Did Singapore do enough to help the Japanese victims after the 9.0 mega quake?

We all know how badly Japan was hit by the "311" earthquake & Tsunami. I saw Taiwanese celebrities all gathered together to raise funds to help Japan.They(the celebrities,ppl) went all out and managed to raise quite a staggering amount.They worked, performed all for the good cause to help Japan.HongKong did quite well too. But what puzzled me was Mediacorp didn't really come up with a fund raising 'live'show to raise money to help Japan.Instead I mainly saw artistes and newscasters appearing in front of the camera saying comforting remarks.."Japan, our hearts are with u." Japan"Jia yu" dont lose hope u can overcome this' etc.

Yes, many other groups have had made donations But in my opinion,Mediacorp should have did more than just that..Nevertheless, I wish Japan and their ppl well

    maximum probable not. I proceed to exist a tiny island off the east coast. If the quake did not get us, the tsunami truthfully might have the full island below water. in spite of the reality that many properties are equipped to stay to tell the story a medium rigidity typhoon. Many reward!
