Honestly, does Shi Ming Yi need so much money in the first place?
-
Near the end of the show, think the number was ard 125k. Then after Venerable Shi Ming Yi came out and appealed, the number went to 400k+. I think some of the overseas stars gave additional performance to help too.
According to the website, the annual fee to sustain the hospital is 6M -
Hey its not for him lar. Its for his hospital operating and other expenditure.Originally posted by iveco:Honestly, does Shi Ming Yi need so much money in the first place?
I think for every dollar collected, 70 cents went directly to patients of Ren Ci Hospital, unlike the old NKF, just 10 cents for every dollar collected. Having a live performance on tv is not cheap either mind you. Venerable Shi Ming Yi does not benefit it personally. Check on the Ren Ci hospital for expenditures if you are in doubt. -
To tell the truth, I have lost faith in charity shows ever since the NKF saga broke.Originally posted by marcteng:Hey its not for him lar. Its for his hospital operating and other expenditure.

I empathise with you. There sure will be a few rotten apples among a basket or cart of apples one.Originally posted by iveco:To tell the truth, I have lost faith in charity shows ever since the NKF saga broke.
I find some charity org vv aggressive in raising funds, like selling cards or toys or flowers de. i also heard that those selling these are paid commissions. dunno real or not. -
Ren Ci Charity Show raises S$6.8m, exceeds target
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/187236/1/.htmlIn all, $6.8 million was raised, which exceeded the target of $5 million. Last year's show raised $6.6 million.
btw i tot i heard it's 30 cents for Ren Ci instead of 70 cents. 70 cents is their usage.

The hospital says it has never breached the 30 per cent cap on expenses for fund raising, but Venerable Shi hopes there will be some flexibility in imposing that during difficult economic times.

Smaller charities are worried that once controls become tighter, some will be deterred from embarking on big fund raisers that are more risky but can raise more funds.
Dr Koo Wen Hsin, vice-chairman of Singapore Cancer Society, said: "It'll be a lot easier for us if this mandatory 30/70 ratio is applied across the year to all the cumulative fund raising activities instead of an individual programme. For example, if we can't raise 70 per cent in one event, we can spread it out and other events can help cover the loss."

Ive seen him personally and saw him greeted the worshippers.... very modest and not boastful...do not drives car... unlike some monks/nuns whom i've seen drives ex cars, proud and some even arrogant!

There are fake monks and nuns out there, trying to con follower's money and gifts. These fake monks and nuns have committed very very bad kamma.Originally posted by yjtang71:Ive seen him personally and saw him greeted the worshippers.... very modest and not boastful...do not drives car... unlike some monks/nuns whom i've seen drives ex cars, proud and some even arrogant!
Venerable Shi Ming Yi is an honest, hardworking and compassionate monk.
He did a lot of work for Buddhism in Singapore. It was his compassion that he started Ren Ci Hospital for the poor and underpriviledged in Singapore, just like patch adams. -
