SINGAPORE - City Harvest Church (CHC) members had overwhelmingly supported co-founder Ho Yeow Sun's music career as a way to evangelise, and external lawyers had found nothing wrong with various allegedly suspect financial transactions.
That was the defence put up by lawyers yesterday for six church leaders accused of the misuse of church funds.
The state believes the money was channelled into Ms Ho's career in 2007 and 2008 through sham bonds issued by two companies run by church members, glassware manufacturer Firna and music firm Xtron Productions, which managed her career from 2003 to 2008.
But defence lawyers said that church members had long supported Ms Ho's music ambitions as a way to evangelise and voted to approve it in board meetings.
