Below is an SOS email that I received. Please disseminate this information to as many people as possible.
> My father is very critically sick in Singapore General Hospital
(SGH).
>
> Suspected cause : blood infection.
>
> He has internal bleeding and needs blood transfusion URGENTLY.
> Blood group is B- or O-.
>
> It is a very rare blood group because of the negative sign.
>
> Appreciate it very much if you could help to pass the word around to
donors. SGH has run out of this blood group. They are trying to get it
from other hospitals, but this maybe difficult because it is such a rare
blood group.
>
> Please direct interested donors IMMEDIATELY to:
> Singapore General Hospital
> Blk 7, Level 8
> Ward 78 Nurse Counter
>
> Or call Lim Yee Li at 7727046.
>
> Thank you.

Please refer to the article on "Surfers to vote for moderated version of Singapore forum" (The Straits Times Home Section, August 15). A moderated version of soc.culture.singapore may soon come on-line. The addition newsgroup, soc.culture.singapore.moderated which will co-exist with the existing forum, will reject postings which are irrelevant to the local scene or which contain vulgar language.
Internet surfers will decide if there is going to be a moderated version of the popular Internet discussion group, soc.culture.singapore
A vote on the matter will be called in a few weeks' time. Messages will be posted in soc.culture.singapore to inform surfers when and where to send their electronic ballot. Please look out for them.
At the meantime, those who want more information about the forum can do so at http://www.sintercom.org/cfv
