10 cent of each charity dollar went to subsidise NKF patient

last SG · 2005-12-19T19:13:14+00:00

another charity in the limelight. SIF and Metro raised funds for Padtec (laos) to help school children but the funds were spread to other projects. many we...

chunyong SG

he won't have to pay cos he got $ and got big supporter behind leh....the most fine him i think, fine eeerrrrrrmmmmmm maybe 100K ? yi si yi si lah, just to ensure he is 'punished' to appease the public.

Sleeping Forest SG

Durai is jus a dummy to cover up for those for those whu r oso invloved bt nt revealed.

They shld reveal e whole list of ppl instead of jus mentioning Durai.

sbst275 SG

Well, there should be a follow up onto the report because as I see it, it is still not very clear onto how they are runned... There was an article bef this that staff back then could just apply for medical claim or what...

dragg SG

they are obviously hoping that singaporeans conveniently forget about the whole matter and let them raise more funds.

chunyong SG

yes, dats the gist

sbst275 SG

But if we continue to be plauged by this issue, there is no way we can move on and improve on the control of charity organisations in Singapore

dragg SG

then they have to face it and do what is necessary instead of trying to con us time and again.

sbst275 SG

Well, I think what has happened now, the media has partly to blame

BillyBong SG

There will be a reckoning for all the cronies who abused their positions and the system to secure their power base. Not just Durai. It's now a question of relativity: who was more culpable in their actions will be singled out and put in the hot seat.

The KPMG report will be studied in full detail before the current board decides their next move.

chunyong SG

aiyah, the ball push there push here, wait when energy cannot overcome the frictional forces then natural death liao mah...standard one

fudgester SG

I seem to be getting the sense that the current board is hesistant about making any more moves, though. To quote Channel NewsAsia:

NKF Chairman Gerard Ee stressed, however, that any action taken will have to be weighed against the costs of such action, as this involves donor money.

I guess they believe that conserving their reserves is probably more important than taking action. Confused

sbst275 SG

Well, that amt of money lost by the irresponsible ex-executive committee can never be recovered

But I kinda find that, even no press charges may be taken, such ppl will eventually have no good end in their lives

BillyBong SG

The board has already devoted much of the available resources into righting the wrongs committed by the dictatorship rule from the last regime. See the weblink below for more info:

Legal action is a more expensive proposition. The list of defendants have to be drawn up. Details have to be bundled and studied. The charges have to be addressed. The damages to seek must be thoroughly examined. That's a lot of work....probably months before their lawyers can start legal proceedings.

So don't expect a fast outcome...instead get your popcorn and standby for soap drama.

macjoe SG

For every dollar, here's where it goes into:

$0.25 Projects
$0.15 Salaries
$0.10 Supplies
$0.10 Utilities
$0.10 Audit
$0.10 Charity TV show organiser
$0.10 Telco
$0.10 Patient subsidy

I think with legal actions, 10cts patient subsidy will become 5cts.

Shocked

Glen999 SG

Durai is to blame.

But i think he is not the only one.

Don't just shift all the blames to Durai and put him as 'the only sacred scapegoat'.

One hand doesn't clap. Other people must be held responsible.

poon pee pee SG

Those freaking crooks, TT Durai, Matilda Chua & all who aided them should not get away scot-free with so much of their ill-gotten wealth.

The CPIB & Police should immediately detain them for further investigations and have all their valid travel passports impounded before they abscond. Mad
