SINGAPORE: The Singapore government will make a contribution of S$50,000 through the Singapore Red Cross to support China's disaster relief efforts following Saturday's earthquake in Sichuan.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has also written to Chinese Premier Li Keqiang to convey his condolences to the people and government of China.

Mr Lee said he is saddened to learn of the earthquake that struck Sichuan on 20 April 2013.

Mr Lee said he visited Sichuan just last September, and was "deeply moved to learn first hand of the hardships that the people in Yingxiu experienced during the 2008 earthquake, and inspired by their fortitude in rebuilding their lives".

He said it is unfortunate that another major earthquake has struck Sichuan again.

Singapore stands ready to assist those affected by this tragedy, said Mr Lee.

He added that he is confident the people of Sichuan will overcome this tragedy with resilience and determination.

But we have already made a significant donation in SUZHOU, even APPLE cannot match...each of us contributed a portion of our hard earned money...APPLE donation is nothing...the Citizens Of Singapore, are the most generous.

Simple fact is, China do not need our money, $50k is a token of our sympathy. However for countries which are known as cradles suicide bombers and terrorist, they are entitled to exactly zero sh!t given to their sufferings.
