President’s Star Charity Show- is there a need for artistes to perform stunts to milk the public’s compassion for more generous donations?

Discussing about this topic, there is something we have to first clarify before, heading directly into it. What personalities do Singaporean have in common generally? I would say that Singaporean are on of the most practical nationality in the world. We would expect something in return for whatever we give. There must definitely be an element of trade for whatever we do, placing our compassion at the back of our minds.
I have two view on for this question.
Firstly, I think that when such charities are being introduced to Singaporeans, not many people actually care about them, they just have that very practical Singaporean mindsets. therefore to milk money out of Singaporeans, it requires a bit of effort to put up performances to entertain and garner support for the foundation. Thus, this would be more like a show then a fund raising event.
In conclusion, there is definitely a need for them to put up shows like these to move the hearts of Singaporeans. Due to the many incidents that occurred last year, people began to lose faith on these charitable foundation. One good example is NKF, when T.T durai embezzled a large amount of funds for personal use. Therefore, to acheive the aim of gathering money, artiste tend to sell their performance, instead of moving people to donate to these organizations.
However, I think that there isn't a need for atriste to perform. I always beleive that charities come from within, its a matter of whether we would be kind enough to donate money to the organization, and not a matter of whether we woudl like to donate money because of the artiste performance. Therefore, if they would like to call it charity, I think there should not be any show as it fully beats the purpose of charity, where people are suppose to donate generously from within. The issue on getting more generous donations, solely depends on the income or financial ability of the household.even if you create shows for the people, those who sincerely want to donate will donate the same amount as before, as they people will still remain the same, having the same financial ability, causing no change in the amount of donations given.
Thus I do not see a need in charity shows, as it would only create a greater impression of the organizations as money earning, not being as generous as before, not donating as much.
Thus in conclusion, I think that all these charity shows are not neccesary, unless the need for money by the foundation is so desperate. And all these shows should stop, leaving these donations to come from the heart of Singaporeans, instead of the Singaporean "traders".
