early as Sunday (Dec 7) morning are in motion already with Chan Yeng Kit, permanent secretary, defence, assuring his counterpart in Manila that Singapore stands ready to assist.
Mr Chan called Philippines' Undersecretary for National Defence Honorio S Azcueta to offer help and said that would include the Changi Regional HADR (Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief) Coordination Centre (RHCC) to support the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
Heavy rain and strong winds began to hit the eastern Philippines Saturday (Dec 6) ahead of a giant storm threatening more devastation to areas yet to recover from a super typhoon that killed thousands. Typhoon Hagupit was moving slowly in the Pacific Ocean towards the disaster-plagued Southeast Asian nation and is expected to make landfall before dawn on Sunday, forecasters said.
A needs assessment team of up to 10 officers is ready to be deployed from Singapore to the Philippines to provide a comprehensive assessment of the situation in the affected areas and enhance information-sharing. This will in turn help facilitate decision-making by militaries, for instance, by showing them areas most in need of assistance.
PRIVATE SECTOR ALLIANCE ON THE WAY
A private sector alliance of Singapore firms will position itself as close as it can to the city of Legazpi on the eastern coast of the country, where it is likely to be badly hit by the typhoon.
It has joined forces with emergency services in the Philippines in preparation to move into affected sites after the typhoon hits.
Pilipinas 911, a privately-run emergency services firm, has teamed up with Singapore’s Swift Emergency Evaluation Deployment (SEED) unit to assess possible disaster relief priorities in the typhoon's aftermath.
"A disaster is no longer a local concern, it's a global concern, so we do appreciate help from our neighbours, and also from practically anyone around the world,” said Ruel S Kapunan, managing director of Pilipinas 911.
"The typhoon is dynamic, and it's very unpredictable,” said Ng Sin Ain, team leader of SEED. “We consolidate various sources of information to allow us to try to plot the (typhoon's possible path)."
