City Harvest Pastor Kong and 5 arrested for CBT


Five members of City Harvest Church (CHC), including its founder Pastor Kong Hee, have been arrested early this morning for alleged criminal breach of trust and falsification of accounts of the church.

The other four arrested were John Tan Yee Peng, Lam Leng Ham, Chew Eng Ham and Sharon Tan. It was also reported that 3 other board members of the church, including Ho Yeow Sun have been suspended from duties.

The five will be charged tomorrow. This seems to be an endless list of cases involving prominent people and celebrities in the island. City Harvest is probably one of the most successful new church in the island and the news is going to be shocking.

This is no difference from Sunshine Empire or leaders of countries alleged in corrupt practices.

All they need to have is create a platform, leveraging on the trust and power granted to maximise the outcome for themselves.

This practice is commonly found in charitable organisations, private or listed companies and countries (developed or developing).

The church is supposedly built on solid promises - the word of their infallible God.

But alas, look what happened?

All the evidences are pointing to a very grave error

Funny the similarities between this case and the NKF. A whistle blower was sued and had to apologise in the papers. Now the whistle blower is vindicated and the guilties are going to face the music in court.

I am not at all surprised that it has come to this. All the speculation of wrongdoings earlier on and the massive funds involved, could only mean that the truth is going to hurt lots of people.

But whatever lah. the shepherd has again mislead his flock and the reality must be that two years of CAD investigation cannot be wrong in coming this conclusion. But expect the sheeps to continue to act in denial, as all sheeps do.

By the way, I do understand that the CHC do have many VIPs among it congregation. Ask them for help man! Maybe God can do something now.

Faithfull to hypnosis 101, and how to use cardiovascular beats to increase suggestibility, the service opened with the usual Karaoke. A constipated worship leader (It is not nice to say this but I cannot get around the thought that this probably very nice person, and definitely a gifted musician, has bowel problems). Same songs return every week: "Author and Savior" and I caught myself tapping my foot to the beat. Very catchy indeed.

The karaoke lasted for about 30 minutes, with the occassional Tongue speaking, then Pastor entered the arena to take it to the next level. 

"Let's not allow anything to stand in your way", "Open your mind", "Open your mind for Jesus", "Let everything fall aside", "Open your mind for Jesus", "Shiri ala bala chiriala", "Open your mouth", "Let Jesus come into this place", "Wonderful things are going to happen to us today", "God is gonna come and speak to us today", "Open your mind", ""Shiri ala bala chiriala",......"Let's give the Lord a big hand for his presence."

He sounded very much like one of those S$2.50 hypnosis tapes you can by at your friendly buddhist nieghborhood store.

At this point, everybody is standing up, eyes closed, hands towards the invisible Jesus, all speaking in tongues.

"God will touch us in a very special way", "Turn to your neighbor and say:"Jesus loves you, and I love you".  I took my own advice, and made sure I sat next to a good-looking worshipper. Kinda nice to look her straight in the eye while saying with a soft voice "I love you". It paid off as I took her for a drink and dinner after the show of which I will not report. ;)

Church funds diverted to advance the career of the founder pastor's wife while she gets to keep her income while the flock continue with regular donations to accrue prosperity, according to their Gospel? All boils down to showmanship with lots of smoke and mirrors.
Our SWFs have a lot more money but nobody can check their books and the sheep continue with monthly contributions. Somebody prove to me that our CPF is not the biggest Ponzi ever?

His Jesus must have a very very high tolerance for cheaters and liars and mind you....highly deluded ones too. His Jesus must also be culpable and the master mind behind the abuse of church funds since he is the pastor and the conduit of god.

Well, thy kingdom( which is political) has come. And the political will shall be done or shall fall on them .. and many like them who are not charged.

This case is only the tip of the iceberg. Given the fact that there are hundreds of local churches with thousands of screwed up heads running these divided organization ....big time and small time churches --- the abuse of funds can only be a matter of fact..

