Ex-board member: I gave inaccurate evidence

[SINGAPORE] In what was perhaps one of the more highly anticipated moments of this long-running trial, former City Harvest Church (CHC) member Chew Eng Han - representing himself for the first time since the resumption of the hearing - grilled his former fellow church-goer and board member John Lam, who was on the stand.

Among other things, Chew - who has no legal training - had Lam admit that he had given inaccurate evidence at an earlier stage of the trial.

The pair are among the six accused of having "dishonestly misappropriated" some $24 million of CHC's Building Fund to finance Sun Ho's music career and then "round-tripping" another $26.6 million to cover the alleged misappropriation. The others on trial are Ms Ho's husband, senior pastor and co-founder Kong Hee, deputy senior pastor Tan Ye Peng, finance manager Sharon Tan and former finance manager and board member Serina Wee.
