TODAYonline-Anarchy of Altruism

TODAYonline: "SINGAPORE contributed a total of nearly $200 million to the December tsunami rescue and relief efforts, and non-profit organisations (NPOs) here are concerned that their share of the charity pie will be drastically reduced this year.
.
At the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre's (NVPC) annual conference yesterday, its chief executive officer Mrs Tan Chee Koon said: 'After the tsunami, reality set in. Charities faced the 'anarchy of altruism', an outpouring of people wanting to help without thinking, causing a lot of problems for NPOs."
