How many anak Bangsa Malaysia must die before you are moved?
August 24, 2009
Update at 5.05pm : Just got off the phone with Father Sylvester Ding. He has provided the details for those who wish to send love to the anak-anak Bangsa Malaysia in Kapit, Sarawak.
Account holder : St Francis Centre Belaga
Bank : Maybank, Bintulu branch, Sarawak
Account No. : 011065307834
God bless all you good people.
______________________________________
Update at 4.50pm : Have left a voicemail on Father Sylvester Ding’s mobile, informing him of this online initiative to raise funds for the anak-anak Bangsa Malaysia in Kapit. Have asked him to let me have bank account details as soon as possible.
Again, bear with me, people.
____________________________________________
Update at 3.30pm : Efforts are being made to get the bank account or postal address details so that you can send your contributions directly to Sarawak where the funds are needed.
Please bear with me.
_____________________________________
“The children are the most badly affected by the food shortage”.
Read the rest of this report in the Staronline.
That report, whilst mentioning that Father Sylvester Ding, who is coordinating getting aid to those in need of the same, had said that people could send their donations in kind to the Miri Carmelite Chapel, does not give details as to how contributions could be sent.
I have asked for bank account details and / or the full postal address to which contributions might be sent and will post those details here the soonest I receive the same.
People, if you hold to the spirit of One People, One Nation, then you must see these starving children in the remote Kapit Division in central Sarawak as your own.
As you read this, you would have probably already had your first meal for the day.
Get your office mates to join you and skip lunch today, pool the money that you would have saved from that missed meal and get ready to send it out to our children in Sarawak.
The little pangs of hunger you will feel will be more than offset by the sense of fullness you will derive from knowing that the meal you missed is on its way to a little one who hasn’t eaten anything of substance in days.

Count me in for RM 200…Thanks
August 24, 2009 at 11:44 am
Count me in too…RM200.00.
Just got back from Kuching and my course participant for Kapit did not mention this to me during training…shocking really.
August 24, 2009 at 1:15 pm
Is shocking to have such destitute in this land of plenty.
On top of that , Sarawak is blessed with rich resources and raw materials ,really big shame on the BN government.
Will chip in RM 200 too.
August 24, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Payment info please. Many thanks for highlighting the situation.
August 24, 2009 at 1:46 pm
to whom shall i transfer / donate the money?
August 24, 2009 at 2:43 pm
And Tiong has RM10m to give away to Ong Tea Kiat whilst people in his own bakyard go starving?!?!
August 24, 2009 at 2:57 pm
What is Mohd Taib and his party leaders doing in Sarawak. Sarawak is one of the richest states and we just can’t believe that poverty exist in the remote regions. This is a holy month and your assistance in this month will be great.
August 24, 2009 at 3:37 pm
yeah, how?
August 24, 2009 at 3:54 pm
How can anyone resist….a child in need. Here’s a little poem I learned in school.
There’s a Friend for all little children
Above the bright blue sky,
A Friend who never changes
Whose love will never die.
Haris you have taken on the mantle of this Friend…bravo once again!
And we all want to be friends to these hungry little faces, thank you for the lead Farida..RM200 from me.
Will pass the word around.
August 24, 2009 at 4:10 pm
Can someone with integrity please open an account and let us to contribute some money to them.
I want to contribute, but how?
The best way I think is using PayPal or online TT to a banking account. I know many visitors here ready to donate some money for immediate action.
I wonder what is Sarawak CM doing now?

Haris,
My maid, God Bless her, when told about the food crisis, says she wants to pledge RM100.
August 24, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Dear Haris
It is shocking that such a situation exists in a place so resource rich as Sarawak, and yet we have timber tycoons living in unimaginable wealth. I will send a donation once the bank details/address of
the Miri Carmelite chapel is published on your blog.
Best wishes

