To Feed Or Not To Feed...That Is The Question.

Apologies to Shakespeare for the use of his prose on the title but once again the question comes up.
Not in the minds of the Reach Out folks, but with other so called 'compassionate humanitarian' groups.
Yep, its time to expose the muppets (or as they are officially know the Kechara Organisation).
So its Chinese New Year.
You would think at this time when the underclass, the poor and the disadvantaged are ignored and not in many peoples minds, that organisations purporting to help them would do so.
Just a little bit.
Not much.
Don't have to invite them out to fancy restaurants.
But just give them a little something to let them share in the festive mood.
Let them know that they are not forgotten really.
We do. Reach hasn't missed any day of feeding since we started.
Reach has organised sahur during the month of Ramadan, a Christmas/New Year Party, and now is arranging a Chinese New Year Party. Apart from these extra events, Reach continues to conduct its education programmes and street feeding programmes without a pause.
No one is missed.
Why? Because its the right thing to do. Its that simple.
No heroes medals, no datukships/datinships, just for the people.
Which brings me to the point of this blog.
I ask the question again:
Why was the Kechara Soup Kitchen premises, (which was opened with public funding/sponsorship to provide hot food, showers, washing facilities, and a place of refuge for the homeless), closed during Chinese New Year?
Why is this premises not providing cooked food to the poor?
Why is the premises not providing the facilities it advertised during its fund raising campaign?
Why did KSK tell the street folks last week that they were closed for Chinese New Year and would not be distributing food?
Why during the week prior to Chinese New Year did KSK give money on the streets to certain Chinese street friends only? This is interesting as some of those getting the cash are drug addicts. Well done KSK on keeping those in habit on the very substances so many of us are trying to get them off.
Where is all the money going that is being raised by KSK for their street food programme? Could it be going to their World Peace Centre (formerly known as Tsem Kacho Ling Monastery) to be built at the cost of MYR150 million in the Genting Highlands, and is being advertised as the spiritual centre of Asia)?
Could it be that KSK, who claim publicly to be multiracial, and having no barriers (despite potential volunteers having to be vetted by their committee before being allowed to work in KSK), in fact don't have any volunteers during this Chinese New Year as they are not multi racial.
Do they care?
Is this a continuing scam to raise money for their main Buddhist Society and in particular their head and liasons group?
The signs are there.
To feed or not to feed..that is the question.
The answer....yeah Reach feeds regardless. Reach Out's Chinese volunteers found the time out of real compassion to work as volunteers.
How many others can say that?
