The Hypocrisy of Outward Goodness

I was utterly shocked by the National Kidney Foundation. It has transformed itself into a high powered organisation capable of drawing in millions of dollars each year, all in the name of helping the afflicted in Singapore.

I am definitely open and enthused by the idea of having a big corporation with a passion for saving and improving lives through marketing, mass media and savy financial stewardship, but to have a CEO that urges people to give sacrificially and yet take home such

  • The CEO has huge pay checks ($600,000 per annum) and
  • The CEO enjoys luxury (taps made of gold in the bath room and 1st class air travel)
  • NKF’s employees have 12 month bonuses
  • NKF have reserves to last for 30 years
  • For the CEO’s pleasure, 8 Automobiles are provided (Unverified)
  • The CEO once trashed an entire publicity leaflet collection costing $10,000++ just bcos he did not like the colour (Unverified)

    • is simply PURE HYPOCRISY.

    You are preaching something you don’t even follow yourself - sacrificial giving of oneself . I think this is a social evil definitely worse than the “Casino issue”. Check out the weblink for a Straits Times report:

    3. Aiyah, nevermind. The title here is the hypocrisy of outward goodness. And the title there is the struggle of inward goodness.

      The two titles are linked, without inward goodness, outward goodness is hypocrisy. But even inward goodness is difficult to attain without His grace.
