Red Cross donations

Red Cross donations

From Neraca

I was annoyed by the way some youths at Pulogadung bus terminal forced people entering the terminal to donate to the Red Cross. It is not the amount of money that matters but their unethical attitude that causes concern.

Surprisingly, local transport supervisors were there witnessing the act of those young people, yet did nothing about it.

The same practice is also found at Kampung Rambutan bus terminal and many other major terminals.

My question is: Did the Red Cross instruct the young people to be forceful in their endeavor to get donations? If not, measures should be taken to stop such harsh actions in order to maintain the good image of the Red Cross. The Red Cross fund raising month should not be manipulated by irresponsible people.

I remember certain people some years ago collecting donations with fake Red Cross receipts, a harmful act to the society.
