Hong Kong pollster taken in again as part of national security probe

Robert Chung Ting-yiu, president of the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute, was escorted from his home to Wan Chai Police Station on Monday morning for questioning, the Post learned.

Chung was later seen leaving the police station at around 2.15pm.

On January 13, officers from the National Security Department took him in to help with the investigation linked to Chung Kim-wah, the institute’s former deputy executive director. Two staff members of the institute were also taken away.

On the same day, Chung Kim-wah said on social media that he had not had direct contact with Robert Chung since leaving Hong Kong.

Robert Chung last month said there were no longer any ties between Chung Kim-wah and the institute following the expiry of his contract in 2022.
