CHARITIES should not raise more money than they really need, and
when they do raise funds, should do it morally, said Dr Balaji
Sadasivan, Senior Minister of State for Health.
He was speaking yesterday at the launch of voluntary welfare
organisation Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society's first-ever public
fund-raising project.
Dr Balaji, who is also Senior Minister of State for Information,
Communications and the Arts, said in his speech that donating helps
reaffirm the individual humanity of each donor.
So donors expect the fund-raising process to be morally and
ethically correct.
He gave the example of how images of sick children may maximise
fund-raising abilities but the children involved could suffer
permanent psychological scars with such a public display.
Will anything be done abt it ?
