SIX City Harvest Church (CHC) leaders accused of embezzling more than $50 million from their parish had a request to push back the start of their trial denied yesterday.
The highly anticipated hearing will go ahead as planned on May 15 and be presided over by Senior District Judge See Kee Onn.
At yesterday's pre-trial conference, District Judge Victor Yeo turned down the defence lawyers' request, having considered that the prosecution registered a strong objection to another delay.
Both sides declined to comment on why the defence had applied for the postponement.
