    MOH/HPB are reckless and irresponsible healthcare organisations.

    Because they promote cheating and gambling amongst Singaporeans.
    Cheating to achieve steps count:

    Gambling because lucky draws are a main reward mechanism of their 'health' programme, and many of the prizes are not health motivated at all:
    This one reeks of harm to the environment, prodigious consumption (business class air tickets) etc. But the worst is that it stimulates the citizen's urge to gamble. The unpredictability of gambling, is also inconsistent with promoting health and would probably lead to high eventual drop out rates because people who didn't win will soon develope aversion to the program and associate health with just a flamboyant carnival scene: e.g. that investment in health is just like casino gambling, and most people are poorer the longer they spend gambling in the casino. The need to stay healthy becomes associated with the desire of a good holiday, which in itself is a mirage since only one participant wins.

    And the worst part is that if we used the fire services as comparison, MOH would be the most RECKLESS damage control organization around because it's approach to problems would be in fire fighting rather than fire prevention.
    They only start to wake up when the fire is totally out of control:

    “If you look around, our investments in health promotion and diseases prevention, I think... it is actually significantly lower than the amount of money we spend on treating diseases,” he (Minister Gan Kim Yong) said.
    : Due to a lack of "holistic approach towards health promotion, taking into account how can we empower consumers so that they make the right choice" Empower consumers with holistic approach to healthcare: Gan Kim Yong To address the challenges of non-communicable diseases, Singapore needs to move upstream and find ways to keep the population healthy, said Health Minister Gan Kim Yong at the Ministerial Meeting on Universal Health Coverage TODAY (11 Feb 2015).http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/empower-consumers-holistic-approach-healthcare-gan-kim-yong
