调查‘回家投票’,新加坡为民联造势?

回家投票,会带来更大的海啸吗? yahoo.com.sg


520日是马来西亚第13届全国大选的提名日。55,换不换得了政府,回家投票很可能会起着关键性的作用。因此, 新加坡警方在这个时候调查‘回家投票’的举牌行动,间接性的给在野阵营的民联三党造势,让他们免费获得宣传机会。

虽然这事件发生在新加坡,但是,新马的新闻信息交流,再加上社交媒体的宣传,一下子,两地的 人民都知道了这件事情。这也让外人知道在新加坡举牌抗议,需要准证,不然就是犯法行为。

这是马来西亚竞争最激烈的一次大选。也有人说这次大选也是最肮脏的一次。既然如此,选战如此激烈,每张选票都应该争取,胜负可能就是几张选票而已,是否可以换政府,也很可能就是几个议席的相差而已。

马来西亚大选走到这个阶段,胜负可能还要依靠一点运气,反风到底是否吹来了,吹来了多少?有没有吹到柔佛,砂拉越,沙巴?如果没有2008年大选否决国阵三分二绝对优势,今天的民联就没有这个气势,敢挑战国阵,也看不到希望,能够组织政府。

在英国制度下的民主选举,从三分一议席到推翻现任政府,只需要增加17%的议席。在反风激烈的吹袭下,再加上运气在自己这边,多数议席以微差胜出,是很有可能出现替代政府的。甚至,总得票率不到50%,就可以上台执政了。1963年新加坡大选,行动党只获得46.9%选票,却获得72.5%议席(51席中的31席),上台继续执政。

2008308海啸的大选成绩,国阵的总得票率只有50.27% (下降13.63%, 而民联则获得46.75%的总得票率(上升10.63%)。如果反风继续,运气又好,民联上台是有可能的。

难怪新加坡第一任总理,会认为选民如果不认真考虑后果,大选成绩出来,是很可能会出现替代政府的,他形容这个结果为freak election。因为,在1963年的大选,行动党也是因为 freak 而当选执政的。2011年大选在野阵营获得40%选票,和行动党当年46.9%执政似乎相差不远?因此,行动党会想尽一切方法,不让得票率下降。

三分二绝对优势是个关键,难怪有人认为2016新加坡大选,在野党有希望否决行动党的这个优势,那么,在之后的选举中,才能看到希望。这不是说反对党支持者要等多最少10年,两届大选后才能看到希望。

而这个希望,还要看马来西亚这次大选的成绩如何。民联三党(公正党,伊斯兰党,和民主行动党)的表现如何?如果反风吹不起来,又回到国阵绝对优势的局面,那很可能等候的时间会更久。新加坡选民也会反思马来西亚大选的成绩,也可能把反风压下。

因此,作为支持新加坡出现两党或多党制的人,我们希望看到民联胜出。民联胜出将会鼓舞新加坡反对党,给他们带来希望。让他们有更大机会吸引到最好的人才,投身新加坡的政治活动。

新马本来就是一体,这两个国家有着互动关系。一方发生的事情,会影响到另一方。因此,马来西亚那一边说,因为我们2011年大选,以及之后的两次补选,工人党突围和取得胜利,带动了柔佛的选情,导致这个平静,不想生变的南部州,也开始吹起反风。

新加坡这边却认为308大选的成绩,否决国阵的绝对优势,间接导致新加坡开始吹起反风。

是否如此,真的说不准。因为,整个世界的局势也是如此。执政党的日子不好过,选民看到其他国家求变,有些还通过武力,现在,能够和平的通过选票解决,这不是更好的方法吗?

55之前,新加坡有一个大集会,五一劳动节的芳林公园抗议活动,马国南部的选民,尤其是华族选民,看在眼里,不知道会不会进一步加强他们的反风意识呢?

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...
