快来看看行动党的鸡肋候选人?

2015 PAP Strategy 战略 18 -- 鸡肋战略


和2011年大选相比,行动党这次在工人党选区的战略,可以用鸡肋战略来形容。《三国演义》形容曹操的困境,应该还是不应该退兵北归,就用了鸡肋这个军中的暗语。很多人不明白暗语的意思;只有杨修知道,他把这个暗语的意思说破了。


食之无味,弃之可惜。


不过,杨修这个才子,下场很可怜,被曹操杀了。或许,行动党内部,已经有人知道了这个秘密暗语,有些议员是‘食之无味,弃之可惜’,而把他们拿到工人党的战区却是最好的废物利用,再循环。


出战工人党战区的鸡肋有几个?


杨木光当然是第一个,在宏茂桥集选区原本就要退出政治,现在,放在阿裕尼集选区,还美言,勇敢为行动党牺牲。


张有福是第二个。上一回险胜工人党的余振忠388票。这次假借收复失地为名,更加上要为榜鹅东选民请命,向国家发展部讨回津贴金,又是一个英雄人物。如果杨木光是勇敢,那他就是救命英雄,因为,他要拿津贴给选民。


在马林百列集选区,走了一个张有福,当然要有一个代替者。行动党特意把唐振辉从被灭掉的集选区调过来。这似乎意味着他的鸡肋命运。从一个相对安全的选区,奔向一个危险区,又是一个不熟悉的选区,这样的候选人,不是鸡肋是什么?


既然马林百列集选区有鸡肋行动党候选人,当然会有大头鸡肋。他们一个是前总理吴作栋和另一个是部长陈川仁。吴作栋这块鸡肋,是总理要求他留任。总理以为可以凭着吴作栋过去的名气,在马林百列几十年,应该可以协助陈川仁,守住这个集选区。陈川仁作为第四代行动党传人,很可能要像马谡一样失守马林百列集选区。


行动党虽然不舍得陈川仁,但是,谁叫他的运气不好,选区就在阿裕尼集选区的影响范围,来挑战的是被吴作栋认为比团结党强,而又骄傲的工人党。从吴作栋的各种反应,与其说是高调批评工人党,不如说是心虚。他心里有数,他真的如他本身说的政绩辉煌吗?这回是选民给予他正面回答的时候了。


行动党的另一个鸡肋团队就是东海岸集选区的四人团队。林瑞生原本从职工总会退下来,早就应该退休。但是,一个集选区没有部长领军,实在说不过去。一个阿裕尼集选区没有部长领军,已经很难看,再来一个,行动党真的很没有面子。既然是一个要退休的部长,让他作为鸡肋在东海岸集选区领军,不是正好吗?如果运气好,可以继续担任部长,不中选也不要紧。同时,他也不是第四代接班人,这种鸡肋当然可以被牺牲掉。


行动党还有一个鸡肋候选人。她就是刚刚完生孩子的陈佩玲。行动党故意把麦波申单选区划出来,就是想把陈佩玲这个在2011大选的负面人物划出去, 不让她影响大本营马林百列集选区。因此,她是否中选,对于行动党来说,也是无所谓。赢当然最好,输也不要紧。


最后一个鸡肋就是波东巴西司徒宇斌。这位司徒先生,2011年行动党根本没有想到他会中选。因此,这次继续让他扮演鸡肋的角色,故意不把这个单选区划掉。


行动党的鸡肋战略说的难听一点就是怕死,怕输的典型例子。行动党要的人,就远远的躲在安全的集选区。而鸡肋候选人,可有可无,运气好,就继续做下去,运气不好,那也就无关痛痒,不影响行动党政府。


行动党把鸡肋投放在这几个集选区和单选区,目的也明显。因为这些候选人是‘食之无味弃之可惜’。现在,行动党有难,正好派上用场。作为这些选区的选民,看清楚行动党的真面目后,既然行动党不尊重选民,选民就不需要客气,尽量把选票投给工人党和人民党。


行动党当然还有很多鸡肋在不同的选区。但是,这些鸡肋对李显龙来说,虽然才气不高,但是还有用处。


杨修因为才气,而被曹操杀了。他的死也导致曹操最喜爱最聪明的孩子曹植,没有登上魏国的王位。而魏国一下子就没了被司马家族所取代。行动党当然有比李显龙聪明的人才,行动党当然也很可能像魏国一样,在没有最聪明的人领导下走向死亡。

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...
