If you couldn’t be bothered about following the developments of the City Harvest Church trial or have decided to give it a miss because you are only looking forward to the verdict, there’s just one thing about this case that you ought to know.
And that is: Deputy Public Prosecutor Christopher Ong on Aug. 20, 2014, pretty much showed why he is on the state’s prosecution team.
DPP Ong lured Kong Hee with his line of questioning by using an analogy about how buying a $1 million Ferrari is similar to budgeting for the Crossover Project.
This ended with the mega church founder not only admitting that it wasn’t beyond him to reverse-engineer his wife Sun Ho’s pop star success, but was evidently spending money he didn’t have, or else, even knowing how it could all be financed.
The Ferrari analogy works because one can simply substitute “buy a Ferrari” with “spend money on my wife Sun Ho” and you get the point.
Plus, more importantly, DPP Ong also showed that Kong was putting the cart before the horse: He wanted the Ferrari even when he wasn’t sure he could pay for it.
(No malice intended with the horse reference.)
The following exchange between DPP Ong and Kong is from City News on Aug. 20, 2014:
