Having said this, I must stress that

most recognized charitable bodies have had

considerable experience in organizing such

activities and, therefore, require little supervision. Since there are very few cases of

fraudulent fund-raising activities and the laws

against such offences are adequate to provide a

deterrent effect, the Government does not consider it necessary, at this stage, to impose an administrative system to supervise each and every project before and after the event. After

all, all donations are made on a voluntary basis,

and the Government should not be seen to be

discouraging bona fide charitable bodies from seeking public donations.
