This was what she reported:
"One of Singapore's longest-running criminal trials, which spanned some 140 days, has finally come to a close. The six City Harvest Church leaders convicted of misusing millions of dollars of church funds was sentenced by a district court just a short while ago and some of them are just leaving court now."
"As you can see, right behind me, church founder and senior pastor Kong Hee is leaving the district court. You can see, you know, quite a number of reporters surrounding him trying to hear from him what he has to say following the sentencing."
"Let's take a look at that for now."
And now let's take a look at traditional prison garb:
