Is it rude for CEOs of a Corporation or an organization not to make any reply to a suggestion from a commoner? Are our CEOs nowadays so highly regarded as "heavenly deities" that they have forget about the responsibility to accept any suggestion that would improve the organization's effectiveness.
Having bed ridden for about 3 days in NUH in an non-airconditioned ward, I really missed the bed cooler. Can't imagine how those having bed sore would have gone through. Reading all about the features of our new Ng Teng Fong hospital in Jurong East which did not include bed cooler, I decided to write to the CEO some months back and give him the suggestion. To my surprise, not a single word...very discouraging.

Hi Stockpicker, hope all is well with you.  I had been hospitalised 3 times so far (twice for deliveries in KK Hospital & high fever when I was 14 in SGH).  All were torturing experience so far.... deprived of rest by roommates who were on the handphone all the time.

He might have valid reason for wanting to confront the other guy but he took the wrong decision to stop the guy in the middle of the road by driving dangerously. Understand that he also has another argument with the another lady driver. He would have a lot of explanation to do before the police can let him off the hook.

Commendable effort for this philanthropist who keeps a low profile of his good deed.  You'll never guess the number of schools Louis Koo secretly built in China
Wednesday, Feb 26, 2014 CHINA - In the past five years, Louis Koo (古天樂) has been secretly building public schools in mainland China to help young children in need of proper education.
 According to an article in Popular Asians, by the end of 2013, the Louis Koo Charitable Foundation had already successfully built 61 public schools spread across China in remote regions of Sichuan, Gansu, Guangxi, and Guizhou.
The Louis Koo Charitable Foundation was established in 2008 after the drastic earthquake that hit Sichuan, China. Schools and homes were destroyed, and families were left hopeless. Witnessing the problematic situation, Louis hoped to help the less fortunate through donations. All these years, he has kept a low profile regarding the good deeds he has done and preferred to keep them away from the limelight. When the press earlier phoned Louis to ask about how much he had spent building the schools, he replied via his manager that he does not wish to talk about money and had only wanted to focus on helping those in need. Each year, Louis busies himself shooting films, advertisements, and attending promotional functions. Reportedly, he pocketed 236 million RMB (S$48.7 million) in 2013.  According to market estimations, it currently costs approximately 500,000 RMB to build one school in mainland China.
Besides making donations, Louis also closely monitored the building progress of his schools. He sent a few workers to supervise the procedures and made sure the buildings were constructed safely and solidly . The 61 school buildings included lecture rooms and dormitories.
Louis' fans were extremely touched by his good deeds and how he has always maintained such a low profile when discussing his charitable work.
Netizens sent him thankful messages and expressed their gratitude.  RGS girls raise $80k to build school in China11 girls from Raffles Girls School raised a total of $80k in just a year.

Each little good deed accumulate to great deeds.  10 Great Philanthropists Who Are KIDS
Abby Miller is a 12-year-old musician who collects donations for 4-year-old Taylor Love, who suffers from neuroblastoma, a form of cancer affecting the nervous system. Most contributions come the old fashioned way– from playing on the street with a contribution bucket nearby. All funds go to help Taylor’s family with medical expenses. Passersby typically note Abby’s talent and drop in a few bucks, wondering why a young kid would be singing in the street on a cold day. Few notice she’s singing for a cause greater than herself.Olivia Bouler is an 11-year-old artist who has raised over $200,000 for the National Audubon Society, which is hard at work rescuing birds affected by the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.It all started when Olivia saw the oil spill on TV. Not knowing how to help, she wrote a letter to the Audubon Society, offering to sell her illustrations to raise money for cleanup costs. Then she hit upon the idea of just giving her drawings to anyone who donated to wildlife recovery efforts. Media outlets caught wind of her offer and the donations came flooding in. She’s made 150 illustrations so far, and shows no signs of stopping.5-year-old Phoebe Russell saw a homeless man begging for food and decided to raise $1,000 for the San Francisco Food Bank.  Her teacher tried to lower expectations to something more reasonable, but Phoebe’s heartwarming appeal to leave soda cans and donations at the school snowballed. Before she knew it, Phoebe had raised $3,736.30– the equivalent of 17,800 heated meals. |

Begging is a degrading idea for the most people, salute to this elderly who does it for a great cause.  This 99-Year-Old Man Begs Every Day And Gives It All Away To Churches And OrphanagesTo the unfamiliar passerby, Dobri Dobrev, 99, may come off as a haggard beggar who depends on the kindness of strangers to get by in life.But, for the residents of Sofia, Bulgaria, Dobrev is nothing of the sort. Rather, the area’s fixture has been called a "saint" and a "divine stranger," according to a website dedicated to Dobrev Dobrev lost most of his hearing during World War II, according to Yahoo News Canada. He lives more than 15 miles outside of Sofia, a distance he used to trek by foot, but he now relies on the bus, according to SaintDobry.com. He spends his days asking people for money, but he doesn’t keep a cent. The generous guy lives off of his monthly pension of 80 euros (about $100) and gives all his donations to institutions that are most dear to him: churches and orphanages.
Dobrev has made a number of generous donations throughout the years to churches, but one of his largest gifts was when he gave 35,700 lev (more than $24,000) to the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, according to a video released by the church. He has also been known to give money to orphanages to help them pay their utility bills. |
