Dear Mr. Tan,
I note your blog article regarding the difficulty of donating via DBS internet banking. I agree and encountered the same kind difficulty as well, and was not successful in donating through this channel.
If you wish, you may want to inform your readers that the easiest way to donate $50 to Singapore Red Cross for the Japan earthquake and tsunami aid is through SMS.
To donate $50 by SMS, send the text message "REDCROSS" to 75772. Each SMS carries a charge of 30 cents. This donation is not tax-deductible.

Why can't the Telco waive the 30 cents sms charge? Skype offers free calls to Japan. Makes our telco look bad, no?
