狗吃稀饭,幸与不幸?我们是不是在奉行稀饭哲学?


不对呀!我们要一个包容和强大的新加坡,怎么可能只要吃稀饭,喝粥而已。但是,细想一下,我们在经济上,做的就是要富者越富,贫者越贫,贫富差距越大,吃稀饭的人就越多人。在政治上,一党独大,独尊,其他在野党也只能落到吃稀饭的地步。在社会上,我们闻福利政策而逃,当然不幸人士也只有喝粥的份儿了。

还真要感谢一位中国网友,一针见血的指出,新加坡即使叫新加坡,如果中国人都回去,我们也只有吃着稀饭,喝着粥了。

政府是希望国人吃稀饭呢,还是吃得好一点。我们的国策,经济政策,社会政策,没有免费午餐的想法做法,事实上,就是让大多数人吃稀饭,少数人吃贵饭。当你负担了高涨的生活费后,你还有能力吃贵餐吗?所以,批评新加坡人喝稀饭,并没有为过,这正是我们的国策。

幸与不幸

有稀饭吃,还不错,总算不会饿死。这是不幸中的大幸。但是,贵为世界第三富国,沦落到吃吃稀饭,实在有点说不过去。或许,这是新加坡今天的写照,有人的确是只有吃稀饭的份儿,而富国这个名称,对他们来说即陌生又遥远。

我们怎么可能只有吃稀饭的人,高薪的部长老外,政联公司的老总,上市公司的股东,年收入上百万,上千万的人可有的是。这些人怎么可能只是吃吃稀饭这么简单,那也太小看新加坡了。当然,如果跟中国的大排场一比,我们真是小巫见大巫,这是没得比的。场面一摆出来,我们的菜色,可真是算得上是稀饭了。因此,我们的贵人,还是承认自己吃吃稀饭比较好,吃稀饭好,比较健康呀!

从狗吃稀饭,不知道是否会再演变下去,恶化到狗吃大便。真是何其不幸,深爱对方,换来的却是无情无义的对待,也或许,我们的待人处事,确是狗气狗声,因此,对方才给予稀饭的施舍,总算也尽了主人的责任。再或许,这只是主人的下人,没听懂主人的意思,会错了意,生气起来,才又叫狗儿,又给稀饭。

真的是,其实您不懂我的心。主人的心难猜测呀!主人下人的心更难讨好。希望这只是下人的意思,不是主人的意愿。如果,主人也是这个看法,那我们这么多年来的努力,投资,和低声下气,不是白费了吗?我们周旋在中美之间,俨然有如东西的交汇点和专家,这下可好,又是狗,又是稀饭,搞得我们真的有点被逼要去亚入美了。

主人啊!我们知道大国对小国是不对等的,我们只要一点点的门户开放,就能养活几百万新加坡人了,因此,我们只有一个小小的要求,开放市场让我们有生意做。我们要的是通商中国。

我们不明白什么是唱红打黑,什么是富二代,官二代,太子党,也不知道谁是雷锋,为何要向雷锋学习。我们要的是有一口稀饭吃。当然,尊贵的行动党人,希望从稀饭中寻到宝贝,平步青云,和跨国企业老总一样,拿着高薪,把报表做得漂漂亮亮,这才叫高生产力,才能把民怨压下。但是,如果有越来越多的人吃着稀饭,喝着粥,这股民怨还能压得下吗?

期待还是失望

我们期待一个统一的中国,一个强大的中国,尤其是,受过华人教育的一群人,更希望中华语文的兴起,重要性的提高,能够使到他们熟悉的语文有扬眉吐气的那一天,看来现在这种心情是复杂多过兴奋。
事实上,复杂的心情几十年前就已经开始了。当年,有一小部分的好心人士,做了担保人,为中国孩子担保,让他们有机会走出新加坡到欧美留学,结果赔了夫人又折兵,给自己添了不少麻烦。今天环境不同了,这笔账由新加坡政府拿纳税人的钱来负责,结局是否一样?

弟子规,三字经,国学,儒释道,在改革开放,部分人先富起来,部分人先出国学习,奥运,世博,西气东输,南水北调,农民涌向城市的背景下,怎么好像离我们所熟悉的中国越来越远,渐行渐远之下,梦里不知身是客,幸好又是那位网友提醒,大家身上流着同样的血。可不知,我们的总理部长,同意不同意这个说法?

困惑,迷惑,老一代的可能保持沉默。但是,新加坡年青一代可不是这么想。行动党50多年的教育,原本就是要静音,读书只顾读书,不要出声。但是,偏偏社交网的出现,静不了音,而让他们看到很可能吃稀饭的日子,他们怎能不发出声音。虽然,有些意见有些极端,但是,这个水门已经打开,就像乌节的淹水,原本50年来一回,现在一年可要淹上几回水,才罢休。

泪眼问花 沧海一笑

这个敏感的问题,行动党当然希望无事发生,最好什么也不用说,事情就结束了。这有可能吗?我们能回避外来人口,外来人才,外来奖学金的问题吗?我们能回避稀饭的问题吗?或许,行动党希望新加坡人健忘,时过境迁后,又是另一番泪眼问花花不语,乱红飞过秋千去。一直到下回大选,才知道网民该不该问,行动党该不该回答。

对着总理部长的顾左右而言他,我们只能沧海一声笑。

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...
