The end justifies the means!???? (Part III)

NKF again? This time I am blogging this calmly. So far after the court hearings quite a series of events have happened.

• Many people are pissed and disgusted with the NKF CEO and the Board of Directors
• Vandals (actually not the right word to use) defaced a signboard outside the NKF building at Kim Keat Road
  
• About 4000 or more donors have cancelled their contributions to the organisation
• Over 25,000 people have signed an online peitition calling for the NKF CEO to step down, and the number is increasing fast every second
  

BUT NKF staff have rallied behind their boss and they are asking donors to take a more measured response to the revelations over the past few days. Ms Michelle Ang, Deputy Communications Director of NKF is reported to have said "He addressed staff to explain the decision on withdrawing the case, and they gave him a standing ovation. "As we all know how hard he has worked, his whole life has been about the NKF, the patients especially, as he knows them by name, he sees everyone of them so we all know what TT Durai stands for and he is a great boss."

Actually I am not too surprised that the staff gave their CEO a standing ovation. Perhaps the CEO has really been a great boss to them, even though so many bad things have been revealed over the past few days. As a boss of that organisation, he could have done a fantastic job in managing the company and bringing in benefits to the patients under its care. But what the staff failed to see is the accountability and moral obligations of NKF to the people who have donated and funded most of NKF operations. Hey, since the CEO paid himself 12 months bonus, is it possible that their staff also received many months too? During the past few years, while Singaporeans were heeding the government's call to have pay cuts and freezes, with many unemployed, the NKF CEO was rewarding himself and possibly his staff many months of bonuses, with the money donated by the public???!!! Let me give a standing ovation to that too :(

So the crux seems to be: As long as you are dedicated in your job or can do your job well, then everything else does not matter. If you are dedicated to "saving lives" it is fine to get away with murder, corruption and unethical practices etc. So the NKF CEO deserves what he gets because he has helped sustain many lives? Ponder Ponder.

NO WAY!!!
