Every $1 you donated to NKF, only $0.10 became real aid...

the rest was invested to make more aid, more or less, so I'm not too troubled by it

You gotch to be kidding... Are these findings more aid?? You mean aid to Durai and the gang?

NKF claimed that number of patients treated so far ever since NKF was establised: 6xxx
KPMG said only 3xxx names were in NKF's system.

Many contracts and obbligations that NKF entered into with many parties were either not fulfilled or incomplete. NKF did not do much to 'chase' these people!

$43x,xxx were spent on concert tickets. But no records of how these tickets were distributed.

$7x,xxx were spent on a trip to Las Vegas for Durai and gang!

NKF had some dealings with an organisation called SSA [sic], the controlling person behind which is Durai's wife.

Less than 50% of a dollar donated was spent (KPMG's findings) on treating patient as claimed by NKF!

NKF now considering taking legal action behind Durai & gang!

:roll:
 
i hope SM Goh's wife takes action to support the new NKF. It's such a farce that they withdrew their support because Durai had stepped down. Such a bad impression it gives.

i think over here abit wrong... She stepped down because of the Peanut speech she gave which led to lotsa other stuff... And I'm pretty sure the people wouldnt want her to a patron again...
 
There was a petition agst her and Durai during the saga.. i was in UK then, but stil very much informed...

If only, I was working in NKF.. Some staff got increment 4 times a year.. got 1 .. 8 times within 2 years.. Powers..
 
hmm. what i read was she withdrew after Durai stepped down. Maybe among other reasons, but it's kinda sad that lots of political characters tried to intervene. I felt that wasn't really appropriate.

well i didn't know much. i was stuck in reservist when it happened (as usual. i was stuck in camp when 911 happened too.)
 
umm well, this is new to you guys?
it's not just NKF, it's almost all charity organisations you donate to on the street.
once my friend and i were calling up some charity thinggie for a job, you know, one of those charity jobs where you sell raffle tickets and the like, and they offer you "attractive pay" for it.

well anyway, out of the, say, $5 you donate when you buy the ticket, 70% goes to the company that organises and hires the promoters, 20% goes to the promoter (that's you, if you took the job) and only ten percent actually goes to the charity.

makes you think, huh.
 
if i'm not mistaken, up to 30% of donations can also go to artistes who perform for the charities, so i wouldn't be too surprised if a lot of mediacorp artistes get paid pretty well during the nkf fundraisers.

this is actually why i like the Tapestry fundraisers so much. 100% goes to the charity. the organizers are all volunteers and the bands/performers don't get paid. it's great to be part of it because you know all that money is gonna go to helping people.
