the last NKF show

just saw the NKF show on Channel U. normally i would have turned it off, but for some reason i watched it. it was the one with the foreign artistes, i think i saw jeff chang inside.
because i thought, this could well be the last NKF show ever to hit singaporean tvs. some signs that this show is worth watching:

1) there is no counter anymore. previous shows have this stupid counter starting from a 5-digit no then slowly counting to a million plus.
2) no more cao qitai saying "qing-bo-da that number" stuff. in fact, he seemed quite pissed with the whole affair, intentionally not facing the cameras, saying some stuff like "finally i can forget about that number" or something. he should.
3) very sad expressions among the kidney / cancer / whatever patients. not those u find in those regular shows where they have zoe tay or fann wong in some darned short video clip where the extreme miserable side of the patient is shown, then later flashforward to the actual scene where the patient would be seen shedding tears.. not of sorrow because of their illness, but because some asshole bared open their vulnerability. now those patients are gonna get screwed cos no one has the faith to trust any charitable organisation, other than NKF, again.

yes, the ending song was sung, the confetti sprayed, and the last show was hence over. mrs goh, the long-time patron of the show, was not there (they didn't announce like, lets thank mrs goh for blah), the credits rolled on screen, putting an end to a scandal that rocked the nation, and perhaps even (true) fund-raising charities round the world.

no, the scandal has just begun. i believe in the days to come, before, during and after the probe into the NKF by the relevant authorities, there will probably be more shocking truths and revelations for the public.

i really pity those patients under them - brainwashed into believing that they had actually to pay "according to their own abilities", and us - brainwashed into adding funds into someone's own pocket. This incident could involve the loss of other things, such as the patients' lives, other than our own money.
