Since I don't know how long ago, I stopped supporting the
Singapore's Charity TV Shows. I'm only drawing a mere wage..hardly
enough to feed my own mouth, plus with the flag days and Charity
shows so often, much as I want to help, I really can't.
Flag days used to be only on Saturdays. But now, it's happening
almost everyday.
TV Charity show used to only have NKF, but it gradually increase so
much a year that I lost count. Let's see, there's NKF, the Heart
Foundation, The Cancer Foundation, The President Star Charity, the
Ren Ci show and the list goes on...
Such overdose of charity show simply makes my heart just harden and
immune to all the trumatic trailers.
Out of all the shows, I honestly only have respect for the Ren Ci
show. I can't deny how much effort Rev Ming Yi puts in to raise
funds for his own organisation. Think about it, how many
organisation in-charge comes out to do stunts on the charity to
raise funds themselves? Do you see Durant from NKF performing ever
once? Or do you see our President doing his part to raise money for
his own fund? All they do is just to sit with the audience
comfortably enjoying their own show and the celebrities risking
their lives.
On this, Rev Ming Yi, I really respect you for your selfless, nobel
efforts.
I feel strongly that if you want money, come ask for it and sweat
for it. You don't sit there and wait for money to fall. Just as I
don't donate to the students who are not sincere about raising
funds or expect us to go up to them to donate while they're sitting
and holding the tins.. Whoever approachs and asks, I seldom reject.
As the saying goes, "Ask and it'll be given".
Recently, my company was trying to raise funds for the Tsunamis
Tragic, and working in a bank, with a lot of high flyers, high
income earners, I expected thousands to flood in. But a week had
past, and I'm disappointed with the collections. Only a miserable
few bucks came in.
As the Chinese says, the rich ones are the stingy ones. The rich
gets richer and the poor get poorer.
I'm ashamed of those earning huge bucks but not contributing a
penny back to the society. May you be so blessed and never need
anyone's help cause fat hope that I'll help you! If that ever
happens to you, may you starve on the streets and eat back on your
own retribution. Shame on you!!
Anyway, I despise the telco for charging the darn 21cents
admin/service/gst charge. Common, it's for charity purpose, can't
they freaking waive out this darn charge? With all the charity
shows, they must had made big bucks from it. "mei liang sin
de!"
If Singapore Idol can get 3 million calls, why can't Renci get
their 6 million calls?
