The flood that recently hit Malaysia are claimed to be the worst flood ever in Malaysia. Thousands of family are affected, and the number might increase anytime as the Meteorological Department expect heavy rain to hit the east coast states in the peninsula as well as Klang Valley. The flood victims are currently in need of daily necessities, therefore, donation are much needed.
Nabil Feisal of LoudTalk.net sent me an e-mail yesterday regarding to his “Malaysian Bloggers Flood Campaign”. He also made a donation campaign using PayPal and urge all Malaysian Bloggers to help by requesting for donation on our blogs. I was in doubt at the time whether to do so or not. I’m afraid that the fund raised will be used on other stuff instead of donating to the flood victims.
However, I have decided to post this up today. This doesn’t mean that I can assure that the donation is genuine and not a scam. But just doing what I can do to help the victims, since I can’t donate(no PayPal, no check, no credit card, what to do?). Therefore, there is still risk that this is a scam – I mean the donation, not the flood news. The donation made are not handled, or even touched by me, but Nabil. I won’t even know how many, how much, or other details about the donation made.
Therefore, donate at your own risk!!
To learn more about the flood, check out the news at TheStar and New Straits Times.

Vincent, I see that you are still skeptical. And I know that there are many other bloggers as well as people who are still skeptical about my idea.
So I’ve came up with another idea.
I’m planning to hold a Year End BBQ Dinner for participating bloggers in the Malaysian Bloggers Flood Donation Campaign.
I’ll will update everyone with more info. as soon as possible. I’m setting all the details for the BBQ dinner now
