从新航问题,看行动党第四代领导的竞争力。

第四代行动党领导

从新航问题,看新加坡的竞争力。 How to trust you if you are not ready

过去风光不再,新航和第四代行动党领导还能继续吃老本吗?
新加坡航空公司推出《数码创新发展蓝图》,作为转型的一部分。新航是新加坡的王牌,新加坡的骄傲,就业的首选,但是,在日益激烈竞争的国际市场,也不得不转型改造,以图持续发展。 新航虽然不至于像吉宝海事那样在巴西行贿,鼓励贪污。但是,也曾经因为和其他航空公司勾结,垄断市场被被罚款。 【新加坡航空、法航荷航公司、英国航空公司等11家航空公司因十多年前达成并实施价格垄断协议行为,被欧盟委员会罚款7亿7600万欧元(约12亿新元) https://www.channel8news.sg/news8/singapore/20170317-sg-sia-fined/3605194.html】 在新加坡以外做生意,不像行动党在新加坡国内搞政治那么容易和简单。在行动党特殊的政治文化下,这里的垄断定义和贪污定义,可以做选择性的解读,无需和国际接轨。失去了一党独大的优势,在海外,吉宝,新航,胜宝旺,淡马锡,新加坡政府投资公司等,如果依照在新加坡做生意的习惯,例常运作,就会惹上麻烦,罚款是小事,坐牢都有份。 难怪,行动党政府在国内可以这么从容的慢慢来,接班人可以像粤语长片,或者台语连续剧那样,拖泥带水,演个没完没了。这种慢动作的确能够吸引到粉丝成为忠实的行动党支持者。他们之中,有些还嫌演得不够慢,希望一直停留在过去的时光,李光耀的时代。 新航的急迫,反映激烈竞争的现实。新航知道它只是市场上的一个选择,没有了新航,国际民航不会为此停留下来,能够代替新航的航空公司很多,廉价航空更加的多。 反观所谓的第四代人民行动党领导,他们还在为谁出任总理不知所措。转型改造,也不知道在哪里? 这就是行动党在没有竞争下的好处,因此,他们一直在为一党独大铺路,深怕没有垄断优势就办不了事。但是,对于人民来说,这就是一大损失。试想,新航如果没有竞争,机票价格就可以居高不下。如果没有廉价航空,有可能出现这么多旅游点吗? 新航辛苦的推出的《数码创新发展蓝图》只要遇到一些低级错误,就很可能变了样。例如,最近的网上强制性买保险事件,即使新航有最好的大数据分析,由于保险政策的反反复复,游客、搭客未必领情,反而觉得新航服务大不如前,市场上替代航空公司又这么多,他们的服务也改进,因此,单靠大数据得出的政策,很容易就被小错误,不好的公关沟通给打败。 同样的情形如果发生在行动党身上,那就容易解决。这就是地铁问题,公积金问题,教育问题等,可以慢慢来, 一点也不用急的原因。 新航的过去成功,可以说是新加坡倾全国的力量护航。我们的机场,基础设施,人才,都全力支持新航,甚至连罢工都要出动总理训话。这种情形也一直持续到今天,《数码创新发展蓝图》有公共部门,经济局,民航局,大学的加持。 新航总裁吴俊鹏资源说:“随着数码创新发展蓝图的推出,我们希望在数码方面,成为全球引领先锋的航空公司。”他只是“希望”而已,因为,新加坡在数码创新方面,只是拿来主义。即使我们的大学,在这方面也未必领先世界第一流的科技。 新航和第四代行动党领导实际上是吃老本。不过,新航面对的是世界级挑战,而第四代领导在李显龙的护持下,不单没有面对实际挑战的勇气,反而一直要用各种行政手段,国会保护来避免竞争。 当然,除了新航外,我国的政联公司和私人企业也要面对国际竞争,世界市场的挑战。他们没有保护伞,尤其是私人企业,在财政不强和海外市场知识都不足的背景下,面对的困境可想而知。 相较于行动党第四代领导,在新加坡特殊政治保护下,他们真的能够继续慢慢来,继续高枕无忧吗?

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...
