The educated masses aren't disputing his 25K salary. They are
neither doubting that he has done much charity work for NKF and
probably brought NKF to the level it is now.
But it is his ethics and conduct throughout the proceedings that
have drawn disgust, along with the evasive and dishonest side he
showed regarding the 1st class airfare and 12-month bonus
issues.
Afterwards, he did not step down of his own accord or
unconditionally; instead, he asked for 'advice' on whether he
should step down from Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan. Does that
indicate he was still unwilling to do the
'right thing' as Vivian Balakrisnan observed?
The fact that he also preferred to harp on his achievements of the
past 37 years instead of accepting the real reasons why he was
'forced' into relinquishing his post had [b]'brazen' and
'arrogance' written all over it. Clearly he is
still in denial. He believes he has done no wrong and that as CEO
of trustee's monies, he was 'entitled' to such creature comforts
without weighing best value or consequence.
Legally, he is in the clear and perhaps he set out with good
intentions. But he was devoid of humility and morality, and for a
man running a charitable organisation, this was inevitable.

i agree, it was nvr his pay and bonus, sim wong hoo etc...got
more than him i guess. yet no one is questioning his pay and some
even like sim and other rich ppl for their charitable acts.
it is durai's attitude that brought him down. words like ' it is my
private business' when asked abt his pay,etc...acted like a
catalyst.
