My head is exploding after watching this...... :siao:

So sad , I feel so sad why Asian make oneself so low graded...... :skeptical:

If it is my daughter , I will die of shame.... :stupid:

Did I give her the wrong education.....

Is very low class...no taste to talk about at all. Spirituality in this form can never satisfy me.

But who am I? Seems that many people are satisfied with this form of spirituality (or does it even qualifies?). Low class music....prosperity gospel....posh buildings...donate $$....proselytise...growth in number etc....

How about something nice for a change.

I remember when Harry Potter was first screened, a colleague went around the office passing our flyers urging all not to watch that show or read the books as it was satanic and it promotes satanic practices. He even went on to telling us that the author was the devil incarnate.

I remember some churches banning the books when they first came out.

Haha, urbandictionary is kind of like the wikipedia of dictionary, so the other meanings beside the 1st one are just made up by other people. I like Cheese and Crackers though, maybe for local context can change to Cheese and Prata.

\" The total sum of $50.6 million that the five conspired to cheat the church of makes the City Harvest case the biggest financial scandal involving a registered charity. It eclipses the $12 million that the National Kidney Foundation sued Mr T. T. Durai and three others for, and the $50,000 unauthorised loan Ren Ci hospital's Ming Yi was jailed for.

if found guilty, he could be jailed for life.\"

Prosecutors shed light on alleged misuse of church funds

\"Prosecutors shed light on the alleged misuse of City Harvest Church funds on Wednesday morning as it brought church founder Kong Hee and four senior church members to court on charges of criminal breach of trust and falsifying accounts.

They were said to have diverted $24 million of the church's building fund to finance the music career of singer Sun Ho, who is Kong's wife. This was said to have been carried out through a series of purported bond investments in two companies, Xtron Productions and PT The First National Glassware.

The prosecution believes that the investment were sham transactions. $13 million was diverted to Xtron, with the remaining $11 million of church funds going to the other company.

Deputy Public Prosecutors Christopher Ong and Grace Goh told a district court that not only had they allegedly diverted $24 million through questionable financial transactions, some of them had conspired to misappropriate another $26.6 million of church funds to avoid scrutiny.

'It is the Prosecution's case that these further monies were circulated... to create the false appearance that the purported sham bond investments had been redeemed, when in fact the 'redemption' had been financed using these further monies misappropriated from church funds,' they said.

Supporters shield Kong Hee and argue with media outside courts
