A shipping clerk in Tsuen Wan has been bombarded with hundreds of calls from people wanting to save the life of a seven-month-old Singaporean boy because of an e-mail mix-up. Susanna Ng, 38, has been inundated with calls since her mobile phone number was displayed in an e-mail appeal for an O-negative blood match for baby Terrick Wong Keng-han, who suffers from a rare blood disease. The e-mail originated in Singapore but circulated in Hong Kong and did not state the family was from Singapore. Among hundreds of inquiries were calls from the Hong Kong police, the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation, the Red Cross, the Philips company and others. 'I thought it was a fake or some sort of bad joke. But I was later informed by a Web surfer that the e-mail was a genuine message. The sender should have written 'Singapore' beside the name of the hospital,' said Ms Ng, who is married with a son, four. 'I was bombarded with a flood of callers asking for Vincent Wong [Terrick's father]. I have been using all of my energy in explaining what is going on.' The baby is now recovering at home in Singapore after being successfully treated. Ms Ng said a senior police officer from Sha Tin rang saying he would alert police districts to seek help for Terrick. 'Luckily, I stopped him before he did that,' she said. 'But Philips informed me . . . that they relayed the message to over 6,000 staff.' The message was originally sent by Terrick's aunt in Singapore, who did not realise it would go outside the city state. Ms Ng said: 'When the calls stop, I think I will call the family and let them know how much interest the case has aroused.' The baby's family could not be reached for comment last night.
