News Article - Yao's 'stingy' China quake donation sparks debate

In the above article, the cheenas are criticizing Yao Ming for making a donation of 500,000 yuan (70,000 dollars) to China's earthquake relief. Many claimed that the amount is only peanuts to someone who earned some 55 million dollars from basketball and sponsorship activities and has been at the top of the Forbes magazine list of richest Chinese celebrities for the past five years. Comments include "He's been drinking milk and eating bread (like an American) for a while and he's forgotten where he comes," "You are Chinese!" He later increased his donation to 2 million yuan due to the negative publicity.

My baby read about this from a local online forum. Someone claimed that China rejected the donation made by Singapore, claiming that they would rather not accept since our donation amount is too small. I have tried to search for relevant news articles on the net but to no avail. Since I'm not very well-tuned to local and global news, would appreciate if someone will be able to point me to any official source. I did however, come across the article below about our contributions towards the China earthquake victims. I feel that what we have done here is already sufficient, taking into consideration that we are not very affluent as compared to the other European countries.

Anyway, I am not very fond of our Chinese counterparts in Singapore. I have always dislike certain traits such as being loud, unreasonable unethical, which majority of them posses in my opinion. I readily believed when I was told of the above. Donations if you ask me, is not a necessity but something done out of goodwill / compassion. If I were to donate 10 dollars to a beggar and he throws back my 10 bucks telling me that he only take 50s. I am not obligated to help them since they do not bring much benefit to my homeland other than giving us a higher level of noise pollution with their overly loud conversations and their unethical acts of peeing in our trains.

I am not indicating that we should discriminate the cheenas and not make any form of donations towards the China earthquake fund. I am just grossed out at how the cheenas expect everyone to make a big contribution like it was something compulsory. Does it boil down to the communist culture that all people should share equal wealth or just because it is the upbringing and culture instilled in them since young (e.g. peeing in train). I have made my point.
