No offence, but i don't really get the idea behind a petition. To me, it sort of serve no purpose. There is no obligation for those receiving the petition to do anything about it.

The petition would have a effect in an intangible way, when the petition gets large enough, it is a way of sending the message to NKF that if they continue to condone the actions of their CEO and continue to have him on the board, there are x number of people who would no longer support NKF, not to mention another y number of people who wouldn't but yet no chance to sign the petition...

It's okay if you dun believe it has any effects, but there are 5000+ people I'm sure who does believe... No offense, but pls dun hamper our ways of showing our displeasure... :peace:

Why does a CEO if a charity organisation need to fly? It must have been some frequent flyer miles to be able to upgrade from business to first class...

1. Fly to meet with other charitable organization around the world?

2. To get ahead of the current dialysis equipment?

3. How to operate the non-profitable organisation as into a profitable organisation?

I don't know, you be the judge. But I hope it's the first 2. Anyway, we are pissed abt this whole issue abt being c***ed to don**** what abt those overseas and local celebraties that came to help raise funds for a better course? Local celebraties whom train so hard to get the dare right, they would definitely be more pissed than anyone of us here.

SINGAPORE: Lawyers for the National Kidney Foundation and the Singapore Press Holdings will meet at the High Court on Wednesday to discuss the issue of costs.

This comes a day after both the NKF and its CEO, TT Durai, decided to withdraw their case against SPH and its journalist Susan Long.

NKF was suing the SPH and its journalist for defamation.

This came after the Straits Times published an article on the 19th of April last year, highlighting some expensive fittings in the NKF's new

S$21m building at Kim Keat Road.

After two days of cross examination, CEO TT Durai agreed with SPH's Senior Counsel that the fittings were indeed expensive and extravagant for a public charity.

Also disclosed during the proceedings were Mr Durai's annual salary of $600,000, the several directorship positions he held in addition to his job as NKF CEO, and the business relationships he had with an NKF board member.

SPH's senior counsel Davinder Singh also told the court the NKF has enough reserves for the next 30 years.

In a statement on Tuesday night, NKF said its decision to withdraw was a considered one made in the best interests of the organisation, its supporters, donors and patients.

It reiterated its support for Mr Durai as CEO, adding it looked forward to carrying on all its life-saving activities and to continue serving the public to the best of its ability. - CNA/ir

Then you should really read the original article I posted.

It really expresses "displeasure". :)

I am quite fed up with them myself, but only to a certain extend because i never did donate to them or go to their health checks before. I am more of a Renci and Children Society person.

My only comments is...

If you want to get a private sector/market pay, you should get a normal job like everyone else.

Dont expect to get a private sector/market pay by doing charity work. IT IS CHARITY.

" For a Person who runs a milliom-dollar charitable organisation,$600,000 is peanuts as it has a few hundreds millions in reserves."

This are being said by MRS GOH CHOK TONG.

I am TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH MRS GOH..... with her statement 600k IS PEANUTS.....although it is quite true if compare to some MNC CEO pays.... but she should be careful with her words .... esp so when she should know more then anyone else about our ppl.... and how those low income ppl trying hard to get ends meet..... I wonder if she got the guts to tell those ppl struggling for a living earning less then a 1k..... face to face that 600,000 is PEANUTS..... WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT....
