Indonesia on Thursday expressed its gratitude to the international community during a special ceremony called "Indonesia Thanks the World", held at Balai Sudirman in Jakarta.
Representing the international community, the chairman of Singapore's Red Cross, Winston Choo (photo above), said rebuilding Aceh and Nias was a difficult process.
Singapore donated some S$100 million in medical aid, food supplies, housing, pier and hospital construction.
"I would like to congratulate Mr. Yudhoyono's (President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono) decision to establish the BRR, which has helped donors and partners contribute in the reconstruction process," Winston said. (JP/Esther Samboh)
