Another night of NKF charity. Quite disappointing as i expect something more spectacular. It's always the usual stuff, either for ill kids or people with kidney problems. There will be always a story to tell and poor Mediacorp artistes will be doing things normal artistes do not do on TV. But then again it is show biz, Mediacorp is not dumb enough to let its artistes get so hurt they need to be on medical leave for a few months delaying their schedule.

As I see the suffering kids with all kinds of ailments. For those kids who are borned with a defective brain and other associated diseases, like the 6 yr old gal who was featured this evening. I really do pity the parents. If they have a choice or if they know beforehand that their child will be like this for the rest of her life, will they bring her to this world ? What is the point of giving birth to a child who cannot take care of his/herself ? Like the 6 yr old gal, she cannot talk, stand, walk, eat, drink. She could not do anything. What is the point ? In this practical and cruel world where everything need to be perfect, in terms of looks and everything, where can this little gal go or be in the future ?

In the natural world, the weak, sick and old are often the ones to be devoured or killed or die. It is the survival of the fittest. This is to ensure only the ones with the best genes or those in the best of health live. Humans are weird, they just cannot accept the fact that a child with a defective brain or other diseases which make them "different" simply makes them to be better dead than alive.

Like in the case of the poor 6 yr old gal or other kids with the same disease. Let's say if she dies one day, it will be better off for herself, (if she ever knows that she is in pain or her parents are suffering) AND her parents. It is simply a matter of fact. For the other children who maybe suffering from bone diseases or heart diseases, yes they might be crippled or be in disadvantage from other people, but they can still recieve education like any other. They might need long-term medical treatment, they might need to have operations to improve their conditions. In other words, they have hope. I think these are the ones who really need the charity, the money. For a child who is with half a brain, what hope is there ? What is the point of prolonging their life to make them suffer the pain they do not deserve ? What is the point of making their parents suffer ? For morality ? For what ?

This evening's show is indeed a little sub standard. Or is it the fact that we are seeing these kinda acts for like 4 times a year that we have grown numb against it ? There will be NKF charity for kidney patients, now NKF charity for disabled kids, President Charity and one other. Almost for each event, we donated like 10 million dollars. In other words, we are donating like almost 40+ million dollars each year. S$4000 0000. This is only a very marginal amount, do not forget those amount donated from other organisations, rich people. Do they need so much money to run ?

Next yr, I think we will have Fann Wong or Zoe Tay frying chicken wings, youtiao in a pot of boiling oil with their bare hands. Or we might have how long can a person endure a million watts of electricity for 5 min just for $1000 000 dollars. How about bidding $10000 for every shred of Fann Wong's porceline like skin ? Sharon Au had already "shang dao shan" ( climb a moutain of knives ), Wang Hui had fu tang and Jacky and Tay Ping Hui had dao huo ( throw yourself in hot soup and jump into fire ). Think the only thing left is "xia you guo" ( get into a pan/wok or oil). Oh wait, we still have the Chinese 18 levels of hell. This could be a good selling idea for next or coming charity events, right MediaCorp ?
