Mr Ace Kindredzen Cheong wrote to The Straits Times asking for SG50 fun packs to be distributed to overseas Singaporeans to demonstrate that they have not been forgotten by the country ("Will S'pore Families Overseas Get SG50 Fun Packs?", 4 Aug 2015).
If Mr Cheong examines the contents of the fun packs, he will quickly conclude that there is hardly anything inside that is worth the effort of either sending them overseas or collecting them. Many resident households don't bother to collect them, even when the People's Association and its grassroots organisations bring the fun packs to convenient collection points in the neighbourhood.
Much resources have already been wasted on sourcing, making, assembling and distributing the 1.25 million fun packs to resident households.
It is a pointless exercise.
Let's not waste any more resources sending and distributing them to overseas citizens and permanent residents.
