Church’s lease deal ‘didn’t make sense’, court told

CITY Harvest Church’s S$46.3mil (RM120.3mil) eight-year rental lease agreement with music production firm Xtron puzzled the church’s auditor, who said it “didn’t make sense”.

Under the contract, signed in October 2009, Xtron would have to procure a location to be leased to the church for worship. At the time, its lease of Singapore Expo was to expire on Sept 30, 2011.
