Man makes police report against alleged flouting of elections advertising rules with PAP-related materials

Report was lodged on on 29 May.


An individual by the name of Teng Yong Ping Daryl announced on his Facebook that he has lodged a police report on the alleged flouting of elections advertising rules involving materials depicting People’s Action Party (PAP) candidates.

This was done presumably in response to the Elections Department (ELD) making a police report against socio-political site The Independent Singapore, ex-ISA detainee Teo Soh Lung and blogger Roy Ngerng for allegedly flouting “Cooling Off Day” rules on political reporting during the recent Bukit Batok by-election.

ELD making police reports on election rules violation

Teng said this in his Facebook post, “The Elections Department isn’t the only one who can make police reports. Seeing that the ELD only seems to make reports against online media and opposition supporters, yesterday I made a police report about possible breaches of election advertising rules by the PAP.”

The Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) also called on the ELD to be fair in its implementation of the cooling-off day rules, noting that the PAP politicians had previously violated the cooling off day rules.

Previously, a Facebook post by Minister Vivian Balakrishnan during Cooling Off Day in the last General Election (GE) raised eyebrows. The Minister clarified that the post was the result of a “bug” and he has asked Facebook to investigate the matter.

The police then confirmed that reports were lodged and they were looking into the matter, however, it was unclear whether it was ELD which made the police report in the first place.

Two alleged breaches

Teng pointed to two incidents which he said were breaches – putting up of flyers as posters in Chong Pang market and hawker centre during the GE2015 period and a banner featuring then PAP-candidate for Bukit Batok Murali Pillai being put up on a town council banner rack in April 2016 during the Bukit Batok by-elections.

Chong Pang flyers

Teng is contesting that the flyers in Chong Pang, which were put up in September 2015 on three hawker stalls and on pillars, breached elections advertising rules as they did not bear the official stamp from the Returning Officer.

Here are photographs supplied by Teng:











Teng also wrote to ELD claiming that after speaking to hawkers, the hawkers told him that the flyers were put up by the a “merchants’ association.”

He said the ELD did not reply his email – shown below:


Bukit Batok banner

The second claim of a breach was related to this banner:



Teng noted that The Online Citizen wrote a report about this banner being put up on a “banner rack of the Resident Committee (RC) Zone 6 at Blk 168 Bukit Batok West Ave 8” and questioned what the rules regarding the use of “RC facilities for partisan purposes” are.

TOC noted that the banner was subsequently taken down and Teng said that TOC informed him that the banner rack belonged to the town council.

Teng wrote another email to ELD asking them to verify if this was a breach of elections advertising and whether ELD would investigate this issue. ELD replied Teng with an email which Teng described as a “non-reply.” The email exchange is below:

Teng’s Facebook post is below:


In case you cannot see the post, here is what he said:

The Elections Department isn’t the only one who can make police reports.
Seeing that the ELD only seems to make reports against online media and opposition supporters, yesterday I made a police report about possible breaches of election advertising rules by the PAP.

You can see pictures of the police report as well as all accompanying evidence below.
I reported two instances of potential breaches, one during the Bukit Batok by-election and one during the General Election last year.

You might ask why I am reporting these breaches only now, several months after the General Election. W
