Charity Organisation Saga....

Before the starting of the topic, I would like to have a small disclaimer... Enough publicity for the Charity Organisation (U will know if u have read / keep up with the news regularly), i will not said wat organisation will there be.
Abbv used in this topic:
Charity Organisation : CO

Well this few days had been quite a tough period for the people over @ CO. Quite a long story huh...It all started when the CEO of CO wanted to sue a senior reporter of a certain newspaper. Some supported him, some wanted him to step down....

Imagine he earns $25,000 a month and received 10 - 12 mths of bonus for the past 3 years. Sometimes flies on FIRST class on business trip...etc..And wat's his position as in the organisation? CEO....So how you think about it?

Is he using the organisation's fund or does he deserves it? Oh well back on the neutral side.. Well indeed the organisation had helped a lot of it's patients which is good but wat about some other patients who went to seek help from them and got rejected in the end? Just imagine wat can u do with his salary....will be back on this after a few passage..

The next day after the news were exposed, their HQ was vandalised by some angry donors? Spare the wordings on the wall. More stuffs were revealed.His Car Perks, non disclosure of outside business interestes and paid directorships. The CO was also shown to have led the public to believe that their reserves could last only for 3 years when there was enough for 30yrs and overstated the numbers of patients by 1000.

After two days of court hearing, the CEO finally withdrew the lawsuit..Some might think why dun u wanna sue them for defamation? Guilty is it...Yesterday newspaper had published a VIP said that $600,000 a year is peanuts which had caused a big HOO-HA among the readers.

Up till today, a total of 3,800 donors cancelled their GIRO donations. And there was donors asking the CEO to step down or else they will withdrawn their donations. And there was this Guy who created the online petition to ask people to sign the petition to ask the CEO to step down.

Coming back to his salary as said earlier, someone calculated how much help can we have if he donated his 3 yrs salaries. $1.8 million in total, buy 360,000 patients bloodlines for one dialysis session each, each patients 72,000 weeks worth of injections to prevent blood clots, and 36,000 Child-life therapy sessions.

How much transparency is required for Charity Organisations?
Will u still make your contributions after wat had happened?
Do you want the CEO to step down?
Tell us wat you think about the issue.....

The online petition site : http://www.petitiononline.com/nkfs/petition.html
up to now it had a total of 35436 Total Signatures and it is still increasing just like the counter over at the charity show...still jumping..

comments and assumptions and thoughts have been flying around like nobody's business..

all in all, guity or not, only the parties directly involved will noe.. only their conscience will prick them..

having so said.. personally feel tt the bonus was way too much.. the pay's still alright..

overall.. they should have been transparent from the start.

and even though entitlements are given, one should never misuse them. entitlements are like a 'pat-on-the-back' for the hard work done. alittle incentive.. stretching tt to the limit is too much..

presently, people are just feeling cheated, angry, sad, etc.. soon, everything will be back to normal.. but will the CO ever gain the public's trust agn? we'll noe soon enough as soon as the new CO n board joins the ship.. =)
