In mid-2025, a series of Reddit threads and online posts began circulating allegations against Hun Ming Kwang and his community initiatives — particularly focusing on ThisConnect.today, a ground-up social movement he founded. These accusations include claims of emotional manipulation, financial coercion, and unethical conduct within his workshops and programmes.
These public narratives have sparked confusion and concern, prompting Hun Ming Kwang to issue an official response to address the matter directly, transparently, and factually.
In his statement, Hun Ming Kwang expresses deep concern over the spread of unverified allegations, many of which were made without first-hand experience, due diligence, or direct consultation with him or his team.
“It is both for myself and the community members I work with that I am writing this.”
He reaffirms that ThisConnect was never structured as a business. It is a volunteer-led, non-profit social movement dedicated to emotional literacy, self-awareness, and mindfulness, with no paid programmes or courses offered under its name.
“We do not offer courses or programmes. Nor do we discriminate against anyone… We have always clearly defined the boundary between ThisConnect and all other personal engagements.”
Hun Ming Kwang draws a clear distinction between:
His work in business (where paid personal development programmes exist), and
His public service and volunteer work through ThisConnect.
He states:
“Business is strictly business. Public service is public service. Certain lines have to be kept separate and that is something I adhere to.”
He reaffirms that his paid clients, including high-profile individuals and corporate leaders, choose to work with him voluntarily and pay for the value they perceive. No participant is ever forced, coerced, or manipulated into making financial commitments.
Hun Ming Kwang details specific instances involving two individuals connected to the original Reddit allegations:
One had requested partial payments, later defaulted on payments, and allegedly spread falsehoods.
Another allegedly made defamatory statements while ignoring the principles taught in his programmes.
Both individuals, he asserts, had previously requested personal favours outside paid training and were later invited into the ThisConnect community in a volunteer capacity.
“We are presently taking legal actions against these two individuals for their breach of agreements.”
He strongly denies claims that his volunteers or community members “prey” on vulnerable people or use manipulative tactics, describing such narratives as damaging, paranoid, and unfounded.
Hun Ming Kwang warns against conflating his multiple roles — coach, artist, founder, public speaker — into a singular, distorted narrative. He criticises the toxic culture of public shaming without verification or dialogue.
“To insinuate ThisConnect as a cult… without cross-checking facts or attending any of our events is a classic example of toxic cancel culture.”
He highlights the diverse, reputable nature of his community, which includes government officials, lawyers, medical professionals, and business leaders who have participated in events and offered positive feedback.
Hun Ming Kwang closes his statement by standing firm in his principles and calling for discernment, critical thinking, and respectful dialogue.
“My integrities and values are clean. ThisConnect is clean.”
He encourages those with concerns to seek clarity directly and respectfully, rather than contribute to hearsay and assumptions. He points out that when facts are taken out of context, even truth can be misconstrued.
