Parliament to discuss City Harvest case on Monday

Extremist said:

A question touching on the City Harvest Church saga has been tabled for the next Parliament sitting on Monday, July 9, along with others on voters, transport, education, health and manpower issues.

Also likely to be closely watched is the Government's response to the Committee of Inquiry's report on the MRT breakdowns, to be delivered by Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew. MINISTER LUI: The COI is only the first step. All concerned, including the Ministry will study carefully and to take steps which will ensure that such failures will not happen in every 50 years. In today's world, anything that happens within 25 years is acceptable.)

Nominated MP Laurence Lien is asking the Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports why the Commissioner of Charities' governance review of the church in 2008 had not uncovered the lack of compliance with regulations. MINISTER: As you can well imagine, when a thief is determined, there are ways to hide the matter. While we uncovered that they were paying their staff 3 times more than they were paying out in the form of charity, there were no laws are regulate the ratio. They also had a firewall of very loyal well-paid staff who were hard to penetrate. The important thing is that it is better late than never; it could have been later, so we should count our blessings indeed.

Mr Sitoh Yih Pin (Potong Pasir) meanwhile has tabled a question asking whether Singapore diplomats had indeed attended a political rally in Kuala Lumpur in April.

Not a good idea because there are convicts who became good pastors. I think prevention is better than cure. They should pass a law for all religious societies to strict adherence to the code of governance so that senior pastors cannot dictate what a church does

Because WW linked to several Elites in PAP, so they diam diam is it?

Ms Sylvia Lim: To ask the Minister for Law regarding the conviction of Dr Woffles Wu for abetment of giving false information to the police in what manner did Dr Wu abet the giving of false information to the police; whether the Attorney-General's Chambers' statement of 17 June 2012 explaining the choice of charge against Dr Wu has addressed public concerns about the equitability of the legal system; and whether the Ministry has confirmation that written grounds of decision will be given by the sentencing court, despite there being no appeal pending.​
