  • Look at the line chart by ST showing how MUCH SG donated to Haiti

    Posted by some1 else on hwz...






    I would like to commend the Straits Times for finding a red line thin enough to print, that represented the Singapore Government's donation to the earthquake victims of Haiti.

    You can see the line if you squint hard enough at this chart comparing the donations of various nations. It is that 0.1 point hairline my finger is pointing to in the photo.

    In fact, I think the line for Singapore may even have been rounded up because you can't print half a pixel of a line.

    100,000 estimated deaths. US$50,000 from our generous government. That's 50 cents for every dead soul. US currency, ok? So it is almost a dollar Singapore money for the Haitians.

          c'mon guys, double edge sword here. if they donate too much, some people will complain that gov't is spending too much. give too little; you say its not enough.

          honestly, we should look in our own backyards (and clean it up) before cleaning someone else backyard
