In a bid to garner more pageviews spur Singaporeans to greater heights and become responsible sentient beings, the 170-year-old, venerable The Straits Times reported yesterday that some Singaporeans donated some useless items in a Nepal earthquake donation drive.

Even though the percentage of said useless items form just 5% of 90 tonnes of items collected so far.

Among the useless items that heartless Singaporeans donated? Old bras, expired medicine and puzzle sets - all victims of some early spring cleaning.

Never mind that the headline can be written as "Singaporeans donated 90 tonnes of useful items, 95% of which are useful" or "Many Singaporeans donated useful things to survivors". That would be too uninspiring and un-newsworthy as "Singaporeans" and "useful" are one pat too many on Singaporeans' backs.

We can clearly do better.

Despite probably being surrounded by 95% of useful items during the interview with the boss of a logistics company, who is helping to store the 95% in his warehouse in Tuas, it is more important to talk about the 5% because anything less than 100% is bad.

By the way, only if you have time, here's the 95%:

And some 300 volunteers helping to sort out the 95%.

Here's a netizen who only reads the headline believes Singaporeans can do more:

Here's one who bothers to read the entire story is clearly getting complacent in Straits Time's eyes.

If you want to make it more than 95%, you can donate these items:
