Not for love of money, but of Humanity. "Greater is he who works for the good of all, then he who works for the good of himself only" ~ Matthew 25:40: "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'"- (NIV). I live in Singapore where the Emperor must not be disturbed.

We need to take a 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', TODAY, 11 Feb,2015]

The consequence of lifestyle/ preventive healthcare lapse: dire statistics:
"Singapore has the second-highest proportion of diabetics among developed nations, a new report by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) revealed...10.53 per cent of people in Singapore...Only the United States fared worse..."['Singapore 'has 2nd-highest proportion of diabetics''; ST, 2nd Dec2015]

LTA gives S$15,450,617 COE hongbao bonanza to rich elite this CNY.

If this amount squandered on the rich were to be multiplied by 24 COE bidding exercises per annum, I estimate that the PAP gahmen would have easily 'squandered' S$370,814,808 p.a. in all. Instead of spending 2 precious hours squabbling over 1 petty NCMP seat, ought not parliament discuss how the catB COE pricing system should be tweaked so that gahmen revenue will not be spilled/ lost?
