ls xmas special

or biting the hand that used to feed me. See how I spill the dirt on how degenerate the Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society is ermmm right after I finish my physiology and molecular biology homework.

Before that, feast on this letter from the ST Forum.

"Society aims to serve Singaporeans of all backgrounds
I REFER to Ms Grace Chua's article, 'DBS' charity tie-up draws flak' (Dec 5). The article mentioned Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society. Kindly allow us to clarify our position.

Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society provides a holistic range of services to meet the needs of Singaporeans. Indeed, our welfare homes and centres have been serving people in need for the past 30 years - regardless of their ethnicity, religion or class.

We are happy that people from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds feel comfortable using our services.

Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society values and respects every individual. We aim to provide culturally-sensitive services that respect our clients' values and beliefs. For instance, our meal services for the needy include food prepared in accordance with the strictest religious requirements, depending on clients' needs. Our counselling services aim to help clients find solutions that best fit their situations. Our staff come from different countries, creeds, language groups, race and religions.

Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society seeks to promote social cohesion. All our Centres and Homes observe equally the festivals of Christmas, Hari Raya, Deepavali, Confucius' birthday, Vesak Day and Lao Zi's birthday. Our agencies have also partnered with other organisations, servicing different ethnic and religious groups. The Society itself has been partnering the Inter-Religious Organisation (which has 10 religious groups as its members) and the four self-help groups - Mendaki, Eurasian Association, Chinese Development Assistance Council and the Singapore Indian Development Association - to organise the annual Inter-Racial Inter Religious Harmony Night since 2004.

We hope this helps explain Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society's position.

Dr Lee Ngak Siang
Chief Executive Officer
Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society"
