I've let many people down
By Yen Feng

He urged members not to circulate recordings of past sermons which might prove objectionable too. -- ST PHOTO: CAROLINE CHIA

AFTER apologising twice for remarks that upset Buddhists and Taoists and landed him into trouble with the Internal Security Department, Senior Pastor Rony Tan expressed remorse once more - this time, to his church members.

Making his first public appearance since news of his brush with the authorities broke on Feb 9, he revealed that the episode left him feeling so 'unbearably terrible' that he had contemplated leaving Singapore.

The founder and senior pastor of Lighthouse Evangelism, an independent Christian megachurch with 12,000 members, said he regretted about what had happened and added: 'I've let many people down.'

He said the church was going through its online archives to remove 'all possible offensive recorded material' that might offend non-Christians, and he urged members not to circulate recordings of past sermons which might prove objectionable too.

He also appealed to church members not to defend or justify his actions to others, saying: 'A wrong is a wrong and must be rectified, not justified.'

Pastor Tan, who has not responded to several requests to be interviewed, read from a prepared text when he addressed the weekly church service in Woodlands on Saturday.

Shameless asshole. Funny how he didn't apologize BEFORE kopi with ISD, but suddenly very apologetic AFTER the kopi session. :oIo:

No wonder we have heard so many stories about young people started smashing up ancestral tablets placed on family altars of many homes after being proselytized.

Their preachings should be audited by the relevant authorities from time to time.
