City Harvest judgement - God’s punishment

I am not religious, I don’t have a religion and unlikely to have one. Why am I talking about God’s punishment in this queer case? Actually it was a fairly straight forward case but somehow, somewhere a long the line, it seemed that something had happened, maybe God’s intervention, that the whole thing starts to smell, to look foul and to turn foul. Everyone is crying foul, from the people in the streets, in the kopitiams, in the govt, in the churches, in City Harvest, foul, foul, foul…
 

This is why I say it is God’s punishment. The only thing I am not sure, who is God punishing, the good ones, the innocent ones, the crooked ones, the holy ones, or the scheming ones? Come to think of it, everyone is being punished. No one is spared, from the accused/guilty parties from the CHC to the courts and the govt. Everyone seems to have been tarred by the soil water splashing around.
 

Everyone is looking ugly and smelly. How could this happen this way when only the culprits should be punished while the rest of the innocents, the courts and govt, should be standing on high ground as the deliverers of justice and looking good and shining bright, but not?
 

As they said, don’t meddle with shit, don’t play with shit, your hands would be dirty like shit and you will smell like shit. God’s punishment is on everyone dabbling with shit or putting their hands into the pot of shit. The good court and the judges are also being hurled with shit until Shanmugam had to tell the people to be less generous with their expletives. Unbelieveable, but as they said, God works in a mysterious way that human beans would not be able to understand. This is a rare case when the govt has to say ''tolong''.

What do you think?

  1. Uncle, gd morning. It's an Easter Saturday a beautiful morning. Regarding the CHC case & the reduced jailed term of these 'cheaters'..it seems that it's a form of a punishments from the Supreme Being of the Heaven (aka GOD)..it also look like the judges r also scared of GOD & won't wanto offend these "sons/daughter of God" ( as Kong Hee & members r consider Assembly of Gods ...me no Christians nor Catholic & in no position to opin further)..if watch the movie 'Exodus--GOds & Kings', one will realize that u get punished by the God when u ill-treat or abuse ur people..

  2. lf there is god, then there is no need for king, horseman and hangman.
    Things will naturally be in order.
    However, man is god himself. He is the King, the Horseman and the Hangman.
    He/she is also the Bad, the Good and the Ugly.

  3. I find the sentencing a bit confusing. Few of those Kena their sentences very close to the one that benefitted. I would have thought that while they all played a part, the sentence should differ that's the one who benefited the most versus those playing a part?

  5. If I am not wrong, the judges said only those outside agents that committed a breach of trust should be punished. Inside agents, like directors and management, when committed breach of trust, should be let off lightly like in this case.

    So law enforcing officers caught breaking the law should be lightly punished because the law is for the people, not for the enforcing officers.

    Seow leow.

    Maybe God interfered and like someone said above, the judges dared not offend God.

  6. It seems as if Singaporeans seem to think "money can solve everything".

    No talent as a singer, never mind.
    Pump in more money and we will be a success.

    No talent as a political leader, never mind.
    Pay a million dollar salary and the untalented monkey will blossom.

    No footballing talent.
    No talent to plan, lead, promote and develop the sports of football.
    Never mind.
    Just keep pumping in more money.

    (PS: Brazil has probably more talented kids playing football on the streets than Singapore has playing in our professional football league)

  8. anon933 yes this is the law it seems. If you are a public servant or agent and you embezzled $1000 you might go to jail for 10 years, but if you are not a public servant or agnet (i.e. ordinary person), and you embezzled and you embezzled $100,000 you might be jailed for 3 months.
    That unfortunately is the essence of the law as it is today, everything hinges on the personality of the defendant. The amount stolen is not related to the number of years jailed. This is how they calculate.
    If anything, this law need to be amended, i think shanmugam hinted at it. However, as it is, this seems to be the Law applicable at the time of offence, and konghee and gang, probably will enjoy their discounted sentence. This is how their God bless them, hallelujah! or shxx! depending on which side of the fence you sit.

  12. Hi Anon 9.47

    The rejoinder to As long as we keep believing there is only one political party who is capable of managing Singpaore, Expect to keep paying and paying more MONIES.

    But no guarantee to Heaven only to poor house, on the streets, under the flyovers or beaches.

    Aiya, what Section 409 and Section 406.

    CBT are CBT whether you are in the Management of the Companies.
    Whether you are the Accounts clerks or Accountants.

    What Agents. Those who are holding the MONIES in trust as Agents or what other terms.

    KONG and his associates not holding the church funds as trustees??

    Not as Agents?? As The Management and Directors of Companies.

    They appealing to Apex Court not to specially wants the Judges to repeal and resentence the case again.

    They knew the redundancy of this two sections and wants to simply have ONE to deter further CBT cases.

    The Directors and Management Team will in future siphoned millions and trillions and just served a light sentence under 406.

    So, they want to plug the loophole which is been formulated by their own high powered High IQ law markers.

    This is a too smart blunder been exploited by also their smart cunning kind.

    As for the different sentences, the Court took into consideration that some in the course of employment or duties are unwittingly caught in the Deceit.

    In the case of Sharon Tan who got the lightest sentence. She, I believe is not in Kong's inner circle of trusts. Only in the soup doing as what she been instructed to do.

    So been fair, she have the Lightest sentence.

    The Rest are all in league in this Swindle.

    Power means the ability to make things happen the way it happened.

    That's why they say God is very powerful one. So if PAP is very powerful, then PAP is like God lor.

    And if RB blog can make PAP lose power, and if only it really happen, then RB is also like God lor.

    Here is a very common occurrence except it has landed in the spotlight, a warning/wake up call perhaps, that people are easily misled and exploited for narcissistic and nefarious purposes.

