What we do for the Haitians as a "MALAYSIAN"

Malaysians were well known for their multicultural and for their helping habit around the world. When the Lebanon war-torn people needed help we Malaysians had and still helping them out. Ins schools they collect donations. They also arrange a nation wide donation. These actions should be credited as we show our concern to suffering 'humans' in Lebanon. But where were the government when the Indians in the Sri lankan needs help. they were badly wounded and were treated worse than animal by Sri lankan army under the beast rajapakshe. They hardly get any food or water. Not only Malaysian, where were the other nations also. they just see the situation as they dont do anything. Now the Haitian needed the help after overcoming historic 7.0 magnitude quake.
these were the offers of aid to quake hit Haiti:-
  • US: Three 70-strong search and rescue(SAR) teams with sniffer dogs. Four US Coast Guard cutters, aircraft carries USS Carl Vinson en route. American Red Cross sending US$ 1 million in immediate aid.
  • World Bank: US$ 100 million in aid.

  • Australia:US$9.3 million aid package, half provided immediately.
  • China: US$ 1 million in aid, 60-strong SAR team, 10 tonnes of food, medicine.
  • MALAYSIA:????????
I still remember how excited am i and my friends when the school announced an open donation for the Lebanon people. As Malaysians we were proud to help other nation people as they also humans like us.
But, as a multiracial country with multiracial people, were this government only cares for Islam people in Lebanon??? Why don't they care for the welfare of war-torn Indians in Sri lanka and the earthquake torned Haitian in Haiti. These questions were not shoot by any other people. My muslim friends asks me this questions. He says the Islam religion stressing in helping people. Bu current situation surely tells different story. And for the most Why the government keep silence in this??? They were so many unanswered question that rise in my mind. Remember, i didnt ask these question to make others angry or to criticized other religions. i ask these question being a MALAYSIAN. so, As a 'MALAYSIAN' lets all try to think the logic behing this and ask ourselves "WHERE IS THE MISTAKE?????"
