City Harvest trial: Former fund manager points finger at other accused
By Ian Poh And Hoe Pei Shan
SINGAPORE - City Harvest Church's former fund manager on Monday told the court that if any funds had been misused as alleged, the blame lay with other church leaders who had discretion over how the money was spent.
Referring to several exhibits including e-mails and mobile text messages, Chew Eng Han, in his first day on the stand, sought to show that church founding pastor Kong Hee, deputy senior pastor Tan Ye Peng, and former finance manager Serina Wee were the key decision makers of the allocation of money.
As the trial entered its 89th day, the 54-year-old Chew, who is conducting his own defence, claimed he had been responsible for the structuring of the financial instrument, and not the usage of the proceeds.
"A bond cannot be a sham... a bond is a bond…(and) only becomes a sham if the proceeds of the bond have been misused," he told the court.
