Ex-pastor gets cane for molestation
By Wong Fei Wan
IF KOH Seng Kee had wanted to help the 21-year-old woman he approached along Orchard Road, he would have said he was a pastor.

He did not.

That 'strange' omission, plus other inconsistencies in his testimony during his trial for molestation, led to his conviction yesterday.

In front of about 30 crying relatives and well-wishers, District Judge Audrey Lim sentenced him to nine months' jail and three strokes of the cane.

Koh, 48, then a pastor with The Tabernacle Church and Missions in Tanjong Katong Road, had approached the woman in front of Faber House between midnight and 1 am on Feb 17. She was waiting for her husband.

Introducing himself as Victor, he asked her if she was facing problems and she replied, 'No'. She also declined his offer of a drink.

She told the court that Koh then gave her his mobile-phone number and told her she could call him if she had any problems.

After that, Koh caressed the woman's shoulder, kissed her left cheek and grabbed her right breast, she said.

But Koh testified that he went up to the woman because he sensed that she had problems and he wanted to help her.

He said he only shook her hand and put his hand on her shoulder to 'assure her that everything was okay'.

But the judge did not believe his tale and pointed out other inconsistencies.

When the woman, who Koh claimed wanted to trap him, called to meet up, he said he was busy. But he agreed to meet the woman after she phoned him again and lied to him that she was single.

The judge also pointed out that Koh had told the police that he had given the woman his number so that she could call him for a drink.

But in court, he said that he had given out his mobile-phone number so that she could call him if she had any problems.

In mitigation, defence lawyer Leong Kwok Yan said that Koh was not a serial molester and had not used force on the woman.

Mr Leong said Koh realised he had 'brought shame to his family and dishonour to God' when he succumbed to temptation.

The judge described the whole incident as 'unfortunate and regrettable', but asked church members to support their former pastor and give him another chance.

'He is, after all, human.'


"Christian halfway houses are filled with convict converts, I am referring to Christians who are born Christian, like myself "

I don't think the magazine should make fun of any race as well, simply because they would be generalising.
Religion is a sensitive and personal thing to people, and we should respect those who practise their faith quietly and don't harm or offend anybody.

By all means talk about those who intrude and impose on others with their faith or who enrich themselves or further their own self interests via religion.

Please don't lie, convicts like you don't work in prison, you were in prison. And Christians as a whole commit the least crimes in Singapore. I dare you to prove me to me otherwise.

no lah i think the govt just wants to be PC about it which is good. I'm not sure who complained or if anyone complained but i think the govt is taking a 0 tolerance policy to any major religion in sg being offended. That's actually pretty good. If you want to compare the reactions of which religion's worshippers to being offended of course the most sensitive would be muslims then christians then taoists, buddhists. Muslims and some hard core christians would probably even resort to violence or something along those lines.
