Billions in "Reserves", Millions for FTrasg, But $300 for Destitute Family.

How much a person earns depends upon the demand for his/her skills and the supply of people qualified to do the job.

Security guards are paid peanuts because just about anyone, monkeys included, can do the job. It requires no special skills.

On the other hand a skilled plastic surgeon can charge $20,000 per boob job. Demand for bigger boobs is high. The supply of skilled surgeons is limited.

a world like this is fucked up....if the human evolution and technological advancement is led by market demands and consumer pressures and human desires then the human race is finished........watch the movie "idiocracy" mankind will be obsessed with developing better and tastier junk food and soft drinks like gatorade......medical advancement will be focused on pills that make the dick grow longer and erections last longer and scientist will be focus on how to cure premature balding.......entertainment will be reduced to retarded shows that involves mindless violence and balls(testicles).......language and music will deterioriate to incomprensible gibberish,slang and broken singlish and music will turn into garbage dubstep and korean pop and sun ho's china wine.....and worthless plastic surgeons will become celebrities and superstars because everybody wants "boobs" and horseface surgery.

MANILA -- It was “a small gesture of friendship and solidarity” with a neighbor in need, Singapore President Tony Tan Keng Yam said of his country’s donation to those affected by Supertyphoon “Yolanda” five months ago.

Tan on Friday handed over some S$7 million or P231 million in donations to partner organizations in the Philippines to support a package of reconstruction and rehabilitation projects in areas affected by the supertyphoon in Eastern Visayas.
Tan, who was on his first state visit to the Philippines, did not issue remarks at the event but said in a press statement that the funding package was a “small gesture of friendship and solidarity with the Filipino people.”
Singapore’s president also lauded Singapore Red Cross (SRC) for choosing “trusted partners” in disbursing assistance from the city-state. Apart from government funding, SRC had separately raised S$11.45 million or P377.85 million in donations from Singaporeans through its public appeal.

Spirit of solidarity
“These may seem small in the greater scheme of the rebuilding effort, but they are huge gestures of friendship and reflect the spirit of solidarity of the Singapore people with the Filipino people,” said SRC secretary general Benjamin William during the turnover ceremonies.
“As the funds flowed in, it was clear to me and my colleagues that the people of Singapore shared the grief and suffering brought about by Yolanda and wanted to reach out to touch the lives of [those] in need,” William said, adding that contributions of varying amounts poured in, “from as big as a million dollars from a successful businessman to a 10-year-old schoolgirl giving her entire savings of pocket money.”
SRC’s partner organizations include the Philippine Red Cross, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, International Committee of the Red Cross, Anglican Crisis Relief Outreach and Support Singapore, Life Community Development, Humanitarian Assistance Network for Disaster and Assisi Development Foundation.

Beyond fund-raising
Singapore’s partners in the Philippines are set to implement a package of projects including housing, medical facilities, water and sanitation, and the repair of homes and schools across the disaster zone. Expected to benefit from the package are some 1.5 million Filipinos from the typhoon-hit communities on Bantayan Island in Cebu province, Busuanga Island in Palawan province, Leyte province, Ormoc City, Panay Island and Samar province.
“The outpouring of support is heartening but we must remember that the work of rebuilding communities goes beyond fund-raising. It is a commitment that can stretch over years,” William said.
“We hope that all the rebuilding and rehabilitation projects supported by Singapore Red Cross and the people of Singapore will make a lasting difference to the people of the region… We hope that each and every project will represent relief and new hope,” he added. Inquirer.net
