Latest: Mrs Goh CT steps down from NKF

Yes i am surprised it happened within 48 hrs. I thought it will take longer.Originally posted by Himbo:This will not happen lor. Technically, they did not do anything wrong at all. What you want Mrs Goh to say?
"I'm sorry I said $60K is peanuts"?
Them resigning is them taking the fall already. In the "grown up" world, this is saying "sorry, you all right, i wrong, ok? I go."
For this to happen within 48 hours is already very remarkable already. Mrs Goh CT somemore.
I guess you are saying 1.4 billion Koreans and Chinese are technically wrong by asking Japan to issue an official apology? Japan had surrendered in 1945 and does that mean they apologise?
If someone shoplifted and when kena caught, gave back the item, and no punishment? -

Does that mean the CEO of CAO can say "I resign" and walk away free?Originally posted by DriftingGuy:Ya... Mrs Goh CT lor... expecting her to apologise is equivilent to having T.T Durai turn around, issue a public apology, donate all his wealth to charity and turnin into a pilgrim... Her resignation as patron is her way of saying "sorry"
I say that man is a REAL man, got guts to face up to what happened in Singapore. China is a big place. He has no need to return to Singapore for the trail. He could have easily run and hide. -
I have posted this artical, which is extracted from one of my emails, 4 of these points were being censor by CNA Forum. I have also started a new "thread" here with this post, but is being "Closed Down" for business . . .Originally posted by valentinoo:moral of the story...
WE MUST VOICE OUT OUR UNHAPPINESS AND DO MORE PETITIONS
Now that the case has ended, time for a summary:
Susan Long
Credit to Susan Long for investigative journalism couched as a commentary. Her source was outstanding.
Durai
Appears to be living in a world of his own. His only argument was that it was not a gold tap and that it was $990 and not $1,000. Had no clue about morality, integrity and fair play. Using the suffering of the unfortunate to feather his nest and that of his family. Had no clue that giving his wife a car whose expenses were paid by donors is inherently wrong and evil.
NKF Board
Failed as a governing body in fulfilling its mission. Mislead the public by making false and misleading statements on more than one occasion.
Patron (Mrs GCT)
Obviously had no clue what the organisation was doing at all.
Davinder Singh - Lead Defence Council
Outstanding litigator who was given a god sent opportunity to display a masterful stoke of offensive litigation while in the defendent's camp. Took the plaintiff down the garden path and made him clean up the leaves, trim the roses and bag the refuse voluntarily.
Tan Lee Meng - Judge
Screwed the !^@# out of NKF for throwing in a fresh claim for damages at the start of the trial and awarding cost. After that was on autopilot as Plaintiff proceeded to hang himself in slow motion. No judgement required.
SPH
As usual had absolute monopoly of the media and used it to maximum benefit. Smart enough to pick Susan Long who has yet to write a single friendly piece on the Lee regime despite her long tenure and highly credentialled background.
Mr Tan - the sub-contactor and source
May you live a long and healthy life. Instead of taking the money for the job, your scream at Kim Keat that fateful day in 1994 took 11 long years but it did more than bunch of imbeciles in Parliament to correct a wrong.
Singaporeans and Forummers
It was heartwarming to know that the vast majority knew the difference between right and wrong. More importantly it was about transparency, accountability and looking after the patients. It was indeed outsanding in support and the views expressed.
NKF
Despite huge reserves that could take them for 30 years without raising a single cent based on current operating financials, you continued to mislead the public. You had only 2,000 patients but gave the impression that there were thousands more.
It was also sad to learn that 78% of the patients cost was paid by the patient himself with only 22 actually coming from NKF. It must be the biggest single ripoff that I ever seen. You guys are worst than lowlife.
The Government
Had failed miserably in allowing mismanagement of this magnitude for so long. -
nothing is mentioned abt transparencyOriginally posted by Dr Who:SINGAPORE : The NKF Board and its CEO, Mr TT Durai, have offered to resign in order to give Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan a free hand on restoring public confidence.
In a statement, the Health Ministry says they have requested the minister's assistance to re-constitute a new Board and appoint a new CEO.
In the interest of the dialysis patients and the NKF, Mr Khaw has agreed to help in this effort.
The Ministry statement says over the next few days, the government will appoint an interim Board to ensure the continuous operation of NKF's various dialysis centres.
It will also work on medium-term tasks, including forming a new Board, appointing a new CEO, reviewing accounting practices, funding needs, and pricing and subsidy policies.
Pending completion of these reviews, the statement says the NKF will suspend all active fund-raising activities.
The Chairman and members of the Board, together with its CEO, had approached Mr Khaw for advice on how to respond to the public reaction to the court case between the NKF and the Singapore Press Holdings.
Mr Khaw stressed two immediate priorities: caring for NKF dialysis patients should not be disrupted in any way and the shattered public confidence must be restored.
For the time being, the current NKF management will continue to run the organisation until the new Board is formed.
Speaking at a news conference, Mr Khaw stressed that he was not in favour of destroying an organisation in order to rebuild it unless it was a rotten one.
He said the NKF was not rotten to the core and a lot of good work had been done.
As such, his immediate priority was to build on the organisation's strong points.
Earlier, Mr Khaw said both Mr Durai and the Board would continue to hold the fort until a new Chairman has been found.
He said he would be working hard to find a new Chairman, hopefully, even by Friday. - CNA/de

hmmm... SPOILT??Originally posted by SGpork:how come today 1..
dont have the tele number counter thingy -
Well this is what happens when you've been living a lie... if they really didn't do anything wrong, why is public confidence shattered. I think they knew right from the start what they were doing and what the public would think, but didn't bother to come clean or do anything about it. Certainly they would know that after doing so much to convince people to part with their money, getting people to do dangerous stuff and exposing them to public ridicule, in the end it turns out they were trying to manipulate public opinion? This is the measurable cost of their actions, we can only hope things will be better.

Anyway, since I most prob cannot get her or hear her apology, it is better to get away from this sad place.
Ironic... my grandparents migrated here so that they can earn peanuts and now, I am migrating away because of some peanuts comment. -
Now, come to think of it. The reason for her stepping down is not really convincing.....
To cover up the "peanuts"? -
cover face nia la.if not people will never donate to nkf again.but even if she did stepped down,i'm not sure whether they would..

It doesn't matter that all of the board member step down? They all must have aready leach most of the donation money. They are all just puppets, after the replacement, it just only a change of a new set of puppets. The plot still goes on. They should let the people know how much money the count is letting mr NKF and his board members keep. Why is even the Gov people helping them anyway... Think about it....who is the puppet master?

But her negligence resulted in the sad state of affairs at hte NKF today. As its Patron, she could have done something within her power to make sure the directors behaved, but failed. It was her moral duty to make sure the organisation stayed true to its mission.
