NKF Saga

Perhaps most of you will be expecting a long tirade from me about the whole issue of NKF, but there isn't one.

The past week for me has been just spending hours trying to navigate myself through the scores of articles dedicated to this common Singapore controversy. I've definitely felt the anger rising in me as I read about how public money has been spent so callously, even though I'm not a donor of NKF. But I am rather proud at how, for the first time in Singapore history, people power have prevailed. The tremendous uproar, the intensity of emotions and the drastic actions of cancelling their donations have ultimately caused Durai and his team of executives to step down. It is definitely a victory worth celebrating, to see justice served.

I've read my friend's blog on this matter and he gives a very impressive analysis on the whole issue. The post is a bit long but it's worth it. He addresses many points which the NKF supporters throw up, and approaches them in a very logical, sensible manner. And well, he's not on the dean's list of law school for nothing. Do read if you're interested in this whole saga.
