About 6 years ago, the NKF scandal broke out and the public find out that money raised for charity was used to provide a luxurious lifestyle for the board members in NKF. This was followed by the scandal in Renci Hospital and involved a high-ranking monk. Now, we heard a similar story from City Harvest Church. I believe the leaders in all organization started out with good purpose and intentions. When the pool of money grew, so did their personal ambitions. Inside their heart, a struggle for personal gain and public good ensued. Their personal gain won and a cover-up and show for the general public was staged.
In the NKF scandal, a lady by the name of Matika was infamous. It was understood that within two years, her salary increased 5 fold to more than $100,000 per year because of her good performance. She was not the first one to use sex for money and neither will she be the last one. The recent spate of scandals involving many government agencies chief is proof.
As the experts say, the names changed but the story remained the same. You may also remember a story told in schools, a wolf in sheep clothing. The recent spate of scandals in government agencies reminded me of a blog I wrote earlier “ Does lady bankers skirts have to be so short?”
I hope we learn an important lesson here. History repeats itself. The more things change, the more they remain the same.
