&lt;p&gt;Sorry NKF, Community Chest and all other charity organisations
as I will withhold all my donations from now onwards. Please refer
your requests to the &lt;strong&gt;Government&lt;/strong&gt; as I supposed that
the &lt;strong&gt;7% GST&lt;/strong&gt;is cater for social benefits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you agree?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
But why must apologise?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there even a need for that?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your moola is your own...and nobody's else.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;GG. Dulai gets 3 months for the huge fiasco and betrayal of
public trust and corruption.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hypothetically, next time, say another guy does the same&amp;nbsp;
exactly in terms of crime,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;would his punishment also be 3 months?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After 3 months, come out still a dragon?&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;if the charity organization's CEO is earning more than my
salary, i do not wish to donate to their org...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;reason is very simple, where do the CEOs get the salaries?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;are they really championing the charitable cause?&lt;/p&gt;

Reputation is precious. She squandered hers on Durai. What's worse
is she squandered her husband's in the process.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ex-NKF board member Matilda Chua fined $10,000, but no
jail&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
By Julia Ng, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 30 November 2007 1949
hrs&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SINGAPORE: Former NKF board member Matilda Chua has been fined
$10,000 for falsifying company accounts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is in relation to her association with GNR, a call centre
company she and ex-NKF chief T T Durai set up in 2000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tears of relief flowed when sentence was meted out and Chua was
spared the jail term on Friday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A visibly relieved Chua later walked out of the Subordinate Courts
with her family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For falsifying the accounts, Chua could have been jailed for up to
seven years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mitigation, her lawyer had said Chua's case was a unique
one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her lawyer argued that unlike other cheating cases where the
culprits repeatedly falsify accounts and squander the gains, Chua
only made the mistake once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Besides, Chua did not make any tangible gain from the
transaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the judge said Chua did falsify the accounts, although
this did not cause any market disruption or harm the interests of
the public. Hence, a lighter sentence was meted out. - CNA/ir&lt;br /&gt;

Her sentence for falsifying the accounts will be meted out on

The 38-year-old has been cleared by District Judge Francis Tseng of
any role in a share-rigging scam. - CNA /ls&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;I don't trust charity organization anymore. Nobody is NKF
is punished severely for any wrong doing.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;i like to donate money to the direct person, no intermediary nor
any organisation to handle. this is because huge money will turn
monk into devil, saint into devil. so what&#8217;s the point?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;We should learn from Government having this thinking of
&lt;span class=""&gt;WEI YU CHO MO&lt;/span&gt;. Many ppl dun even have much
saving for old age liao. Better save up for more &lt;span class=
""&gt;GST&lt;/span&gt; hike rather on donation.Inflation cycle is getting
shorter and life span is getting longer, medical care fee is
increasing. So if u dun save up who will help u if yr living
standard is average and above?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;div class="quote_body"&gt;Yes, there is a possibility of rise, but it
won't be so soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, if you are to look at the whole picture, Singapore have NO
natural resources, hence where do the government get their income?
It's via taxes and investment. Don't you get it? Or you want to pay
17% instead, like Sweden?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who says SG have no natural resources???? The person who said
NO.... must be an idiot!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our Natural deep sea port and SG is situated in the best location
where all Vessels will have passby...whether the vessels are going
to East or West.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This port had generated tonnes of money!!!!! Without the GOD gift
of the port....Sg would not be what it is today....even with 10
LKY!!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stupid!!!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Yes, I agree with the original thread. Somehow because of NKF, I
have lost all faith in "charity" organisation. It use to be that
the tin cans only come out once every other Sat. Now it is everyday
and a few charity groups at the same time, and I have not even
heard of half of the charities the poor kids are collecting for!
They really had us fooled with their big budget shows, sob story
letters (with our name on Dear so and so even). They made us feel
they are sincere. Well obviously he was not paid peanuts for it

But what amazes me is that the directors of NKF had so much time to
liquidate their assets and actually RUN away. I mean was Richard
Yong in disguise and using a fake passport! Shouldn't their
properties be seized and held by the court since they were guilty
of corruption and should be prosecuted.&lt;br /&gt;
The police should know they are a flight risk but the NKF pple can
move and operate freely!&lt;br /&gt;
I feel that this matter was handled very poorly. The government
should appease the people i.e. voters by acting swiftly and firmly
thus we will feel that they have acted in an unbiased way against
such perpetrators who have abused our trust and money for more than
20 years!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

banned?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;div class="quote_body"&gt;so what if he is back, our donation all
gone, ihave stopped donation to all, cant trust any body&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Depends on how he wants to negotiate security for earlier
freedom.&lt;br /&gt;
Pay up what he owes to NKF or he can have security in the cage for
a longer time.&lt;br /&gt;
I would prefer to see him pay up as much as he wish he would not be
locked away for too long.&lt;br /&gt;
It is reported that he has two daughters, no prick to continue his
pedigree lineage. Now that&#8217;s punishment enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
from many years back, i stopped donating....coz i always found that
there seems to be a flag-day almost every saturday until i
sian...if have $$ might as well go to the movies or eat a sumptuous
meal!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I really dun think the increase in GST will really be able to help
the poor...What about those who are in the lower-middle income
groups then?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But from the day the GST was first introduced in 1994...the govt
was already moving from direct to indirect taxation...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most Singaporeans will become poorer for it...What more at this
time the govt says civil servants can get 2.2 months
bonuses...&lt;strong&gt;the only persons who will benefit will be the
rich, elite and civil servants then...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;not all civil servants are rich. keep that in mind.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
