John Sung And His Sibu Tour

 From a publication of the '' Recovered Diaries of John Sung'', I learnt things that made me more convinced than ever that the so-called dramatic, dynamic and sensational preachers are more sensational than realistic . It must be mentioned here that Dr.Sung had been confined in a mental hospital for nearly a year and it clearly showed that he was not in the right mind. Although he had got PH D in chemistry and was offered a good pay job in an university but he chose to be a devoted preacher with very little remuneration. Although he said he was doing the right thing in the eyes of the heavenly father yet I think it not right to neglect his duties as a husband and father to 4 kids. I feel it tragic that his wife was left alone with four kids and with very little financial support as his pay was almost nothing. This was the reason why his two children died of poverty and sickness. Furthermore in his diaries he described his sermons had been very successful based on the number of repentants and converts. The so-called converts etc were very superficial and unreliable as at the heat of the moment, many came out to repent and kneel before him to let him pray for them but it did not mean they were really converts. As for the people claimed to be cured by him just by praying, it was more sensational and could not actually stand the test of time . How was it possible for him to cure so many people just by praying and touching the heads? If it was true then the hospitals would be out of jobs and the doctors unwanted. Even Dr. Sii Sii Chew of Sibu at that time challenged him and asked him to get the cured persons to claim a reward of RM500 if they were really cured by his praying and clearly the Doctor Sii did not get any claim from any patient at all. In his diaries, he did mention some people committing sins such as adultery, gambling, drinking or alcoholic etc but the way he pin-pointed his greatest opponent Dr.Sii as having a sinful relationship with his own sister was highly vengeful and smacking of wilful retaliation and this is most undesirable in the case of a great preacher! To be fair to all parties, we would therefore give the benefit of doubt on this scandal to Dr.Sii unless there is any evidence or truth in the allegation.
