<!--lglcntbegin-->A BUSINESSMAN is seeking the return of $1.39 million from a monk, paid allegedly to set up a casino in Cambodia but which did not take off.
Venerable Meow Di, 43, abbot of the Mei Feng Fo Xin Buddhist temple in Lorong 27, Geylang, is denying the claims made by Mr Chua Kwee Sin.
He is also counter-suing Mr Chua, 46, seeking damages for alleged defamation for a letter the latter sent to the temple last December.
Ven Meow, abbot of four Buddhist groups here and head of a Buddhist sect, is also a chief instructor and adviser to several Shaolin martial-arts groups and lion and dragon-dance groups here and abroad.
According to court papers filed, Mr Chua alleged that the abbot approached him around October 2009 with a business proposal to open a casino in Cambodia.
They had been introduced through a mutual friend.
It is understood the casino was meant to be set up in a town near Cambodia's border with Vietnam, and less than a 30-minute drive from Ho Chi Minh city.
Mr Chua claimed that based on the abbot's assurances, he agreed to invest in the venture and forwarded $1,394,860 over about 11 days in November 2009.
Other than a cheque for $110,000, the rest of the payments were in cash.
Mr Chua, represented by lawyer Anthony Lim from Anthony & Wee Jin, claimed the project did not take off and the money was not returned. He is seeking damages and costs.
The abbot, in denying the claims, said it was a third party named William Tan who had proposed to Mr Chua to take part in the casino project.
In defence statements filed by his lawyer Chung Ping Shen from H.A. & Chung Partnership, the abbot said Mr Tan had invited Mr Chua to share in the joint venture.
Mr Tan, 42, a former consultant, and Mr Chua had known each other for 10 years.
Ven Meow made it clear he was a 'venerable Buddhist abbot' who had no knowledge of gambling or running a casino.
He alleged the suit was a conspiracy between the two men to smear him and cause him loss.
He said he is taking steps to include Mr Tan as a party to be sued.
He claimed it was Mr Tan who convinced Mr Chua to join the venture with an offer of a share in the equity of the project.
He added a partnership pact was signed between Mr Chua and Mr Tan on Nov 2, 2009, where the former agreed to invest and operate a casino in Cambodia for a total investment of US$1 million.
The abbot said Mr Tan had received two payments amounting to US$1 million in November and December 2009. He said the sums were handed over to Mr Tan, who confirmed receipt in writing. Any money, if at all received by the abbot, was handed over to Mr Tan.
The abbot added Mr Chua had been vague about the value of his investment and he wants more details in order to categorically rebut the claims.
The abbot is also counter-claiming for damages, alleging that a letter sent by Mr Chua to his temple and association had nothing on it to indicate that it was private or confidential and not meant for publication.
That meant that the contents of the letter, sent in December last year, were seen by various members of the temple.
He alleged the contents were defamatory and affected his reputation.
Mr Chung, speaking on the abbot's behalf last night, said the suit was 'a slur on his reputation and he is being victimised. His good nature is being taken advantage of and he intends to vigorously refute the claims'.
A High Court pre-trial conference was held on Monday and will continue next month.

[FONT=Comic Sans MS,Sans-Serif]Call himself an abbot, yet can't rescind worldly property, pursuits, and thoughts but harbour commercial interests like Ming Yi, wasted his years of training and bring shame to his teacher. He better disrobe himself rather than bringing shame to the Buddhist community.[/FONT]Counter-suing a mortal some more - Mr Chua !! Flushing his fucking training down the toilet bowl.
