  They only get "discounted" rate when seeking treatment.
  
  the main amount of $$$ go to the rich to make them richer!!!
  
  that why now one peanut is so expensive to us
  yet so cheap to the rich.

  okay ppl who think too much prior to spending money we can them stingy...ppl who dun think just got money spend we call? spendthrift?
  
  i think #13 reason's been announced......i can't donate because i am spendthrift...i ain't got no money to donate after i spend them all!
  
  spendthrift guy: "well i am not spendthrift because u r just being stingy"
  stingy guy: "well i am not stingy because u r just too spendthrift"

  1. it`s my money..
  
  donating to other ppl`s salary?
  think twice dudes
  i`ve frens working for charity organisations last time. i won name which one
  but when they ask ppl to donate they`ll say` 100% of ur donation goes to charity` little do they know that 40% goes to admin fee , 20 % goes to tax , 20% goes to labour aka commission, then patient gets only 20% of the fuking money u donate..
  and 100% goes to charity is technically not wrong
  so u go ahead and donate n make those fukers rich w peanuts!
  not my prob anyway

  that said, if charity is so unreliable and if u really wanna help those in need, why dun u go all out and do so urself directly, instead of waiting for charity to come by every now and then?
  
  one way is to give to the cancer foundation..
  
  no one is obliged to give. patients dun need ur money if ur money doesn't carry ur love and concern.
  
  charities are just the middle-man to ensure things are going well.
  
  it starts with u and ur decision.

  IMHO
  
  Its never about collecting enough money, its more about how to manage the money you collected
  
  People still dont learn from the NKF saga, where the management freely spend the money on useless things
  
  And there are some who argued, for example, Mrs Peanuts, that management deserve high pay
  
  Anyone can see the irony of it?
  
  We give so much to charity hoping they will end up benefiting the needy, yet much of it ended up in the CEOs' pay coz they are successful in raising that huge amount.
  
  Tsk!

  u r not the only one donating lor. if u add the rest who donated, the money given to the patients will increase.
  
  of cos, the staffs there have to be paid for their time and effort working in that organization. if they're not paid, they who will pay them?

  let me make an illustration for u
  if i`m made to donate 100 and later found out that only 20 will reach the needy and the rest of my 80 will go into the peanuts pay of other ppl, i`ll rather donate the money to my own pocket, at least i know that 100% of the money goes to the needy, and tt will be none other than myself.
  
  of cuz..
  the more ppl tt donate the more the needy will get, the same logic applies to the peanuts, cuz it`ll allow more peanuts to grow too
  
  and ya, CHARITY is such an abused word, however i believe that kindness should begin w the heart, if MPs and ministers can task being ministers and holding their own job at the same time, i don see why kind ppl can do charity and hold their job at the same time?? however i might wanna speculate tt u`re gaining from the peanuts??
  
  i`ll allow the readers to guide the reasons, my target is to win the hearts of the readers, u on the otherhand can donate to the peanuts fund for all i care.

  I only donate money to those who persuade me around mrt and shopping center for helping children home and old folk home (you know those that come with a receipt with a $10 $20 or $50 sign on it?). But i will never donate a single cent to those charity foundation who make use of celebrities for asking us to donate. I really wonder if they use the money for helping the patient or "HELP" themself instead!

  i rmb once when i was bringing my scouts for a hike, we were stopped by a muslim guy, aged ard 30, nearby a mosque in dunno batok or gombak. maybe he saw that we're in scouts uniform, he came to us and ask for $10, claiming that he need the money to take cab to whichever hospital to visit his mother. he claimed that his mother is hospitalised for whatever reason and he wanted to visit her immediately. and he again claimed that he cannot visit his mum after 6pm (the time then was ard 1730) for whatever reasons. feeling suspicious and not wanting to part with the $10, we qn all the illogical claims he made and give him the we-dun-want-to-give-u-money looks. cant ans our qns and seeing our determination not to give him the money, he throw vulgarities and head for the mosque. and we like wtf la. if he really need some money, shldnt he be heading towards the mosque den asking boy scouts for money? of course, it's 99% sure that he's a lousy con man
