  If actual problems and issues facing our nation building are finally acknowledged because of NKF case and active citizens making their views heard why not save the monies paid to MPs and donate to an endowment fund to lessen our high costs of living.
  
  It would seem that whether we have an elected president or MPs, it make not an iorta of difference and our problems are not solved.

  ok how can we get the govt to save the $$ and pass on to an endowment fund? Should we start an online petition, and who dares to start it and who dares to sign?

  The last petiton asking Temasek to disclose its assets and investment performances was stopped by petitiononline because of lack of ID or real names.
  
  In NKF petition there was no such requirement. The petition to ask for refund on ministers' excessive salaries (say 50%) into people's unemployment relief endowment fund will be a very good idea. Why not someone here start the petition. If we have to give real name so be it!!!
