Chitchat Sinkie Keling High Priest Arrested Like A Common Thief! Guess Religion! Guess Temple!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE - The police are investigating the chief priest of Singapore's oldest Hindu temple, the Sri Mariamman Temple, for an incident involving criminal breach of trust.

In a statement released on Saturday night (Aug 1), the temple said a police report was lodged regarding gold ornaments that went missing in the custody of its chief priest Mr Sivashri Kandasamy Senapathi.

In response to queries from The Straits Times, the police confirmed the report, and said a 36-year-old man was arrested for criminal breach of trust as a servant.


Police investigations are ongoing.

The man is currently out on bail.

Gold ornaments which are frequently used for prayers are kept in the custody of the chief priest in the inner sanctum of the temple, and regular audits are done to ensure that the ornaments are physically accounted for, said the temple in the statement.

"During the last audit, it was discovered (that) some gold ornaments were missing. The chief priest was questioned, and he subsequently returned all missing gold ornaments," said the temple.

It added that further checks by the temple committee confirmed that all gold ornaments were fully accounted for and no other person was involved in the incident.

"As it appeared that an offence (had) been committed, a police report was lodged notwithstanding the fact that the temple suffered no loss," said the statement.

When contacted, a temple spokesman confirmed the name of the chief priest, but said it was unable to give more details of the case, such as the dates of the incident and the report, and further details of the offence, as investigations were ongoing.

The Straits Times understands the incident happened on July 29.

The temple committee has kept the Hindu Endowments Board informed of this matter and is working to have closure on this matter, added the statement.

The Sri Mariamman Temple was constructed around 1827 and is one of the main temples for Hindu worshippers in Singapore.

Before the Covid-19 pandemic, it was also a popular tourist spot in Chinatown and is also home to the annual firewalking festival.

The offence of criminal breach of trust happens when a person dishonestly misappropriates, takes, uses or disposes of any property which he has control over.

Don't try to be funny John Tan.
The biggest priest who stole the most was KongHee.
Guess his race and religion. Its the same as yours.

 

[Froggy]

Gold ornaments for the keling gods are kept in the inner sanctum. There are no missing gold finally so what’s the big fuss? I’m sure the good priest is just keeping those really valuable ones in his inner inner sanctum for safe keeping during the audit.

Kong Hee is not a priest... he was never ordained. He is a snake oil salesman.

Maybe he planned to take them to Maxi-Cash for further safekeeping.

Ordained or not does not matter. All religious leaders and teachers are snake oil salesmen. They all try to profit from the weak-mindedness of believers.

New age religions are very lucrative businesses. I seriously need to tap into it and get rich. It's a pity Star Wars related religions are already accounted for.
