yes, we cannot blame the artistes for the acting. as artistes being paid to do the job, i don't see anything wrong with them acting to achieve their client's aim, it's up to the audience to be 'taken in' by the acting. in fact i kind of disagree when they complain to the media about their client, just doesn't look professional at all. it's just going to make any other charity shows look really bad, more people are not going to believe in their acting.
the focus should be on the transparency of account, i have no doubt about how efficient the shows were for fundraising, just show the public what went wrong in the accounting and why.
