Do not underestimate the power of 3 full pages in the almighty Straits Times for 2 consecutive days, young jedis. Fear the SiPH as they rake NKF's tattered reputation over the coals. I almost feel sorry for TT Durai.
Apparently, vandals have gone crazy, spraypainting "LIAR" all over the NKF building's gates. NKF has also been getting a rush of abusive phone calls. hiyah....that's just not nice. can understand the sentiment but well...there are better ways to get NKF to wake up its ideas. And I totally think NKF needs some major "waking up of ideas" The backlash is swelling....scarys yah.
in the spirit of fairness: here are 3 links, one positive, one negative and one balanced about the NKF debacle
From Oikono, one of the very rare posts defending the NKF

Some well reasoned observations from John Lim about the debacle

...and a pretty funny and super-salty diatribe on NKF from superuglyfrangipani:

this has given me some interesting food for thought in the light of my waffling over whether to turn School of Thought into a social enterprise, set up a non-profit branch of SOT, or keep it for profit and just independent non-profit projects on the side.
Wondering which way is the cleanest foundation to build upon....at the moment I am leaning towards doing independent non-profit projects or setting up a second non-profit organisation under SOT. The Social enterprise thing is very new and quite tricky to think through I think. But I think it's safe to assume I am never gonna be getting $25,000 in salary with a 12 month bonus. darn. :)
