Following investigations on its fund-raising activities, Crisis Centre (Singapore) president Dennis Lee Wen Da has been prohibited from conducting any fund-raising appeals, while the welfare organisation itself has also been restricted in this aspect.
The centre had been suspended from conducting all fund-raising appeals since Aug 15 last year as investigations into its fund-raising activities found “serious concerns about the charity’s governance, record-keeping practices and ability to be accountable to its donors”.
The last day of its suspension is Tuesday (June 30).
The Commissioner of Charities (COC), Dr Ang Hak Seng, said in a statement on Tuesday that investigations have shown that Mr Lee did not properly administer the four fund-raising appeals by Crisis Centre, which he was in charge of.
Mr Lee had also failed to ensure proper accountability over the funds received.
The COC has barred Mr Lee from conducting any fund-raising appeals – including any under other charities – from July 1.
Crisis Centre is also restricted from conducting any fund-raising appeals until it meets three conditions.
