Shi Ming Yi
Résumé
Venerable Shi Ming Yi (Chinese: 释明义; birth name Goh Kah Heng; born 1962) is a Singaporean Buddhist monk and the abbot of Foo Hai Ch'an Monastery.
Shi Ming Yi received his Masters in Healthcare Management from the University of Wales.
It was reported that the venerable claimed to hold a PhD in Philosophy that was awarded by "Mannin University" in Ireland, a university whose existence could not be verified. Ming Yi's spokesman commented that the research degree was undertaken through distance learning and that the monk never visited the university.
In September 1994, Foo Hai Ch'an Monastery, under the leadership of Ming Yi, established the 175-bed Ren Ci Hospital and Medicare Centre for chronically ill patients among the poor and needy.
In 1996, the Singapore government awarded the Public Service Medal to Ming Yi in recognition of his contributions to the country.
Shi Ming Yi took over the abbotship of the Kun Chung Temple in Hong Kong, the Kwan Inn Temple in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, and the vice-chairmanship of the affiliated Heung Hoi Ching Kok Lin Association.
On 7 October 2009, Shi Ming Yi was convicted of four charges of conspiracy, misuse of funds and forgery and sentenced to 10 months in jail, reduced on appeal to 6 months. The Public Service Medal awarded in 1996 was then removed by the President of Singapore, S R Nathan, subsequent to Shi Ming Yi's conviction and imprisonment for conspiracy, misuse of funds and forgery with effect from 23 May 2011.
In November 2007, Ren Ci Hospital was investigated by the Commissioner of Charities. Shi Ming Yi was alleged to have made interest-free loans in violation of Ren Ci's own guidelines on Financial Management and Controls and Disclosure and Transparency, and had also served as both Board chairman and CEO of the hospital which was an infringement of existing guidelines since it creates a potential conflict of interest and a lack of check and balances.
In the course of the investigations by the auditing firm Ernst & Young, a few financial transactions could not be satisfactorily explained.
