Mrs Goh Chok Tong steps down as NKF Patron
SINGAPORE : Mrs Goh Chok Tong has relinquished her position as Patron of the National Kidney Foundation.
This is to give the NKF a fresh start and enable a new Board to be appointed to recover public confidence in the organisation.
She said this had been a sad and unfortunate episode.
But she hopes that Singaporeans will continue to support the NKF's efforts to help kidney failure patients and their families.
Mrs Goh said the NKF had a noble mission. For more than 30 years, it has helped many kidney failure patients.
She said she was deeply grateful to Singaporeans for supporting NKF through the years. - CNA/de
