 mrbrown: L'infantile terrible of Singapore: NKF drama ends on Day 2, but questions will linger
The transcript of their lawyer aggressively cross-examining NKF CEO TT Durai was a good read too, but I had trouble finding the transcripts or even reports of the NKF lawyer's cross-examination of SPH and of Durai in the ST. Maybe they ran out of space in the ST, and could not cover that.
And in case you guys are too young to remember, NKF sued to chase a widow out of her house, because the naive dead husband instructed in his will that half his assets will be donated to NKF.
NKF had been behaving like Mafia all this time, using their lawyers to suppress all dissent(and even profiting in the process), or downright plunder widows because the dumb husband thought he was being charitable.

 AsiaMedia :: SINGAPORE: Publisher says 'sorry' to NKF over Web article
At a press conference held at NKF Centre yesterday, Dr Phan, 40, acknowledged that the article, which he did not write, was 'malicious' and contained 'erroneous conclusions drawn from media reports'.
Neither the NKF nor Dr Phan would name the writer of the article but, when asked if it would act against the writer, the NKF said it was 'looking into the matter'.
But in 2001, the case was brought before the Singapore Mediation Centre and an agreement was reached in which the NKF would receive $560,000 from the sale of the house if she died or sold it, whichever happened first.

 People's Daily Online -- New NKF Board should carry out six tasks: Health Minister   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The second task raised by the minister was to address the public unease and disquiet over allegations of questionable practices and inappropriate spending of charity funds.
Other tasks included reviewing the adequacy of the reserves for dialysis patients, corporate governance, NKF's communications with their donors, as well as the pricing and subsidy policies of the organization's dialysis programs.
The revelations of NKF Chief Executive Officer (CEO) T. Durai's high salary and travel perks, as well as the inaccurate information the charity provided the public about the amount of its reserves, led to the resignation of the Board and Durai himself last week.

Fair enough if NKF has been so successful in raising funds, and TT Durai is rewarded for hitting his targets ($150 mil turnover; although actually, my company's turnover is 1,000 times that amount and my boss doesn't have a gold-plated tap in his toilet).
NKF is a Day One company at the institute, nudging for space with names like Citibank and Procter & Gamble.
