I think most of you have received this message in sms or email, asking to spread around. Or some even post it at bulletin board.

For goodness sake, whoever started this please have a kind heart first. 不要把你的無聊建在別人的痛苦上。

Because of too many bo-liaoers simply use the convenience of sms or email, and start spreading forward messages like this around. Hence, I start to have doubts.

As far as I am concern, I don’t believe it. For it has few doubtful points.

  1. B+ blood is not a very rare type. He can receive blood from O+ or O-, which is easily available in blood bank (at HSA). Other than that, O+ is very common in Singapore.
     
  2. Having blood can’t cure blood cancer. Only sutiable bone marrow can help.

I understand that most of your intention is good, wanting to give a helping hand. But please verify the authenicity of the message first, if possible.

I would hope some relevant authority can come out with proper channels for hospitals to broadcast for help from public.

Also, people stop forwarding ‘curse’ messages (like above) around. You are just cursing other, and is irrating. I dun mind if you forward well-wishes message (like below) around.
