Hiyah, what else is new?
Alright, so the president got a pay rise. You want someone to investigate that? -
I don't give a fark anymore with all charity orgs..
If I ever donate, it will be direct. -
Yeah man,
2.7million a year for an 80yr old, do nothing, PAP propagandist, WWII betrayer president. That really needs more investigation.
So what has he done so far rather than attending president's star charity show? heck! even Ong Teng Chiong performed a piano play on live TV, PrataNathan only sits there half sleepy and pretends as though he understands chinese on the show.
worst still, we did not even vote for that president. More good years to come -
Next one that will come under scrutiny will be red cross, yes red cross.

Must be very profitable to run charitable organisations esp the established ones
All these bad news, people will stop contributing $$ -
I cancelled my giro donations to club rainbow.
-
how many charities are there?
just take a look at the number of groups asking for donations. its scary!!! -
I think people should continue donating to charities rather than give it to organisations that preach "you must give 10% of your income to us".
-
Let's not donate anymore $$$.
Especially, those are run by elite from.... don't know.... which very powerful organisation.
Instead, give it directly to the poor guys. -
at the very least this guy contributed 20 good years to charity.....someone just got a hefty pay rise just for cutting ribbons....
-
oohhh... very expensive ribbon cutter... -
Actually if you look at the concept of ministerial responsibility, although it is a non-codified political custom and practice, a minister who is responsible for losses or having caused harm to the people directly or by the deeds of his subordinates must resign.
So in speaking out in support of TT DURAI, even in their "personal capacities", to which if you are a political or public figure this status is non-existent. Those who have supported TT DURAI must resign.
Simply because without investigating they are putting their credibility on the line and if they vouch for such a person that means they support the person and believe that he is right.
Hence with their support, they are trying to tell the people that there is no wrong being done and to this end they are asking us to trust these people because the are lending their weight to this person's reputation as well.
But the truth is now known, but you hardly hear a peep out of these people. Now they are clamouring over each other to distance themselves from DURAI.
You will see this happen throughout Asian democracies, especially in S. Korea and Japan also seen in the UK several times as well, where a man's word means everything, there can be no U-turns, "...on hindsight...";, etc in the political arena.
The PAPAYAS have gotten away with all these for far too long, time for a change, time to take back our rights. -
Did we vote for Lee Hsien Loong? How come his time so many charities got misappropriate accounts?
-

How come no checks & balances?
All the big charities should publish the remuneration of the topdog, let the public know how much they are paid. -
There's another group of people who are paid way above the population average, whose work concerns many Singaporeans and whose pay is funded by taxpayers: Our ministers. They don't reveal their pay. Why should charity chiefs reveal theirs? Put it another way, if charity chiefs are forced to reveal their pay by government, wouldn't the government pave the way for more pressure on ministerial pay. Maybe in time somebody will suggest a formula to peg the pay of charity chiefs to private sector.

The charities are just sacrificial lambs. Another organization operates the same way, but unfortunately, Singaporeans are too wimpish to go after it.Originally posted by dracky:There's another group of people who are paid way above the population average, whose work concerns many Singaporeans and whose pay is funded by taxpayers: Our ministers.
