[h=2]Dr Joseph Ong (Temasek Review) arrested for publishing polls during GE election 2011[/h]
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/man-linked-to-temasek-review-arrested--now-on-bail.html


Joseph Ong Chor Teck, linked to socio-political website Temasek Review Emeritus (TRE), was arrested last month for offences under the Parliamentary Elections Act.

A police spokesman told The Sunday Times he has been released on bail pending further investigations but said it was inappropriate to comment further as investigations are ongoing.

Ong was arrested on 3 September for conducting a general election exit poll on the TRE website, previously named Temasek Review, asking people to share how they voted, the paper reported.

It is illegal to publish opinion polls during an election and exit polls on Polling Day before results are announced.

Ong was previously reported to be the founder of TRE and its predecessor, The Wayang Party. TRE, which has been suspended since last month, is known for its articles critical of the government.

If found guilty, Ong can be fined up to $1,500 or jailed for a term not exceeding 12 months, or both.

Last October, Ong was warned by the police after a smear campaign against Member of Parliament Lee Bee Wah.​

PAP's secret illegal election poll

Round about cooling off day, we saw all sorts of rumors surfacing of mysterious bookies and mysterious data mining done by the PAP.

Now that the dust has settled, the truth is starting to emerge. During the elections, the PAP or a group related to the PAP secretly commissioned an illegal election poll. This was done by an Australian based polling company called UMR Research. You can see the topline findings of this poll here:

http://umrresearch.com.au/doc/Singap...ay11_Final.pdf

The data collection was from 3rd May to 5th May. The method of data collection is given as online interview. This is however almost certain to be incorrect since you cannot obtain a statistically random sample via online means in such a short period. As interviewers doing face to face would have been seen, the methodology was most likely via telephone interviews conducted from overseas (hence using an Australian polling company).

The total sample size of the poll was 522. This was stratified into sub samples of 52 each, meaning that they covered 10 GRCs/SMCs of interest. The Confidence Level is 90%.

On interest is slide 6 where the respondent was directly asked whether they would vote for PAP or the Opposition. At the overall aggregate level, the sample size is 522. The Confidence Level is approximately 96%. This incidentally is illegal.

Also of interest is slide 10. This shows the perception Singaporeans have of the various parties. WP is off the chart and coming very close to matching the PAP. The concerns about SPP surfaced as this study showed that it was the most popular among the other Opposition parties less WP. NSP was the surprise package. Their poll results in Marine Parade and Tampines were almost as good as WP. Their image according to this poll however puts them on par with SDP. Clearly there is something else happening which is not being captured in the poll.

This illegal election poll shows just how far the PAP will go to win. Just like the unfair handling of election complaints (Opposition disqualified for being 30 seconds late Vs No action against Tin Pei Ling for campaigning on Cooling Off day), it is unlikely the police will take any action even if a police report is made. If the PAP is not prepared to act fairly and ethically, then what are the chances that they will keep all those promises they made to win the elections?

The man who has been linked to the Temasek Review sociopolitical website was arrested last month for offences under the Parliamentary Elections Act.

Dr Joseph Ong Chor Teck has since been released on bail pending further investigations, said a police spokesman yesterday.

He confirmed the arrest in response to queries from The Sunday Times.

'It is inappropriate to comment further as investigations are ongoing,' he said.

The Sunday Times understands that Dr Ong was arrested on Sept 3 for conducting an exit poll during the general election on May 7.

The Temasek Review Facebook page had asked participants to share how they had voted.

Under the law, it is illegal to publish opinion polls during an election, and exit polls on Polling Day before the election results are declared.

If charged and found guilty, Dr Ong can be fined up to $1,500 or jailed for a term not exceeding 12 months, or both.

Dr Ong, a medical doctor by training, was last known to be a locum at several private clinics. Locums stand in for resident doctors during their absence.

He could not be reached by phone yesterday.

The Temasek Review website emerged several years ago and was known for running articles stridently critical of the Government.

It now uses the name Temasek Review Emeritus, but appears to have been suspended since last month.

A notice in Chinese says the site is down 'because its lease is up, it experienced too high a volume of traffic or contains illegal content'.

This is not Dr Ong's first brush with the law. He made headlines in October last year when he was warned by the police after a smear campaign against Member of Parliament Lee Bee Wah.

You are truly an imbecile despite following Singapore politics so closely.

1. It is not offence to do a poll during GE.

2. It only an offence to publish and exit Poll on polling day. It fine to do an exit poll just don't publish it.

I hope you know what an "exit" poll is. Common sense will tell you that many people including the press locally and foreign were doing polls before and during the GE. Some are known individuals who runs forums and blogs and their identity is known. Nothing happened to them.

Just toying with you. Noticed that you stopped giving wrong info for quite some time. Good for you.

Exit polls are banned even in some developed nations. It can be manipulated and the human mind loves to follow winners.
