I produce here Norlaila's jottings on her Merah Hitam Blog:
"To All Caring Malaysians,
please spare some of your thought for them. How sweet if you can take a little of their distress by fullfilling their needs as a human.We, are about a week away to celebrate Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, and I would like to make a call to this blog readers, to spare some financial portion for them.I'm sure, your move will give a great help to them.
For further info of these families,
I make myself available at 0126892608 or GMI's treasurer Puan Nashita at 0132096373.
Note: These are the pictures of Puan Halimah's family.A mother of eight, she makes soya bean drinks and sells it in Pasar Malam at Bahau. The youngest is Ismail, 7.The father was taken away when Ismail was 3 years old."
The Main Stream Media have been peppered with stories and pictures of corporate bigwigs queuing up to give aid to welfare homes and charitable organisations. These are of course generous and admirable gestures in line with Corporate Responsibilities.
TO CHALLENGE CORPORATIONS
TO SPARE SOMETHING
FOR THESE FORGOTTEN CHILDREN
WHOSE FATHERS HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF OPPORTUNITIES TO PUT BREAD ON THE TABLE LIKE ALL FATHERS DO.
WOULD CORPORATIONS DARE TO DONATE TO THESE CHILDREN?
WOULD THE GOVERNMENT PENALISE THESE ORGANISATIONS WHO MAY STAND UP TO BE DIFFERENT?
A GENTLE REMINDER OF WHAT CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY IS ALL ABOUT:
"The World Business Council for Sustainable Development defines corporate responsibility as the continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce, their families and the local community and society at large.
More than goodwill, corporate community involvement or strategic corporate philanthropy, corporate responsibility is a genuine attempt by a company to build meaningful relationships between the corporate sector and the rest of society."

I say man Bernard,
Corporations in Malaysia will suck up to whoever brings them opportunity to loot.
That's the "Malaysia Incorporated" ideology of Mahathirism.
They wouldn't get close enough to touch these poor children with a ten foot pole.
I was horrified to see pics of an orphanage, with children living in condition of a cowshed - mind you, it was a Muslim organisation.
Most corporate bigwigs only like to be seen on the 1st page of the msm with their CEOs handing their mock cheques to the PM or Najib. It used to be Mahathir for the past 20+ years. Yes, it's nice and comforting to be seen rubbing shoulders with the top political goons in this country and seeing their photos splashed on the headlines. Except these goons are no better than baboons. That's the local mentality. ISA? The word does not appear in their financial sheets.

Uncle zorro , please do write on how we can help Pn.Halimah or the bank ac number.
And to your pc problem , take out that small lithium button battery ( 3~5 years lifespan )out from the pc for few seconds.And adjust the time and date after restarting.
Khun....Norlaila has given her cell # and also Nashita's. These two ladies should be able to lead you on.
Tks about my pc problem...I am dumb when it comes to opening up these gadgets....will get a buddy to do this tomorrow.
Doc & Anon11:35pm: Gentlemen, spot on. They do not want to dirty their well manicured hands meddling with these unfortunate....poor mileage perhaps.
Hi Bernard,
Give us an account number to which we can contribute in small ways. Waiting for the big corporations is an sheer waste of time as they will suck up to government (BN) sponsored charities only.
Navi, I have not been provided this facility. I rather you contact these two persons: Norlailah:0126892608 and Nashita: 0132096373. They would willing provide you with the How To.
Thanks Navi for thinking of these less privileged.
