Posted: 15 July 2008 1108 hrsSINGAPORE: Head of Ren Ci Hospital, the Venerable Shi Ming Yi has been charged in court for alleged forgery, conspiracy and misuse of funds.
Venerable Ming Yi, who was also former Ren Ci Chairman, was slapped with 10 charges Tuesday morning.
The monk faces four charges under the Penal Code involving two counts of alleged criminal breach of trust.
He also faces one count of alleged forgery for the purpose of cheating and one count of abetment for allegedly falsifying accounts.
He also faces six charges under the Charities Act for allegedly providing false information.
Two of his associates Raymong Yeung and Phua Seow Hua were also alleged to have gone into conspiracy with the Venerable and were also charged in court Tuesday.
Separately, a volunteer from Ren Ci was charged with allegedly possessing some 70 copies of obscene film.
Venerable Ming Yi, also known as Goh Kah Heng, is out on S$200, 000 bail.
The case will be heard in court on August 4.
Venerable Ming Yi has been on leave for five months before his arrest on Monday night.
He had been under probe by the Commercial Affairs Department.
The Commercial Affairs Department was called in after auditors engaged by the Health Ministry highlighted possible irregularities in some of the charity's financial transactions.
The Ministry of Health had said that several transactions, which involved several million dollars, could not be satisfactorily explained.
Ren Ci and 11 other large Institutions of a Public Character were subject to the Health Ministry's general review in July 2006.
Ren Ci is believed to be the third largest health charity in Singapore after the National Kidney Foundation and SingHealth Endowment Fund.
The Commissioner of Charities has suspended Venerable Ming Yi from his office as Chief Executive Officer of Ren Ci Hospital & Medicare Centre with immediate effect.
He will also be suspended from his executive positions in five other charities: Foo Hai Ch'an Monastery, Foo Hai Ch'an Buddhist Cultural and Welfare Association, Singapore Buddhist Free Clinic and The Singapore Regional Centre of the World Fellowship of Buddhists, and the
Katho Temple.
He remains the religious leader of the Foo Hai Ch'an Monastery.http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/360407/1/.html

Shame on him.
On behalf of all ex- RIs, f him,go 2 hell now!!!!
Are you against the Reverend personally oris it you detest his religion?
Or
are you just like that speaking like a little young boy?
I agree with Monoslayer that a person, regardless of Race , Language or Religion ,
is Innocent until Proven Guilty.
I also kept an open mind when Kang was charged last time. Of course, its now in history books that he is Guilty as charged.

I dun know if i shld believe he is guilty..perhaps he is being a scapegoat?
Seriously, given his previous acts during those charity shows...I dun believe a greedy person can do tat...so, yeah, I agree he is innocent unless proven guilty.
I jus hope he really really aint one of those kind..or else really lose hope liaoz..

Thus the most important is to have check and balance.
There is nothing surer than have a third party to check on each other. We cant be sure a person is not corrupt or abusing funds, even if he loudly proclaims to be clean or played an important role in building Ren Ci.
If you are clean why be afraid of third party checks?
