Words of comfort from DiGi users
 |
The message was among the 220 SMS received on the first day of the “From the Heart” campaign organised by DiGi Telecommunications, The Star and ntv7 to provide emotional support and raise funds for the tsunami victims.
Regardless of the language or SMS “lingo” used, their meaning was clear – every message had words of comfort and urged the tsunami victims to be strong.
A message received from klkhoo read: “Life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forwards. Let us pray for all the departed ones and help those who have survived the disaster”
The “From the Heart” campaign will go on until Jan 14. All proceeds from the SMS messages sent would be donated to The Star Earthquake/Tsunami Relief Fund.
Each SMS costs 15 sen and for the first part – “SMS Fund Drive” – DiGi subscribers can contribute money in denominations of RM3, RM5 or RM10 by keying in the amount
(e.g. RM10) and sending it to 1996.
Under the second part, entitled the SMS Words of Support, all mobile phone users can send dedications and words of encouragement, which will be broadcast live on ntv7 and on the DiGi website at www.digi.com.my.
Contributors will need to register by typing “FROM (space)(username)” and send it to 36677.
Upon receiving a confirmation message, users can reply and send in their encouragements by typing “MSG (space) (user dedication)” and send it to the same number.
Each message cannot exceed 160 characters.
