let's put aside our differences and try to organise something for our fellow asians.We have to help them.So many have lost their homes and families and we have to do what we can as human beings.
For those who want to help organise a donation drive of some sort,PM me and I will pass you my phone number. -
any other ways of offering help besides donation? only red cross going over?

I heard that SAF is sending over a medical team to Indonesia..... confirmation, anyone?
If so, what's the size of the medical team? One medical coy? One divisional support medical battalion? -
today my coy's parka jackets were recalled all of a sudden to be sent as aid.Originally posted by fudgester:I heard that SAF is sending over a medical team to Indonesia..... confirmation, anyone?

also saw a tonner loaded with mattresses (the old foam type) which i'm guessing must also be meant as aid. -
my squadron today all packed up and took off and minister of defence was there. i saw he liao i was scared

Yup,we should help in whatever way we can.But please do not send cash over to the countries or their embassies affected.As when the $$ is distributed,it may be used to buy these essentials like food etc. from the blackmarket which sells them at high prices.
Please provide whatever within your means.Thanks.

How come no soldiers sent over to do Sai Gang. Sit in Barracks do what man.
Given that most soldiers will never see a day of comabt in their life, i would have though that the exposure would be extremely valuable to the SAF. Also, i imagine that dealing with foreigners would help the soldiers gain knowledge of LICs. -
call
1900 9111110 to donate $10 to RED CROSS
just helping to pass the msg

hmm Military buffs,
Did anyone notice that the Chinooks are flying to Aceh direct? Not too sure about Phuket though. -
Have... Our Peacekeeping Combat Engineers (regulars) are going to Aceh to help out. Clear debris, build longkang, shelter, roads etc.. Those guys leaving by LST tomorrow. No choice, cannot use roads so have to land on coast.Originally posted by lwflee:How come no soldiers sent over to do Sai Gang. Sit in Barracks do what man.

I've volunteered for 2nd wave.. Probably going to some island off India and do recce.. Planters go there operate heavy machinery... Probably activate within next 3 days.. -
Good job - wish you luck. I would be willing to do this type of thing for my reservist man
