CHC ,Timely reminder to other false prophets to shape up and work within rules/laws .
CHC , Ming Yi & NKF gave bad image of themselves to the public through their leaders who abused their authority because of greed and desire to have a jet set lifestyle. The punishments meted out for previous offenders may not be severe enough that facilitated more offenders to commit similar offences.
With CHC now in the headlines ,there is no doubt about it that there are hard evidence to convict the alledged offenders. This is certainly not the end of such offences , there are many who are still not caught .......just like the underaged prostitute's case involving 80 persons .......for all you know another 80 who had used her services were smarter and were not caught . Everyday , such offences are committed by various stratas of males who are out for some extra curricular activities but how many are exposed or caught ? So if you are lucky , you get away without the newsmedia shaming you . Can we be so sure that those reporting the cases in the newsmedia are also not into it? I will be surprised if they are as innocent ,without any excitement in their life.
In a similar vein , Peter Lim & Ng Boon Gay are no different from the above offenders , they are enjoying themselves like other CEOs , senior ranking officers , VIPs unfortunately they were caught .In the army , we have been taught , you can do anything you like but dont get caught !
Now that this is in the limelight , I hope those who are practitioners of 'illicit sex, CBT, corruption" etc will lie low and stop being too greedy or else they will end up in the same fate as above culprits. They must learn to stop when it is enough and NOT continue with their tricks like no tomorrow. Imagine if Durai & Ming Yi had lived humbly with their accumulated wealth , they would have been respected till they kick the bucket . Unfortunately , because of greed and smooth sailing in their modus operandi , they continued to enrich themselves and spend lavishly attracting so much attention that landed them in Changi Holiday Inn. But they are considered very very lucky with the short stay in Changi.
I am not sure how long Kong Hee will be staying there , if he is given the order . Since this recent spates of crimes surfacing , I hope the others who are in similar "profession" will take heed.
I know of a friend who attends a church in Marine Parade , also a very high profile church where the pastor , wife & daughter are being idolised . They dress up like superstars except not yet to the same music route like Sun Ho. This pastor Lawrence Kong is a Magician , he is like Dvid Copperfield or Houdini in status ...trying to be a real big star too. When he conducts magic shows , the congregation will "fully" support the tickets ...not cheap too ! He's also one who will dress to kill , so is his wife and daughter in super young outlandish leather ( 60 years old in age ),metal button attires. Being the Chief pastor ,he imagines himself to be same rank as "...." ,he will not meet the ordinary church goer during service instead one will see himon a large TV screen . His disciples , also known as Pastors will conduct service with smaller groups and in between they will have intervals for the attendees to pray for the Chief pastor & his family's safety /well being ? It is really quite strange that the worshippers consent to stop for a good 10 minutes just to pray for him & his family before they continue with the sermon.
I was shocked when he told me about this revelation , I will be very concerned if this religious leader is conducting himself in this manner. however, when he goes for official interviews , he and his family members are so decently dressed and they are completely different from their 'normal' days in church. It makes me think they are treating religion & their followers as their own possession , strangely enough these followers seem to be in a spell and are very obedient ,they never question themselves why they are still believing in this leadership.Week after week they donate their monies , the church is very wealthy too . Their style is similar to the CHC way of worship , rock concert to attract the young and innocent . I personally do not encourage rock music ,pop or outlandish dressing in a place of worship , especially a Church . The holiness and christian way of life should not gel with such activities tp preserve the good image of a holy abode.
Hope fully, all these will change for the better , church must be seen in the contemporary manner , traditional hymns will be the order and not POP , metallic music . Heard that another maverick is a Pastor Prince who has a church as big as CHC , someone told me he drives a car which is describe my some that look like a ship !I dont think such lifestyles will give a good image to the worshippers .Please do everything in moderation , too much monies will cause a person's downfall.
