一个结束 一个延续 另一股声音

任务尚未完成，反对党和博客仍需努力

泰卦 否极泰来 决战2011 新加坡大选 另一股声音

<泰卦 否极泰来>在2011年二月开始发放博文以来，到现在已经是第95篇了。这个专门为大选而开设的博客，已经存在了三个多月了。原本以为，新加坡大选会在5月前举行，那里知道竟然拖到5月7日。即是说，原本以为发表几十篇博文后，大选就结束了。

从第一篇《不要再有诸子百家的遗憾》开始，否极泰来就是希望通过博文，表达一些行动党以外的声音。因此，博文的全名称为‘泰卦 否极泰来 决战2011 新加坡大选 另一股声音’。

取名‘泰卦 否极泰来’是希望反对党能够胜出，取得突破，在大选中有好的成绩。并且，促使新加坡出现两或多党制的可能。‘否极’表示反对党的坏运已经到了尽头，而‘泰来’则表示反对党的好运开始出现了。大选的结果也的确好像有这个味道。

在发表了一个月和十几篇博文后，开始发现反对党的‘否极泰来’不可能在这次大选中，完全显现出来。因此，除了2011upandcoming.blogspot.com这个网址外，另外再开设多一个网址pijitailai.blogspot.com来延续‘否极泰来’的精神。因为，2011 up and coming 只能是一个开始，要延续否极泰来，2011这个年是一定要过去的。因此，pijitailai这个网址会更加有意义，更能显现反对党开花结果的日子是在下来的一，两届或更后的大选，而不是今年的大选。

2011年的新加坡大选，真的只是一个开始，对反对党来说，似乎是‘革命尚未成功，同志仍需努力’。如果只是停留在2011年美梦中，那么，不只好运的‘泰来’不来，而坏运的‘否极’可能就会降临。

或许，对有些反对党来说的确如此。2011年大选过后，对一些声望低，士气低的反对党来说，他们的命运很可能随着2011大选的过去而成为过去。这有点像台湾，经过20多年的民主洗礼后，小的政党已经被边缘化了。老牌民主国家，如英国，美国的现状，小党也难成气候。

否极泰来也有着同样的感概‘革命尚未成功，同志仍需努力’，决战2011的新加坡大选已经结束。但是，另一股声音却要延续下去。博文需要一直发表下去，才能为新加坡反对党尽一点棉力。但是，真的有这么多好像大选时的评论，观点可以发表吗？

未来的路漫漫，离下次大选还有一段相当长的时间，谁也不能肯定另一把声音要以那种更加适合的角色出现。否极泰来只能顺其自然，依正道配合反对党的演出。

这篇短文就作为2011upandcoming.blogspot.com网址的最后一篇。谢谢读者的支持，请继续阅读pijitailai.blogsport.com.

A yet to complete journey

2011 Up and Coming is basically a Chinese blog created for the sole purpose of providing alternative views. However, it also posts some English articles, especially after GE2011.  

The Chinese name for ‘2011 Up and Coming’ in fact is Pijitailai which means：
 
When misfortune reaches the limit, good fortune is at hand.  Out of the depth of misfortune comes bliss.

‘2011 Up and Coming’ in some ways reflects and provides a meaning that the Oppositions after more than 50 years of misfortune, 2011 is their turning point and good fortune will arrive.   GE2011 shows some indications but the impact is too small to have a 2-party or multi-party parliament in Singapore.

This is why after one month of the birth of ‘2011 Up and Coming’, a decision is made to create another blog ‘Piji Tailai’ to show the continuation of the up and coming spirit beyond 2011.

The real Piji Tailai will only come 1 or 2 or perhaps even more general elections.  Where there is a will, there is a way.  Piji Tailai will like to continue this yet to complete journey for the alternative views.

This will be the last posting in 2011 Up and Coming and Piji Tailai will continue the baton with a more balance posting in both Chinese and English.

Thank you.

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 ...

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 i...

Is Prism Project Another Central Planning of the PAP?

There are 3 scenarios under the Prism Project#1 of Institute of Public Policy.  However, it looks more like the central scenario planning of the People’s Action Party. From the instructional menu of Prism Project Primer #2, participants were guided to a situation in 2022 and they have to imagine, within the Primer framework, to come out with 3 possible scenarios in Jun-Aug 2012.  2022. What a coincidence! Not long ago, PM Lee declared that he would like to hold the prime minister post for another 10 years. The other coincidence is the similarity between the 3 scenarios and the candidates of PE2011. How competitive and sustainable are the 3 scenarios to the people of Singapore and to the PAP?   Will the scenarios produce competitive and sustainable Singapore, Singaporeans or the PAP?  Perhaps, as what the Chinese say: planning cannot always catch up with changes.   And planning sometimes turns out the wrong, bad and unexpected results, espec...
