The National Kidney Foundation Singapore scandal, also known as the NKF saga, NKF scandal, or NKF controversy, was a July 2005 scandal involving National Kidney Foundation Singapore following the collapse of a defamation trial which it brought against Susan Long and Singapore Press Holdings (SPH). This caused a massive backlash and fallout of donors to the charity, and subsequently resulted in the resignation of Chief Executive Officer T.T Durai and its board of directors.
Allegations surrounding the scandal included the false declarations on how long NKF's reserves could last, its number of patients, installation of a golden tap in Durai's private office suite, his salary, use of company cars and first-class air travel. Former NKF patron Tan Choo Leng, wife of Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, sparked further outrage when she remarked that T.T Durai's pay of "S$600,000 a year is peanuts".
President of the National Council of Social Services, Gerard Ee, has since been appointed as interim chairman of the organisation. A full independent audit on its finances was conducted by KPMG, and a 442-page report released on 19 December 2005 revealed several malpractices by the former NKF board and management. On 17 April 2006, Durai was arrested and charged under the Prevention of Corruptions Act by the Police. Trials against various defendents began 6/2005.

NKF (National Kidney Foundation) is a non-profitable organisation in Singapore. NKF is not supposed to earn a single cent out of this kind of non-beneficiary means. The scandal all begins with XXX misusing the money from the funds raising of the non-profitable organisation and every year, many Singaporeans or almost the whole nation donated a HUGE sum of money to the needy and unfortunate patients who suffer from terrible kidney failures. Thus, when the scandal was exposed, many Singaporeans stopped donating or donate not as much as before, worrying the same history will ever repeat again.

Come on! As a CEO, Durai salary is just "peanut" compare to our Ministers' salary! Don't forget our Government had tied Ministers' salary to CEO salary.....and yet our PM salary is about 2 million per year!!!!!! Which is 5 time more than US president!!!!!!!!!!!! If NKF scandal is crazy, then our Ministers salary is even more crazy!!!!

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.
They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!
This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.
It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.
