Beggars and the NKF case

You walk on the streets of Malaysia. Turning a corner, you see a figure huddled in a filthy corner of the wall, sitting on a sheet of newspaper and with a small container in front of him. As you catch his eye, he gives you a forlorn expression that indirectly says, "Please donate to me, or I won't have money and i'll starve."

You feel something tugging at your heartstrings. Something tells you that you should lend him a helping hand, but in the end you mercilessly turn away and continue walking.

You might say, "They have hands and legs, why don't they find a job and earn their own money instead of being such eyesores?"

Yes, they are not physically disabled. But think. If you were an employer, would YOU even to employ them? Someone so rugged and dirty? If you say yes, you're lying to yourself.

The truth is, no one in his or her right mind would want to employ these people. So, it's not as if they are not hardworking or whatsoever. Nobody WANTS them!

About TT Durai.

You liken yourself to the CEOs of the other companies in Singapore. Yes, you all are classified under one name, but there ARE differences my dear.

Firstly, you're the CEO of the NKF for goodness sake, NOT any other company. Part Most of the public's donations go to YOUR salary. The public donate to the NKF, thinking that all of the money donated would go on to help the people who really need it. But in fact, it goes to a man who lives extravagantly and buys gold taps and designer toilet bowls. The fact is, the public would be happier if you had lived humbly and had not spent the people's money on such unnecessary luxuries. Shouldn't the money be channelled to a better and more useful cause than to such stuff?

Secondly, being the CEO of NKF, there are ought to be some disadvantages like not getting as much salary as the other CEOs. Why not treat the difference in salary (compared to the other CEOs) as your own personal contributon to the NKF?

Don't you feel guilty about the people who are suffering- dying of kidney failure and in pain through the daily torture of dialysis?

Anyway. What is done cannot be undone. Let's just hope for the best.
