Servants of the Lord - Twice the judgement

When servants of the Lord committed a crime, they are judged doubly hard as they are role models, leaders of lost sheep. But who needs to be more White? PAP MP or a Leader of a Church? Fulfilling expectations of others.

Former Maris Stella principal found guilty of embezzling $67k

Anthony Tan Kim Hock appeared at the subordinate court for his verdict on misappropriating $ 67,000 in school funds. …

Former principal of Maris Stella High School (MSHS) Anthony Tan Kim Hock, 66, was found guilty on Wednesday of misappropriating $ 67,679 in school funds.

Tan had been charged with embezzling the funds from MSHS’s Chapel Building Fund between 27 March and 10 September of 2009.

The verdict was handed down by district judge Soh Tze Bian, who had heard that the former school principal had misappropriated the said amount of money for expenses related to construction works at the Champagnat House, a private home for the Marist Brothers, which is a religious congregation Tan belonged to.

Tan will be sentenced on 28 June of this year after both the defense attorney and the prosecution file their sentencing submissions on 31 May.

In May 2011, Tan was charged with 21 counts of embezzling funds totaling about S$ 150,000 between May 2004 and September 2009, but 20 counts had been stood down as applied by the prosecution.

Psalm 19:13 Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression.

John 8:34 Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin."
