Today, the breaking news is about the arrest of Kong Hee, the founder of the mega church City Harvest Church for misuse of charity funds.
According to reports, among other things, the CoC (Commissioner of Charities) found financial irregularities of at least $23 million from the church funds. Its spokesman said the funds were used with the purported intention to finance the wife of pastor Kong, Ms Ho Yeow Sun's secular music career to connect with people.
Four others were charged along with him: his deputy, Mr Tan Ye Peng, former board member, John Lam Leng Hung, church investment manager Chew Eng Han, and church finance manager Sharon Tan Shao Yuen.
The investigations apparently started two years ago, on May 31 2010. Back then, the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) started an investigation into certain financial transactions of CHC after receiving information of misuse of CHC funds.
After two years, finally this issue is slowly coming to light!
And of course, Internet is abuzz with all kinds of discussions on him!
There's even a thread on hardwarezone to analyse his "Bazi"!
Until one guy buay tarhan and pleaded everyone to stop posting about him!