If Chee SJ can be criminalized for misappropriating small change, can you imagine the size of the crime, and shame, that can be uncovered in these churches?

I think the stupid sheep will have a cardiovascular attack if we dig up all the dirt in these churches.

Charismatic Evengilatical preaching ,I remembered when in New York in 1980s,we're televised every Sunday morning or they called it electronic church.It had huge following and donations were huge and the opportunity for fraud is equally huge..The famous case I knew is Jimmy Baker and I believe if I remembered rightly,he came to Singapore some years back and held a congregation at the Indoor Stadium
While I respect the followers freedom to worship and believe,the huge amount of money received is not in God's hand but in the Pastor's hands.that worry me.
Believers and worshippers are ripped off in the name of Christ.Why do such thing happened in Singapore when someone was blowing his whistle some ten years ago.
I can only point my finger to the PAP government and the state-controlled media,whose preoccupation was not to arouse religious controversy.Of course this is accomplished for the PAP benefit all these years,rather than allowing gradual freedom of expression of various religious beliefs. Suppresion of this freedom of religious and political beliefs have led to ethnic cleansing in Jugoslavia after Dictator Marshal Tito passed away.

This is a bad news for a good pastor.

No matter what , do not affect the belief in Lord Jesus.It s the relationship with God that you believe and trust on ... not the Pastor.

This totally made my day, about time that charlatan,KH, was made to account for his crimes. Using religion for gain... Yet it goes undetected for years. Worst is that people still believe this con artist with such vigor & hype, makes it both sad & funny at the same time.

Anonymous said...

With 33,000 followers each contributing $400 per month, CHC or KH receives $13,000,000 or $130,000,000 per year. Hey, its better than most businesses. This amount does not include additional collections from weeklydonations and others.

I think it is no more just a church, it is a business with members joining not becuause of Jesus but a good opportunity to increase their sales. People like Insurance Agents, Property Agents, Lawyers, Movie Directors etc will have an instant market.

KH has been pushed to cult like figure and his power is total. No body will dare to question the account. Sound familiar?

Anonymous (one of the many here) says, "Religion, at the end of the day, exact more evil than the purported good they bring to society."

On the contrary, the Holy Bible does not tell us that a man is "good". If anything, God tells us "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one."

And this is what God tells us His feelings about man that He created, "And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?" - Daniel 4:35

Hi sinner saved by grace, welcome to the blog.

True and sincere believers need not believe in any other man nor pray in any certain place. All they need to do is to be kind and fair to others.

For one to be superstitious and subject oneself to submit to another man, one must be very unsure of him/herself. True believer need no sermon nor fear any supernatural, a true believer will face the naked truth all by him/herself.

THOSE WHO SEEK PARDON ARE GUILTY OF THEIR OWN HAUNTING. Those who seek heaven are not sure they deserve the destination.

Peace be with you, Chua Chin Leng,

Firstly, God didn't "tried to drown everyone", He destroyed the whole of mankind (if you believe what is written in the Holy Bible) except for the eight souls He chose to demonstrate His mercy and grace, which by the way was pointing to "salvation by grace 100%".

Secondly, the God of the Holy Bible DOES NOT "make mistakes" at all. Everything that happens in the past, present and future is for His Holy purpose (again, if you believe what's written in the Holy Bible). He declares the following,

"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it."
- Isaiah 46:9-11

You see, nothing can happen outside of His purpose and will as you can read from the verses I have just shown you (again, if you believe the Holy Bible).

And what has happened at the City Harvest has been purposed and willed by God for His glory. How you may ask. That should He not show mercy and grace to the man who has sinned against Him, He will throw their souls in hell that He stands Holy in justice, for He is a just God.

For those of you who don't already know, I am a blaspheming infidel.

The majority of people who profess to be Christians (or any other faith) are good people, only because -- I've observed -- most people are good.

Sure there are people who do bad things -- on purpose for a "short cut" to personal gain -- but thankfully, they are a minority.

