I have an impt meeting to attend. When the agenda came out, I saw the date, I knew the date looked familiar. sekali it's the date that the five CHC members return to court. sigh. I wonder if there will be a big crowd though. It's not very big in the courtroom. only a few rows of benches nia. many will have to stand outside and wait. I bet many seats will be choop by reporters at an early hour, followed by the followers.
most ppl will be at work mah... i wonder who are those ppl who are going to support him. -

cannot play play...
he still have a zealous army of followers... If this group of ppl riot or anything, then it's going to be extremely problematic, becoz such things when religion are involved, it's very sensitive...
I'm sure u all have seen how zealous his fanatics can be... Some already reached the stage of total oblivion to anything but him...

wonder if the govt scared or not? I will be surprised if they are not lor.

So... the festival of praise was cancelled because people wanna show their support to con instead of celebrating in holy presence... Shows so much on who is the more popular one. Fearless of making people jealous...

The festival of praise apparently was intended to worship God. Now they cancel that so they can worship KH?

why should they stop the festival of praise just because KH is in trouble. The whole religion is supposed to worship god... not KH. Carrying on with the festival should set a better tone rather than cancelling it right....

Pastor tried to cheat on three-quarter tank rule
He tampered with fuel gauge; gets two weeks' jail for lying to officer
By SELINA LUM
A CHURCH pastor tried to drive to Malaysia with about a quarter tank of fuel in his car, breaching the three-quarter tank rule for vehicles leaving Singapore.
The car's fuel indicator, however, showed he had a three- quarter tank of petrol.
When questioned by an immigration officer, Steven Yang Suan Piau, 47, twice maintained that the indicator was correct and that the fuel gauge had not been tampered with.
But a check of his car showed otherwise.
The pastor with Eternal Life Baptist Church in Kim Keat Road was sentenced to two weeks' jail after he pleaded guilty to giving false information under the Customs Act.
Another charge of failing to comply with the three-quarter tank rule was taken into consideration.
He is appealing against the sentence and is out on $15,000 bail until the appeal hearing.
Yesterday, Senior District Judge See Kee Oon's written explanation of the grounds for the sentence was published.
In it, he noted that two weeks' jail was the sentencing norm and there were no exceptional reasons to warrant a non-custodial sentence for Yang.
The incident happened around midnight on Jan 3 when the pastor was at the Woodlands Checkpoint.
As the car was being given the routine fuel gauge check by officers of the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority, Yang was asked about the accuracy of the fuel indicator.
He said it was correct and had not been tampered with but an officer found a remote control inside the car's coin compartment.
When the officer pressed the remote control, the indicator moved down to its actual level, below the one-quarter mark.
Yang's lawyer Peter Ong, pleading with the court not to send him to jail, said he was a person of good character and contributed actively to the community with volunteer work.
Mr Ong said Yang was aware of the three-quarter tank rule but committed the offence in a moment of indiscretion, panic and confusion.
But Judge See said Yang was asked twice about the fuel gauge. "He chose not to come clean but to perpetuate his subterfuge."
The judge added that Yang's work and contributions to the community were not relevant mitigating factors.
"Indeed, it could be said that he ought to have been even more conscious than most of the need to admit to his transgressions instead of lying twice to attempt to avoid the consequences."
The penalty for giving false information under the Customs Act is a fine of up to $5,000 or a jail term of up to a year, or both.

He should have been more conscientious.
