NEIGHBOURS said she gave birth to her third child last month.

And while she was recuperating in her three-storey house in the east, her name was mentioned in several media reports as news broke that five people had been arrested and charged in the City Harvest Church (CHC) court case.

Serina Wee Gek Yin (above), 35, the former finance chief of CHC, was charged in court yesterday with six counts of being involved in a conspiracy to commit criminal breach of trust by an agent.

The charges involve more than $50 million in all.

Of the money, $24 million was allegedly siphoned off towards purported sham bond investments to fund the music career of Ms Ho Yeow Sun, the wife of the church founder, Kong Hee.

It is believed that $26.6 million was then used to cover up this sum.

Wee is also accused of four counts of being involved in a conspiracy to commit falsification of accounts.
