柔性警告网民 – 政治新常态下的委婉手段?


又见律师信了!总理部长发律师信警告网站负责人,要求道歉,收回言论,但是并没有要求金钱赔偿名誉损失。这个做法有别于对付有财有名声的国际报章杂志,动不动就要赔钱又道歉。也有别于对付反对党人的手法。难道这是政治新常态的一种对付网上舆论的新方法吗?

或许,从另一个角度看,还是没钱没地位的网民比较好。也或许,网上的言论,其影响力并没有国际大报章大杂志来得大,来得令人信服。因为,政府认为,也一直强调,我国主流媒体的公信力比网上的言论来得高,来得具有说服力。因此,对杀伤力较低的网上胡言乱语,法庭要怎么下判赔偿损失多少,也还没有先例。同时,还要考虑更高的政治代价,为反对的声音做免费宣传。因此,如果能够小事化无,发发律师信就可以解决问题,何乐而不为呢!

网上言论公信力不高?

即使公信力不高,223日我国华文第一大报还是要让TR Emeritus网站见光,让网上的淡马锡对上实体的淡马锡,头版头条针对TRE对何晶出任淡马锡总裁做出道歉一事,大加宣传。或许说,还是海峡时报比较理智,头版头条是我国第一个在职的议员,由于党籍被开除,而无法继续担任议员。一条是旧闻重炒,不想见光的新闻,另一条是当红的新闻,网上网下热炒中。再或许,这是华英文读者的不同待遇吧!不同的选民,就是要用不同的行销手段吧!那么,到底那一群读者比较喜欢看到柔性警告呢!

最好还是再见律师信,或者次一点,少见律师信。政治民主,政治成熟,网民理智,网民成熟,就能让律师们少赚一点钱,这该多好,可惜,我们在这一方面还不是世界第一,还要继续努力。说着说着,TRE又收到律师信了。看来需要先声明,为了爱护网站,网民发言,还是节制一点,不要变成爱你变成害你。

TRE向总理做出道歉,收回言论的真正原因,我们不知道。或许,正如该网站负责人说的,真的自知有错,深感歉意。既然道歉,就是理亏了。只是我们有些好奇,总理部长不是很忙吗,忙得连后港选区补选一事都没有时间细想,怎么有空处理个人的事情来了? 看来个人私事,比国事还来得重要,许文远不是说了吗,政治人物没有私事,因此,发律师信,即是私事也是公事。

业绩表现比委任状更令人信服

李世民当年发动玄武门之变,夺得政权,这件忤逆的事并没有阻挡他成为一代明君,而贞观之治的确留下历史美名。或许,有关淡马锡控股,新加坡政府投资公司的争论,要以业绩来下评论比较适合。如果能够公开业绩,报告透明,做得比世界上其他相同级别的投资控股公司来得好,那么,网民再怎么批评,也难以压倒漂亮的业绩表现。在这个以钱为第一标准的社会,网民就是害怕你赚钱比他人少,如果你赚钱多多,又拿来做公益事业,网民高声呼喊万岁都来不及了,还对你指手画脚做什么。

网民中当然有魏征,也有伪魏征,还有其他各类不同的人,总理部长心中的真假魏征又是怎么样的人,大家都不好拿捏,真是如何是好。或许,有如红楼梦中的说的:假作真时真亦假,无为有处有还无。 

如何应对网上的言论和批评;政府,总理部长和行动党人都还没有拿捏的很准确,现在先试着给予律师信警告,再看结果如何。如果成功,那就不需要进一步行动,而更激烈的法律诉讼就可以避免。所以,这场戏还没有结束,正确的说,现在只是开始,新政治常态下的试点,好戏还在后头呢!

傅海燕她在出席人民协会和新跃大学签署合作协议的仪式上,发表讲话时说,社会日益多元化,使得我国面对的挑战也越来越多。她说,多元化使我国能独特地融合了不同的文化和历史,但前提是社会要稳定。她指出,目前出现了一些干扰我国社会稳定的趋势。(xinmsm 18 Feb 2012)

傅海燕指出社交网站的发声已经超越了传统媒体所能做到的 。。。。有些人试着走极端同时又要被人听到。。。到了一个程度,会使大多数人觉得不舒服。
Ms Fu said social media has amplified voices beyond what was attainable in the traditional media. And in an arena that is noisy, some people have attempted to be more extreme and assertive to be heard, at times to an extent that's uncomfortable for the majority. channelnewsasia 18 Feb 2012


多数人不舒服?干扰我国社会稳定的趋势?是不是针对社交网站,网上言论?

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