Anyway, ideas should be put under scrutiny, and if they don't hold any water, they should be viciously attacked. Religion is such a set of ideas, and thus should be viciously attacked. So let's all band together, as HUMANS and attack:

1. GOD

2. JESUS

...because not only are they really bad ideas, but they are FICTION.

...and

3. The most famous book of bullshit ever created aka "The Greatest Story Ever Sold" -- the most popular source of BAD IDEAS for nearly 2000 years. Wipe your shitty arse with it!

anonymous, whose "god of reason" that you claim you have is merely a figment of your own imagination. Mind you, gone are the days of the old testament accounts of what happened will ever happen again before the very eyes of mankind. But make no mistake, you have seen and witness enough in your lifetime or your lifetime to come that there are wars, earthquakes, tsunamis and whatever disaster that befalls the man.

I witness and testify unto you that these do not happen outside of my Father's will and purpose. Yes, He demonstrates His wrath via such disasters because of unbelief in Him and His Son Jesus Christ.

And tell me, where was your "god of reason" when all these disaster was happening? Was "your god of reason" on holiday or taking a nap all this while with you? So, going down to Hong Lim doesn't serve any purpose whatsoever. Why? That's because "your god of reason" can't even stop wars, earthquakes and whatever my God sends.

Go pick a fight with some other gods. But make no mistake, should you die in this unbelief of who Christ is, there's an eternal fire that awaits you which "your god of reason" cannot even put out, that's because he will be standing next to you together in eternal death.

anonymous of "god of reason", how convenient of you to put your superman, spiderman and your foolish imagination with the Holy Bible. Simply put, you're just in unbelief of what the Holy Bible tells you and according to the Bible, it's sufficient for God to condemn you to eternal death. After, it's unbelief that one is going to hell. I don't judge you but the very Word of God has already judged what you say.

As for showing up or not showing up at your battleground doesn't prove anything but that you're just hot air. To begin with, no one even challenged you to anything for you to react the way you did. You obviously hate the Truth, but that's your problem to deal with alone.

Th most basic and fundamental condition expected of any claims of life or relationship with a living person or entity is that the person or entity must respond or indicates life or essence of life

You talk to a piece of wood or to a Barbie doll, you are not gonna get a living response and you know the wood or doll is void of life.

If you claim you have a living and loving relation with a man or woman, he or she must be able to reciprocate signs of life such as touch or audible communication etc.

Similarly, you claim it is possible to have a living and loving relationship with God but you can't produce evidence of even the most basic condition required in achieving such a relationship how can you then expect people to believe your god is alive?

Now if you tell us you have a living and loving relationship with your parents, it is believable because you can produce evidence of such a living relationship.

With God, not possible and hence, anyone tells you otherwise without providing concrete evidence must either be a .. loony or a first class idiot.

Christianity has become a religion for those who want to be rich in this life in monetary terms.

It was used to be richness in spirit.

sinner said...

When one is classified a "FOOL" according to the Holy Bible (as declared by God Himself), is basically one who has no knowledge of who the True God of the Bible is. It has nothing to do with the carnal relationship we have on earth, that's a given. Anyways, we are made of dust - aka flesh and blood. God of the Holy Bible is neither. He's eternal and more importantly, Spirit and a Holy Spirit at that.

One may be a able to read the words of the Holy Bible but Jesus clearly declared, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."

And precisely, the words will be just words to the carnal man not born of the Holy Spirit. Knowing who God and Jesus Christ has nothing to do with the man but whether God has chosen him before the foundations of the world to reveal Himself to the creature made of dust.

And you think you really know the God of the Bible by just reading the Holy Bible with being born of His Spirit by His will? Well, good for you - that explains the "depth" of what true Christianity is all about. It's nothing to do with money or wealth! Those who get rich from using the name of God in vain will be held accountable on the Day of the Lord.

For God declared, "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." and Jesus even taught, "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."

