Since NKF headlined the papers, everyone has been talking about it. Of course, with mixed reactions. Finally, we have a scandal! My parents are furious. My dad insisted on withdrawing his donations. * slaps forehead*
Well, people has been signing petitions for Turai to quit but I wonder if the next guy could do a better job than he did. Putting aside his extravagant spendings, he did achieved a substantial amount of success with NKF. The important thing is the organisation's patients still need our help. Its so sad that they have to be dragged into this mess.
Anyways, its better to donate to a private charity that isnt under Community Chest. Charities supported by Com Chest get their funds from Singapore Pools... meaning, you, your parents, relatives when they buy lottery tickets etc. Private charitites are having a hard time getting funds. They dont have annual shows to help raising the funds.
There is just one thing i dont get it. Why is NKF branching out to Cancer? I would have thought that Singapore Cancer Society will be a better organiser. Anyways, if you wanna donate to the Cancer patients, i think SCS is better. They do run roadshows.
I am going to try and convince my dad not to withdraw his donations. Tsk.
