Church announces new appointments


Note posted on website says no change to operations and weekend services

04:46 AM Jun 27, 2012
by Neo Chai Chin

SINGAPORE - In the wake of the arrests and suspensions of some of its leaders, City Harvest Church last night informed its congregation of new appointments.

This as members of the charity and corporate governance sectors said the findings of the authorities' probes have once again brought into focus the importance of sound governance and the responsibility of individuals given this task.

CHC executive pastor Aries Zulkarnain wrote in a note posted on the church's website that two overseas pastors on its advisory committee - Dr Phil Pringle, founder and Senior Minister of the Christian City Church in Sydney, and Dr A R Bernard, founder and CEO of Christian Cultural Centre in New York - had been appointed advisory senior pastors of the church.

He added that there was no change to the church's operations and weekend services, and that the church management board "continues to provide guidance on the running of the church".

He did not say who made up the church's management board following the suspensions of some of the members.

Mr Kong made an oblique reference to yesterday's happenings on Twitter and Facebook at about 7pm, calling it a "tough day".

At CHC's Jurong West premises, the gates were locked when TODAY visited yesterday afternoon, even though they should have been open according to a sign stating the church's opening hours.

Ms Joleen Seem, 24, an assistant marketing executive who has been attending the church for six years, told TODAY that she was "shocked" by the news.

She said: "There were no hints of such issues. Pastor Kong was still preaching and the care groups were still functioning. But this hasn't changed my impression of the church."

Corporate governance and charity experts cautioned against rushing to judgment.

"Lapses can happen in any organisation. I think we should reserve our comments until the case is up," said social service veteran Gerard Ee.

He did not think this latest development in the charity sector would affect the public's generosity.

"It's just that people will be more selective which organisations to support and, therefore, it makes it more critical that organisations must be seen to be practising good governance and transparency," he said.

Marine Parade GRC Member of Parliament Seah Kian Peng, who chairs the Government Parliamentary Committee for Community Development, Youth and Sports, cautioned against linking the case to religion: "The public ought to be clear it's about (the) governance of charities, and of individuals entrusted with this process of governance."

Singapore Management University accountancy don Leong Kwong Sin noted that the COC findings cover various types of "misdeeds" ranging from the obviously wrong - such as falsification of records - to the bypassing of due process, and "forgetting that 'self-interest' has to be explicitly separated from organisation's interest".

"The last is sometimes ambiguous because it is so easy to convince oneself that 'If what is good for me is also good for the organisation, then it should be okay'," he said.

"But it is not ... unless it is decided by independent stakeholders of the organisation," he said.

This episode perhaps shows the need for a whistle-blowing policy for charities, said Associate Professor Ho Yew Kee of the National University of Singapore's business school.

He pointed out that the similarity between the City Harvest Church and previous charity scandals lies in the presence of "influential people" on the board who want things done in a certain way and they attract the acquiescence of other board members to go along.

Speaking to Channel NewsAsia, NUS Associate Professor Mak Yuen Teen added: "You can see that the board was dominated by people who were essentially employees of the church. So, the question therefore is where is the check and balances in place."

The charity sector as a whole should not be judged because of this episode, cautioned chief executive of the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) Laurence Lien.

"Generally, good governance is practised in most charities. What is perhaps more critical though, is good leadership and planned leadership succession," said Mr Lien.

"NVPC will continue to work with the Centre for Non-Profit Leadership to help strengthen board leadership and advocate for board renewal."

Vindication for 2003 whistle blower after 9 years later! Better late than never.

Look at the last statement of the article below by Sun Ho, "she believes that in time, the truth will dawn", she was right after all!


Businessman withdraws allegations about City Harvest Church and singer Ho Yeow Sun, and church prays to forgive him over the weekend
The Straits Times (Singapore), Jan. 27, 2003

The man who made allegations about City Harvest Church’s support of pastor-singer Ho Yeow Sun’s pop career has apologised publicly.

And in five sermons over the weekend, Ho’s husband, church founder and senior pastor Reverend Kong Hee, asked the congregation to forgive the man.

Two weeks ago, Mr Roland Poon Swee Kay contacted the press to complain about what he said were improper practices by Rev Kong and his wife.

Last Friday, the 53-year-old businessman issued four apologies in The Straits Times, Lianhe Zaobao, Lianhe Wanbao and Shin Min Daily News. A fifth apology appeared in The New Paper last Saturday.

In all, they cost $33,372.06. A source close to Mr Poon said yesterday that the amount was paid by an anonymous donor who knew of the businessman’s financial difficulties.

In the half-page apology in The Straits Times, Mr Poon, a member of the church, said he had fed false information to journalists from Life! and Today via e-mail and telephone conversations.

He also retracted all previous statements he had made regarding Rev Kong, Ho and the church.

Some of his earlier remarks were aired on Channel NewsAsia on Jan 17. This was followed by a Page 1 story in Today on Jan 18, which claimed that some church members had expressed uneasiness over City Harvest’s support of Ho’s pop career.

After reading the report, Ho, 31, who was then in Taiwan, broke down in tears.

In a Life! story published last Monday, she said that she had done nothing wrong.

Her husband also denied Mr Poon’s allegations. Rev Kong said that no church funds had been used for Ho’s pop career promotion, and that it was normal practice for the church to support and celebrate the secular success of its members.

The Chinese press also picked up the story.

Ho, who has been the church’s music pastor since 1993, launched her pop career last year.

Her first album, Sun With Love, sold more than 100,000 copies last year.

She recently launched her second work, Sun*day. All proceeds from both albums are pledged to charity.

She also sang at last Friday’s MTV Asia Awards, and was nominated for Favourite Artiste – Singapore.

As a result of all the news, members of City Harvest, which is in Jurong West, say they have been under a lot of ‘unnecessary’ scrutiny.

UFM 1003 DJ Danny Yeo, 30, for one, said he had been bombarded with phone calls.

‘I tell people that I’m still attending City Harvest and that it takes more than reading headlines and newspapers to make a judgment about the church,’ he said.

Last Friday, Life! also published a response from the City Harvest management board.

The letter reiterated Rev Kong’s stand that no church funds were used to finance Ho’s pop career. It added that there was no hard-selling of her two CDs in the church and no question of a personality cult forming.


That Mr Poon’s retraction in The Straits Times appeared on the same day as the church’s reply has raised some eyebrows among observers.

However, Rev Kong and church board member Chew Eng Han explained yesterday that it was pure coincidence.

The board had already submitted its statement to the newspaper last Wednesday, before the church received a call from Mr Poon later that day.

‘He voluntarily met up with me and a few board members at Fullerton Hotel on Wednesday evening,’ said Mr Chew, 42, a general manager of an American bank.


Last Friday, the 53-year-old businessman issued four apologies in The Straits Times, Lianhe Zaobao, Lianhe Wanbao and Shin Min Daily News. A fifth apology appeared in The New Paper last Saturday.

" In all, they cost $33,372.06. A source close to Mr Poon said yesterday that the amount was paid by an anonymous donor who knew of the businessman’s financial difficulties " .
