What have the well to do people in thier own country have done for them. For the past 2 years I have seen people are decking diamonds and lavishing buffets in the hotel. Some of own fellow Singaporeans are suffering for the next meal and have to sell thier own house because they cannot afford to pay the bank loan. Divorce rates escalates due to financial constraint and I am not sure about people commiting suicide because of finance. Many have to leave thier families to work overseas and for worse they have to take local terms to get a job in overseas market which pays very little.
We may not affected by water that swept many away but many have quietly swept away from spouses, house and friends.

What is $62 million to Singapore Governement? Every month there are about 4,000 new cars registered. Take average OMV of 20,000. ARF, Duty and COE the Government can collect for Singaporean per month is about 4,000 * (20,000 * 1.3 {1.1 AFR & 0.2 Duty} + 10,000 {COE}), which is $144 million.
Come on, Singaporean may be suffering, but the Governement is damn loaded! $62 million is just a "peanut" to them.

The tsunami that occured in 2004 affected many South-East Asian international locations which comprise (so as of first to final in devastation) Indonesia, Sri Lankia, India and Thailand. the different international locations that have been hit weren't secure because of the large difference between the 4th maximum badly affected usa to the 5th.
