But God, those are human.. Every single count.. The koi food we feed our koi each day can fill the stomach of many victims. So can we all put together and stop feeding our koi for a day or two and donate the money to the victims?
I might be in the wrong forum pushing for a different thing, but please bear a though for those victims while you are looking at your koi.. Imagine this disaster happens in Singapore.. Do you think you can still have the mood to feed your koi.....
Sorry if this posting upsad you.
Regards Hi Welson , Charity Drives in Singapore has gone a long way since the Myanmar & China disasters that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives , as well as millions made homeless and hungry . Donations poured in , would only help the physical side , while many sympathical hearts cried along with those victims who had losts their love ones . Singaporeans do have a big heart . Trust me , there's plenty of Koi Hobbyists , together with many donors as well as charity organisations , that have made contributions one way or another , and donations are still pouring in every minute as I write this to you . YOU ARE NOT ALONE .

Most donors , including Koi Hobbyists have been doing their part all these while , but on a more discreet manner or probably donors feel insignificant over their contributions , or probably felt what we donors have done is merely doing our small bit for the community . Probably your message or idea only reaches a small pool of hobbyists in this Koi Circle . This appeal should have been raised by SKC , but unfortunately ...................

Nevertheless , I would still support your good intention to raise funds for Singapore Red Cross . I would bowl out 5 to 10 of my Gosankes . Most of these Gosankes have not been put out for Koi Show before . They were mainly Jumbo Tosai or Nisai when I bought them . Most from Sakai fish farm or other reputable farm in Japan . These kois dun comes cheap for me , easily above $sin 5,000 each when I bought them , some cost much more . I have been keeping these kois for future show , current size easily now above 65 bu - maybe 70 - 75 bu ?? I have not been measuring these Kois for almost a year . Not a good practice to be always catching and measuring fishes . I do not agree to auction my fishes , but would simply suggest interested buyers make out a Sin$ 5,000/- cheque to Singapore red Cross for each of my " future " - gauranteed females ( I do not keep a single male ) , and hand it to Max Ng to be forwarded . I will try to get Max Ng to take photos of these Kohakus / sankes / Showa or Shiro and post it by next Monday . Interested buyer can simply take a trip to Max Koi Farm from next week after I put them in the quarantine area . By next Friday , these Kois should be able to be packed and send to your place . Believe Max will be supportive enough to do all the manual work or even put out more Kois for this drive of yours . If 10 is not enough , I will take out 20 Gosankes .. and if 20 gosankes is still not enough , I will send a message to farm dealers in Japan to support this drive of yours to raise funds for Singapore Red Cross .

Cheers Welson Regards David Soon
