On April 29, The New Paper alerted the Elections Department that
it had upload scanned forms containing the personal information of
several candidates contesting in this year's elections.
At about 3pm on the same day, the website with all the forms was
taken down.
The forms included the NRIC number of Health Minister Khaw Boon
Wan, and the NRIC and handphone numbers of Aljunied candidate Ong
Ye Kung from the People's Action Party (PAP). The handphone numbers
of opposition candidates such as the Singapore Democratic Party's
(SDP) Vincent Wijeysingha and Dr James Gomez were also made
public.
The page has since been restored, and the edited forms uploaded,
with the NRIC and all handphone numbers removed.
More in The New Paper today (May 9).
