精英门越窄 贫富门越大


进入精英名校的门越来越窄,相对应的现实就是贫富差距就越大。吴作栋在莱佛士书院190周年晚宴的感性发言,不正是要说明这一点吗?他说,过去,他的时代的书院,学生来自全国各地,不同种族不同家庭背景,可以说是一个大烘炉。现在呢?这个门就比从前窄得多了。为什么?

想想看,吴作栋时代的书院,新加坡的个人人均是多少,现在的人均又是多少。这段时间的变化,补习中心又开了多少,父母花在孩子身上的校外补习又是多少?吴作栋经常提到要孩子们有一个平等的起跑点,家里没钱,是否真的可以做到公平的起跑点。就拿学前教育来说,这个起跑点相差很可能就是每个月1000元, 甚至2000元。针对这点,政府也好,教育部也好,都表示无意把学前教育提前到幼儿班。

不只如此,政府还要鼓励企业在这方面大动脑筋,推出优质的学前教育,当然,水涨船高,学费当然看涨。其中,得利最大的就是职总和行动党托儿所幼稚园。他们还获得一定的津贴,奖励他们打造更好更优质的学前教育。

学前的起跑点输了,小学的起跑点也输了,小六会考的成绩自然就逊色了。这样一来,新加坡排在前面的名校,就从以前的大烘炉,变成现在的小窄门了。

难怪,吴作栋要呼吁校友要有爱心,成功人士要伸出关怀,帮助不幸人士,和社会分享技术知识和拨出时间帮忙他人。他更承认他们从社会中获得不平等的投资,因此亏欠社会最多最大, 有责任提升其他处于劣势的人。
“What we need is to get the successful to understand that they have a responsibility to help the less fortunate and less able with compassion, to give back to society through financial donations, sharing of their skills and knowledge and spending time to help others do better, and to serve the country.”
“Those of us who have benefited disproportionately from society’s investment in us owe the most to society, particularly to those who may not have had access to the same opportunities. We owe a debt to make lives better for all, and not just for ourselves,” added the RI alumnus.

事后孔明,吴作栋在担任总理的时候怎么没有这样的爱心。他在担任总理的时候,难道没有看到问题的所在吗?他还空谈要给国人一个瑞士生活水准,要培育出一个优雅有礼的新加坡。现在回头想想,这是不是政客的嘴脸,当时,为了哄得你手中的一张选票,说的比做的好听。如果真的有瑞士的水准,起跑点肯定不是现在这样,小贩中心也不需要什么自动倒垃圾运动,生活素质也不是现在这样。

不管吴作栋是否是事后孔明,有心改过,重新有了爱心,要求校友关怀社会不幸人士,落势群体,有一点,我们可以肯定的是,我们的确上了吴作栋这个把软席坐温的人的当。吴作栋担任总理14年,我们还真的给他14年的甜蜜期。我们真的相信他会给新加坡人一个优雅的瑞士生活水准。相反的,行动党政府的确给人国人一个瑞士人均所得的水准,但是,除了钱以外,素质优雅在哪里?更不用说,贫富门是越开越大,大到低收入人士,根本不敢妄想,自己的孩子有一个平等的起跑点。

吴作栋为行动党政府铺了一条经济贫富不均的路。他的的接班人变本加厉,赶超他的的贫富差距。吴作栋现在已经不是总理,也不是内阁一员,他的午夜梦回,爱心散发,关怀低收入,落势人士,到底是惭愧还是良心发现,我们不知道。因为,我们一直以为他是一只羔羊,温驯得我们没有觉察到原来他所谓的瑞士生活水准,只是一个空谈。
精英门越来越窄,贫富门越来越大,国家社会怎么会不分化呢! 


吴作栋:任人唯贤让国人充分发挥潜力和才华,但需慎防“精英主义”分化我国社会。
荣誉国务资政吴作栋昨晚在莱佛士书院庆祝建校190周年的晚宴上表示,“任人唯贤”(meritocracy)尽管不是最完善的制度,但它是让每个人发挥最大潜能的最佳途径,我国须调适和强化这个制度,确保整个社会受惠于这一原则,而不是只有少数人获益。国人也应慎防“精英主义”(elitism),别让它分化我国社会。http://news.omy.sg/News/Local-News/Wu-Zuo-Dong-Ren-Ren-Wei-Xian-Zhi-Du-Xu-Fang-Jing-Ying-Zhu-Yi-189145


李总理说,吴作栋的演讲发人深省。到底是怎么一个发人深省法?今年的国庆群众大会,他特地选择到工教局总部演讲,表示关心学习进度比较慢的人,收入比较低的人,他还说,他将谈到如何打造一个美好的家园。不知道会不会又是一个瑞士花园,另类的空中花园?

在贫富差距继续扩大下,继续引进超级富豪下,即使贫富差距进一步加大,总理也要决意进行,他的所谓正确政治,正确经济政策,那么,新加坡人可以期待怎么样的花园,怎么样的家园呢?

人生有几个十年,有几个14年,吴作栋14年没有带来瑞士花园,李显龙又能给我们怎么样的家园?他不可能再提瑞士生活素质,那他又能给出怎么样的家园呢?我们自己的家园由我们自己创造,行动党的打造家园计划,很可能又是一个空中楼阁,就是要你手中的一票。在你给它选票前,先三思这是不是有可能实现的家园!不然,又再一次中了吴作栋的美丽诺言的当。

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...
