This is the man charged with having obscene films: Pang Leong Chuan was charged along with Rev Ming Yi. Pang faces six charges of possessing 138 uncertified and obscene films.

THE name Pang Leong Chuan did not ring a bell for Ren Ci chairman Chua Thian Poh. No, Pang was never hired at the charity, he told reporters yesterday. But Dr Ong Seh Hong, Ren Ci's acting chief executive, set him right: Yes, Pang had been an employee, but only for 'a short while'. Pang, 27, was the personal assistant to Buddhist monk Ming Yi, the charity's former chief executive.

He was charged along with Ming Yi and two others on Tuesday, although initially the charges against him seemed unlinked to Ren Ci. Pang faces six charges of possessing 138 uncertified and obscene films. Police seized most of the films from an apartment at The Cornwall, an upmarket condominium off Holland Road.

Pang and Ming Yi were believed to have stayed at the flat occasionally. Residents said they had seen the monk and two men returning there at night. The rest of the films were found at Pang's Tampines address.
