SINGAPORE: A contest which offered residents a chance to win an iPad if they connect with a website set up to raise the profile of PAP candidates for the new Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency (GRC) has been suspended with immediate effect.

 

Residents were asked to name the five "familiar faces" seen on neesoon.org. The website is fronted by PAP's potential candidates for Nee Soon GRC in the coming General Election.

 

They are Patrick Tay, K Shanmugam, Lim Wee Kiak, Muhammad Faishal and Lee Bee Wah.

 

Channel NewsAsia broke the story about the marketing initiative on Tuesday.

 

The initiative has raised questions about whether it contravenes election rules.

 

A post on the site now says the contest is suspended since Parliament has been dissolved. The contest will resume on the same terms after the election.

 

Dr Lim had said the initiative is an "outreach programme" for residents to know what's happening in their ward and to get to know the candidates better.

 

He added it is simply a contest to get the public to visit the website and that the team is not giving out freebies to entice voters to vote for the party or candidates.

 

The Elections Department says the Parliamentary Elections Act comes into effect once the writ is issued, meaning political parties can campaign only after the nomination of candidates has closed.

 

The law though does not clearly spell out if this particular initiative constitutes Internet election advertising.