August 24, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Thanks, brother Haris for making a change. I have just transferred my contribution especially for our Kapit’s children. Take care & God bless.
August 25, 2009 at 7:39 am
Good job, Haris. I will also bank in my contribution in a day or two.
And, by the way, great comments from you in the Malay Mail today (Tuesday, Aug 25)
August 25, 2009 at 8:18 am
will get onto some internet banking immediately. Just thinking. How does someone become a ‘timber tycoon’? The forests belong to everyone. Why only one person becomes the ‘tycoon’?….and kids don’t get to eat.
August 25, 2009 at 8:32 am
Thanks for the account number and details, Haris. My friends and I were wondering earlier how to get our contributions over to Kapit. It’s shameful that any child should die of hunger in Malaysia!
August 25, 2009 at 9:47 am
Dear Haris, it’s great to know we have caring people like you, who makes the world a much better place!!
Will transfer my little donation..
God bless you!
August 25, 2009 at 9:58 am
Hi Haris, it’s people like you who made this world a better place.
God bless you!
will transfer my small donation.
August 25, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Hi Haris, you make this world a nicer place to live in. will transfer our donation this evening.
August 25, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Bro Haris,
Just did an online transfer of RM100.
Keep up the good work
August 25, 2009 at 4:11 pm
I can do this little with a small donation
God Bless You,
Philip
August 25, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Dear Haris,
Thanks for the effort. Hopefully the kids are provided for with a little help from caring Malaysians.
God bless.
August 25, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Ok, Haris. Will bank in for them.
God bless His children and the Heavenly father to the widow and fatherless.
August 25, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Thanks Haris for for your deeds.
You are one true Malaysian.
Surprisingly, the Star only carried the story like a piece of sensational journalism – they should have gone the extra mile and tried to offer a solution just like what you have done.
ALLAH will bless you.
August 25, 2009 at 6:32 pm
Thanks Harris for info.
Government don’t do anything to help our poor rakyat, I’ll do it!
Taib to busy sucking the State dry! No need to wait for the corrupted suckers!
August 25, 2009 at 11:14 pm
Dear Haris,
I have just transferred RM200.00 via Maybank2u to help the community in Kapit, Sarawak. As I typed this my eyes filled with tears knowing how fortunate I am with my family not having to worry abt food & shelter. I know it’s not much but this is my small contribution & I look forward to doing it again. Thanks a lot for the heads up.
P.S. Just got my “Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia” t-shirt this afternoon together with RPK’s book Silent Roar. Along with RPK, you rock, my man!
August 26, 2009 at 12:03 pm
HI
Many have asked how they will be able to inform the St Francis that the donation is for this purpose. Or is the bank account specially opened for it.
August 26, 2009 at 12:35 pm
CAN SOMEONE SEND THIS TO ALL THE MINISTERS WHO HAS ROBBED THE COUNTRY OF ALL ITS WEALTH AND HAVE THEM CONTRIBUTE RM1 MILLION EACH TO START SUSTAINABLE FOOD SUPPLIES FOR THE LONG TERM. WE ARE HAVING A GET TOGETHER THIS WEEK END AND WILL COLLECT FOR THIS NEED.
August 26, 2009 at 1:27 pm
haris,
the job of amar makruf wal nahi munkar is Not for 4
mosque personals only , or a unit ,thoifah or jemaah.
It is a job for a (khairul) ummah ,ummatah wahidah and
ummatan washotan, moderate and liberals.

Salam/ Good Day/ Hello,
I am deeply sympathetic for those children, as though there were my own children. I’m sure, all parties would generously donate. PLEASE be sure you contact the authorities immediately if the situation worsen or aggravated. Don’t simply hopes. Kita perlu bertindak cepat, sebelum terlambat. Sama-sama kita bantu dan menderma.
August 26, 2009 at 7:25 pm
hello haris
i mayb ignorant about this but i really want to know why isn’t this in d news? or is this jus another political bait???
August 26, 2009 at 8:23 pm
Hmm…..
….still sitting here, waiting for someone to put the IBAN and SWIFT or BIC MayBank codes here to send some dosh for nosh for the noshless young ‘uns.
Can someone there please

WE SAY YEAH! & NO TO ISA!

Haris, God bless you. I just read this appeal. Yes, for sure I will send in my contribution. If the damn government will not help, then we must. Truly, it is now anak Malaysia helping anak Malaysia, not the damn BN who are still in power due to the very same people who are now starving.Hidup Rakyat Malaysia! Pi mampus BN!

Suresh,
‘MAY THERE BE A GOD OUT THERE TO PUNISH ALL THOSE GREEDY & SINFUL PEOPLE?’
Anger leads to nothing but destruction.
November 5, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Ok ok… It’s not anger..just a wish, albeit a harsh one. apologies there Lydia..
But ain’t that what’s causing the current misfortune to the Penan people? other people’s greed ?
Anyway to all out there, please give a helping hand to our needy brother and sisters at the Kapit area..i don’t mind skipping 1 or 2 meals a day (whilst shedding a few kilos along the way) so that our needy brother and sisters at the Kapit area can eat and sleep well.
November 6, 2009 at 8:56 am
Way to go suresh
how abt the rest ?
