NKF Show

Caught glimpses of the NKF charity show earlier and something irked me... you know how the artistes will get the public to call actively after their act/stunt ... heres what happened... Pan Lingling and her husband, Huang Shinan had to leap through hoops of fire... and tthen blah blah blah... after their stunts... both were perspiring buckets due to the immense heat coming from the hoops...and the host went on to say in chinese "Are you guys ok? we can see from the replay that you guys were slightly burnt from the fire!!" They went on to reply "Yes we were slightly hurt but this pain is nothing comapred to the pain the kidney patients are suffering from... please call 1900 ..blah blah blah... " Why do artistes have to use the same line year in year out? Its getting a lil too cliche... and in my perspective, irritating.

Anyway, I dont know how many percent of the donations go to helping the kidney patients... i have my doubts.. remmeber in the papers, it was told that the top three income earners in NKF refused to reveal their income... look at the building itself...how beautiful it is, compared to the other humble organisations like singapore cancer society etc... well this is my own perspective... do not get me wrong... i totally believe that support and help is indeed needed and important but this whole charity show thing might just be another money-spinning vehicle. Surely people can help in other ways besides only "sincerely" donating once a year when artistes have to be moved to tears (crocodile tears? since they're all actors...) and encouraging the public to make donation calls... And why are they able to give away condominiums n cars and so many prizes when all the money paid to get these gifts can be nicely generated towards helping the kidney patients?

for all those who have called and donated, good on you! If you were to ask me, no..i did not call and donate..not even once on the NKF show. gee i sound like a complaint king...what irked me was simply what artistes say during these shows...
