Singaporeans are a loving bunch but there will always be people who will do anything for money. Recently in Singapore news, one very famous charity organization, Ren Ci Charity organization CEO, a monk, was charged in court for falsifying a personal loan to a business loan.
Of course in business world, this is a daily affair. But we are talking about public donation, money that are given on the thought that the $ will be used for improving the poor or needy. This is not the first case but this case with Ren Ci is more special as the guilty is a monk, one who's belief system has say that '$ is but a distant' . When it comes to the walk the talk, as long as one is human, to err is common.
In any case, I have lost hope in giving to charity since the first case with NKF. So guess my faith was correct in not giving any $ to any charity beyond community chest. Even that, I have thoughts of canceling it. After all, the government needs to ensure proper checks are in place to ensure that public $ is spend correctly and not in any of the above cases.
