Yesterday, I read an article on the newspaper regarding a China student studying in Singapore is diagnose with leukemia. The school is helping him to get the public to donate money for his medical expenses. To my surprise, some refuse to donate because he’s from China.

Well, I do know that donating is a volunteer basis. Some can choose not to donate. But this reason is a joke to me. It shows the naiveness and childishness of these people.

Why would you want to differentiate between Singapore or China? Aren’t we both human as well? When we take away the titles, there is no difference between us.

A life is a life. A life doesn’t know colours, race, dialects, countries. How sad it is when people starts to form mindset about some, ostracized those who are not like them, seeing them with filtered glasses. Isn’t that how many wars have started?

It is sad that young Singaporean behaved this way. But there are some who looked past all this. There are some who is willing to help. Maybe there is still hope for the future. How about you, will you help if he’s from China?
