Well regardless - it is still an incredible amount considering that their goal was S$3.5 million.

SINGAPORE : The amount raised at the end of the Thong Chai Charity Night telecast should be S$7.23 million and not S$8.67 million as announced.

The discrepancy, shown at the end of the telecast on Channel 8 on Sunday night, was due to a technical error.

The phone lines for donations are still open until March 31.

The show has also helped to raise the profile of Thong Chai Institution.

On Monday, some 1,000 people turned up to seek treatment, sharply higher than the usual 600.

Thong Chai had to stop registration at noon, but took down the contact numbers of those who were turned away for another appointment. - CNA/ms
