The Commissioner of Charities (COC) is acting to remove eight leaders of City Harvest Church, including its founder Kong Hee, from office. This is after they were suspended last year by COC following an inquiry which revealed there was mismanagement of funds at the church.
The eight are: Kong Hee, a board member of the church; Lam Leng Hung, the board's chairman and a trustee; Tan Ye Peng, vice-chairman of the board and a trustee; Kelvin Teo Meng How, executive director of the church's administration division; Sharon Tan Shao Yuen; Chew Eng Han; Jacqueline Tan Su Pheng and Serina Wee Gek Yin, all executive members of the church.
If the COC is successful in applying to remove them - with the consent of the Attorney General's Chambers - the eight will no longer be allowed to hold any office positions in City Harvest Church or any other charities for life.
Six of them - Kong Hee, Lam Leng Hung, Tan Ye Peng, Sharon Tan, Chew Eng Han and Serina Wee - are also facing criminal proceedings for allegedly embezzling more than $50 million from their parish. The trial starts on May 15.
