Singhealth is under a "State sponsor attack" - which has IT resources multiple time of Singapore.

Thus there is a need to pool all the best IT brain available - whether it is R&D, service providers, local enterprises, foreign enterprises, vendors, SMEs, etc that have the expertise to provide ideas, suggest solutions to prevent future attack.

The 1st white hacker attack is on Mindef web front network - not part of Government web-front network.

Health sector is part of Government network - which will undergo this stress test.

But Singhealth and other hospital network is not part of Government network (they are privately run) - they are a separate network from the Government network - run by their internal IT dept.
Thus, Singhealth and hospital network - will not undergo this hacking stress test.
