They burst into chants when the three minutes passed.<br /> <br /> In unison, the huge crowd shouted "Jia you! Jia you!," an exhortation that can be loosely translated as "Go! Go!", while punching the air with their fists.<br /> <br /> Others shouted out "Long live China!," "Long live Sichuan!," and "Long live Wenchuan!"<br /> <br /> Wenchuan county was the epicentre of last Monday's earthquake, which measured 8.0 on the Richter scale and devastated a wide area of Sichuan province.<br /> <br /> China kicked off a three-day national mourning period on Monday, ordering all flags at half-mast throughout the country and at Chinese embassies and missions overseas. It halted all cultural and entertainment activities.<br /> <br /> The Beijing Olympic torch relay that had been making its way through China also has been halted for three days. - AFP/de</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">&nbsp;</p> Tue, 20 May 2008 05:27:29 +0800 crappology.sgforums.com:8:317311:8099239 maurizio13 http://crappology.sgforums.com/forums/8/topics/317311 <blockquote> <div class="quote_from">Originally posted by Luc85:</div> <div class="quote_body"> <p>on seeing how the responses, and how the way&nbsp;the govt of&nbsp;China and myanmar junta works with the relief efforts.....</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>if u have the chance, which country would u help?</p> </div> </blockquote> <p><br /> both.</p> <p>we are helping the common folks, not the government, because some government can be very anal.</p> Sat, 17 May 2008 23:00:29 +0800 crappology.sgforums.com:8:317311:8093755 maurizio13 http://crappology.sgforums.com/forums/8/topics/317311 <p>on seeing how the responses, and how the way&nbsp;the govt of&nbsp;China and myanmar junta works with the relief efforts.....</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>if u have the chance, which country would u help?</p> Sat, 17 May 2008 16:30:22 +0800 crappology.sgforums.com:8:317311:8093055 Luc85 http://crappology.sgforums.com/forums/8/topics/317311 <p><img src="http://blog.cctv.com/upfiles/images/00/02/2E/21.jpg" alt="" /></p> Sat, 17 May 2008 15:39:33 +0800 crappology.sgforums.com:8:317311:8092939 Colby http://crappology.sgforums.com/forums/8/topics/317311 <p>that would have teach them to respect nature and stop stealing others job.</p> Sat, 17 May 2008 00:18:43 +0800 crappology.sgforums.com:8:317311:8091803 youyayu http://crappology.sgforums.com/forums/8/topics/317311 <p>hope they built good quakeproof buildings for the people…poor suffering people…</p> Fri, 16 May 2008 22:43:44 +0800 crappology.sgforums.com:8:317311:8091539 oberon http://crappology.sgforums.com/forums/8/topics/317311 <p><cite class="">Channel NewsAsia - <span>37 minutes ago</span></cite></p> <h1 class="">Singapore’s rescue team arrives in China</h1> <p>SINGAPORE: Fifty five officers from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) have arrived in China on Friday to help local authorities in search and rescue efforts.</p> <p>The death toll from Monday’s 7.9—magnitude quake has left over 22,000 dead, but China said the number is expected to exceed 50,000.</p> <p>Rescuers are still battling landslides, buckled roads and collapsed bridges in their efforts to rescue those trapped under fallen structures.</p> <p>The Singapore rescue team — codenamed Operation Lion Heart — includes seasoned officers from the elite Disaster Assistance &amp; Rescue Team (DART).