    The law, some say dishonest judges, couldn't account for the many evil done while common people can clearly see who are the main beneficiary in the larger scheme of things.

    Men shouldn't play god or be given such powers because the consequence is hell.

  38. Remember this?
    Businessman Roland Poon Swee Kay, 39, for one, had called up and written to The Straits Times last week about the alleged impropriety. He said mixing religion with secular matters was 'unethical'.
    Mr Poon, who has been attending City Harvest for six years, alleged that he was 'encouraged' by his cell group leader to buy both of her albums, and so he bought five of each at one go.
    He also claimed that church funds were used for Ho's publicity and promotional campaign.
    He said the only reason he was staying on in the church was because he felt he had invested 'too much money' towards the $48.7 million used for the construction of the church building at Jurong West.
    In response, Rev Kong said that not a single cent from church funds was used to buy or to promote Sun's albums.
    Integrity, he added, was a core value of the church.
    'As such, we always try to be as transparent as we can in all our activities. Our accounts are audited yearly by a public accounting firm,' he said.

    Fart the Court of Law!

  39. In was reported that while appealing against Kong Hee’s conviction of misappropriating CHC’s funds, Kong’s lawyer Edwin Tong, who is also a Marine Parade GRC MP, argued in court that his client had acted in “good faith”.

    Senior Counsel Edwin Tong said that while church funds have been used to fund Sun Ho’s music career, it did not necessarily mean that he had been honest as the “intention to put the funds to wrongful use is not the same as the intention to cause wrongful loss“.

    “[The] accused believed wholeheartedly that they were using church funds for an approved church purpose,” he added. Kong has been sentenced to 8 years’ imprisonment by the High Court. He is currently appealing against his conviction.

    Kong started legal actions against whistle-blower

    If Kong had acted in “good faith”, by the same token, he should have also realised that his church member Roland Poon, had also acted in “good faith” in whistle-blowing on him for using the church funds to bankroll his wife’s music career.

    In 2003, CHC member Roland Poon began to question CHC’s support of the pop career of Kong’s wife, Sun Ho, openly.

    Mr Poon was angry enough about the matter that he contacted the media to complain about what he said were “improper practices” by his pastor, Kong Hee, and his wife.

    Then, Kong decided to take legal actions against Mr Poon. Mr Poon was threatened with legal actions if he failed to apologise to Kong, his wife and CHC. Mr Poon who did not have the kind of money to go through court trials capitulated and was forced to apologise.

    Kong made Roland Poon take out large advertisements in major newspapers

    One would have thought that a simple apology, say, apologising in front of the congregation, would suffice. But Kong did not just want a simple apology. He made Mr Poon take out large advertisements in several major newspapers.

    And before having Mr Poon’s apology was published in the newspapers, his lawyers vet through it to ensure that the wordings were to Kong’s liking.

  42. Here in Sinkieland or elsewhere when you are influential and well known in society, people
    tends to believe what you uttered is the truth.

    Most measured a person's success by his wealth or status in the society. So when someone accuses you of impropriety, even they are guilty, they will used their influence and status to sue to shut that person up.

    It's a game of playing chicken. See who blinks first and whether the accuser got enough dough and guts to challenge the accused person.

    Unless, it's a criminal charge as case been investigated by the Authorities.

    Likewise, the NKF saga, first accuser got shut up. Only the second case by a "ST" reporter was challenged by them as they need to be seen as a credible news carrier for their own reputation.

    Lawyers for the accused after conviction will explore all loop holes in the stated laws to appeal for a lower sentence in other sections of the charge and hoped that the Judges will buy their appeals.

    So, in the CHC case, the Judges brought the Edwin Tong's arguments that they are acting in.good faith to propgrate the gospel's teachings with no personal gains on their part.

    Also, their church members supported their Cross Over Project.

    He cunningly asked the charge to be in.Section 406 of which the sentence is lower in the point that they are not The Agents or whatever reference that meant to be.

    The Judges brought his argument. Anyway, when the Elites want to find a way to find a solution to a political cause, they will do it.

    They will still said they are still convicted on other charges. Anyway still got jail sentences.

    Any judgement in relation to religious sentiments, the Government of the Day got to be very cautious as it can become a political cause in further elections.

    Every religion or faith have numerous followers and they would not want to antagonise them by losing their votes.

    Leaders of religions can be great influencing factor in deciding their votes for any political party.

  47. Personally, as a layman and not a liar, think the Section 409 and 406 on CBT of what Agents and the actual people running the organisations committed the CBT is on different charge is an ambiguous one.

    In 406, Directors or Management staff who absconded or cheat their organizations monies are given a lesser sentence than in

    409, an agent like for example a lawyer handling someone's cash. The heavier sentence I think is meant for not too recently past cases of too many lawyers absconding with their clients
    cash.

    I think as Directors of the organizations, they have a much easier access to the organizations funds than as the Agents.

    So, in fact they.should be charged as under 409.

    As agents, someone has to transfer the funds before you can misappropriated it.

    Section 406 should be more apt.

    Our AG Office thought otherwise that Company Directors would not absconded with their own.monies whereas Agents most likely to do so.

    This is because of past many incidents of Rogue Lawyers
    absconding with client's monies.

    So this Edwin Tong is smart to convince the Judges that the lot of CHC leaders should be charged undrr this lower charge.

  63. Hi Redbean

    If they do not repent, the judgment from God is - hell, which is eternal, way worse than the few years of jail term on earth. That means if they went to jail but still think that they were doing the right thing (creative accounting). There are consequences when one sinned (even when repented).

    Many times we're taught: Do not idolized your pastors. Everything, refer back to the bible, God's word. So one can know if the pastor had twisted the word of God or not.

    Do not think God is not watching.
