LCW donating part of 300,000rm to earthquake victims

[Dimplex]

I read in 'The Star' that lcw is going to donate some of his 'bonus' to the Sichuan earthquake victims. What a great human being. Here is the article:

KUALA LUMPUR: Lee Chong Wei's parents hope the Malaysian public will not be annoyed with his son's performance in the Olympic men's singles final in Beijing last night.
The father, Ah Chai, said: “He was off form and made so many mistakes. I think my son could not handle the pressure.
“It was just not his day. I feel bad that my son failed to deliver the first gold medal for Malaysia in the Olympics. But I am pleased that he managed to achieve the target of reaching the final.
“He is the first Malaysian to qualify for the Olympic men's singles final. I think that he should continue playing and go for the gold in the 2012 Olympics in London.”
A group of 30 reporters and photographers were at Chong Wei's parents' house in Bukit Hatamas in Cheras to watch the final match on television last night.
Ah Chai and the wife Kor Kim Choi were clearly disappointed after the tame loss. Also at the house to watch the match were Chong Wei's sister Ming Ching and her husband K.S. Tung.
The 55-year-old Ah Chai added that Chong Wei called yesterday to inform him that he would donate some of the money from the RM300,000 reward to the Sichuan earthquake victims.
“He told me that if he wins the gold, he will give more money to the earthquake victims. I am proud of his caring nature,” said Ah Chai.

I read in 'The Star' that lcw is going to donate all of his 'bonus' to the Sichuan earthquake victims. What a great human being. Here is the article:

Are you sure? The story said "if he wins the gold" and "some of the money". Is it to early to say he donates "all" the winning. Do you have a better source?

LCW is really a great guy. Thank you, LCW.

How about donating some of the money to local charities - like the ophanages ? As they say, charity starts at home.

[newplayer]

I hope Lin Dan will match that ...

[robin7]

I'm not surprised that it comes from a great guy like LCW. LCW, I'm really proud of you.

The choice of charity is an individual decision. There are many deserving charities. There are also other benefactors.

Questioning on choice of charity is not really important. He didn't need to donate anything to anybody.

Agreed! That is very good of LCW even when it is SOME of the bonus money. :) Thanks for sharing.

[jhirata]

This shows how humble he is :)

[Pemuda]

One word : Class.

[espnzhang]

Chong Wei, you are my hero!

He and some of the guys in the badminton team has been doing it regularly to the local Malaysian Orphanage. They donated money, shirts, shoes etc.
Not many people knows about it.
Some pll say these guys are all ego.. but they are nice pll.

Wonderful LCW! You are a great sportsman with big heart. We are proud of you.

[``miamihero]

He is such a generous athlete.
Well, Im still proud of you chong wei, we have to credit him for the silver medal. :)

YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

[metalmon1188]

you should change the title of the thread man, donating rm 300,000 i was like wow hes donating all the money.
i would like to see so called chinese Hero Yao ming to donate more money, last year he earned about 55 million US and he onli donated like 80 grand.
created quite a stir.
what a saint

[Dreamzz]

i don't think we should be comparing how much one person donates compared to how much that person makes. we should all just be grateful for any donation that anyone makes, after all, it's a gesture of goodwill not an obligation.

[metalmon1188]

still he could have donated more.

Maybe Lee CW have a very difficult decision to make. After all we are proud of him and will support what ever decision he made

[orangjauh]

What a generous Chong Wei ;)

I think you have got it wrong. Yao Ming donated US$2 million to the Sichuan earthquake. He also created a foundation, the Yao Ming Foundation, to specifically rebuild Chinese schools devastated by the recent earthquake. This man has a big heart.

[george@chongwei]

actually i don't think just lee chong wei donating moneys to those who are in need or poor..i believe other players also did donate some moneys..they just dont want to sound out publicly..

[bad_fanatic]

Well I think the title is a bit misleading. In the article, it didn't say that LCW is going to donate 300,000rm. It mentioned that he was going to donate SOME of the 300,000 rm bonus.

However I think that it's very generous of him to be donating some of his earning toward the victims regardless of the amount.

[Smichz]

Hopefully he can do better in big matches like olympic in the future.Good to hear that he also donate the bonus for the earthquake victims.I wonder did LD also do the same..

[badcliq]

From The Star report today,

"Asked what he would do with the money, Lee told reporters that he might buy a house and live there with his parents. When teased that he could use the cash to get married, Lee coyly replied: “No, I’m still too young for that.”"

seems that he's buying a house soon! :D

[allexking]

For me it is very irritating to question, criticize how much a donor will donate.
Donating is from bottom of the heart of that donor.
Who are we to question about that.
We should ask ourself instead of other people how generous we are?
Please dont compare with what donor earns & donate.
What is more irritating if donations wrongly abused.
We should be happy LCW have a good & generous heart.

[Kamen]

i respect LCW for donating but why the need to sound it our publicly by his dad?

The media probably asked him what LCW would do with the money and he just conveyed LCW's wishes. What's wrong with that as long as LCW make good on his generosity?
