Mr Lee’s cross-examination of Sharon on 18 Sep 2014
(Mr Lee is another lawyer representing Kong Hee)
Sharon Tan said that she was at the
Drew & Napier office premises on 3 June 2010. She saw that Pastor
Kong was working on the document.
She agreed with Mr Lee that Tan Ye
Peng, Serina Wee and Teo Meng How were present in the office because the
CAD was interviewing them.
Mr Lee: “Do you recall Pastor Kong ever informing you what was he working on, on that computer, on 3 June?”
Sharon: “Yes, I did, your Honour.”
Mr Lee: “Do you recall Pastor Kong
informing you that he was working on a document in consultation with
Jimmy Yim to be handed over to the authorities at that time?”
Sharon: “Yes, your Honour.”
Mr Lee: “Do you recall either yourself
or perhaps Serina Wee helping him with certain information that he
required whilst he came up with this document?”
Sharon: “Yes your Honour.”
Eng Han’s cross-examination of Sharon on 18 Sep 2014
Chew: “You also gave evidence that Pastor Kong told you that this (confession letter) was to be handed over to CAD?
Sharon: “Yes, your Honour.”
Chew: “Did he tell you the purpose for handling it over to CAD?”
Sharon: “Yes, he did, your Honour.”
Chew: “What was the purpose?”
Sharon: “That Jimmy Yim has advised him to take the rap for everyone, your Honour.”
Chew: “So did he mention the words that the letter would state that he would take the rap for everyone?”
Sharon: “I cannot recall this, your Honour. I mean I cannot recall if Pastor have mentioned to me.”
Chew: “You just said that Jimmy Yim has advised him to take the rap for everyone…”
Sharon: “Yes”
Chew: “So this is what you understood at that time?’
Sharon: “Yes”
Chew: “Which means, then Pastor Kong gave you the impression?”
Sharon: “Your Honour, I saw him writing
the confession letter, and we were helping him with some information
that he needed. And I had that understanding that he needed. And I had
that understanding that Jimmy Yim has asked him to take the rap for
everybody, your Honour. In my conversation with Jimmy Yim, he also
mentioned that they were out to get Pastor, not the rest of us. Your
Honour, I remember that comment made by Jimmy Yim.”
Chew: “Thank you. Did he show you the letter?”
Sharon: “Your Honour, I saw him
preparing the letter, and at certain point in time, I mean, I saw the
contents of the letter, your Honour.”
Chew: “Did you see the last section of the letter where there was a plea? Do you need to turn to it?”
Sharon: “Yes, I need”
Chew: “On the last page. Do you see the section My Plea?”
Sharon: “Yes, your Honour.”
Chew: “Was that shown to you?”
Sharon: “I cannot recall, your Honour.”
Chew: “So what did you see then was it all of the factual parts about the Crossover?”
Sharon: “Yes, your Honour.”
Chew: “Was anyone else shown the contents?”
Sharon: “The full content or ?”
Chew: “Or some of it”
Sharon: “Yes, your Honour”
Chew: “Ms Tan, at the time of this raid,
this was 3 June, did you think it was likely that the CAD will let all
of us go except Pastor Kong?”
Sharon: “Your Honour, at that point in
time, we were all just raided, and I don’t think I never go into such
deep thoughts at that time. I mean, we were all feeling a lot already,
so when Pastor wanted to take the rap, I think we were more sad than to
think about whether the rest of us will be let go.
Chew: “Would you agree at that time there was a fair chance that at least several of us would be implicated?”
Sharon: “Your Honour, can I ask Eng Han to clarify the question again?”
Chew: “What did you think would be the
chances that the CAD would just go for Pastor Kong and that all of us
would be stopped, there won’t be any more questioning for us?”
Sharon: “Your Honour, I am not a law enforcer. I can’t comment on that.”
Chew: “I just have on last question on this. Ms Tan you and I are co-accused.”
Sharon: “Yes, your Honour.”
Chew: “If you wanted to do a confession
letter for transactions which many of us are involved, wouldn’t you have
shown the content of that letter to us first, to make sure that we
don’t get wrongly implicated? Would you have done that?”
Sharon: “Your Honour, that is a hypothetical question.”
Chew: “Okay, it’s all right.”
