相片,新闻,国策的选择性误导,再加民主的误读


Only u HG 不离不弃后港情5


想不到行动党也有这么一天。以前是经常误导别人,现在却被网民恶搞,破坏后港行动党候选人的君子形象。如果没有新媒体这个又爱又恨的宝贝,不知何时才有机会恶搞行动党。这世界真的变了,难怪脸书这么的值钱,市价竟然超过1000亿美元。

一张新闻相片可以带出很多讯息,当然,误导性的相片,也同样会带来误导性的消息。选择一张朱倍庆不和方荣发握手的相片,与一张朱倍庆和方荣发握手的相片,所表达的意义当然也不一样。下面两个网址,可以让你了解‘相片门’的故事:


不止误导性的相片不可取,选择性不刊登具有新闻价值的相片,也同样不可取。下面这张相片,就代表了新加坡媒体在相片,新闻,国策上的选择性误导。抗议物价高涨是错的,抗议国际货币基金会是错的,无牌抗议更是大错。。。。

这张相片当然没有在我国媒体见报上电视。

同样的,2006年在野党工人党的群众大会人山人海,也没有见报。但是,在网际网络,在智慧型手机的压力下,2011年,我国媒体却不得不刊登在野党群众大会的热况。因为,你不刊登,不表示人家看不到。因此,这次后港补选,别无选择,媒体要以比较平衡的报道来报道行动党和工人党的新闻。

相片的选择,已经可以造成误导,更何况是新闻呢!因此,我们看到工人党内讧,工人党对印度党员不公平,工人党没有解释清楚饶欣龙事件,工人党不珍惜党员的贡献,工人党党员出走,工人党。。。。。当然行动党希望这些误导新闻都是真的,即使,不是真的,也起了减分的作用。

相片,新闻,可以误导,那么,在宣传行动党的国策时,有没有可能误导读者,误导观众呢!在住屋,交通,教育,人口,公积金,国库,等等国策,有没有做到透明,公开,而有没有误导新加坡人民呢!在委任高官,委任政联公司的高管,为自己的薪金加了再减时,有没有误导人民呢!因为媒体要配合行动党的政策而演出,本身没有判断能力,所以,可以说是被动式的误导,当然,或许,也有特意的选择性误导,自作聪明的选择性误导。

看新闻,读新闻,原本就是要面对误导性的新闻和相片。但是,人民有这么多时间来判断吗?如果,没有判断能力,又怎么能够分辨出真和假呢!真假分不清楚时,就只好听所谓的‘信得过’‘公信力高’的主流媒体了。这50多年来,我们可是看了,听了不少这类误导性的报道,现在回想起来,好像在野党,工人党的话并没有说错呀!他们在打压下长大,在误解中成长。

就好像朱倍庆的民主伟伦一样,又是一个选择性的误导后港选民。他的解读,他的说法,不要将民主过程和国会的替代声音困扰,补选已经证明民主的运作,而国会已经有5把反对的声音了,够了,好像已经太多了。

The People's Action Party's Hougang by-election candidate Desmond Choo on Thursday asked voters not to mix up the democratic process with the need for alternative voices in Parliament.

Mr Choo said that the by-election itself shows that Singapore's democracy was working.

He added that there were already five alternative voices in Parliament.

"This by-election is really about selecting a candidate that can best serve the long-term interests of the residents," he said.

"So do not mix up the democracy part with providing alternative voices and the real purpose of this by-election, which is that Hougang residents need somebody to take care of them." (Channelnewsasia, 18 May 2012)

补选就代表了民主,这个补选如果没有低薪工友向法庭要求解释补选日期,这个补选日期很可能还遥遥无期呢!因为,总理很忙,有很多国内外大事要处理,没有时间考虑补选的问题。现在给你们一个补选机会,就是民主。

后港选民可要认真考虑这个误导性的选择,千万不要中了假民主的误导误读。

国会里的5个在野党议员,能够可以代表40%的在野党的票吗?如果我
们采用的是比例代表制,方荣发早就在去年中选成为国会议员了。根本,就不需要参加补选。行动党候选人,未免对民主的定义定的太低了。这或许就是行动党对民主的标准,多一个在野党议员,就是多一个麻烦制造者,总理还公开说过,如果太多在野党议员,要怎么fix他们,哪里有时间治国。

后港选民,真的要好好考虑一下,是否要把神圣一票投给一个对民主概念不清楚的人,更不可以授权给一个无知 (Empowered Ignorance)http://pijitailai.blogspot.com/2012/05/empowered-ignorance-from-smrt-to.html

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...
