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

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.

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

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.

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..

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.

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..

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!

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.

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?
