message: Shouldn't it be matron? Or is this a proper noun specifically for the 'protector' of NKF?? -Hmib 21:36, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah its called patron for some reason or other. What exactly is her role being a patron anyway? Patronize them? :D--Huaiwei 04:38, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: LOL actually I was questioning the gender-correctness of "patron", but yeah, what does she do as a patron/matron??? Any specific duties? Does she draw a salary from it? (hopefully not more than S$600,000!) -Hmib 05:35, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Haha IC. I dont know, but I suppose the word Patron is used as a non-gendered term in this regard. As for what she does, I can only guess that she is sort of a "public ambassador" for the organisation, since I saw on tv tt she appears during the NKF charity shows as a VIP or something. Now if only it turns out that she was the one footing Durai's $600,000 salary......:D--Huaiwei 06:19, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Currently, there is a section from "response from government". However, so far, I personally find that these responses are not representative of public opinion. I feel that the public voice is not given sufficient coverage here. "Public" of course include many donors and therefore not just curious coffeeshop uncles. Should I add a section on "Responses from public" or "Comments from public"?  Would this be encycleopedic and be of interest? However, there will be problem of citing sources. Can we cite sources from Internet posting, forum, blogs , etc, where commentators are anonymous? Is there any legal issue? Please comment or give some suggestions ... --Vsion 21:05, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Dunno, but go ahead, I guess. -Hmib 21:34, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

text: Responses from the general public are certainly worth a mention. The only issue is putting the ideas across without sounding like we are sympathising with anyone. As for citing from sources.....hm...I would personally use quotation marks and insert a source like an academic article. :D Otherwise, perhaps generally summarising the key ideas will do? If this goes well, we can even expand it to include the implications this event has on Singaporean society in general. The ST today suggests Singaporeans are less the apathetic then commonly perceived! :D--Huaiwei 21:45, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Haha, ST is certainly capitalizing on this. Too bad, I don't have access to these ST articles, because ST Interactive is a paid subscription and I don't earn "peanuts"; so I have to rely more on the CNA, and CNA forum postings, maybe Zaobao also. Are there any other good online sources, forums, etc. (talkingcock.com not counted)? This section should be NPOV and balanced as there are also some diehard NKF supporters out there, and their comments should be included. What's about the "SPH-Mediacorp" rivalry, any interesting notes on that? -- Vsion 22:18, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah the Mediacorp-SPH rivalry should be included on why there is such a hoo-ah in the first place. However talkingcock.com, once you discard the satirical skin, is a valuable source of minority sentiments in SG, so I think we can at least refer to it if not include sources from it. -Hmib 01:53, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi, wikipedia is not the place to solicit responses for school papers . :) Although you can search blogs online, every SG blog has an entry on it, I'm sure. -Hmib 18:53, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

message: In addition, NKFS gives patients a 20 percent subsidy only. Subsidized patients, after meeting the stringent requirement of not earning more than $1,000, have to foot 80 percent of the bill.
I remove the above text, until the source is provided, I tried to find but failed. Earlier section indicates that the subsidy is about 30% on average for NKFS patients. But it would be shocking if indeed patients earning less than $1,000 still have to foot 80% of bill! Please provide sources, thank you. -- Vsion 21:30, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
