Read it and weap, if you peasants haven't wept enough when you watched TV charity shows, and kept adding senseless amounts to your phone bills and bank GIRO bills.
Shin Min Daily News tonight [as in Saturday, 16 July night] reported that show host Cao Qitai is paid $16,800 'red packet' per show. All other artiistes average 'about $5K to $6K' per stunt.
The payments are not the problem. The problem is that these artistes all pretended to be performing for free, for the sake of patients. In fact, they're all trying increase our donations so that they have more bargaining powers for bigger 'red packets' for subsequent shows.
If NKF, TCS or the artistes fail to clarify or sue SPH for this report, I trust we can all safely assume it to be true. [hm..., fair enough]
Never trust TV charity shows again. Never trust actors appealing for charity. There're actors after all. We all should've known better.
