after i read this article on yahoo news, i felt very disgusted. why must such inconsiderate beasts be on earth. they are polluting the earth. why must they use hard earn money-turned to funds for themselves when its meant for their OWN people. their own brothers and sisters who have been affected by the quake in one way or another. its very saddening when such inhumane behaviour is exhibited by their very own people. i guess such beasts do not know any implications of their actions. what if pple decide to donate less to the unfortunate in the future? how will you feel when very little aid is coming along when you are affected by a disaster so great it wipes out buildings and schools and lives of little ones? the feeling is sure not good. so why the fuck are you leeching funds meant for your own people suffering?! (sorry for the foul language) pple lose trust in the people who handle such funds you know? its not the first time this has happened.
sometimes i really wonder what the world is coming to. i feel such people (as below) shld not even exist. they ought to be punished severly. i wld give them life imprisonment man. argh. so upsetting. and pls stop making use of the disaster to garner donations only to keep it for yourself you selfish sticking son of the b******. RARH.
Yahoo artcle: Bank Staff in china quake zone used donations to buy runners (shoes) : Govt
BEIJING (AFP) – - Staff at a bank in China’s quake zone used relief funds to buy themselves US brand runners, the country’s audit office said Friday after probing for instances of aid money going astray.A branch of ICBC, the biggest bank in China, in quake-hit Mianyang city bought 56 pairs of Nike runners for its workers, the audit office said in a statement posted on its website.
The branch used 28,500 yuan (4,100 dollars) to buy the shoes at the end of May, and faked the receipts to say it had bought raincoats, rubber boots and umbrellas, the report said.
“After the audit investigation revealed this problem, the bank returned the ’special earthquake funds’ that were inappropriately used,” the report said.
Another investigation by the audit office revealed that in some areas, text messages about the quake were sent en masse, and were suspected of cheating mobile phone users into donating money into bank accounts, the report said.
“According to our investigation, there are some people who already put earthquake donations into the fundraising accounts,” the report said.
Those accounts had been frozen, according to the audit office, which did not reveal how much money was involved.
Misappropriation of funds allocated to help in the wake of the 8.0-magnitude earthquake — which has killed nearly 70,000 and left another 17,500 missing — is of huge concern in a country where graft is endemic.
Corruption is rampant both in government ranks and throughout society, as the country ploughs through its development boom without a free press or an independent judiciary.
President Hu Jintao has repeatedly warned that corruption is one of the biggest threats to the legitimacy of the ruling Communist Party.
More than six billion dollars in aid from home and abroad has been donated for quake relief and the government has insisted it is doing all it can to ensure the money is spent in the correct manner.
