MR RALPH S. LESSLAR: 'The call to contribute money rather than clothing, items and foodstuffs raises a serious issue. Going by the shortfall with respect to the distribution of food and medicine to the Myanmar cyclone victims by the junta, what bothers me is if the donations will suffer the same fate. Will the millions of dollars donated generously by other countries and individuals reach the Myanmar people or will it disappear into the pockets of individuals in charge?'
