SINGAPORE: Singapore’s government and police have warned the city’s mega-church City Harvest Church from attempting to raise funds from worshipers in order to fund legal cases against their top officials.
Singapore’s Commissioner of Charities (COC) said it has issued a warning to City Harvest Church over its employees’ efforts to raise funds to pay the legal fees of the church’s leaders facing criminal charges for corruption and embezzlement.
“The Commissioner of Charities (COC) office had earlier issued a Restriction Order to the Board of City Harvest Church (CHC) to restrict CHC from paying the legal fees of the six accused persons and entering into transactions relating to payment of services to the suspended individuals and their related entities, without the approval of the COC,” it said in a statement.
