Renci charity show

last SG · 2007-03-19T14:12:06+00:00

What makes me not to donate is the gurmit force tactic. He's like making a command x2. I also wonder if their crying is from heart or fake ..

Darkness_hacker99 SG

He got soo much salary meh.. Rolling Eyes

Can provide some source..

If really 15k, I Mad Mad Mad

the_unknown SG

can the TS pls provide evidence indicating that venerable shi is getting a salary of 15k/mth?

it was stated here http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/printfriendly/0,4139,99432,00.html that the 15k salary was for Dr Ong Seh Hong, Ren Ci's chief operating officer and clinical director.

guys, pls provide at least some evidences before going on to comment negatively abt others.

Some of you here had made very serious allegations… Unless you have concrete proof, i think it is relatively pointless, immature and foolish to make such remarks… We can talk about the show but commenting on other people’s integrity and moral is not really advisable.

Hi Meltz, ya, i shut off after 5mins of wasting my time.
But i do have a heart. I do charity work and i do donate $$$ to them.

I donate money to the patients in the form of red packet too. in this manner, i ensure that the whole of my red packet solely benefit the patients... I do not want part of my $5 donation to go to paying Sinktel, paying the artiste of these performance, paying the CEO monk his petrol to top up his BMW, etc etc.... i want the total (as far as possible) of my donation to benefit the patients fully.

What is charity? Charity is doing something that u dun expect any reward. Why not lets ask the artiste to perform these stun acts [b]FOR FREE? u think they will?

In short, the more u beg me, the more u do dangerous stuns, the more i will not donate. haha, thats my personal...

To be frank, if the monk TRULY gives up all his $15,000/mth salary, gives up his BMW n take public transport, gives up his condo and donate them to the hospital funds, I WILL BE TOUCHED N DONATE MUCH MUCH A LOT MORE.... no need to do stun acts one, or cry here cry there lure people with weak emotions.

If he can risk his lives to do donations, why not degrade his own luxurios BMW CEO lifestyle n use the surplus to help more patients???

Hi crofty, ya, because part of your donation goes into his $15K/mth, or $250K per month salary.

Hi Xiaomayi, ya, by right audience r not part of it, but, it is so amazing, that after the host urged people to call, then the NEXT SPLIT SECOND several audiences start pressing on their handphones... i dunno whether did they call for real or pressing just to let cameraman shoot?

I dunno whether did the director arranged or asked these audiences to pretend to dial... it is so coincidence n amazing![/b]

Before you take your emotional tandrums further, can you verify that Venerable Shi drives a BMW? Is it a new purchase or a 2nd-3rd hand wreck?

Apart from being pervetedly cynically with your sweeping remarks, have you really performed charity? That being said, do you know what it means to work for free?

Do you expect people, given the current atmosphere, to work entirely for free? These people still need to pay bills, pay taxes and feed mouths while tending to the patients at Ren Ci. Evidently, being an armchair critic, you are certainly entitled to your opinions, but like most people, if you don't agree with it, turn off your TV.

No one here is obliged to donate, least of all you.

I think better not say so much if no concrete proof. some people started something then all join in and it will end up like real.

I am no fan of this guy and i am totally against monks with luxurious items which makes me look down on these fake monksor conman. But i think we need more proof to what has been said about him.

I remember there was an article he said he used to draw 14k salary but then later part no more, but he did not comment on what are the other allowance and benefits he is taking, anyone can find this article?

Car wise he said to be driving BMW, Mercs and Volvo. Volvo was sold for 100k after 10 months of driving with low mileage. Colour of Mercs is grey and car plate is EZ232? anyone can confirm with pictures?

He was said to be staying in a luxurious condo facing the sea, anyone able to tell which condo is that? which floor he staying and who owns the condo?

Taking SIA business class only and shopping in Taipei 101 with chiohunk bf also have been said quite alot of times, anyone able to snap a pictures?

How about his lifestyle? is it luxurious also? things like an expensive watch + a vertu handphone, 24hr air con turn on for him.

We need more facts about this monk.

the_unknown SG

you have spoken quite alot without proof/evidence you know?

pqr SG

where u hear this type of infor??

foomwee88 SG

I remember I had read something like what u said in the news.

I m trying to retrive the article!!!!

Anyway, there is a monk at Tanjong Pagar temple has 2 merz and eat in a high class veg rest daily who really pissed me off.

But anyway,there r so many this type of dishonest ppls, who like to make use of others,what 2 do? as evident in NKF case.

I got some question to ask:
1. Do you think the artiste get salary? I dun believe they do it for free.

2. But i can believe tat, those artiste expression is fake. As they think tat, by showing this kind of face, more calls will cum in. But it is ridiculous lor... Now the economic is so bad still ask ppl to call.

3. How you feel about the gurmit singh? I feel he is too harsh for his tone of talking. He sounds like reprimanding ppl like tis leh. Abit too harsh. Dun u think so?

4. The monk also shouldn't take up the challenge in the first place. As, he is quite old and the strength is not enough but yet he give himself 10 mins to finish it is it? It is ridiculous for mediacorp to give him this challenge.

I don't think charity is just restricted to this show... even without the show, would you give to worthy causes?

If not then I think we don't really have the right to comment much about the reality (or lack of) in the show... because while we are trying to say that these charities are fake, we ourselves have no charity on our part.

On the other hand, why don't we take our cynicism to it's logical conclusion and do away entirely with charity in our soceity? Have this amount set aside to help the poor, no more, no less. Those who die then just too bad lor, at least this was we won't have to question what is real and what is not.

i read once the monk i think is from rjc. smart chap but found his calling in this area.

realistically in the sgp context, it's hard to find high profile guys/gals working for free. they all work for something. as he leads renci hospital, there must be a fair bit of leadership, strategizing and admin work tt he does. whether $10k or $15k, the board decides. if it is all above board and pass the ethics test, why grumble...

hobochua SG

NKF is NKF Ren Ci is Ren Ci...So let be RENCI and cut them some slack ok....
Mingyi Fai shi is a nice man.... Very Happy

Artiwizoras SG

Well, I don't quite support wat TS says but here's something I wonder...

Does the actors not take pay for their performance?

foomwee88 SG

U mean they need 2 build new hospital every year,cauz last year they had collected S$6.8 million also.

80% of S$5 ,000,000 is S$4,000,000 divided by 400 patients is S$10,000 per patient per year plus gov subsidy S$1 for S$1.that is more than S$20,000 p.p/p.y!!!!

OMG!!!!

something is not right!!!!!

pervertboi SG

I donated 5 bucks only coz of the videos… and if i’m cheated, nevermind, i believe in karma..

dragg SG

papers reported they collected 6.49 mill this year and 6.8 mill last year.

1.5 mill of the collection this year will go to the building of a new hospital.

that leaves 5 million.

what about the 6.8 million they collected last year and the dont-know-how-much the year before?

all used up already? how many patients do they have?
