Moderator’s note : Commentator lz suggests that those sending contributions by Western Union best sms the details rather than send the same by email.
The phone number to send those details by email has been listed below, in red.
________________________
There were 47 comments to my ‘Please help ABU’ post, with many suggestions by you as to how we could go about getting funds in to drive the ABU effort to get UMNO / BN out of Putrajaya at this 13th GE.
TK called me and suggested I check with Tony Pua as to how he had gone about raising funds to help pay for the recent court judgment against him.
I called Tony, TK.
Tony offered the public a DAP bank account to which funds could be sent.
This option is not open to us, TK, but thank you for the call and the suggestion.
Going through the other suggestions, I have come up with three options.
First, Paypal.
I have set up my Paypal account.
You can send your contributions to my account at harooster@gmail.com ( account of Haris Fathillah bin Mohamed Ibrahim )
Alternatively, we could use Western Union. If this is your preferred option, you could wire your contributions and notify me of the details at harrooster@gmail.com or by sms to 012-2070534. The ABU secretariat checked with Western Union and you will need the following details to send in your contributions :
Recipient : Haris Fathillah bin Mohamed Ibrahim
Address : 17-1, Jalan 109E, Desa Business Park, Taman Desa, Off Old Klang Road, Kuala Lumpur , 58100 Malaysia
Tel : 0122070534
Finally, I will go down to Singapore to open an account at the soonest possible. I am in Labuan now and returning later today, but am down again with acute sinusitis so the opening of this account will probably only be done next week after I have recovered.
A reminder.
If you are sending your contributions by Western Union, you will have to notify me of the amount, your details and the Western Union password by email, at the address mentioned above.
An assurance.
You have my word that every contribution will only be used for this ABU initiative that we, at the secretariat, have taken up on your behalf.

One note of caution about using PayPal to receive donations. I have read of several horror stories (none known to me personally) about how PayPal freezes accounts for several months due to “possible fraudulent activity” caused by sudden and high-volume influx of funds to an account. This can and has happened to donation accounts as well as business accounts as PayPal has a very easy-to-trigger alarm system. When that happens, it can be a major headache to retrieve the funds and it can take a long time to resolve as well. Look up info on people’s horror stories about this to find out more.

Haris, you need not convince us of your honesty, we have never doubted it in the first place.
Yes Singapore bank a/c will suit me fine. I go there every 3 months. Keep us in touch once you have the Singapore a/c operating. Travel safe and keep well.

Haris,
no disrespect, but I think before you take peoples money there needs to be a high-level plan in place on how you wish to use the money. No need for specifics, but at the very least an outline.
While I can take your word that all funds will be used as part of the ABU initiative, I think there also needs to be some assurance in the form of a plan on how the money will be used. So that we don’t run into a situation where people have contributed for something, while the money is used for something else. That’s entirely possible at this point since it’s all very ambiguous in terms of how the money is used. We all want to get rid of UMNO, but some may not agree with your methods, or vice-versa.
I believe with a plan in place, not only will you get far more support, but also you can set a target as to how much money is needed to execute the plan.
Also, once you have a plan and a target, you can try a kickstarter campaign π
Bro,
No offence taken.
Will try to write up something and post it here asap

Hi HARIS
Is it possible to set up an a/c similar to d one DAP uses?
It is much easier when one can just pay using d credit card online.
If I remember correctly U gave up your practice some 2 yrs ago, how have U been coping digging into your own pockets for the VERY MANY civil society activities you are involved in?
U r one CRAZY NUT, but I salute U n your ‘family
BEST WISHES to U,ALWAYS !

Good stuff, Haris π
Looks like you have several bases covered.
PayPal seems the best option for me for several reasons. I might wait a couple of days for the account to be ready as it appears you may have a bug or two there.
As always, more power to you, Haris Ibrahim π

One legitimate way to make money is to place adds on your blog, get as many people to click your adds and earn money from google adds…..it may take time, but its a good way to earn money from Google via the poor rakyat who are already squeezed, and since you have Pal pal, you can place a DONATE button you your blog. Good luck!
p/s Once you have enough advertisers on your page we will get as many people to click the “ad”.
