Singapore’s Dubious donation aunties: Are they collecting donations for legitimate charities?
Singapore’s truth story,
A Singaporean is doubtful of these aunties she saw seeking donations in shopping areas, and wonders if they are working for a real charity.
She took these photos on February 13, after following the aunties for hours.
She said:
“I find that the way that the aunties seeking donations is weird, shady or dubious.
“Are charities allowed to seek donations all year round?
“These few aunties have been spotted along Orchard Road seeking donations since october 2008 — in front of Shaw, Tangs, Paragon.
“From what I know, permit is required and permit is usually for few days in a year.
“They are using pledge cards — are pledge cards allowed for street donations?
“I dont’t think so…the name of the charity is Muhammadiyah Welfare Home…
“I have seen people who have donated without writing anything on the pledge cards and the aunties stuff the money into their bags.
“Do they hand in all the money that they have collected to the charity at the end of the day?
“What if they pocket the donation?
“And shouldn’t the money be placed in tin cans or a secured bag?
“When I took their photos, they would stop and walk away. Why?
“Are they doing something wrong?
“I saw one of them in front of one of the shopping malls.
“I was looking at her when she was asking people to donate when the traffic light was red.
“I was waiting to cross the road and she asked me what I was looking at.
“Then she walked away — into the shopping mall…shady?
Then i was chase and scream at by the thinner old aunty – she is using all kind of bad words…. she even try to slap me and snatch my handphone, onces she even call the security guard to check me out…
(update, Muhammadiyah Welfare Home does not have a permit to seek donations when this happened…)
their staff who answer my call says that they dont know???
con woman or what can she be, who will be doing charity 7days a week? unless she gets paid…
{she only will look out for tourist, rich aunties or people with shopping bags}
“I have taken part in the Yellow Ribbon’s and other donation drives before (usually only once a year and only one drive per charity).
“I have no problem with people looking at me or taking my photos.
“If you look at me when I am holding a donation tin, I will be very happy to walk over and ask you to please donate more — I am happy even if you drop ten cents into my tin.”
answer – ncss reply that pledge card can not be use for street collections, so it is wrong.
usually tin cans or secured bags are used to prevent ppl from pocketing the money…

Are there any charities issuing tax receipts for clothing and household item donations?
I know plenty that love to take the items, but none that will issue a tax donation receipt for the value of the goods. If there are any, it will fast become a favourite charity of mine.
