Myanmar Situation - Update 4

Dear All,

It has been many days since our last update on the situation.

Basically, not much has changed except that the heavy rain is returning. Myanmar is currently into its annual raining season. This would greatly hamper the relief work on the ground.

We are beginning to received news that some of our crew members’ families were affected by the storm. There have been some casualties and property damages. Such information is still very much incomplete but we continued to put in our best efforts in collating such news.

Monsoon (Singapore and Yangon) is helping out with some relief work in two nearby towns around Yangon. We have remitted USD30,000 to our Yangon office to start up a relief fund for the purpose of buying food and medical supplies for the township that we are helping. We know this amount is small in comparison with what needs to be done, however, our intention is to help out in whatever way we can at our level. Some of our crew who are on leave had also voluntarily offered their help to assist our office in despatching the supplies. Manpower besides financial aid is equally important too!

Yesterday, we had sent out an appeal for donation to many of our business associates and friends. We hope to be able to collect some funding to further support our Yangon office in prolonging their relief efforts.

Best Regards
