A wealthy Indonesian family that owns a coal mining company in Indonesia donated on Wednesday S$1 million (about US$782,000) to the Japanese Embassy in Singapore to help the victims of the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan.
Elaine Low, 24, daughter of Low Tuck Kwong, owner of PT Bayan Resources, handed a check for the amount to Japanese Ambassador in Singapore Yoichi Suzuki.
The U.S. magazine Forbes ranks Low the third richest Indonesian, with assets worth $3.6 billion this year.
The Low family has many friends in Japan and fond memories of Japan's Tohoku region, one of the regions worst hit by the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and ensuing tsunami.
