[Straits Times] Help Nepal, in gratitude to Gurkhas

THE Gurkhas are a very well-respected police contingent in Singapore.
Their work involves protecting key areas in Singapore, including former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew's Oxley Road home, as well as being on guard during regional meetings held in Singapore.
We should show our gratitude to them by helping them, now that their land, Nepal, has been devastated by an earthquake ("Death toll climbs as Nepal struggles in quake aftermath"; Monday).
How about setting up a donation counter at Raffles City? Their presence was felt there whenever there were regional meetings at the nearby Suntec convention centre.
