SingaporeSingapore's largest charity has called in the police to investigate “matters of grave concern” a month after its entire board was forced to quit amid a public outcry over the high salary and perks enjoyed by its chief executive.
The scandal at the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), now being run by an interim board, could blemish the city-state's reputation for clean governance.
The NKF said Thursday that it had asked the Commercial Affairs Department, which probes white-collar crime, to look into problems the new board had uncovered in its first month at the charity, which helps finance dialysis treatment for kidney patients. It gave no details."
