Haven't we ask enough questions? But are the questions answered truthfully?Originally posted by Xprobe:our institutions take us for granted, so why continue to give blind trust and credit to them? start asking questions singaporeans!

Luckily i nv donate a cent to NKF.
Anyway, should the government read through this threat, they r in for a big headache........just look at those assumptions that repliers had made, and they r very possible to happen. -
Make-A-Wish Foundation and Methodist Welfare Services too if I'm not wrong.Originally posted by odysseus:I'm not sure but I remember some mention of Children's Cancer Society or something like that. Also, Touch Community Services has something to do with Children under its umbrella of services.
Chen Su Lan Home for orphans. -
The kidney patients will NOT suffer any more than they already are if we stop donating for the next 10 or 20 years because:
1. NKF's reserves can last that long in a worst case scenario
2. Most people who apply for subsidies get rejected anyway, under their current criteria. You have to be near destitute to qualify for their subsidies.
Don't get taken in any more by the lies. By stopping donations we are NOT making kidney patients suffer. -

If i were him, i would be feeling "cheated" at the same time "disguised".Originally posted by Cindyfeh:About 10 more hrs to the biggest show in Singapore. Can't wait to hear what Cao Qi Tai will say!
During the show, he has always been very expressive on telling the audience that NKF need our support blah blah blah with such feeling that it really touch our heart. However, NOW knowing the truth, i really wonder will he still be able to say it with the same feeling?
Having say that, i must admit that he is a very good host in the show. it would be a dilemma i guess for him too. -
guys, i would like to ask one serious question and hope everyone can give opinion.Originally posted by bluesky296:http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?nkfs

I think he will focus on how the kidney patients' plight. That part is true and he can still say that with emotion. I think he will avoid mentioning NKF at all.Originally posted by prelude95:If i were him, i would be feeling "cheated" at the same time "disguised".

Just read the ST today.....shucks, cover a lot on the NKF tap and salary, but didn't cover the "peanut" statement.....maybe tomorrow..... maybe not.
For once, I will watch the NKF show tonight, just to see the response towards it. Confirmed higher than normal viewerships today! But donations.....? That's another story. -

they probably got instructions from PMO to censor comments on the peanuts remarks.Originally posted by CoolMyth:Just read the ST today.....shucks, cover a lot on the NKF tap and salary, but didn't cover the "peanut" statement.....maybe tomorrow..... maybe not.

I don't think I (and Singaporeans at large) can still accept tears from a crocodile putting together a performance to hoodwink the public to part their hard-earned money to fund the charity's extravagant lifestyle and generous pay packet. Why still continue to cry for more when they have $262million?Originally posted by Cindyfeh:I think he will focus on how the kidney patients' plight.

Its already happening.. Seems to me CNA is trying to help salvage the suituation for NKF.Originally posted by laurence82:btw, just saw Channel 8 news, its very minimal on the issue of NKF
hope mediacorp dont backstab SPH by only reporting good points on NKF
When i posted the following on CNA forum, kena sensored!
***
Besides this call for greater accountability, the majority of those who spoke to Channel NewsAsia said they will not stop donations to the NKF.
"Why should we penalise the kidney patients? They are the beneficiaries, it is the management. We should continue to support the patients."
"I will still donate, it is about helping people. What if someone in your family gets kidney disease or cancer?"
"The NKF still needs to raise funds here and there, and as a Singaporean, I don't mind to chip in a bit."
***
Majority?? - Trying to play down the issue?
Penalise the kidney patients? - By stop donating, patients will not be affected as they have 30~40 years of reserve left to operate!
What if someone in your family gets kidney disease or cancer? - Go to KDF if have kidney problem, go Cancer Foundation if have cancer! NKF is not the only "Charity" serving kidney and cancer patients!
The NKF still needs to raise funds here and there - Singaporeans stupid or wat? With more than $260K in reserves, NKF dun need ANY donations for the next 30 Years!! -
I think the news yesterday is the furthest SPH will go for the "Peanuts" remark. No matter how big SPH is, when its against the government, it is egg vs boulder. Sure lose.Originally posted by CoolMyth:Just read the ST today.....shucks, cover a lot on the NKF tap and salary, but didn't cover the "peanut" statement.....maybe tomorrow..... maybe not.

By the way where is the petition for Mrs. Goh to retract her statement? -
Oh man that sucker make my blood boil. It is not about he pay but what he express to the public.
1. Error in publish, and he know about it but does not correct it. No orgainsation is perfect but many know how to correct an error. But he can let it go inaccurate for years. How to believe anything they say again in the media. It could have errors and inaccurate.
2. He sue two poor guys regarding the travel first class issue and yet he can say he wont even apologize to them. One wont admit his mistake even it is place right in front of him.
3. He think that the public dont have to know this dont have to know that. The public doesnt want to know how he run his "charity orgainzation", the public want to know how is their money being used or spend. He is answerable for every cent and dollar the public donated.
Yeah a CEO make $600K is peanut. But all these make me feel he doesnt deserve the $600k CEO position. -
