[Mr TT Durai, Honorary Secretary of National Kidney Foundation]
["Your every call saves lives", finally, the moment of truth is out.]
Recognize that face??!! Haha. Sure you do. The key person of the NKF scandal. I've check out the channel news asia's forum and these are what the angry donors had stated:

Firstly i would say NKF are not the ones offering prizes. the prizes are actually from SPONSORS. however i do feel it would have been better if they don't give out prizes but use the money for the patients so we all don't have to donate so many times a year??? (the increasing no. of charity shows is gettin out of hand) i hope mr durai will recover from this episode and be more transparent about the usage of funds for NKF. singaporeans should also be reminded of something - dun keep donating and donating without a purpose in mind can. huang na die also donate,liu hong mei die also donate..every lil thing happen also donate money. sighs. i believe everyone will start donating again after this fiasco ends. (: its for a good cause anyway. From my own personal opinion, what she says here sound so true to me. Don't you guys think so?!

I can only say that I am glad that I have stopped donating to NKF. The amount of money they get is ridiculous and I think some of our money can be spread to other organisation as well, they need it as much as NKF. Plus who can remember the issue about the way NKF offers prizes for donations? And it is not like a vacuum cleaner or coffee maker, they are offering cars as prizes and of course they can afford it. NKF is like Community Chest, which somehow can get the donation money rolling in but we often wonder how much of our money donated trickles fast enough down to the organisations under them. Whatever the case, I still suggest that people in Singapore donates generously because it is a good thing. Best if we can donate directly to specific organisations. And it will be good if the smaller organisations gets some exposure in the media so that the public has a choice and not be duped by performance breaking a bead of sweat to hope to "touch" our hearts for some money. Sad to say, nowadays everything is down to MONEY. I can applaud him for the fact that he did make the donation drive very successful but after all these hype, I shall no longer wish to support an organisation that forgot about the public's money, the real people that needs the money, and how much a 1st class airfare could contirbute to more life saving equipments, a gold plated tap that may contribute to lessen a patient's pains .. etc. I think saying that having a gold plated tap in the CEO's toilet an "extravagant" is dumb ... perhaps a gold plated tap will reduce kidney failures or any potential diseases????? Oh ... and I don't watch NKF donation drives on TV anymore and nothing can move me in the future because of the way the organisation has abused our trust. Too bad. NKF = Never Keep Funds.

Another angry donor:

I think we shld stop donating to NKF.. and start donating to another charity organisations. even out our donation. NKF no longer bears any credibility in the people. The public are really sincerely wanted to help the needy, yet we are sorta being treated like a fool. Just imagine if 'Take & Take Durai' did not sue SPH.. we will continue being a fool for the next 30 40 years... Thanks 'Take & Take Durai' for making the decision to sue SPH. and Thanks SPH for returning the truth to the public.

It is still out in the open whether his actions are legally right. Unless there are in-depth investigations into the finances as well as the business dealings of the organisation, the whole truth may never be known. However, it is obvious that the guy operated on the very fringe of what is legally right, eg the airfares. It is more than obvious that he is MORALLY WRONG. Again, unless a full blown transparent investigation by appropriate authorities is held, we may never know the truth as to whether any illegal deeds were performed. Is such an investigation likely? Maybe but also highly unlikely since skeletons may come tumbling out for people on the board, and these are people of high standing and great influence. However, it is too passive and typical Singaporean mentality to say we should let the matter rest. On the contrary, we should let this be a lesson to us and be more aware of such issues instead of relying on the government and wrongly placing our trust in them for such matters.

On the other hand.. there are donors who still die die support NKF as well. Here are what they have to say.

I believe what Durai did was not "really" wrong. It was just the we Singaporeans thoughts are too moral. We believe that the donations we made should be made for charity use, however, money was spent on luxury of the board members. This causes us to feel aggravted over this issue. However is the fault now with them or the high moral expectations that we had all along. We just get angry over this matter and just exaggerated the whole matter when our expectations and assumption was shattered. Me myself now no more support NKF comittee board but i will still support the patients. We must not let this crisis affects the needies. I think we went too far. Just because things do not flow the way we like just go out and making a scene and rejecting the NKF.

I said he is not "really" right. i think he shouldnt do what he had done but think again what he had done is it against the law? Is it right legally for him to do what he had did? YES. What was wrong was his actions was out of our expectations and so we get so aggravated. Did we over went as a civillised country. Though actions not morally upright but remember NOTHING IS FAIR IN THIS WORLD. We work with it but not change it. We try to request for change and not demand. Furthermore done is done why keep going over this matter. Just let matter rest.

I think she sounded more like MRS TT DURAI. Who knows?!! Maybe yes, maybe no. But the possibility is still there. Anyhow, honestly speaking, since Mr TT Durai had already announced to resign, donors of NKF should just be cool. Things will get sorted out eventually. In fact, WRONG or RIGHT. No one has the right to say. Don't forget there is law in Singapore.
