NKF vs SPH

I guess the situation is getting way out of control. People hurling abusive remarks, vandalising NKF building, canceling monthly donation. The outcry created from the libel case is intensifying quickly. Not even Huang Na's case nor the Kallang Murder could divert any other Singaporeans attention . Well, cos it's our money. Our money paid to NKF for Mr Durai's bonuses, salaries, luxurious car, office facilities and first class seat.

SPH defence lawyer Mr Davinder Singh quoted excellent examples. A two room flat owner trying to make donation to help kidney patients was being used to pay for another person salary. No doubt a portion does go to NKF beneficiaries, but a certain portion end up in someone pocket. This poor two room flat owner might not even get a chance to sit in a first class seat, but hey our Mr Durai had the opportunity. He claimed it was the board's decision. Come on, did the board force him to take a first class seat?

As a charitable organisation, how in the world are they able to declare so much bonus ? I understand only profit organisation makes that kind of payment. Yes, it is a million dollar charitable organisation so wat? Does that mean its senior mgmt is entitled to higher bonus?

Is the performance bonus is linked to the amount of money canvass for the year? But, the money is meant for the patients. I am glad i am not a regular donor to NKF. Its reserves could last them for another 40 years. Bear in mind. Whenever u donate, exercise with caution.
