it all started with TT Durai's NKF saga...followed by S'pore Youth founder...then Ren Ci...
i'm glad to say that the garmen has taken an active measure to audit NGOs and non-profitable / charitable organizations... ...Americunts like to call this "check and balance"
From my opinion, if the church leaders are clean and their accounts are properly managed...there is no need for City Harvest to be fearful to allow the auditors to scrutinize their accounts....only the church leaders and the senior pastor knows in their heart, what they have been doing.
Secondly, no church members will whistle-blow to the authorities if they did not smell something fishy...n these information and accusations about the church involving misuse of funds usually comes from insider info....but whether they are just plain accusations or the truth, it will be known once audit is done.
Thirdly, never trust your pastor or church leaders. Afterall, they r humans subject to temptations and mistakes.
Yes, he may be a eloquent speaker on the pulpit every sunday, does not mean he is not subjected to temptations, pride, arrogance, etc...when he sees the huge amount of money in the church's bank acc and afterall, he is the senior pastor and founder,...why can't i touch those money to use it for something else?...
Anyway, i have heard many stories of him from his members...like flying first class when he's on overseas speaking engagement....
I think the morale of the story is...if we are not careful...$$$ can corrupt a person...
