Ming Yi laugh heahhahaahahhas as he walks out of the prison

[†††††]

CONVICTED Buddhist monk Shi Ming Yi walked out of the Subordinate Courts a free man on Thursday morning.

At about 9.15am in court 18, the founder and former chief executive of Ren Ci hospital had all six remaining charges against him withdrawn.

The charges include forgery for the purpose of cheating, providing the Commissioner of Charities with misleading information and the misappropriation of Ren Ci's funds.

The Venerable Ming Yi turned up in court, dressed in his customary saffron robes, accompanied by his lawyer from Rajah & Tann, Mr Adrian Wong.

The pair smiled and chatted as they sat waiting for court proceedings to start.

In a brief few minutes, the judge granted the monk a discharge amounting to an acquittal for the six remaining charges that were pressed against him in 2008.

The founder of Ren Ci Hospital, Ming Yi, was released from Selerang Park Community Supervision Centre yesterday after serving about 3 months of his jail term under Home Detention Scheme whereby at least for the next one month, he will have to wear an electronic monitoring device around his ankle and must observe a curfew.

According to the Singapore Prison Service, Ming Yi, 48, whose real name is Goh Kah Heng, was placed on the Home Detention Scheme “as he met the criteria and was assessed to be suitable”.

This scheme allows eligible offenders of non-serious crimes to serve the tail-end of their sentences at home but would have had to meet certain criteria including a minimum imprisonment sentence of four weeks, good conduct in prison and strong family support, said a spokeswoman.

A spokesman from Ren Ci Hospital and Medicare Centre told MediaCorp that there are no plans for him to rejoin Ren Ci or its board.

Last October, the Buddhist monk and his former aide, Raymond Yeung, were found guilty on charges that included falsifying accounts and misappropriating funds, after an unauthorised loan of $50,000 was made from the charity’s coffers in 2004.

In May this year, Ming Yi’s 10-month sentence was reduced to six months following an appeal.

If the believers (who were deeply hurt by his past actions) can forgive him why can't normal folks like you and me.

No matter what religion - they must practise what they believe in.
