SINGAPORE: City Harvest Church finance manager Sharon Tan cried on Wednesday (Sep 17), her fourth day on the stand.
She
was being questioned by her lawyer, Senior Counsel Kannan Ramesh, about
one of her statements, when the tears flowed. It was not known what
caused her to cry, and the trial was adjourned soon after.
In
today's session, the Court was shown a statement Tan gave to the
Commercial Affairs Department in 2010. In it, she said there were plans
for the church to pay production house Xtron a fee of S$56 million for
eight years of "advance rental" valued at S$7 million a year.
However,
Tan today clarified that the amount was S$46 million, not S$56 million.
This was because Xtron had earlier indicated it would give the church a
"discount".
Xtron was started by three church members, to own and
manage future buildings the church could use consistently for its
growing congregation.
Tan's lawyer had questioned her about the
statement to confirm it was consistent with her testimony over the past
four days. She replied that it was.
The trial continues on Thursday (Sep 18).
