White Pointer

My friend who is a CFO(Chief of Finance Officer) in a MNC. This happen many years ago. He is entitle to fly business class. So whenever he fly overseas, he will make use of the entitlement. But in actual facts he fly economic class and the balance, he use it for the families to fly. He have been doing this for a few years until the top mgt found out. He protested that he did not claim more but only took what he entitled. Case refered to CAD and found guilty and was jailed for a couple of months. Taking $25000 a month as a CEO is ok, but the perks is something astonishing. The 12 months bonus for the last 3 years (not forgetting the other years), !st class travel, personal car being service by NKF....8 cars with chaffuers (1 mercs est cost $200000, therefore $200000x8= $1.6 million. 1 dialysis machine cost $35000 therefore they can have 46 machines. Another 46 lives or more can be saved. 1997 asia crisis 2001 9/11 2002-2003 Sars The economy has been slow, many lost their jobs, pay cut, pay freeze. Not to mention bonuses. Our CPF did not restored as promise but we bite the bullet as a nation to brave through the economic crisis. I personally felt regreted for not donating much to other organisation, who really need our help. But instead only focus on NKF. Singapore Cancer Societies suppose to launch a donation drive this coming Sept. But NKF launch it in July called NKF Cancer show. Now SCS is in a fix, people will be confuse between them and the public will think what 2 cancer show in 2 months. I am in no way associated to SCS, this is what was shown on TV on 15/7/05 on TCS 8. I can't eat, I can't sleep and who are we to play GOD and to decide we deserve treatment and others not. Many other patients are seeing their MPs because they can't be accepted by NKF. Their less than $2000 for the entire family is out of this world. I heard not the entire famly, it is the entire CLAN. Someone I knew was rejected because the nephew is earning a decent pay. So look like we have to beg our relatives. Imagine my mom got kidney problem and need diaylsis. My household income $3500 and my sis also $3500. I don't think my family qualify. But both me and my sis also got our family, eg 2 kids each. So if my mom has to go private dialysis she has to pay $4000. So my sis and myself have to foot out $2000 each and that left us with $1500 for the family. A 4 member family, expenditure like schooling, food, transport etc. how to live? This only an example but alot people are facing this problem. NKF have only 2000 patient and a $260 million reserve....many are standing outside and begging to be accepted.

Yesterday morning at about 10am, I have called CAD (Commercial Affair Departmet) are they taking any action on the NKF matter. They told me that they will only intervene when a police report been make or an infringing of an Act. Any way they are watching the matter very closely.

10 years ago I came 3rd in rasing fund for NKF in my church. I got a car vacuum cleaner. I myself and my wife donated $$$$$ to NKF. 3 years ago during our get to gather on chinese new year , my friend is a contractor who told us that D***i private suite's toilet is bigger than my 5 room HDB. 1 big toilet for his personal use, must have got a big a** Since then no more donation

A CEO, Director, MD must be fit, honest and integrity according to MAS ruling. He was not forth coming in regards to his salary and bonus. Many reports are half true and continue to mislead the public giving excuse like "oversight" "inaccurate". Major offence for not disclosing that he is director to few other companies. Conflict of interest whereby he is a director to 1 company proton web solution which NKF award the call centre the contract. If he compare himself to corporate CEO, than he is subject to the following offences. I do hope that since he going to resign, the authorities will conduct a BOI and determine whether more irregular conducts to be address upon.

The waste collector have a ping pong ball inside. Once the water goes up inside the collector until the ball touch the top, it will cut off the overflow. Peace of mind when you sleep at night or nobody at home. cheers

Fresh water white spot is different from SW white spot. Only 2 methods : 1) Copper 2) Hyposalinty cheers

I cut those seaweed brought from market into small pieces and soak in the water. Remove the seaweed and drain dry, put in a small container. I soak them with garlic juice and zoecon from kent. Keep the container in the fridge and feed accordingly. You can prepare a big portion and use for about a week, so dont have to prepare everyday. cheers

My orange star fish also have the same problem...in the end died. My friend blue star also got this problem also died. So I think it is about time, but what cause this problem? Cheers

Thanks for the replied fellow reefers, since I need to wash the cup of the skimmer every week, may let it run skimless for a couple of hours. Can take this opportunity to add some additives and feeding the corals with DT oyster egg or cyclopeezes. Cheers

Hi fellow reefers, I had my skimmer for about 2 months from a local sponsor. My skimmer is on 24/7 and there are basically 2 school of thought, skimmer or skimmless. The question that I am raising is: 1) Do any reefers out there use a timer eg. 12/7 2) As for the type of skimmer, do you need tuning each time the skimmer come back on. The beckett that I am using need just that. 3) Any result? The reason that I am asking is: 1) So we can dose phytoplankton, trace element, iodine etc 2) Save a bit of the electricity 3) What ever good stuff that in the water will be fully utilised by the corals and fish Plan to put my skimmer on a timer from 11pm to 11am - 12/7 cheers

You can call me at 98555448, give away coral chip about 8kg. cheers

bro I had read alot of your tread, it was good and many valuable advised. Hope you can continue to share your idea with us.....I'm from NCC and may God bless you richly in all the things you do cheers

Today 10th day, dose ecolibrium, so far so good. All fishes look ok and the blue tang had no sign of ich. The purple tang look great. Will continue to dose on the 13th day to complete the course. This sun 10% water change and put the skimmer back and carbon in the sump. Hopefully the ich will be under control. Will give them plenty of garlic soak food. Cheers

I will prepare the water 24 hours before hand. I put air stone in the nsw and leave the pail over night. I will off the return pump and siphone the water from the sump. Pour in the nsw into the sump. Cheers

Same here, should not be a problem. I mixed my left over kent salt with tropic marine. cheers
