Although I am out of Singapore, this does not equate to me being oblivious to what's happening(in the school or the nation). Obviously, I do not wish to talk about the school at the moment, since well, there's nothing I can do to salvage anything, but talk about something else. Perhaps those of you who read the papers would be aware of the controversy surrounding the case of Mr Durai(the executive CEO of NKF) using the money donated by the helpful citizens of Singapore to fly first-class/for his personal luxuries. I decided that as a Singapore citizen, I do have a right to comment on this.
Many people may be so outraged, they are now planning to cancel the donations to NKF in further fundraising efforts. Personally, as one who used to donate to NKF too, I wish to say that we should not judge the whole issue due to one bad apple. Of course, you would say that I am in no place to say this, after that fateful incident. But what you all didn't know is the lesson embeded in the incident, and how much I've wisened up from the event.
By cancelling your donations, where are the patients going to go for their daily dialysis? Sincerely, I hope that Singapore would be able to remain it's charitable nature, instead of punishing the patients for one person's deeds. I guess it's hard to forget the $600 000 salary per annum of Mr Durai, but as much as we wish to help the patients, he too wishes to do so. Perhaps we should look on the bright side of things(now who am I to say this once more?) instead of focusing on the wrong doing of a single person.
I know that I am having this 'holier-than-thou' attitude here once more, but yes, I do believe that by stopping the donations from flowing in due to one bad apple, it's doing nothing but killing the patients. What good does it do to the poor patients by stopping the donations? Many of you may argue that taking the small amount of money a person in a 3-room HDB flat and installing gold-plated taps/pricey German toilet bowls may be wrong, but it's sad if you kill the patients in the course of this.
Fine. This sounds so holy, I might as well submit it to some Catholic community to put in its bulletin or publish this in the Straits Times Forum. As a result, I know that no one would care about what I write, and shall stop wasting my time and effort.
