No need to worry.
The major charity organisations have direct control up to the receivers.
It's not like other countries where you have to deliver to the doorstep and then
go home w/o possibility of control.

Maybe, but if it's true it would only prove Dave's statement wrong if there were
any one sports star known to more than 5% of world's human population :)

  No worries ?  I doubt that <g>  It's already being reported in some areas.

p.s.  yep, corruption is present here, but it's not a systemic, cultural,
accepted way of life as in that part of the world.

It never fails, if you have people, you have corruption.  Corruption is not
immune to any walk of life.

Gents,
I should have added some more things in my recent statement.
Not sure if you know but I live in that area, i.e. Malaysia.
Corruption is quite an issue here but unlike Mafia-style it concentrates on
stuff like getting an approval here and there, how to avoid puspakom (Tuev,
MOT,...) once the roadtax has expired too long, avoiding expensive (and time
consuming) summons by road-block contributions.
