Dear All,
Last evening, was call-upon to attend an urgent International Conference Call made by a few of Overseas Taoist Organisations.
Upon arriving at the Conference Area, I was told that, these few Overseas Taoist Organisations decided to arrange for this urgent Conference Call, after getting Complain-made against one of our Local Taoist Organisation.
The details of the Complain goes like that:
1) Abusing the Authority, (as one of the Taoist Organisation) to force the Members to take part in certain events (may in Entertainment/Shows/Performance/etc) that do not have direct association with the promoting of Taoist Culture
2) Conducting events and forced Members to contribute funds to the Organisation
3) Forced Members to join-in, in-order to get enough support from the Public and among Members
4) Forced Members to agree on Boycotting other Local Taoist Groups and Important Taoist People from promoting the Taoist Culture
5) Using the name of Taoism to make business with other Unauthorised Taoist Groups inside and outside of Singapore
6) Using the name of Taoism to persuade/force Public to make contributions to the Organisation
7) Using donations and contribution made by the Public for Charity to invest in other Projects that Up-bring the name of the Members inside the Committee, which resulted in neglecting the need of the poor and needy
8) Using bribes (& other in-direct bribe-actions) to strengthen the Power of Members in the Committee
For the moment, the Overseas Taoist Organisations are making serious-investigation against this Organisation.
Within the next 2 Weeks, these Overseas Taoist Organisations will be in Singapore. During their stay, they will be going around to do researches (investigation) on this issue.
If you (or your Temple/Group) known about any details, you are encourage to speak-up when these Overseas Taoist Organisations approach you.
Please do something for our Local Taoism, your contribution of the details will assist our Local Taoist Culture to have a Brighter Future.
Million Thanks.
PS: Sorry for the delaying for this Email, cos needed the approval before releasing out the Mail.
Do They investigate on household sintua and temple? Or just only those major Taoism Organisations?
ReplyDeleteThis one I'm not quite sure, just be prepared if anything will to happen.
ReplyDeleteCooperate together to work towards a better tomorrow.
Thank Jave For Ur Reply. So this here their 1st stops? or they been to other country already? What Action will they take if any organisation found mislead or respolit the name of Taoism?
ReplyDeleteSingapore will be the main country for the investigation. As for what action, I'm not quite sure, cos I'm not in the Investigation Group.
ReplyDeleteBut from previous case, usually the name of the Organisation will be announced to the whole World's Taoist Groups and also, the wrongs that the Organisation had done.
Jave, thank alot for tell.. Hope to get more update from u when time go by...
ReplyDeleteI will.
ReplyDeleteReally happy to see alot of people and Taoists showing concern on this issue.
From all the replies I got, I'm sure our Local Taoist Society is really very shaky and somehow not Upright.
Lucky that recent Years, our Government had been doing alot of following-up and controling, if not, I'm sure that our Taoism will had gone with the Wind few years back.
