ORIGAMIST SG Yesterday I was approached by two different persons to donate to the President Star Charity.. I donated. It then strike me, why must there is a donation drive asking common folk to donate when the Presidents and the Cabinet minister is drawing hugh salary.. If a common folk salary is on average $1200 per month and donated $10, that would be about 0.83%. If the President and the Minister donate same percentage, there won't be a need to have this drive right ?? Please correct me if I am wrong. [/b]
ORIGAMIST SG One stiudents and one adult approached. The students is thinking they are doing charity and I think it is good, the adult, maybe out of committment, ( forced by RC etc ... ) ... both are doing a good deed so we shouldn't tell them to go fly kite .. we should ask the organiser to go fly one ..
4getmenot SG well since the common folks and the students are doing all the dirty work.. maybe the upper folks already have enought 'times' on their hands flying kites somewhere in East Coast..
FBI SG sometimes i really duno how to react.. i can jus walk off but later on i will feel guilty.. but the again i asking myself, are they real?
Slipshade SG I can't help but notice that the minimum donation amount is $5. Ridiculous, if you ask me.
Medicated Oil SG They should rename it "poodle scam charity". All the money collected are from the stupid peasants. Even the money collected from the big companies are donated by the staff, which are the peasants. May as well call it "peasants scam charity".
qlqq9 SG ask not only about the President, but ask if all ministers, especially LEE HSIEN LOONG, SM and MM are donating. They are the leaders of Singapore, so let the leaders take the lead then we follow.
Fingolfin_Noldor SG The funniest thing is this: You'd think they want good PR and go donating money to the needy so as to at least give some semblance that they actually care. I guess they couldn't even be bothered.
jam on a bread SG Well if anyone sell charity tix..u know where is the other quarter of money goes to..
soul_rage SG I DO NOT donate to charity organizations because this is exactly what the PAP wants - Outsource charity to the normal Singaporeans like you and I so that they don't need to use their super reserves to help the needy. I do however, donate specifically to old folks or people that are selling tissues on the streets.
allentyb SG well, they did mention, that all money goes directly to the charity. not all charity raise funding campaign is as bad as NKF and beside, any sort of donation is of, free will, it doesn't matter, that you are a politician or a commoner.
