A new topic!

I thought life will be boring for the next few weeks since no more NKF-SPH, no more Presidential election, no more NDP. So sianz that I had to blog about my Tampines neighbourhood.

But guess what. NKF so thoughtful and let me be kaypoh over something new.

Thank you ah, NKF.

From ChannelNewsAsia:

"SINGAPORE: The interim board of the National Kidney Foundation has come across certain "matters of grave concern" in the course of its work over the last one month.

It had requested the assistance of the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) to look into these matters, an NKF statement said on Thursday.

As these matters have been referred to the authorities, the NKF says it is not at liberty to discuss them at this stage.

Later Thursday, CAD officers were seen at the NKF headquarters in Kim Keat Road.

Seven CAD officers were seen leaving the premises just after 1pm.

NKF Chairman Gerard Ee told Channel NewsAsia he had briefed the staff earlier Thursday morning.

He updated them on the situation and asked them to help the CAD in their investigations, if needed.

The whole NKF saga started in mid July when it took Singapore Press Holdings and one of its writers to court for defamation.

In the course of the trial, details emerged on the pay and perks that its Chief Executive Officer TT Durai was getting.

Public pressure led to the resignation of Mr Durai and the board as the Health Ministry stepped in to appoint an interim board and CEO.

The matter was heavily debated both in Parliament and among the public.

Main issues discussed were the loss of the public's confidence in giving to charity, and whether NKF's 1,800 kidney dialysis patients would be affected adversely."
