When there are questions surround the accounts of these charities, they responded with threats of lawsuits instead of greater transparency. When people refuse to tell you the numbers, they have something to hide and history tells us we should continue to probe because there is almost always something there they don't want you to see. For Singaporeans there is something very large and very opaque and we have been told to have faith and trust in the people managing it without full access to numbers.
A pastor during a sermon I attended a few years back said, "Do not put your faith in me.". He went to tell the congregation not to put their faith in their children, their parents, their spouses and their leaders. His message was that human beings are never perfect. They are always tempted to sin and not matter how strongly virtuous they have been in the past, they can succumb to various temptations.
While they may want to support Kong Hee as a friend in his time of need, they should be careful when dealing with the facts surrounding the case. If they continue to demonstrate a denial of the facts, the outcomes can show that their faith is blind and the credibility of their church can be destroyed and the church may not be able to recover from this setback. Kong Hee has hired one of the best lawyers in town. Justice should be allowed to run its course and all evidence surrounding the matter will emerge in the coming days.
