  In April 2004, Health Minsiter Khaw Boon Wan said this about the then-unfolding NFK saga:
  
  “I'm sure the Commissioner of Charities has certain rules and code of conduct and if they are not fulfilling it, then the MOF will react but in this case, I don't think so. Otherwise, they have been around for many years, MOF would have reacted many years ago.”
