10%? So be it...
The NKF saga has caused quite a stir recently. Grouses, complaints, waves after waves they rushes in. Amusingly, ppl who does not donate to NKF begin boasting of how smart they are by not being a donor. Smart? I think its plain lack of compassion, stinginess. Voices are always louder in retropect. And then, there are the hordes of donor who pulled out after learning just 10% of their donation goes to the patients. Everyone is only focusing on the 90% that goes into someone paycheck. True enough, 10% may be small, but it still goes into saving lives, helping pple. Look at it this way, take a senario where your loved one is in a critical situation. To save his or her life, it requires $10k. At the same time, it is made known that $9k will just be burned and only $1k effectively will be used. Will you not fork out the $10k? I will definitely. So what if 90% is flushed down the toilet. It doesn't matter. What matters is a life is saved. I rather focus on the 10% that is saving lives than the 90% that is wasted. If more is being utilised, of course its better, but what important is the intention of the donor, and something is done to the patient, no matter how minute it is....
