sphgss gimmick

the sph great singapore sale shop and win challenge is a gimmick. went down today on behalf of my father because he's overseas. he received an sms "congrats, you've been selected for sph gss shop and win challenge. 20 prices including subaru impreza car, tour, fridge, notebook, cameras, cash."

when i went down today, there were about 200 other people who received the same message. so much for thinking i was one of the 20 people who would be getting the prizes. and later after queuing for a very long time (the queue went all the way outside of suntec), when i presented my dad's ic and letter to show i was coming on behalf of him, they said he had to come down personally and a letter and ic don't count.

why couldn't they just choose the winners and get them to come down to collect the prizes instead of making so many people travel all the way when they would not even be going home with anything? it's so inconvenient, poorly organised and not thought through at all. i can't even think of any reason why they would want so many people there, especially during the flu period when we should be avoiding large crowds.
