MP Tin Pei Ling gives token of appreciation to Jackpot hawker aunty

[RonRon]

SINGAPORE - Jackpot-winning hawker Choo Hong Eng donated $280,000 to 26 different charities and causes, reported the Straits Times.

That is more than half of her winnings of $416,742.11, which she had promised to give away.


She received the prize from Marina Bay Sands two weeks ago. Ms Choo, 58, won the money on Oct 18 at MBS, but was told by a manager that there was a glitch with the machine.

It offered to compensate her with $50,000 and a car worth $258,962, but she refused, and complained to the Casino Regulatory Authority.

Among the charities that Ms Choo donated to were the Singapore Buddhist Federation, the National Kidney Foundation, free clinics such as the Public Free Clinic Society, schools (Manjusri Secondary and Maha Bodhi School) and homes for the aged.

She also made a donation to the Royal Thai embassy in aid of the flood relief efforts.

The staunch buddhist received a token of appreciation yesterday from National Kidney foundation chairman, Mr Gerard Ee and MP Tin Pei Ling, at a special dinner organised by the Singapore Buddhist Lodge

Kate Spade is certainly learning fast from the other spineless MIWs: Never miss a photo opportunity to score political points!

And can anyone ask the fat fark when is the ministers salary revision out? Farker has the time to partake in cheap publicity stunts? How difficult is it to say: "MIWs good for nothings are taking too much undeservedly from the masses. We recommend cutting two thirds of their current salary."

I was referring to Tin Pei Ling the Kate Spade girl. Obviously taking the oppurtunity for the free publicity, should at least have thrown in a Kate Spade bag for the auntie.

What has TPL got to do with the auntie, charity, NKF, Buddhist Lodge, Thai embassy or even Gerald Ee???? PAP is always trying to score political points.

Reminds me of a comedy. The character so desperate to have pic taken, that whenever strangers take picture, he will stick his neck in.:p

Wonder what's the feeling standing next to buddha.

I've never seen things as bad as they are now :(

One thing I know is that Sporeans will want to blame someone to blame for their plight. Never mind that they shouldn't have trusted all their eggs in one party. When things get uglier expect many of these clowns to run for cover instead of trying to get free publicity
