马哈迪要重建法制精神,发展马来西亚经济。


马哈迪在宣誓就任马来西亚第七任首相前和后的记者会上,一直强调法制 (rule of law)。马来西亚必须重建失去的法制精神,让人民和海外投资者增加信心,这样经济才能稳定发展,从而协助降低国债。尤其是,新政府要取消刚刚才开始推行的消费税,钱从哪里来,才是硬道理,唯一的方法就是持续稳定的经济发展。这对新加坡来说,是正面的。

马来西亚的法制出了什么问题?马哈迪新官上任三把火,清楚点名总检查长,选举局,反贪局,还有前任警察总长等人,他们如果犯错,就要依法处理。马哈迪还亲自下令,不许纳吉夫妇离境。

马哈迪需要重建人们对于马来西亚法制的信心。我们发现马哈迪在记者会上,似乎没有提到民主,人权等话题。事实上,只要展现法制精神,一切依法行事,人人在法律面前平等,就已经能够体现民主和人权精神。因此,马哈迪强调宪法精神,他要根据马来西亚宪法、法制来治理国家。

法制精神一旦被践踏,身在高位者,就可以利用法制的漏洞,图利自己和同伙人。甚至,盗取和窃取国家财富(纳吉)。更加可怕的是,当权者还可以利用法制的漏洞,莫须有的罪名,让敌对者锒铛入狱 (安华)。因此,过去的当权者,以及协助这些当权者营私舞弊的高官,将会面对调查。虽然,马哈迪说不是针对他们,不是来寻仇,但是,如果真的犯错,多少都会留下痕迹,想要抵赖看来很难。

法制精神如果没有贯彻到底,不单高官可以走后门,商人,普通老百姓,也一样可以通过不同管道获取利益。这就让贪污大行其道,而苦的是没有后门可走的人们。马来西亚的国阵政府,过去61年,不单没有阻止贪污舞弊局势的恶化,反而暗中鼓励,甚至在大选期间,发放金钱,幸运抽奖,选民当然忍无可忍。

法制社会可以确保多元种族、多元文化、多元宗教间的和谐。不然,每一个族群、宗教、文化,都有自己的一把尺,一套标准。在马来西亚宪法下,依据法制精神和原则来处理问题-经济,社会,宗教。。。这似乎走上马来西亚人的马来西亚的道路上。

因此,有人形容这是理性的投票,而不是巫统和国阵一直倡导的金钱政治,以及反对巫统利用族群和宗教,撕裂国家和社会。

走了一甲子,马来西亚人,尤其是年轻人,希望通过合理的法制,来达到一个更加平等,公平和分配、机会均等。马哈迪给了他们这个希望。

【新加坡人担忧还是欢喜?]

新加坡和马来西亚原本是一家。分家后,我们的经济急速发展,而马来西亚是稳定成長。马来西亚是穆斯林世界国家中的榜样。

马来西亚变天后,经济发展向哪一个方向前进?取消消费税,会有什么结果?会不会像PAP说的没钱就无法发展,而要进一步增加消费税。

新加坡人如果担忧,那又会担忧什么?如果欣喜,欣喜又从何而来?

谢谢马来西亚,让我们看到另外一种可能性。吴作栋在评论马来西亚大选时,把李光耀搬出来,他认为李光耀和马哈迪在看到国家出现危难的时候,就会挺身而出。那么,吴作栋自己呢?他会做怎么样的选择,和巫统元老那样站出来,还是继续他的“无为”?

新加坡的法制精神,是否毫无问题?当李显龙弟妹提出不孝子的指控,这和法制有没有关联?当工人党议员在国会提出质疑,反而要被质疑,这到底出了什么事?当总统选举,可以随意更改游戏规则,当集选区却少数种族代表,可以不需要进行补选,这是否是扭曲法制?

安华即将被释放,马来西亚最高元首特赦他。根据安华女儿的说法,特赦理由是 Miscarriage of justice.


意思是司法制度的失败,无法做到公平公正。同时,还把无辜人士定罪。或许,简单来说就是莫须有罪名。

马来西亚选民已经清楚表示,他们不希望看到冤枉案件,选择性办案,莫须有事件的发生。他们希望法制精神能够更好的反映在治国之路上。

新加坡呢?我们有没有需要检讨的地方?李显龙是走向纳吉还是马哈迪?

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...
