Just curious anyone out there heard about this?Its seems that a lot of the pledged funds for the tsunami relief effort has not arrived at their designated places and most of these funds seem to have disappeared while being given to certain parties in Malaysia.People these days will just snatch at any opportunity to get rich faster, and the worse part is that these parties should already be maintained by already rich people.At the present moment even the Malaysian govenrment isn't doing anything about these, I feel really ashamed being a Malaysian and even more since the Malaysian government is always critising other countries for what thery are doing wrong but yet it failed in doing anything about this matter.
