We came across this series of whistleblowing pictures which reveals that Mr Tan Thiam Lye, President of Taoist Federation had used the pretext of cultural exchange to invite a group of Thai nationals to Singapore for illegal short term employment at Sheng Hong Lor Koo Chye Temple in 2019. (Please refer to the attached pictures).
In the letter, an itinerary was even planned out. However, it was understood that the visits such as to Loyang Tua Pek Kong never even happened. A further check with sources to the organizers revealed that this had been happening for a few years prior to this fb posting and some of the EP and SP holders working for the organizers had also falsely declared their actual income and they had to return the money on the week of their pay day.
As a registered charity and a national body of a major faith in Singapore, it’s appalling that such discrepancies and abuse of power can happen even when they are supposed to subject to high standards of transparency and accountability.
There are a few more pictures showing the names and one picture in particular showed the aftermath of his involvement in incense paper burning which by no means would happen to a guest of a proper cultural exchange program.
This last picture shows the same team of people came again during the Nine emperors festival and are this time deployed to Hougang Dou Mu temple.
Lets urge the relevant authorities to look into these allegations as if found to be true, it can be detrimental to the legal standards set in place. It was understood that former key employees would have more information of the misdoings if further probe is being investigated.
Once again, an MOM report was filed but there were no replies from authorities. Tan had gone around telling people that he knows someone in MOM whom can help him settle the issue of being investigated. This was even said during their regular board meeting.
