don't you feel that i happen to be a parachiol person? my blog has never been about current issues, be it the things that happen in iraq, or china's and india's future successes, or the london bombings. but this... i find that this one is too big for me to ignore.
blame it on my morals, if you like, that i treat this with higher importance than other "current" issues.
i feel that the CEO of NKF did a very stupid thing, to decieve the public about the facts and figures, etc. it saddens me to think that one person spent all his day working for money, and donating that hard earned cash to a "reputable" foundation, and the CEO of that foundation sits back and relaxes, while the cash rolls in.
overlooking certain important things like that, and playing around with the figures... he has lost the people's trust, and would affect all the other charity organisations.
he was smart to withdraw. drag it for a few more days, who knows what other dirty secrets SPH would come up with. maybe a house in bali bought with the NKF's fund raisings, or a mistress being kept somewhere. the tales would get even more ridiculous.
should we stop donating when such a thing happens? no. the people still need donations. they still need to survive. cutting off the donations would be cutting off the life line for these needy people. they're human, they deserve to live.
it would be difficult to earn back the people's trust. i think we just need time.
