[quote]With the exception of church founder Kong Hee, who is represented by Member of Parliament Edwin Tong, the five church members allegedly involved in the conspiracy have engaged Senior Counsels to be part of their legal team in court...
The case had been adjourned to Aug 30 for a pre-trial conference.

Davinder Singh, also an MP, is one of the top lawyer. Even more "top" than Edwin Tong.

concern2:

?? :scratchhead: Somewhat complicated to my simple mind...Will someone please enlighten me - Is there any conflict of interest here? An agency from gov against a person who is represented by a member of Parliament?

Edwin Tong is representing KH in private capacity as his lawyer.
No conflict with his MP role.

Hmm... She's the mastermind... Or the scapegoat? :?
Or ex-CHC?[/quote]In all probability still with CHC, though no longer as finance director.
Implicated since she was d finance chief of CHC when d alleged shenanigans occurred.
Also set-up or hv directorships in companies with links to CHC.

All five accused engaged SC.

It’s not cheap with court appearances.
Who is footing d bills? CHC?

Who is footing the bill? Taxpayers’ money for the government prosecutors, of course!

Anyone has idea about the price to hire a SC for a court case?
