Comments by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs Mr Teo Chee Hean on charges filed against 5 individuals from the City Harvest Church (CHC)

Police has earlier sent a press statement on CAD investigations into persons for criminal breach of trust and false accounting. Below are Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affair’s comments on the case:

I would like to stress that the charges filed by CAD are against 5 individuals from the City Harvest Church (CHC) regarding the use of Church funds. They are not filed against CHC itself. The CHC is free to continue its church services and activities.
CAD carries out investigations when it receives information that a criminal offence may have been committed. CAD had previously investigated the National Kidney Foundation and Ren Ci.
As the matter is now before the courts, we should let the law take its course and avoid speculation or making pre-judgements that may unnecessarily stir up emotions.
