Dear Alumni,
Last weekend, the tragic death of one of our PG students Mr Ge Wei Wei
shocked all of us. As we grieve the loss of Wei Wei who came from a poor
rural family, with the assistance of various parties, the University is
launching a donation campaign to help Wei Wei's family. Donation
accounts have been set up for this purpose. These accounts have been
activated now and will close on Wednesday 21 November 2007.
If you wish to help the bereaved family, please note the following
channels you can send your donation to. Please note that you may claim
tax deduction if your donation exceeds $100. You will need an official
receipt for tax deduction purpose.
1. Cash

Lifts 17-18) in person and give your donation to the counter staff
during office hours (9 am - 12:45 pm and 2 pm - 5:15 pm Mon to Fri). An
official receipt will be issued on the spot.
