以直报怨?以德报怨?还是报应?

以直报怨?以德报怨?还是报应

佛家说,善有善报,恶有恶报;不是不报,时辰未到

行动党很可能做梦也没有想到,推出一个年轻的新候选人,竟然在网际网络上造成轰动。行动党一向都能控制媒体,要刊登什么,主流媒体就照办。万万没有想到网际网络上却不是如此一个玩法。因为,能发表意见的人太多了,想要制止的唯一方法,就是把网际网络关掉。但是,这么做影响深远,对新加坡的国际形象不好。真是风水轮流转,网民们以其人之道,还治其人之身,在网际网络上把行动党修理得够惨的了。

行动党新候选人陈佩玲最近成了网上红人。早报报道,虽然年仅27,但陈佩玲并不觉得自己太嫩,反而认为这是她的本钱,自认有朝气和潜力,能为新加坡作出更大的贡献。。但是, 网上传的不是她的精力、青春和积极的心态,而是有关她私生活,她的照片,她的丈夫,她的(前任男)朋友,等等的故事。针对这件事,她自己也说:被别人攻击是不可避免的,这也是社交媒体的特点之一。人们可以有疑问,但我希望我能有机会证明自己有能力为选民服务,做好自己的工作。

到底是以直报怨还是以德报怨。这出自两位大哲学家。以德报怨来自老子。老子之言出於《道德經》,老子:「大小多少(指仇恨),報怨以德。」

以直报怨还则来自孔子。孔子之言則出於《論語》,有人問孔子:「以德報怨,何如?」孔子回答說:「何以報德?以直報怨,以德報德。」

老子叫你放下仇恨,人家对你不好,不要怨怨相报,还之以德。孔子则不是这样,人家对你不好,你要正面正直的面对(反击),人家对你好,你就对人家更好。

想想看,我们可没有老子的胸怀。新加坡是所谓的奉行儒家教条的国家,李资政更把孔子的人身塑像放在办公室里,看来我们是选择以直报怨了。李资政做事的原则,和对付反对他意见的人,所奉行的标准就是以直报怨。因此,今天,网际网络的流言蜚语也是这种写照的反映。

有些博客挺身而出,为陈佩玲抱不平,说我们的选举不应该做出这样低级,下流的评论,不应该做人身攻击。事实上,新加坡选民大多数都是希望有个干净的选举气氛,冷静的看看反对党,行动党的竞选宣言。但是,每一届的大选,都会出现抹黑反对党的新闻。试问,网民不该这么做,难道主流媒体就可以这么做吗? 这不是另一个只许州官放火,不许百姓点灯吗?只许主流媒体抹黑,不让网际网络出现行动党候选人的负面新闻吗?

回头想一想,我们的主流媒体,不是一有机会就捉住反对党人的缺点,弱点,丑态,大作文章。有时还替政府说话,以政府的立场来批评反对党人。还记得,萧添寿,邓亮洪,JBJ,徐顺全,主流媒体不是加油加酱的大事报道吗?主流媒体如果逮住了反对党候选人的痛脚,会不会正如一些有良知的博客一样, 只字不提。还记得谢镜丰吗?主流媒体不是也报了他的私照吗?不久前,还说他爬到桌子上,大喊大叫吗?

将心比心,这也不过是以其人之道,还治其人之身。你对人家怎样,人家也回报你。主流媒体对反对党人的伤害,可以说是更深更大。因为,在新加坡看报纸的人, 还是比看网际网络的人多。


以前因为没有网际网络,没有管道让网民可以宣泄内心的不满,现在有了这个平台,因此,就出现这种你来我往互相攻击的现象。谁是谁非,真是有理说不清。这是不是佛家说的报应,做坏事是会有报应的,只是迟或早的问题。或许,现在是时候了,以前没有网际网络这个平台,现在有了,还是年轻人的爱好。所以,才可以传的这么快,传的内容这么多。

怨怨相报何时了?期待,主流媒体不再抹黑反对党,而网民也无需借助或利用行动党的弱点加以攻击。

Sub-standard PAP and the Singapore education system

I make a 'policy shift' when I hear the debate of right politics, constructive politics and sub-standard opposition. My original aim is to discuss about “Su Dongbo, Zhang Juzheng and Singapore education system”. The discussion will end with a sub-standard PAP, in particular from the assessment of the quality of PAP potential candidates. Another policy shift is to discuss it like a play, a drama and make it more entertainment rather than a sub-standard political discussion. Act 1 Gangster’s demand Imagine a sense in the Hong Kong's gangster movie (or a godfather movie), the gangsters' master is shouting at his poor opponent and demand him to give a price for his wrong act. The poor guy without any resources can only offer his body or his service to work for the master. Back in his own chamber, the master is still not satisfied and continues to shout 'don't play, play, you think you are hero, you think you are tiger, or superstar or acting

After 60 years, after 3 failed political imaginations, the PAP is deteriorating...

EBRC objectives: Stop “Out of Aljunied”, Stop SDP Breakthrough and “Negative-Asset” Ministers.

First of all, we have to congratulate the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee for creating more competitions, especially, multi-cornered competitions in the East. When making changes, EBRC aims to achieve 3 goals: To prevent “Out of Aljunied” for Workers’ Party.  This is the most important objective. To prevent Singapore Democratic Party making any breakthrough in the North and Central.   To look for a solution to retire “negative-asset” ministers or reduce PAP damages. From the reported claims from different political parties, we will expect multi-cornered contests not only in single constituencies but also in group representative constituencies. The PAP hopes to have a repeat of 2011 Presidential Election. Then Tony Tan won the Presidency when he got only 35% of the votes, a narrow win.However, a win is still a win. He did in even in the very last minute, after recounts of votes.    How to achieve multi-cornered contests? By inserting a single c
