how could he be sincere when he did not experience serious punishment? for show only.Originally posted by :Yup, although I hated Durai for his deceitful role in the NKF saga, at least he seems genuinely sincere in wanting to make restitution unlike Chee who seems a good-for-nothing........![]()

wonder whether his 3 months sentence is equally intertwined. really boi song with durai. think he got no punishment at all.Originally posted by Ponders:who went to court with him and commented his pay is peanuts?
now you should understand how he is intertwined.
This case is a case where people's power prevails. If not for the fact that the public was totally outraged such wrong doings as were committed by Durai in NKF today would still be entrenched with ministers Lim Hng Khiang or Khaw Boon Wan or some other ministers giving some excuses to cover up all the wrongs.Originally posted by Ponders:who went to court with him and commented his pay is peanuts?

durai was chased out of nky because he tried to whack sph.Originally posted by frakfrakfrak:Well, at least the public outrage towards Durai and his ilk has been shown to bear some fruit. That's a very big achievement I think considering the Singapore context. Durai himself would never have been chased away from the NKF trough without some elite's help so this does indicate that there are *some* people in the upper echelons of society who have reached some sort of breaking point wrt the parasitism that has plagued Singapore society for some time.
The golden handshake thing is regrettable but probably can't be helped. Durai after all did enrich himself greatly with ill gotten gains and has probably a wide connection of rich friends. I'm sure that if anything were to happen to him we'll read about it in the papers or something. After all, the belief in some kind of karmic retributive force is also good for national development, is it not?
Considering what you've said, I hardly think the idea that you reap what you sow is a superstition. Also, superstitions are just like any other mental constructs and you never know whether it contains a kernel of truthOriginally posted by Daddy!!:karmic retribution does happen because i witnessed it myself. still, it is a superstition. superstitions only bring backward and not forward a national development.
remember the White Lotus Sect during the Qing dynasty? that's what superstition can do to people's minds. Karma might be true and it might be superstition, so 50/50. national development cannot by based on 50/50. science is 100/0.Originally posted by frakfrakfrak:Considering what you've said, I hardly think the idea that you reap what you sow is a superstition.

I beg to differ a bit.Originally posted by Daddy!!:remember the White Lotus Sect during the Qing dynasty? that's what superstition can do to people's minds. Karma might be true and it might be superstition, so 50/50. national development cannot by based on 50/50. science is 100/0.
whether it is good or bad karma, it is 50/50 because there is no scientific proof of its existence.Originally posted by reddressman:I beg to differ a bit.
I do believe in good Karma. That is when good deeds brings good future.
I do not believe in bad Karma. There is a dictator Kim who never suffer from bad Karma directly and Karma never visit them for many decades in a row.
Albert Einstein's theories are mental constructs but scientist can work towards mathematical and experimental proofs of his theories. A recent breakthrough in science within the last decade is the proof of his gravitational wave theory.Originally posted by frakfrakfrak:Oh.
Karma, divine retribution, game theory, call it what you will.
Science too is a mental construct, just because we use more refined instruments to assess causality does not mean science is somehow beyond reproach. You must acknowledge this if you want to be intellectually honest. The traditions (or religions) on the other hand were formulation over longer time spans and because of this their observations are useful, when taken in a balanced manner of course.
Just because you do not see your enemies suffer for their transgressions does not mean they do not, perhaps they are merely better at hiding their weaknesses. Lack of information does not mean nothing happens.
Too much obsession with programmed thoughts is not good
if NKF was not under him.. u may have dialysis centre all over the island at an even cheaper rate..Originally posted by mancha:Best wishes to him.
Hope he does some good work there.
My mother was a dialysis patient under NKF.
I also have one friend and one colleague on dialysis.
With NKF centres all over the island, it is a far cry from the old days, when doctors play god and decide who should be on the dialysis programme. People with family, and with a good vocation, like teachers, nurses, have a good chance of being on dialysis. Singles were left to die.
Now it is available to all who have renal failure.
It's like Durai telling the whole of Singapore,Originally posted by I-like-flings(m):if NKF was not under him.. u may have dialysis centre all over the island at an even cheaper rate..
singaporean... please wake up lah.... 66.6%?? PUI!!!!!!!!![]()

who choose durai to be the CEO of NKF?? and who choose the one that chose durai??Originally posted by kramnave:Durai ran for elections ?
If you can find out who choose Durai to run NKF and who chose the one who chosen Durai. I think it will bring bad light to thier reputation.Originally posted by I-like-flings(m):who choose durai to be the CEO of NKF?? and who choose the one that chose durai??
