Well, it is nice to help in such colossal disasters like this one. According to the figures above, Cambodia is doing much better than our two richer neighbors, Thailand and Singapore.
But in the coming weeks or months, Thailand and Singapore, as the well off nations, will contribute more than Cambodia for sure.
It is nice to help in humanitarian effort, big or small, even if you are a poor country. We Cambodians, who have suffered from years of wars, have received very generous help in the past. So, it is time to help others whatever amount we can.
