Wow my friend just called Kong Hee noble for "not drawing salary from the church". And went on to defend the stance by saying "anybody who gives up their salary although they are entitled to it is certainly noble, because it's a noble act.
Gosh...PR is amazing. Now I know why I kinda enjoy the work i do.
I hope people realize that Kong Hee is earning a lot from his businesses to live comfortably, and by giving up his church salary he actually isn't making his life any less difficult, but in fact is buying positive PR for himself.
I don't think he is noble...context people, context. Situations make a BIG difference. I agree that the act is noble. I disagree that because the act is noble, Kong Hee is.
Biggest irony? My friend is in the PR industry. Scary isn't it? How when we are supposedly media trained, but can still fall into the very same strategies that we are well-versed in?
Feel free to disagree.
