Travellers at Changi airport have donated $50,570 to the Singapore Red Cross Tidal Waves Asia fund

In just two weeks, travellers and visitors to Singapore Changi airport dropped $50,570 into collection boxes distributed by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) in terminals 1 and 2. The money has been handed over to the Singapore Red Cross and will help to buy medical supplies and rebuild infrastructure in countries affected by last December's tsunami.

CAAS director-general Wong Woon Liong said: "We thank travellers and visitors to Changi airport for their contribution to the tsunami efforts. We are heartened that even as passengers went about their travels through Changi, they remembered and were sympathetic to the plight suffered by the tsunami victims."
