[SINGAPORE] The founder of City Harvest Church, Kong Hee, took to the stand yesterday in his own defence, saying that he trusted and always sought professional advice from the church's former lawyer and auditor before making any decisions.

Kong, along with five deputies, are facing allegations that they misused millions of the church's building fund monies to boost the music career of singer Sun Ho.

Ms Ho, who was not present in court as she has been listed as a defence witness, is Kong's wife.
