He was ordained as a monk when he was 2 2 years old and has since been active in social welfare activities. In September 1994, Foo Hai Ch'an Monastery , under the leadership of Venerable Shi, established the 175-bedded Ren Ci Hospital for the poor and needy chronic patients. Since then, Venerable Shi is also the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the hospital. In 1996, the Singapore government awarded the Public Service Medal to Venerable Shi in recognition of his contributions to the country. In September 1998, the hospital established its affiliate, Ren Ci Day Care Centre for the Elderly. Venerable Shi is also its chairman. On 1 June 1999, the hospital expanded operations by taking over a 300-bed facility of the former Tan Tock Seng Hospital for the chronic sick and nursing home patients in Singapore. The hospital was renamed as Ren Ci Hospital &Medicare Centre. Two months later in August , Venerable Shi received his Masters in Healthcare Management from the University of Wales . He took up the course so that he could manage the hospital better. In the year 2000, a 200-bedded community hospital in the former Tan Tock Seng Hospital premises is expected to be in operation. The Venerable is also active in Buddhist circles overseas. In November 1998, he took over the abbotship of the Kun Chung Temple in Hong Kong as well as the vice-chairmanship of the affiliated Heung Hoi Ching Kok Lin Association. In September 1999, he also took over the abbotship of the Kwan Inn Temple in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Venerable Shi Ming Yi is also holding the following positions concurrently: # Chairman, Singapore Buddhist Federation Youth Organisation # President , Foo Hai Ch'an Buddhist Cultural and Welfare Association # Chairman, Yuhua Benevolence Society and Wan Qing Lodge Day Care Centre for the Elderly # Chairman, Marine Parade-Foo Hai Elderly Lodge # Chairman, Aspiration Student Care Centre # Chairman, Aspiration Childcare Centre # Vice President, Man Fut Tong Old People's Home # Board Member, Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association # Spiritual Advisor for National University of Singapore Buddhist Society Note: The Venerable has PhD in Philosophy from Mannin University (UK) You are listing out all the supposed credentials of a convicted criminal who is not more trusty worthy than a Ah Beng who goes around cheating and hiding the truths about all his wrong doings. By doing so, you are really making this forum is very bad place to be associated with and moreover, don't tell me about the phrase...'ppl do make mistake in their lives' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman888 Moderator July 25, 2013 Share July 25, 2013 (edited) obi goot! Business school owner in study loans scam jailed 34 months Published on Jul 25, 2013 A former business school owner, who cheated three banks as part of a study loan scam, was on Thursday, July 25, 2013, jailed for 34 months. Benny Yap Chee Mun (above), 42, remained expressionless during his sentencing in a District Court. -- ST PHOTO: LAU FOOK KONG By Ian Poh A former business school owner, who cheated three banks as part of a study loan scam, was on Thursday jailed for 34 months. Benny Yap Chee Mun, 42, remained expressionless during his sentencing in a District Court. He is appealing both his April 18 conviction and Thursday's sentence on 13 charges of cheating or helping to cheat the banks into lending $145,500 to people who were not students. Yap did this by providing the banks with letters of acceptance from Brookes Business School. These purportedly showed that the borrowers had secured places in his school which is now defunct. Together with 39-year-old education agent Ron Go Boon Chai, Yap took substantial cuts from the loans and passed the rest to the recipients who were Singaporeans or permanent residents. Yap's bail was also raised on Thursday from $600,000 to $700,000 because of the conviction. He still has 312 other charges against him, including offering dud degrees. A pre-trial conference has been set on Aug 13. Edited July 25, 2013 by Jman888 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santafe 1st Gear July 29, 2013 Share July 29, 2013 Wah...what is MOE and CASETRUST doing? I thought the least they could do was to call up the universities themselves to confirm if there is indeed such a tie-up? How difficult is that? Another case of "eyeball" inspection only? The last time someone did that, a rusty lamp-post fell and claimed a young life...sigh MOE? haha...you think its govt school? CASETRUST? haha....toothless tiger?

Myxilplix Turbocharged July 29, 2013 Share July 29, 2013 Aiyah, I think most people who have met/dealt with him in the past are not surprised by the news lah. Even during the old carpark rally days he would come around to borrow tools and we would keep a close eye and remember to take them back, or else *ahem*. During the OG rounding days of the 90s sometimes his wife will be with him, sometimes some other charbohs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
