Religious men corrupted by fame and wealth

These men claiming to be messengers of God or some divine force are only getting more wayward. A man who claims to be a messenger of God refuses to pay maternity benefits to a staff who was sacked because of her extra-marital affair. But yet, Lawrence Khong of FCBC employs her daughter, Priscilla Khong, a single mother, as a pastor of the same church. Why the double standard?

And while the clerical staff is deprived of her measly $7000 in salary and maternity benefits, Lawrence Khong struts around his designer clothes and strokes his 4 ponies stabled at the Singapore Polo Club.

Till today, the clerical staff whose baby will turn 1 year-old this November, has not received a single cent from FCBC who claims to be doing this to maintain their "moral and spiritual authority". What sort of moral authority sacks a pregnant woman and withhold money that is due to them?

While some are decked out in the latest fashion, others prefer to don their religious robes thinking that they can be above the law. The so-called Venerable Meow Di, who is said to be a disciple of the famed monk, Hong Chuan, is actually just a middle man for a casino deal! Businessman Chua Kwee Sin, who looks like an underworld boss btw, is suing the monk after giving the monk more than $1mil for an investment in a casino venture in Cambodia that never happened.

Appearing in the court dressed in his robe, he only reminds us for another famous monk gone wayward, Ming Yi, who keeps a stable of his male personal assistants and loans them money frivolously.
