President's Star Charity 2008
- Thread starter Cestbon
- Start date
a big portion of it have already be "donated" by corporation....the amount garnered thru the show is probably 1/10 of the total amount...
$5 mil...how many pratas must prata president himself sell...
Think prata man left the studio a disappointed man cos this years collection at the end of the 3 hr show (corporate donations included) was much lesser than last yr

maybe he should have stuck to his specialty skill of flipping pratas rather then calligraphy...probably the other ah nehs who wanted to donate got turn off when he decided to be a turn coat again by turning his back on his own heritage and adopt another...
Too bad he didn't exhibit his shaolin kungfu from his recent China trip 
or he could've "run" around the studio like the Olympic opening

Even if they get zip from the charity show, they already ahead because they have free 3 hr filler. This way they don't have to pay for any programming during this 3 hours.
actually to solve the problem is not very difficult lah. if the father, the son & the woody goh can all sacrifice their bonus + take 20% cut in their salary, and prataman donate 50% of his salary to all charity organization islandwide. problem will be solved liao. no need for broke & starving sporns to make donation, when we ourselves would appreciate some donation.
I really hate the show. They force old and disable people to cry and begging for donation. But the total donation how much I not sure(who can confirm the figure please give the figure).
All Minister should take the pay cut to donate for the charity problem solve.
What a lousy show and now less than $300K donation for more than 2 hour show from 7pm.
at the end of the show, public n viewers' donations wsre about 400K+....BUT...a few oversize cheques were boasted and donated in millions. looked like they were compelled to oblige cos someone even dropped the oversize cheque with the zeroes after handshaking with prataman. it must have been painful to him that his hand turned buttery.
actually, prataman could easily top it off by donating part of his million $ pay which would save him his adirmable effort to write those horrendous calligraphy. sure it would be auction at another obscene price??
the cost of currying flavour must have increased terribly!! prata gravy must really taste that good, huh? LOL!!:p
the temple thief should donate all his loot .... LOL
The issue here is not about private donations, but about the government taking care of the disadvantaged, vulnerable people in the first place. Forcing charity organisations to depend on these charity shows in the first place, and then forcing them to take on the responsibility of taking care of these people, as the first resort is extremely irresponsible.
I mean, sure charity organisations, faith-based groups, and foundations can take on these jobs- but it's usually done in sync with the government in general, where the government tries to take care of the basic needs, while these groups take care of individual cases.
The government has a responsibility to do something as well, and to give help, even when not asked. If help is given to people who need it even when they didn't ask: that's sincere and genuine.
But in Singapore, when charity organisations are forced to beg for money from private donors and from ordinary people, and where the government uses the show to politically pressurise these groups- and don't lift a finger to even help first- then its very disgusting.
The government, in short, should be helping first. They are the basis for help, with other organisations helping out later as well. But when they outsource and don't help whatsoever, they have gone down the moral abyss.

After such a long time you still don't get it. It's you die your business. Don't drag us (government) in.
