LAST Friday's article, "Suntec shares not held by church
itself", referred to church member Simon Teoh's two wishes: that
the Commissioner of Charities would ask for the confidentiality
clauses to be rescinded and that City Harvest Church would amend
its Constitution so major business deals can be put to a vote among
ordinary church members.
Mr Teoh's suggestions are impractical.
By rescinding its non-disclosure agreement, the church would be
putting the entire Suntec deal at risk.
As for the suggestion to put major business deals to vote by
ordinary members, surely he is not proposing that all 33,000
members should vote on every single major deal?
