SINGAPORE: The Singapore Buddhist Lodge (Welfare Foundation) has given out twenty per cent more red packets for the Lunar New Year this year.

This amounts to more than S$670,000 - an all-time high since it started distributing red packets in 1949.

More than 11,000 people are expected to benefit.

They include the elderly and the disabled registered with the Community Development Councils.

Acting Community Development, Youth and Sports Minister Chan Chun Sing graced the event and gave out red packets ranging from S$10 to S$180.

The Buddhist Lodge also donated S$60,000 to the National Kidney Foundation, with the money going towards a transport allowance for needy patients.

Singapore Buddhist Lodge president Lee Bock Guan said: "The price of coffee, drinks and daily expenses has increased. It is difficult for the elderly to celebrate the Lunar New Year so we found out how much we should increase our red packets by. Last year, we gave S$150. And this year, we increased it by 20 per cent."

S$670,000 ? how many percent of the donation does they give out and how many percents goes to their own pocket ? that is the question

 

[Narong Wongwan]

Lim Bock Guan is a lackey.

 

[Whats4]

Singapore Buddhist Lodge sponsored the red packet but kee chiu distributing it? what a free way of showing his care and concern for the needy

 

[Cruxx]

PAPpies would probably cite this as a model example of self-reliance: religious group helping the poor rather than relying on the government. Kim II-Sung would be proud to see how self-reliant Sinkies are

Lim Bock Guan the dying cancerous lackey is the one behind it.
Remember what he said about Mr LTK in the papers during GE 2011?

Yes, remember this LBG from the condo thread. Even if this running dog surrender IC, another one will come to take over. Only running dogs can qualify.

One thing for sure is money is indeed use for providing free meals to the public. Only how much?

I suggest you watch your words and not curse others!!

Cancer can strike anyone anything, you, me and your love ones!

PAP simply loves to tongpang credit. But when disaster strikes, no sound no picture from them. That's PAP's LEEdership, from papa to son.

Cancer has already gotten this bastard, I just wish him a speedier death...how is that cursing?
Since he is a Buddhist then I say this is karma.... I hereby curse him a slow painful death....

karma is merely the action, vipaka is the effect.
