The investigation into this case will be just for public consmption.Originally posted by av98m:Nothing has changed. Huan Tang Bu Huan Yao. remember, do not give them anymore of your hard earned money!
If it is a full investigation, done by CPIB in other cases more worms will sure crawl out given the evidences exposed in court by Davinder.
Full investigation will expose the weaknesses of so-called elitism or meritoracy like the 12 month bonuses paid to politicians. It will then lead to defeat of past major government policies proudly credited to the world of achievements of our founders. -

What does everyone have to say on this?Originally posted by caramon.:3. The National Kidney Foundation fiasco is a result of a public body (ie, the NKF) being unaccountable to the general public whose money it is spending. Similar lack of transparency and accountability exists with most of the public linked bodies, from Temasek Holdings to the GIC. Can Singaporeans be sure that the NKF is the only, or even biggest can of worms around? -
It reminded them that it is an offence to organise a public assembly or procession with five or more people
is there a law regulating the amount of people getting together in public places? I thought the constitution says that "all citizens of Singapore have the right to assemble peaceably and without arms" -

Since NKF is not a commercial entity, Why does it need to go to the CAD for assistance?

After one month of dirt-digging thru NKF financial records and past-practices, more dirty laundries may be found. The findings could be very serious in nature that warrent involvment of law-enforcement agencies.
Incriminating evidences can only be presented in any future legal proceedings.
Besides CAD, the CPIB (Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau) may even be involved.
The Saga continues... -
SINGAPORE : The interim board of the National Kidney Foundation has come across "certain matters of grave concern" in the course of its work over the last one month.
It has requested the assistance of the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) to look into these matters, an NKF statement said on Thursday.
The board had appointed accounting house KPMG to conduct an independent audit of the charity.
But it's not known whether this on-going audit has thrown up any "matters of grave concern" or irregularities.
On Thursday, the CAD made its presence felt at the National Kidney Foundation's headquarters at Kim Keat Road.
Its officers were seen leaving the premises shortly after 1 pm.
The department confirmed it has received a complaint from the NKF - but said it's inappropriate to comment further as investigations are on-going.
However for patients and staff of NKF, it was business as usual.
The news comes as another blow to staff morale, just a month after the NKF saga put the charity under the spotlight.
The mood among the staff at the NKF's headquarters is pensive - they have been asked by their chairman Mr Gerard Ee to be truthful in answering questions if they are called upon to help in the investigations by the Commercial Affairs Department.
Dr Ernest Kan, Vice-President, Institute of Certified Public Accountants, said: "People don't call in the CAD until such time they suspect there may be criminal breach of trust. If there is criminal breach of trust, the matter could be very serious - it could involve issues such as misappropriation of assets by the organisation and skimming of cash, donations collected and not recorded - this is of course highly speculative, but the moment you call in the CAD, the issue is quite serious."
The NKF said the matters had been referred to the authorities, and so it was not at liberty to discuss them now.
In July, the revelations stemming from the high-profile defamation suit by NKF against Singapore Press Holdings led to the resignations of its former CEO Mr T T Durai and the entire NKF board.
Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan then reiterated the Government would not hesitate to take action if investigations showed up any wrongdoing.
He said: "Certainly if there has been fault, or acts which are wrong, we have to act. You know my position on these sort of these I don't condone such practices."
The CAD's presence at NKF shows that action has indeed been taken.
Investigations are expected to take some time before the public will know the exact nature of the "grave concerns". - CNA /ch

SINGAPORE : Some Singaporeans were surprised by news that the National Kidney Foundation had requested the assistance of the Commercial Affairs Department to investigate "certain matters of grave concern" - while others said it was all a matter of time.
But the CAD's probe has got many talking about the NKF once again.
Singaporeans are wondering what CAD officers could be looking into at the NKF.
While many hope the investigations will bring about greater transparency at such a big charity organisation, others say donations may once again be affected.
One person commented on it affecting public confidence, "...I mean you're supposed to be a charity organisation but yet you have investigators coming in to check you; that's of serious concern."
Another however noted, "It does not mean that CAD goes in and it's immediately a major problem. It's just to rectify and to make sure that the implementation and policies are adhered to."
A third said, "It's a question of the public being surprised once and now it's a second time. So it's something that's really unexpected."
"Let's be very fair. With the new management on, we should give them the benefit of the doubt. In fact, I've reinstated my donations," noted one person.
"With this, I guess donors will stop donating. I just feel very sorry for the people, the patients at NKF, they're going to suffer the most. We'll see how it goes," said another.
But one charity hopes the CAD's involvement will not affect donations to welfare organisations.
Lee Kim Siang, Chairman, Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society, said, "It's an optimistic kind of thing, it's a positive thing. We should not look at it from a negative or pessimistic point.
"It isn't that way. After all charities have to go on. It has to go on. Out there a lot of people require help. We must continue to help but we do it better.
"How can it be wrong when we're discovering things that ought to have been discovered. When we're looking at things that were already there. And we're now trying to find out the extent of these things and then put it back. And put it back means the future will be better. Everybody will be more confident, everybody will know what should be done, what shouldn't be done. And the whole charity scene will be that much better."
The Society has been in existence for some 26 years - offering more than 50 charity programmes and services, including running the Ang Mo Kio Hospital. - CNA/ms
