ndroo said:OT a bit, but after 'donating' $10 to some auntie who was selling some 'coupons' for some stoke patient charity stuff, I was told that $7 goes to the auntie???!!! Is that true? If it's true, maybe the next time I see her, I'll give her a tight slap and give her another $7!
So, the NKF saga is still fresh on our mind. We will definitely get less, much less donations. As a result, all these charitable organisation would suffer, or will they? Or, the have got enough reserves to last them 5 years or so to tide them over until we all feel comfortable to start donating again.
Or, the authorities come out with certain guidelines and certain transparency so that the chances of abuses would be kept to a minimum. Then, the public would be assured that the funds would be put to good use. Then, would there be too much control, too much red-tape and the entire mechanism becomes stiffling. So, which way should we go then?
