调整修正,不是新加坡的变法图强。



新加坡变法图强?如何个“强”法?看来只有在精神上提高,在精神文明上装备自己,才能站得高,望得远。新加坡已经是世界首富#1,再富下去,也是首富,为何不在精神上加把劲呢!
       
严格的说,行动党变法求存,根本就不叫变法。收集民意,听听意见,对谈反馈,这根本就不是要做出改变,而是为了求存,而做出的表面功夫。说到底,这只是行动党的问题,行动党政府为了延续政权所做的最后努力 政策调整,不是改变。说的不雅一点,就是要保住行动党达官贵人的饭碗。

那么,新加坡是不是到了变法图强的地步?行动党当然认为不需要,只要做出调整就可以了。行动党本身的调整,是否能够调整全国,整合整个新加坡。它的调整能否团结全国人民?看来很难,为何人民不挂国旗;奥运得奖也不同声庆祝;叫你说标准英语华语你不说,要说“新语”;叫你结婚早生贵子,你不听;组屋价格合理,你不信。。。。

因此,只有跳出行动党的圈圈,以新加坡全体人民的利益着想,以人民的利益再出发,来改变,来增强精神文明。吴作栋20年前就倡导优雅社会,在追求首富地位,荣升首富后,我们还记得优雅多一点,还是金钱多一点?我们住的房子,普通的动不动几十上百万,我们的精神文明也有跟上吗?

变法,法制和法的诠释

那么,行动党有可能变法吗?首先,先说这个“法”,行动党如何跨过自己的保护网:内安法,新闻广播管制,选举制度,淡马锡,新加坡政府投资公司,公积金,等等。它会取消,废除这些法令,这些管制吗?因此,它连这个最基本的改变都做不到。李显龙就是做不到蒋经国的改变,他只能做出调整,可惜调整不是变法。所以,行动党做出的调整,也就是求存的策略。

新加坡有可能变法图强吗?“强”字又做何解释?如何个“强”法?行动党的调整,不等同于新加坡的变法。就像庆祝国庆一样,执政党,在野党一起庆祝,但是,国庆庆典上,就只有看到白衣白裤的队伍,即使他们穿上红衣红裤,那也是行动党的调整,不是新加坡的改变。在精神上,要吗就执政党,在野党一视同仁,都有份参加,不然,大家都不参加。

从第三世界走到第一世界国家,白衣白裤已经不能代表新加坡全体人民,为何行动党的思维,仍然逗留在50,60年代。行动党如果真的要做到求存,那就不是思维的调整,而是思维的改变,突破。又说回蒋经国,李显龙有这个高度和格局吗?

新加坡在人均收入上再大幅度提高,只会加深贫富的距离,增加有和没有之间的误解,在这样的基础上,想要凝聚国人一条心,谈何容易?

商鞅变法,法律公平,管制严厉,连他本身最后也难逃劫数,命丧在自己建立起来的法制之下。但是,这个法制在他死后,并没有被严格遵守。虽然秦帝国最终统一中国,其命运也延续不久,最终还是要亡国。

这使人想起外交部长兼律政部长尚穆根的话,他说法律再严格,最终还是有人会贪污。新加坡像其他社会一样,总会有人贪污。无论制定什么法律,总有人会走漏洞,被诱惑。从古至今,不论什么社会,都无法做到每个人都是‘干净’的。#2

所以,新加坡的法律,即使再严格下去,也无法避免有人贪污,有人爱色,有人爱财,更有人要财色兼收。这当然不是优雅社会,而是欠缺一种精神文明。

选择性办案?自我感觉良好?

行动党不只是在变法上做不到,人民对它在诠释法律的问题上,也有所疑虑。从内安法的利用,诽谤官司,再到最近的名人嫖妓,名医飞车,律师公会罗生门,都令人联想到选择性办案的可能性。军中有白马,政府也承认,联想下去,什么都有可能。

在《尚穆根列举六案说明吴志良循例受刑 整形医生案引爆舌战》的报道中#3,我们看到行动党政府的自我感觉良好,尚穆根为政府打下一个良好的结局和退场。但是,人们心目中的那把尺,怎么衡量那就不知道了。报道也没有提,只好各自解读了。幸好,行动党现在还有一个尚穆根这样的资深大律师做律政部长,如果将来连这样的人才都找不到,那就很难堪了。

名人嫖妓,名医飞车,高官性贪污,的确看到行动党政府的调整和修正(以前作风)主义。政府当然觉得自己现在开放多了,没有偏袒任何人,事实上,这不正表达了我们社会的不完整,和有所欠缺。就正如尚穆根说的,“无法做到每个人都是‘干净’的。”

既然如此,政府何以以‘完人’的法律,自认的‘完人’领导,‘完人’的制度,来管理不是‘完人’的大多数。现在,是时候,不是‘完人’的大多数,要向行动党说不的时候了。
这就是新加坡变法图强。

而这个变法图强,就是要从选票上开始做起。行动党在经济金钱物质的麻醉下,不可能变法,只有调整,但是,调整能够改变新加坡人的精神吗?

“Like in all societies, and in Singapore as well, there have always been people who have been corrupt. There will always be people who will be corrupt,” Mr Shanmugam said.

Speaking at a National Day celebration dinner in Chong Pang on Saturday, Mr Shanmugam said that Singapore cannot completely eradicate fraud and bad conduct, even though it has created a system that is very clean and efficient by international standards.

“There will be people who, whatever rules you put in, they will look to find a way around the rules and they will fall for temptation. There is no society in the world, in the past or the present, where every person is totally clean,” he added

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...
