NKF....

(taken from Lianhe Zaobao, 15/7/05)

i admit i got no balls. i dont dare to blog too much regarding this incident. i am worried i would get sued. ( durai is damn efficient when it comes to protecting himself. ) i have never been a fan of any cartoon. a-ni-me. kinda stuffs. but i love political cartoons. they are just capable of giving you the insights from the simplest way. i really think that this is a great cartoon. perfect.

actually. i have heard rumours years ago that NKF uses a large part of the funds they raised to do stuffs that are unrelated to patients. and i believe them to a certain extent.

1. i am always pissed off when i see the numberous magnificent marine fish tank in one of the NKF dialysis centre. this is obviously a waste of funds. they claim the fish tank's job to beautify the surrounding and provide a comfortable environment for the patients as each dialysis session takes a few hours.

eh. many of these patients are struggling with their daily spendings. they are struggling with their life. you think they give a damn if you bulid a under-water world there.? they are just concerned about finishing there dialysis quickly and carrying on with their life. i am not suprised if these fish tanks chalk up a considerable amount of expenses over the years as marine fish tanks are really expensive to maintain. i am sure donors donated money to help needy patients. not to build nice fish tanks. i am sure they would rather the money subsidise the needy more.

2. i heard that NKF is very strict when it comes to funding 'needy' people. though they subsidise. patients still need to pay a part of the whole dialysis fees. i am not sure how it is calculated. but i think some patients still need to pay 200 bucks ++ every month.

*this is what i heard*: if a patient cant fork out the money. they will be deprived of their dialysis session. so if the patient only got 190 bucks. he or she will be deprived of dialysis till the money is there. *this is what i heard*

its amazing how humans love their toilet so much. i figured out that rich people like to make nice toilets. maybe its because we spend a considerable amount of time in the toilet.

1. U.S soldiers found gold plated 'toilet utensils' in saddam hussien's private toilet. e.g. toliet bowl. sink. TAP~.....

2. the U.S army high rank yankess are also said to build expensive toilets for their private use.

3. one of my rich friend. he got 7 rooms in his house. each room got one private toilet. and his mum was asking us to take a look at her private toilet.

"eh. come. come. come. look at my toliet. very nice one. i design myself one. this bathtub ar.... i order from italy.this sink ar.............~~~~"

4. and now we got durai. whom initally thought that a 1000 buck tap is nOt VeRy ExPeNsIve....~

i got an idea for NKF to keep donors that donate regularly through GIRO. (too much people are cancelling their GIRO donation. this is bad news for all the patients.) i suggest they study the possibility of the 'adopt a patient method.' like how some people adopt children in third world country. yea. let the GIRO funds go straight to the patients. let donors how which patient they are helping exactly. let the patient know who are helping them exactly. this method works vice versa.

wah.... i am so smart......(i just wonder if you guys know what i am talking about.)

lets all not lose faith in NKF. it would really be a pity if this organisation's structure goes down the drain overnight. there is no doubt that they have done a great job over the years in the kinda stuffs they are doing. hope the new board will do a great job in restoring confidence in the people. Good Luck man.
