Re: COC try to kill a worthy charity organisation !

Don't forget, the youth have to pay for $100/= each to be member.
It is okay if his salary is paid by the membership fees because it is his effort.
it is also okay If the youth going round to ask for donation to pay for their project.
but if the money donated for the projects is used to pay for his salaries, then
I have doubt whether those who donated the money will agree to it.

Did he tell the people their money donated are for his salary
not charity ?

He gets youths off the street...organise activities
for youth, ....personally performing a charity function
very well. He deserved his small salary...(thousands
not millions as Durai paid himself)

The size of donations collection is NOT the point,
not a measure on how well he perform the functions
of a charity.
(you were wrong...Durai spent only 10% of the
donation on charity work)

40% of money collected,
if go by scale of proportion, he is even worse than Durai.

The CEO paid himself $13,000 a month. Even assuming he did not claim
any year end bonuses, that represents about 40 percent of the
$400,000
collected by the charity in one year.
On other words, for every $1.00 collected by his volunteers, 40 cents
went straight into his pocket. Even the most profitable private
companies don't pay their executives 40 percent of revenues.

The government is trying to kill a worthy charity,
..Youth Challenge.

It raided and closed(sealed) its office on the pretext
of two individuals who cannot get a refund because
their own fault.

It is a tiny organisation whose purpose is to get
our youths off the streets, away from crimes ...to
lead wayward teenage towards meaning activities.

Its CEO managed to run this charity on a shoe-
string budget as not many Singapore chose to
make donation to its cause.
Nevertheless he soldiers on, almost single handedly
for more than a decade.
Judged by the varied activities organised for the street
kids, its performance were commendable.

The government organ, ST, got into the act of trying
to kill this small charity....accusing it as a one-man
show....accusing it of paying its CEO a big fat salary.

With only 400 K donation, what do you expect...
an organisation with hundreds of paid workers...???

The government totally lost its sense of proportion,..
2 millions for a CEO is considered as peanut....but
13 K is treated as a big fat salary.

Is getting our wayward kids off the street not a
worthy charity....not worthy of 13 K a month ?
