National Kidney Foundation scandal involving a major Shaw Foundation beneficiary
The National Kidney Foundation of Singapore became embroiled in a major scandal involving its former chief executive T. T. Durai, fundraising representations, alleged misuse of donation funds and governance failures. Durai withdrew the charity's legal claim against Singapore Press Holdings in July 2005, and the board resigned shortly afterward. The Shaw Foundation had been a significant donor, so the episode was associated with concerns about the effect on trust in charitable giving. The available material does not identify misconduct by Shaw Organisation or the Shaw Foundation itself.
