After calls by netizens for the police to investigate Pastor Rony Tan of Lighthouse church for his remarks against buddhism/taoism, the Internal Security Department (ISD) in a statement through the Ministry of Home Affairs, have spoken to Pastor Rony Tan and let him off with a warning.

But people from the church (or have attended some of their sermons) have said that Pastor Rony has made same remarks to other religions before. While there’s no substantianal proof out, SGFrag will not speculate on the authencity of that comment.

Lighthouse has been in the media limelight over the years, but not for the right reasons. An elder from the church, Mr Rodney Sim Hang Nge, a 61 year old accountant, was found guilty of paying for underaged sex and jailed in 2009.

AN ACCOUNTANT who twice paid to have sex with an underage prostitute from China was jailed for two weeks and fined $16,000 on Tuesday.

The sentence amounted to a victory of sorts for Rodney Sim Hang Nge, 61, who had testified that he did not know the girl was 16 when he had sex with her.

He could have been jailed up to seven years, or fined a maximum of $10,000 on each charge – or both – under a new law, which makes it a crime to have paid sex with a person under 18. The law took effect in February last year.

The father of two grown-up children, a daughter and a son, pleaded guilty last December to two counts of paying $100 to have sex with the girl on Aug 3 and 5 last year.

So while the case of Rony seems to be closed, we are reminded of the recent jailing of 3 youths who posted racist comments on the popular social networking site, Facebook.

3 kids, ignorant, perhaps unintentionally malicious, jailed with a criminal record, while a man (a messenger of God – according to the Christian faith) with over 12,000 followers not only manages to get his congregation to laugh at his comedic sketch to insult buddhism/taoism (as in the video), but also manages to get away with sedition.

To the blogosphere, is this social justice or just another case of justice not being blind?

ISD invites Pastor Rony to Lim Kopi, gets away with a warning but when digged deeper, something is fundamentally wrong
