The Intefrity Movement on CNN

Dr. Simmons from the Intefrity Centre of Hong Kong was interviewed last July 4, 2009 on CNN by Wolf Blitzer.  Together with Dr. Syed Tuan Razak Yobitor (founder of the Intefrity Movement), Dr. Simmons gathered a number of Intefrity Movement followers and opened the Intefrity Centre of Hong Kong on November 12, 2008.  The Centre is situated in a quiet alley in Lan Kwai Fong - just north of Hollywood Rd.  Unfortunately, the facilities are currently under renovation due to vandalism by non-Intefrity followers.  Dr. Simmons was called on for an interview to discuss the Intefrity Movement as well as the recent generous monetary donation from the Hong Kong centre to the relief efforts in the Taiwanese typhoon calamity.  Dr. Simmons talked about the history of the Intefrity Movement as well as an invitation to the public to seek inner peace through whatever means they prefer.  Dr. Simmons did not invite CNN viewers to join the Intefrity Movement.  However, he invited all to search for whatever means suits an individual to reach inner peace.

The Intefrity Movement is based on the quest for Yobitorian Inner Peace as started by Dr. Syed T.R. Yobitor.  You may find more information about the Intefrity Movement on this website as well as at the Global Conference on Intefrity in Incheon, S. Korea in November 2010.
