行动党担忧未来,我们又如何面对未来?

  
行动党今年的大选口号是【共创未来】,陈庆炎总统选举的口号也配合演出,叫着【迎接未来】,看来行动党是很担忧未来,国内外政治经济局势的发展,的确令行动党不得不担心。

那么,行动党的未来会不会是个梦?我们又将如何面对自己的未来呢?

国际政治,经济局势都不好,怎么办?

国际经济局势不好,美国,欧洲,日本纷纷出现问题,我们的淡马锡,政府投资公司在这些地方的投资,会不会泡汤?这些投资,短期内,不会出现转机,长期呢?真是天晓得?10年后的美元和欧元,币值如何,谁也说不上。但是,有些投资,不能长期放在那里,政府为公积金而发的债券,是要还的,不然,公积金会员怎么养老?

不只如此,生活费,通膨也会上涨,就业机会也难搞。难怪,政府已经发出风声,如果,经济局势不好,或许,又要动用储备了。政府没有钱,可以动储备的脑筋,一般市民怎么办?不是,每个人都有一个富爸爸的,大多数的人都没有,那怎么办呢?

国际政治局势,也不好,反风仍然在吹,人民力量以不同的形式在各国出现。恐怖主义依然威胁着世界,美国这个老大,也独木难支,无能为力,做起事来,也是有心无力。

国内的政治局势,也对行动党不利。两场选举过后,行动党已经失去了往日的光辉,就连总统候选人,也尽量要和行动党分隔开来,纷纷要做独立人士。行动党怎么沦落到变成票房毒药。雪上加霜的是,行动党还要面对分裂的风险。

政治,经济两失利的心理准备

行动党面对的未来是一个在政治和经济上的双重失利局面。曾几何时,行动党一党独大的政治势力,会面临如此这般的大压力。在经济上,要继续维持高经济成长,也同样面临巨大的挑战。

行动党要如何面对,党和国分家的未来。在心理上,是否有所准备,国人呢?是否也准备好面对一个强权政治,强势经济即将消失的未来。

强权政治和强势经济已经让国人透不过气来了。我国的强权政治已经不能,也不可能在强下去了。强势经济也不可能继续再一路强下去。这已经不是单靠进口人力,就能解决经济问题的时候了。

有必要活得那么压抑吗?

为何,不试一试提高人文素质,提高生活素质,为何要活得那么压抑呢?

每个国家,每个家庭到了最高峰,也会走下坡的。走下坡的强权政治和强势经济,如果能够让生活素质补上,让人文素质进一步完善,又如何可以说是一种退步呢?

好像,澳洲,纽西兰,和欧洲好多国家,20, 30年前人均收入都在新加坡之上,今天,我们的人均收入已经高出他们许多,但是,我们在生活素质,人文素质上高过他们吗?新一代的国人,是否也要和前辈过着一样的生活,是否有一个自己的选择呢?

过渡时期的心理准备

但是,从强权政治和强势经济过渡到生活素质,人文素质的提升,对习惯领高薪,权力大,不妥协,不理民情的行动党和它的支持者来说,在心理上,可能很难调整过来。对很多新加坡人来说,尤其是习惯了行动党的步伐步调的国人,也很可能一时适应不了。

这个过渡时期,到底有多长?这不是,我们可以决定的事。天时地利人和,国际的经济政治局势的发展,说快可以很快,欧美经济继续下滑,房产股市继续下滑,再强的经济也会面对困境,尤其是新加坡靠的是欧美的经济走势。

国内大选虽然还要能等多5年,但是,民怨,诉求,是不可能停息下来的。这不是政治分裂导致国家分裂,而是,行动党如何脱胎换骨,迎合群从要求。行动党要如何接受政治的现实,面对一党独大的即将结束。

新加坡人,行动党,都要面对未来的政治经济局势的改变。这个改变已经开始了,强权政治,强势经济的时代也开始改变了,没落了。

我们的心理,也要做出相应的改变。早作准备,居安思危,对大家都有好处。行动党要调整心态,国人也要面对这种改变,而调整本身的心态,共创未来,迎接未来。

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...
