CHC Trial

Prosecution accuses Kong Hee and team of proceeding with $13m of Xtron bonds when projections of low music album sales meant that church would only recoup its investment in 10 years; Kong justifies that revised sales projection figures later on delivered a much more positive outlook.

康希透露另一名被告人周为一名陷入困境的教会会友，以及他的角色是负责拟定债券结构。

Kong Hee revealed co-defendant Chew’s position as a member of the church who had fallen upon bad times, and his role as the one structuring the Xtron bonds.

Accused had approached “long-time friend and personal advisor” Foong Daw Ching to obtain “genuine advice”; prosecution alleges that the true motive was to “test out things” to avoid any issues in year-end audit.

庭讯延续——检方继续提出康希完全操控思创之论点。

Court resumes with the prosecution continuing to suggest Kong Hee fully controlled Xtron.

康希表示，他对思创薪金和人力政策给予意见是出于对前员工的关心；他们离开“稳定的安乐窝”，到新成立的思创工作。

Court hears that Kong Hee’s input into Xtron’s salary and manpower policies was out of concern for former staff who had left the “comfort of a stable nest” to work in the start-up Xtron.

法官裁定周英汉在慈善总监录制的口供不可用在康希的交叉质询上。跨界团队遵从审计师建议，在通知会友思创事宜时不需“描述全貌”。
