Public outrage!

Phew.. just finished reading todays papers and 1 whole page was dedicated to the NKF/TT Durai affair. Which was the Forum, only 1 article called for level headed thinking, the rest were more or less from angry/irate/irritated/disturbed readers.. *shakes head*

10-12 months of performance bonus.. that already is terribly uncommon in the public sector. 25K/month and add the bonus in, up to 600K per year.
Mrs Goh said it was peanuts.. sure it was peanuts if NKF was a profit-making outfit but it relies on public donations man. Anyway I think she did the right think by publicly supporting TT Durai because if she also condemn him, then NKF might really cui..

I saw the online petition's link yesterday but didn't sign it because I thought it was kind of bo liao.. I always thought that online petitions can't be taken seriously. Why?

The following is an illustration only..

99. Mr. A (TT Durai has tarnished the reputation of NKF and therefore his resignation is only rightful such that public confidence can be regained)
100. Ms. B (We will not continue to donate until TT Durai resigns and the $ is properly taken care of)
101. Mr.C (F*** you KNNBCCB you LIAR I HOPE U HAVE GONORRHOEA AND UR MOTHER FATHER AH KONG AH MA *****************************************)


Well at least that's what I always see in online petitions. But what to expect, when thousands of people are physically marching in the Philippines to demand President Arroyo's resignation, we can only switch on computer and sign petition. What? Better than nothing what..

Mr X and FKN are fictional characters as below hehe...

Now I'm just wondering, is there any law that governs non-profit organisations on transparency etc. Like at this point of time, would Mr X get into trouble with the law? From the way I see it, that we have decided to donate our money to FKN, we have a right to know where our money has gone. Since FKN's CEO hasn't been accurate about how the money has been spent, would that count as fraud or breach of trust? The public's trust that is.. well that's a question I've been pondering.