And you think you know Christianity? Ya, right!

And do I stand in defense for what the CHC members have been accused of or for the fact anyone who uses God's name to "make money"?

And where did I say in my replies that "God was talking to me personally" like some?

If anyone who's "dehydrating in the brain", it's clearly you. You are so hung up with the hate you have for Jesus Christ that you are not even reading what I am saying, let alone what the Bible says.

Better go drink some water yourself, your brain must be shriveled...

The make-up gods need nothing, gods are make-believe stuff of the fearful and superstitious.
Waste not your time on imaginery. The guilty, pious or not should and shall be punished.

If heaven(another make-believe) is where one covets, go fast and live in peace. Please do not come and quarrel with others, it is a sin to do so.

Think about it, it is silly to ask that. The silly Christians are trapped in a dichotomy. They throw the name of god freely it becomes no right and wrong, anything goes and because their god has no mouth , or even care, to clarify which of the 30 000 denominations is the one listening him, the squabbling is unending.

And even if they distance themselves from the reality, the divisiveness in the body is enough to label all of them as idiots. And many are highly educated and successful idiots too.

"The silly Christians are trapped in a dichotomy." - there you go again, using the one same brush to paint anyone who calls themselves a christian, a Christian.

The Bible is explicit about who a true Christian is to who is a false christian. Yes, there's such a thing as a false christian and true Christian. Just like there's a difference between a goat and a sheep. Just because you hear the sound of a bleating animal, does it mean immediately it's a goat or a sheep? You will never know until you see it, right?

By that same token, it doesn't mean that some like CHC preaches the Gospel clearly makes them Christians. So, please stop pretending to know who is a Christian or even what is Christianity. You don't even have a single clue, judging from your comments.

The fundamental flaw in their doctrines is that they think they can form a human like relationship with this god and the result? Demonic voices come out of the body of Christ.

Stupid or not lah?

patriot, please feel free to join in this wonderful "quarrel", afterall you have already casted your stone by your own judgmental way. I am sure no one compelled nor forced you to be a part of this blog but you've "chosen" to add your comment to this "quarrel". And if you have done so, do not ask others to do what you yourself seemed unwilling to do by adding your comment in between this "quarrel".

It smells of hypocrisy, which simply means, you're a bloody hypocrite!

"so who is to say KH is wrong and you are right?"

Mind you, KH is not in the secular court to be prosecuted because he loves Jesus Christ or was he arrested for preaching the Lord Jesus Christ. And if KH is right in doing what he did because you say so, doesn't that even proof further that you're a lover of iniquities? A lover of someone who cheats?

For your information, Christianity is not on trial here. What's on trial is the government of Singapore has deemed it so that KH and his accomplices are being accused of breaking the COC law.

But you have chosen for yourself to put Jesus Christ on trial here. Good for you!

You bodoh...Christianity is on trial lah. In the first place...Christianity and secular govt are separate entities.

In Christianity, the followers pledge allegiance to "god", not to Caesars

If KH heard from God telling him to promote his wife in Hollywood, who are you and the govt to tell him what he did was wrong?

patriot shall end his comment with this one.
It is no fun talking to quarrelsome and conceited superstitious folk.

It is a pity if this discussion turns into a quarrel. It would be better if both sides stick to presenting your views on what you think it should be rather than name calling.

I believe all the readers would appreciate clever and logical discussion.

I prefer everyone to respect everyone else's view or position even if one does not agree. I know that at times we can see how ridiculous the other person's point is. But he/she has the right to believe what he/she chose to believe and you know why he/she do so.
We can quietly tell ourselves, wah like dat also can, like dat also got: )

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

The bible said, Everything comes from the word. And the word is God. So all things are God, or comes from God, or a part of God.

Logical? We comes from the word. So we are also God or a part of God. God is spirit. We too have spirit in us. The kingdom of God is inside you. And who shall reside in the kingdom of God? Must be God right?

Amen
