`monk's 15K salary....
-
I m surprised no one comented about this......
"The chief executive officer and chairman of Ren Ci Hospital and Medicare Centre receives no perks or bonuses, earns $15,000 a month _ lower than the Durai yardstick but higher than most others in the field _ and most remarkably is willing to make it public."

Ven Shi Ming Yi's salary is not worth commenting at all, IMO. Ren Ci is very much a charitable organisation while NKF seems to be turning into a corporation.
A side note, did you guys know one of the Ren Ci staff is a PAP MP? -
This is fuzzy. He is supposed to abstain from pleasures of life - wealth, lust etc etc
But then they have to pay him sum bit of monies because he has to manage a very large charity organisation.
No idea man...
Btw, is he paid bonus on top of the 15k? -
Nope, no bonuses.

If the Ren Ci Hospital have footed the majority of his bills and expenses through the fund, then I find no reason for him to get another S$15,000 per month.
True, it's different that they have decided to make it public. But for a monk to get so much and also considering he drives a Merc, I still think it's excessive. If he gets S$15k, then he must return back almost 99% of it back to the Hospital. It's the patients and the blue-collared employees and volunteers, not the head monk, who should get the benefits from the majority of the donated funds. -
isnt it right to say he is getting more (percentage) than durai considering ren ci dont receive as much donations as nkf?

even a monk earns more than me . why am i still slogging in the office?
-
Ok. From now on, I shall call him Dr Ming Yu. He certainly isnt a monk.Originally posted by dragg:you didnt know? -
call him whatever you want.Originally posted by shade343:Ok. From now on, I shall call him Dr Ming Yu. He certainly isnt a monk.
it is the fact that is important. -
Looks like Ren Ci also don't need help cos if they can afford to pay so high salary!
-
So what are the lessons learnt?
First, the money you donate ends up paying high salaries to charity staff.
Second, the gov is not doing enough to support charities and expect the general population to donate (i see it as a form of alternative tax)
I am not going to donate a single cent unless its tsunami or some surprised diaster. I am keeping what i will be donating to fund my own insurance. In Singapore, it's everyone for himself. AND MONEY talk bigtime! -

hehhehe... Catholic Priest only gets $120 to spend every month...hahaha
But then, despite of that, the Ren Ci monk is paid so much, Ren Ci must have their reason (probably he deserves that). Also, he's a monk and must have made the vow of poverty. So I don't think he would use the money to live an extravagant life. -
he drives a merc.
-
I doubt the car belongs to him. Most likely it is the property of his organisation.Originally posted by dragg:he drives a merc. -
i remember last time i used to eat at shangri-la hotel, i will get to see a monk who eat pork, give treat using credit card n i heard tat he is a regular there
-
Agree.Originally posted by iveco:I doubt the car belongs to him. Most likely it is the property of his organisation.
If he wears a rolex watch, then I have nothing to say lah. Cannot say rolex belongs to ren ci...hehhe
But then, I didn't notice he wears any watch. -
