majorly pissed!

if you've seen the ST yesterday and today, you'd be too!!! especially if you were a longtime supporter/donor...

how can an organisation be THAT badly mismanaged??? too much frickin' autonomy given to one bastich and lax oversight by the MOH and NCCS...someone's head HAS TO roll for this!

what the fuck??!!?? ok, so you say you are trying to save $ by buying your airtix overseas...then why the hell do you buy 1st class and not business class??? and what gives you the right to backdate your blardy leave and claim monies against unused leave? 73 fucking thousand dollars!!!

critically, the most damning point - of every dollar that's donated, the patients only get about 10 cents...TEN !@#$@#$T%@#-ing CENTS ONLY!!! nabeh pua cheebye!!!!!

i tell you, if i see the piece of maggot-infested hyena dung on the streets, i make sure i break his blardy legs!
