Hello,

Some of us cannot (or at least unable to) contribute by participation. (In my instance, I do not live in M'sia.)

Can someone on this forum set up a Paypal account so that donations can be collected? When a situation arises where donation is required, funds would already be available.

I note one cannot donate to the Pure Life Society because there appear to be a problem with their Paypal account.

Hello DadaRouch,

I am so pleased you responded. I do respect the reasons you put forward and I do not wish to get anyone into trouble. However, I feel this is all a lots of red-tape, etc.

Surely, one of you established members on this site can open a Paypal account in your own name? Until the amount of Ringgits collected become seriously large, you need not worry about status of being an NGO, licence, etc. Afterall, the recepient's Paypal account is not the one who needs to worry; it is the donors who needs to be careful.

I, for one, is not too worried. (I think after reading through the various threads, your reputation [and conscience] is worth more the amount I am likely to donate.) If my donation is 'misused or misappropriated', so what? So, come on ... do something adventurous - one of you moderators open a (or use an existing) Paypal account.

I am a M'sian living abroad and wish to donate something. Facilitate me.

Thanks for your input.

I suppose I am showing my naivety. I forgot things are probably more complicated to set up in M'sia. (In UK, one only need to fill in a 2-page setup form together with a constitition to get a charity off the ground. Yes, there are bogus charities but in the main, people are reasonably honest.)
