Singapore: SportsSG/ ActiveSG is promoting sedentary lifestyle in Singaporeans now?


(Originally a forum post at https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/threads/activesg-credits-cannot-extend-liao.6669145/ )

This Sports/activeSG habit of threatening to annually expire the credits is most self defeating and stupid.


Why expire if stingy govt is not topping up with new credits? Means what, the message that if u don't exercise in 2022, then forget about, quit exercising from 2023 onwards?


Health Minister Ong YK should really give those silly activeSG directors (probably braindead, retarded ex- SAF scholars)  a good dressing down; citizen health isn't same as being punctual at cookhouse or receiving military conscript handouts; and even SAF emart credits are topped up regularly and be carried forward one cycle/year.


Yeah, maybe gahmen is now bankrupt, spent too much in healthcare, so perhaps active SG originally budgeted for every year top up, so those unused credits might expire each year, just before the new credits are allocated, just like $100 CDC vouchers, with expiry date- or the original activeSG policy design officer has since retired and important parts of the policy have been now omitted/ left out.


The solution to not exercising is to encourage people to exercise more, not confiscate their activeSG credits.


Then people will have even more serious sedentary lifestyle conditions like obesity, diabetes and hypertension.


Then Minister Ong Ye Kung will be scratching his head (till bald), why Singaporeans are so inactive, when it is activeSG that encouraged them to be inactive (by answering their inactivity dreams of having the activeSG credits expire in the first place).


Due to ActiveSG shooting themselves in the foot or dropping the ball, Singaporeans are encouraged to adopt sedentary lifestyles henceforth.
