Dear all,
As Singaporeans, we are all sadden by the news of Singapore's first casualty to international terrorism.
I am sure like many others, we were especially distraught by the revelation.
Violence and killing or all other conflicts are tremendous casualties that the human race needs to begin to do without though any student of history would attest that that is almost an impossibility. This is since, the history of the human species has shown that while there are those few that work tirelessly for peace and harmony yet there are many more others that decide to go for the emotionally quick fixed solution.
Having said that and as we mourn for the loss of the Singaporean live, let us also reflect on the many more lives that have become casualties in a conflict that has lasted more than 50 years through state or legislated terrorism.
This is equally wrong and far more de-generative since in such cases it displace more lives and what is made worse is the resources that are avail for a state as compared to a pool of under-resourced amateurs are far and deep.
As a result, refugee camps all over the world houses these innocent civilians in Central Africa, Lebanon and other parts of the world whom carries with them memories of violence and conflicts by the state or the very own authorities that were suppose to take care of them. Many of whom have also lost their love ones.
The closing date for Saff Perdaus' Qurban 2008 for Refugees from Palestine and Darfur is on: 5th December 2008 which is about 5 more days.
We are still far from our intended 5000 cans of meat but we do hope that with your encouraging support - the help we seek to offer, collectively, becomes a reality.
For order or more information, call Sis Nur Afifah (Saff Perdaus, Executive Officer) today at 6513 2305 or afifah@perdaus.org.sg
Thank you.
