Church founder Kong Hee and his wife, singer Sun Ho
The founder of one of Singapore's richest churches has been charged for misuse of church funds.
Pastor Kong Hee is accused of appropriating up to S$24m ($18.8, £12m) to fund the singing career of his wife, Ho Yeow Sun (also known as Sun Ho).
He faces a lengthy jail term if found guilty, local media reported.
Four other executives of the City Harvest Church have also been charged, following a two-year investigation.
The five, who were arrested on Tuesday, have been offered bail of S$500,000 each. Their passports have also been impounded and they have been suspended from their duties.
Mr Kong and church board member John Lam Leng Hung face three charges of criminal breach of trust.
