Sharing the grief of victims
PETALING JAYA: Pouring out words of motivation, hope and prayers, caring Malaysians continue to share their grief with the tsunami victims via The Star's SMS campaign, From The Heart.
There was also a reminder from fRzKC that Malaysians must be better prepared in future to face such disasters and to prevent sad loss of lives.
The messenger wrote: “My heart runs heavy. Through this message, maybe it can walk steady. The waves took things; it shook up beings. Next time, let's be ready.”
Sender PAWAN wrote: “If good days didn't last, bad days won't either. Have faith.”
Another contributor, Silver, sent this simple message: “Karma said good things come after bad things goes.”
Some 170 messages were received yesterday in the SMS campaign, which will give all proceeds to The Star Earthquake Tsunami Relief Fund.
Each SMS costs 15sen, 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.
In the second part – “SMS Words of Support” – users of all mobile phones can send messages and words of encouragement, which can be accessed on the DiGi website at www.digi.com.my
