新加坡的外交困境:无人理睬,没人关心。


https://tw.news.yahoo.com



新加坡武装部队装甲运兵车在香港自从去年11月被扣后,我们只是单方面,偶尔看到听到新加坡方面的说辞。新加坡政府的意思是说,不知为何运兵车被扣留,责任似乎是在运输公司,而且我们以往都这么做,也没有出事。

除此之外,在国际上,甚至在亚细安国家中,新加坡的运兵车事件,似乎不是什么新闻,说的白一点, 就是无人理睬,中国方面已经懒得理你,即使新加坡单方面向香港当局表明立场(什么立场?),还是没有下文。这种官样立场,似乎是向新加坡人说明,行动党政府拿了高薪,确是还做一些维护新加坡利益的事情。

但是,在国际舞台上,新加坡国防部说什么,国防部长说什么,说的再大声,也是无人理睬的。难怪,在新一轮的人民行动党的18人中央执行委员中,没有国防部长黄永宏的名字。黄永宏在2015年的大选,时任行动党组织秘书,意气风发,可以说是一个有功劳的中央执行委员。回想当年在提名中心,黄永宏的豪气,现在,变得对牛弹琴。



说到没人关心,这是新加坡外交部的苦呀!没有一个亚细安国家愿意帮助新加坡,做中间人拉线,把事情降温,早一点把运兵车拉回新加坡。美国也不出声,没有帮新加坡这个小弟出声。

但是,美国海军却能够很快,很顺利的把被中国捕鱼一样捕到的水底探测器拿回。12月15日探测器被捕,17日中国国防部就回应会归还。中国国防部还说中方与美方一直就事件保持沟通。这和新加坡的运兵车事件相比,有很大的不同。中美双方一直在沟通,而新加坡却是音信全无,没人理睬,无人关心,似乎新加坡在演独角戏。

美国的立场很清楚,探测器是在公海,但是看在不同国家眼里,也可以说不是公海。这是一个有争议的海域,可以变得公说公有理,婆说婆有理。而最接近这个海域的国家-菲律宾也没有出声。因此,看到下面这条早报的新闻,也不出奇。

想一想,新加坡运兵车在香港被发现,立场上就不能够搬出公海的问题。因为,这是香港特别行政区,是中国的一部分领土。黄永宏似乎没有把立场和问题说清楚。

当然,黄永宏更加不可能像美国候任总统特朗普那样的‘豪气’,形容事情的发展: “中国在国际水域“偷取”探测器,行为前所未有,又说“偷取”的探测器他们(中方)可以留著。”

我们的国防部长绝对不会像特朗普那样,像他在提名中心的豪气,大声的对香港和中国当局说,运兵车不要了,中方可以留着。

国防部长黄永宏对国内人民的豪气,就是不能复制到国外去。想着想着,这不是人民行动党的嘴脸吗?对人民大声说话,豪气的很,对外却没有朋友,没有信用#。



难怪,东南亚国家中,没有人愿意出来做和事佬。

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...
