most chinese outside china consider themselves overseas chinese. this is mainly because our ancestors were from china.
an article appeared in the straits times yesterday pertaining to the above.

what do you think? -
we don't see americans donating to india or british donating to papau new guinea too.. so what do u meant by that?
by the way, in the recent china-africa submit, china promises to economically development africa by spending billions and billions the continent..

I agree....with our own people jumping the MRT tracks and yet no one helping them? And here are we, our own people donating to people of other country that might become a superpower in the future.Originally posted by TYING:must help ppl of own skin colour first. Racism exist in everyone. -
walau, dont compare that way.Originally posted by Y_Shun:I agree....with our own people jumping the MRT tracks and yet no one helping them? And here are we, our own people donating to people of other country that might become a superpower in the future.
based on your argument we can only donate to foreigners only after all singaporeans are free from poverty?
how is that possible? -
I dun mind donating, but, why can't we donate to the locals first? I mean look at the govt, they rather sponsor throngs of Chinese nationals to come here to study in NTU, NUS, but yet, they are not willing to fork out money to pay for the total fees of the needy student. That makes me beg to ask this qn. Are those foreigners more important to them or we the locals?

I think just to make news lah.
Then next time Singaporeans go China invest, the China people will be like this.
Their mouth will say, "Singaporeans ah. Very good, very kind. Good, good, goood"
But they might think this way, "Haha, A bunch of Gong Tau" -

regarding china investing in africa... anything new here???? should see those hotels run by the chinese people over there.... it's ridiculous... why do they invest in countries like zimbabwe, sudan & the rest... it's immoral but everyone is doin it...
help your skin colour first? these people shouldn't breathe at all... it's illegal!!!! -
forgive me if i make a mistake... i think that there is a law in singapore that clearly states that 80% of any collected donation MUST BE spend within singapore..... no?Originally posted by dragg:most chinese outside china consider themselves overseas chinese. this is mainly because our ancestors were from china.

why do you even burn paper monies during someone's funeral???? still costs money, eh??? don't you think it's such a BIG waste especially to someone who is already dead!!!??? no? -
Africa will never develop - most of the countries there have corrupt officials who grab 90 cents of your one dollar . They exploit their own kind and thinks that the world owe them a living . With this type of exploitation , I am starting to think poverty in Africa is a conspiracy to feed the fat wallets of the officials there.
One thing I don't mind is to donate money to Medecins Sans Frontiers (MSF) . They do not give the money to the local people but instead fly healthcare personnel all over the world to assist in health and well being of the people in countries of trouble.
Frankly I rather just donate to Aussie charities now . They have to account for every penny they spend and they do it. -
i am 99% sure the money will go to the corrupted china officials...Originally posted by dragg:most chinese outside china consider themselves overseas chinese. this is mainly because our ancestors were from china.

It seems like when the Australian soldiers were sent in to distribute relief goods to the tsunami victims in Acheh. The president of Indonesia came to see them and say a few hellos. The Australian soldiers were happy until one of them heard the president telling his aide in Indonesian ( he assumed that the aussies couldn't speak indonesian) " Now send these australian bastards back home" .
I am not helping Indonesia at all even if they get sunk - shows you how much gratitude you get when you help them.
