不要把内安法当成一门生意来做




从所周知,行动党是把新加坡当成一门生意来经营的。因此,在内安法的废除问题上,行动党也是采取这个态度,它没有说不废除,只是说现在还不是时候,仍然有存在的价值,我国仍然需要内安法这张纸老虎。

对行动党政府来说内安法是无奈,不得已,同时也是鸡肋。的确如此,行动党知道内安法已经靠不住了,但是,有一张纸老虎皮,随时要穿上吓吓人民,还是有一定用处的。只要它是一个法令,政府就可以灵活的诠释,利用内安法来维护本身的利益。这当然包括打击对手,妨碍反对党的势力增长。

行动党仍然是庄家,垄断市场

况且,现在,行动党仍然是庄家,发牌,出招,占有国会的绝对优势,做起事来还是很方便。并且,一直在嘴上说它在全国有60%的支持票,仍然是大多数人的选择。所以,对于一个习惯垄断生意的人,一时之间,要想叫他接受竞争,挑战,改变生意手法,不是一件这么容易的事。要想告诉消费者,垄断是不好的,垄断会抬高物价,一般消费者一时之间,还不能明白过来。况且,一般消费者,没有身受其害,还认为垄断是应该的。

因此,行动党才认为在五月大选中输掉一个集选区,不是个灾难,同时,也不必为此而讨好人民。这也意味着,在行动党的治理下,新加坡接下来将不会出现一个一味迎合民众要求的民粹主义政府。


市场力量,人民力量

但是,任何的机关算尽了,任何的垄断手法用尽了,到头来,吃亏还是自己。在生意场上,在股市,不是有一种力量叫着‘市场力量’吗?不然,政府投资公司,淡马锡控股怎么会把国库储备输掉,连账目也不让你看清楚呢?

既然在国际市场上,吃了亏,知道市场力量的威力,没有像新加坡一样的垄断条件,行动党政府就无能为力,国外的投资,真是无奈,不得已,又是鸡肋,看着UBS, Citibank, 还有好多的海外投资,不知何时回本。现在,只能说这是长期投资了。

虽然如此,在国外斗不过人,不要紧,只要在国内利用垄断地位,稳住外汇储备,依然还是可以利用人民的钱,再战国际市场。反正,内有内安法压阵,一时之间,也没有人敢跨越内安法一步,以身犯法。所以,这在算盘中,叫做‘买时间’,慢慢来,不得已的时候,再来废除内安法不迟。

时机未到,无需紧张

内安法的废除时机,在行动党的算盘里,现在还不是废除的时候。反正,在国际上,也没有人,尤其是我们的西方盟友,不会对新加坡是否会废除内安法大做文章。在国内,内安法这个法令还在,一般市民,已经习惯了,也不会起哄,而强烈要求废除内安法。

目前看来,内安法这笔生意,在行动党手中仍然是一门垄断性的生意。既然,垄断的生意这么好赚,为何要轻易放弃呢?能够赚多久就赚多久。反正马来西亚废除内安法,好处和坏处还看不到,说不定赔了夫人又折兵。不但内安法白白废了,国阵自己在选举中又得不到好处。

而且,现在离开下一届大选还有五年,这个时候出牌废除内安法,收到的效果,肯定不是很好。为何,不像往年一样,在选前大派红包,废除内安法在五年后也可以当成一个红包,送给人民,搞一个民主形象,那么,这个算盘,不是打得更响吗?

但是,世界上有永远的垄断吗?这个如意算盘永远都会在行动党手中吗?尤其是,行动党的所谓人才,将来的接班人,第四代领袖,能够继续垄断下去吗?他们能够继续利用旧方法,来垄断新加坡的政治吗?

机关算尽了,最后还是要输。政府投资公司,淡马锡控股的顶尖人才,你能说他们不会算吗?他们算到这样准,但是,怎样也敌不过市场力量,最后,还不是要被海外的市场力量所打败吗?回到国内,随着垄断地位的渐渐消失,人民力量的渐渐壮大,有一天,行动党也会被人民力量所吞没。

人算不如天算,行动党的命运,内安法的废除时间,只是时间未到,不是不到。耐心一点,不要操之过急,说不准,行动党比你还要急,只是苦在心里口难开。

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...
