The article says,
"For funds raised from members of the public, 80 per cent of the funds raised must be applied for charitable purposes within Singapore. The remaining 20 per cent of the funds may be remitted for overseas charitable purposes. "
Red cross raised so much fund but never see it help Singaporean.
