只是津贴卡,不是信用卡的卡中之王。


【卡中之王说穿了,不过是一项行动工程,形象改造工程,建国前辈们会被这些工程打动吗?推而广之,总理在国庆群众大会所建议的各项工程,能够打动选民的心吗?或者说,能否留住60%选民的心?】

总理在国庆群众大会上说,建国前辈现在人人手中有了一张卡中之王。这张卡说白了,就是一张优待卡,根本就不是信用卡,行动党政府没有给人民免费的午餐,只不过给前辈们打个折而已。

总理在国庆群众大会说:“因为你有了这张红卡,你就能享有更多的津贴。例如,你到社保计划CHAS私人诊所和牙科诊所看病时,比其他用蓝卡的病人少付$10。如果你到综合诊疗所、政府牙科诊所、政府医院专科诊所看病,都有补助。加上,这张卡没有限期,终身都可以使用。所以说,这张是卡中之王”

卡中之王不是信用卡,政府是不会跟人民买单的。前辈们到邻里的医疗所,牙科门诊,还是要给钱的。卡中之王只是政府的一张津贴卡。如果诊疗所,牙医的收费超过津贴的数目,这张卡中之王就没有用了。前辈们还是要掏腰包,没有信用可言,政府没有担保前辈们的信用,诊疗所,牙医也不会承认这是一张信用卡,可以挂单,之后向政府收高出津贴之外的钱。

因此,卡中之王不是让你高枕无忧,到邻里看医生,牙医,还是要准备现金的。除非医生和牙医另外给病人津贴,填补不足的门诊费,这样一来,前辈们就不需要带钱包出门了。

什么叫做信用?到诊疗所,牙医看诊,到医院看病,工作人员,医务人员,医生们对前辈有信心,一旦出示卡中之王,就会获得尊贵的服务。就犹如黑卡一样:

(黑卡被称为卡中之王,不是一般人能够得到的,因为它处在财富金字塔的顶端。世界上20%的人掌握着80%的财富,但是持有黑卡的人可能还不到0.1%,这就是黑卡的威力。

花旗银行名为“Ultima”的黑色信用卡以及美国运通公司在1999年推出了名为“Centurion”的黑色信用卡,被业内人士称为“卡中之王”。有人说,只有拥有这种黑卡,才可充分显示卡主的“尊贵地位”。因为这种黑卡不接受申请,只有银行主动邀请客户加入。)

要获得顶级,尊贵的服务,卡中之王的红卡真的是不行。我们的诊疗所,牙医,医院,尤其是政府医院和私人医院顶级病房的病人,使用的是有如黑卡那样的信用卡,才真的获得帝王般的服务。红卡只是胜过蓝卡,想要得到尊贵服务,门都没有。
当然,这是黑卡的传说,网上的消息,正如行动党政府所说的未必可信。但是,黑卡毕竟是一张信用卡,而我们的红卡,所谓的卡中之王,真的不是信用卡,只不过是一张折扣卡,优惠卡而已。

行动工程,形象工程能否改造成功?
行动党对于基础建设,硬件管理,还是有一套的。因此,经常获得国际上的赞美之声。例如,要开赌场,行动很快,不需要经过全民投票,夹着国会的大多数,一下子赌场就建起来了。国外的形象工程也做得很好,不贪污,清廉更是获得国际认同,对于跨国大公司的投资,更是犹如黑卡那样,给予尊贵的服务。
偏偏对于新加坡人,就是没有表现出尊贵的服务。因此,可以死,不可以病就成了名言。钱不够用,有资产没有现金,也是另一个名言。当然,如果加上公积金,淡马锡,政府投资公司,外汇储备的管理不透明,那何止服务,简直就是,关起门来,请你吃闭门糕,不理不睬。
大选的脚步越来越近了,行动党不能不做些‘红卡’工程给选民看。因此,公积金做出一些改变,终身健保,建国一代红卡的推出,组屋的抵押等等,这些都是些行动工程。除了行动工程,行动党也搞形象工程,全国对话,建国50年纪念,甚至连民主社会主义的字眼也出现。有意无意的告诉选民,行动党从右走向左,考虑人民的生活需要。
这些行动工程,的确看到一些津贴,看到一些优惠,一些改变,而选民是否会真的会认为并且相信,这些工程能够持续下去呢!至于形象工程,那就更加困难,新加坡社会正如吴作栋所说的已经出现裂缝,而行动党政府最担心的是裂缝的继续扩大。
国人对行动党的行动工程和形象工程产生怀疑是有根据的。建国以来,行动党一直在搞基建,工业区,组屋,金融区,地铁,机场,港口。也一直在搞小圈圈的心件工程,控制国会,工会,媒体,人协等等,行动党无时无刻不搞工程。但是,偏偏对于爱护国人,尊贵国人,就以公事公办的态度来对待国人。久而久之,人民对行动党的所谓行动工程和形象工程,出现了错觉,即使真的有改变,一点改变,人民也认为这是假的,这是骗选票的行动。
行动党要以行动工程和形象工程来唤回人民的信心,真的谈何容易?这些工程原本应该在建国初期就开始的,但是,行动党信心满满,以为什么东西都是它可以控制的。工程时间,不是由人民决定,而是行动党决定。既然行动党要做出决定,那就要看人民如何判断了。
时代改变了,人民如何判断也改变了。以前相信行动党的工程,现在即使是同样的工程,人民也会比手画脚,对这些工程怀疑。

因此,到底有多少选民会相信红卡就是一张卡中之王。一张没有信用价值的卡中之王,又如何获得尊贵服务?

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...
