内安法的积极和消极 无奈的不得已



无奈的不得已,是积极还是消极。内安法保留至今,是消极做法还是有着积极意义。这真是无奈,又添不得已。

在《庄子》一书中,经常提到无奈和不得已。无奈不得已,就是顺着自然走,一切无为,该发生的事情,就会发生,想要阻也阻不来。因此,道家被认为是被动,消极,和具有不求进步的处事态度。真的是这样吗?

所以,内安法从道家的角度来看,是消极,有也可以,没有也可以,只是,在动用内安法时,如何用的适当,如何能够说服民心,如何说服人们真的有必要用内安法来稳定所谓的国家安全。如果,用的不自然,有目的性的,有企图心的动用内安法,那么,人民看在眼里,不说话,心里怎么想,那就很难说了,说不准,在投票时就会显现出来。

阻吓久了,报酬也递减了

当然,内安法也有积极意义。它可以阻吓不听话的人,不喜欢的人,用莫须有的罪名强加在这些人身上,但是,这种不自然的做法,做久了,效力也差了,一直阻吓,一直动用,久而久之,人民就会认为这是专门用来对付不喜欢的人,反而,产生反效果。

因此,内安法在政治上(不是恐怖主义上)可以说是可有可无。即是积极也是消极,行动党留着它拿来作为政治目的,实在是又是无奈,又是不得已。尤其是在行动党的保守派,仍然没有完全退出我国的政治舞台的时候,这个内安法的情和意,一时之间很难说分手就分手。

行动党的鸡肋

行动党政府,最后一次大规模的动用内安法,应该是1987年,当时对付的对象,已经从50,60 年代主要以华校生为主的对象,转为英校生和天主教教徒。

但是,其效果已经大不如前。就连行动党内部,都有人认为不妥当。

要在今天的新加坡,动用内安法来逮捕“异议份子”,在国内和国外,都很难站住脚。除非,把这些人说成是恐怖份子。但是,这些人,实在是左看右看都不像恐怖分子,而更像是反对党,和持不同意见的人。

这种情形,也发生在纳吉身上。因为,纳吉已经很难说服马来西亚人民,他逮捕的“异议人士”是为害国家的恐怖分子,继续逮捕不同意见的人,不同政见的人,就只能失掉更多选票。因此,他才有这个想法,收回内安法,以其他法令来对付恐怖份子。

行动党再看纳吉的下场

行动党也不是省油的灯,为何要跟着马来西亚的做法,先看看纳吉的下场如何, 再做决定。新马的政治,有时也会互相对照的,今年年初,砂拉越州选举,纳吉胜得有惊无险。接着新加坡的大选和总统选举,行动党的得票下落。纳吉看在心里,不得不做出一些改变,不然,国阵选票再度下滑,纳吉自己连首相宝座也将会失去。

行动党在新加坡两次选举后,将会陆续做出一些改变。纳吉当然要做出更大的改变,因为,他的国阵在国会里没有三分之二的优势。这种情形,处理的不好,江山就会断送掉。行动党的情形就好的多了,难怪,内政部的声明,仍然认为新加坡有必要保留内安法。

不过,不论行动党,还是巫统,党内的保守势力依然是一股不容忽视的力量,马来西亚是否真能废掉内安法,以及其他不合理的法令,保守势力的最终点头,将会有决定性的结果。

何况,我们还有一点搞不清楚,纳吉到底是保守派呢?还是改革派呢?同样的,我们的李显龙总理,到底是保守派呢?还是改革派呢?还是温和派?两位资政在大选后,退出内阁,并不表示行动党内的保守派已经消失,或许,还在死灰复燃呢!

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...
