Gahmen should redesign the area around Sub Courts.

The Walk of Shame with all those steps is not conducive for paparazzi doing their work. Someone could fall and get hurt!

Yakuza not much better imo.... all just want to act like they are heros and pretend to have some samurai-spirit-crap only, but are still organized criminals who commit violent crime against society.

5/6 hired big gun ... dun play play
potentially another $5,000,000 expenses out of CHC coffer?

Legal fees may exceed $1m each


By Jennani Durai
THE court case involving six key members of City Harvest Church is shaping up to be one of the most costly in recent history, with each accused likely to foot a $1 million bill for top legal help.
Five of the six accused have hired Senior Counsels while senior pastor Kong Hee is represented by Mr Edwin Tong, who is also a Member of Parliament for Moulmein-Kallang GRC.
There are 41 Senior Counsels - the local equivalent of British Queen's Counsels, who are regarded as the elite in the profession - here.
A Senior Counsel, who declined to be named, said most lawyers of this stature charge between $1,000 and $1,300 an hour.
This means that 10 days in court could incur fees from half a million to a million dollars.
While clients may ask for a fee cap, he added that most lawyers would be reluctant to give one as they do not know how much work will go into the case.
Another senior lawyer said: 'If complex issues or a lot of documents are involved - as I presume they are in this case - the cost could even be twice as much.'
Criminal lawyer Josephus Tan said rates could differ depending on lawyer and law firm.
'In big-firm culture, more often than not, it's an hourly billing system, but this may or may not apply to criminal cases, which are usually priced on a lump-sum basis.'

Honestly, with a pay of even $20,000 a month, you would need 4-5 years of annual income (assume no tax and CPF) to be able to foot the bill. Unless they have rich parents or love gift from the well wishers... It really makes you wonder how they can afford that.

Or maybe the MP/SCs did it for free?
 
Re: CAD arrests 5 City Harvest Church members

I cant help but watched the video a couple of times, and u know wat, it really freaks me out! It reminds of the Mao's red army cultural revolution where all the youths were so brainwashed n indoctrinated that their world is nothing but their supreme Demi-God leader. And not forgetting the beloved leader of North Korea whereby a systematic n planned national education has erected him to be the saviour of their sad plight!

Christianity is bigger then Kong Hee, bigger than CHC.

God Bless!
