NKF board steps down

When i was in China and India, i was advised not to give money to beggars or pitiful looking children along the streets. Give in kind instead or buy them something to eat, said my local compatriates. If you gave one money, the rest will flock to you and pester you for more. It seems like NKF learned this little trick too. Just before the start of the trials, i had already noticed the numerous NKF charity drive shows popping up one after the other.

In my view, the outcome was expected. There would have been no other ethical solution. If they condon gold plated taps, whats next? From T T Durai's picture in ST, he should go for an extreme makeover next coutesy of NKF, citing the importance of looking good when fund raising.

This is why i only donate in kind and take some time out from my personal time to do the actual volunteer work. So much more rewarding than donating in the hopes of winning some car.
