I urge all to give support to the various relief efforts that are being sent here. Though my country was unaffected, I was in Malaysia during the Tsunami and I caught a glimpse of the devastation. I saw so many displaced and they were just wandering around aimlessely.

My family was heading to Pinang Island but we were delayed at the hotel down south. Once we were leaving and driving up North, we saw police barricades asking us to turn back. We saw all sorts of people leaving the area. Lucky ones had cars and motorbikes, while most of the villagers walked on land.

It must be worst in Aceh (Indonesia) and Sri Lanka, where the infrastructure is really bad.

Another thing that concerns me is the water-borne diseases. If aid is not received sufficiently and clean water is not distributed in time, more causualities can be expected.

I am also grateful that Europe, Australia, the Pope and the USA is giving aid, physically and spiritually, in such a crisis as this. Through such disasters the best of humanity can be seen.
