窄路相逢,不得不相煎!


在邻里走动,一定会遇到人车在窄路相逢。不论是什么人 - 小孩,大人,老弱残障。。。。不论是什么车 - 自行车,电动车,送货推车。。。。大家都似乎习惯了这样的游戏。有时,人车在互相争路权,有时,则是人与人,车与车,在比拼。

这算不算是一种相煎,同样是人,我们在互相争着使用同样的行人道,走廊,有盖走道。到底是谁侵犯了谁的使用权,又是谁破坏了原本相安无事的游戏规则? 而执政者,为何视若无睹,几十年来,没有及早纠正,反而让国人继续相煎下去。

这是社会问题,经济问题,还是经济发展演变而成的社会问题?

几十年前,自行车,摩多车,多数都是在马路上跑。现在,自行车把范围扩大,向邻里的发展。摩多车变形成了电动车,单轮车,双轮车,无奇不有,也打邻里的主意。这样一来,邻里的人行道,走廊,除了人之外,也成了人与车互相使用的空间。恶化演变的结果,当然就是人车相煎,人与人相煎。

自行车,电动车,斗不过马路上的汽车,巴士,货车,只好向邻里发展?还是邻里的走道,更加适合它们。因为,它们轻巧的车身,可以很方便的在邻里自由移动。至于,这样会不会造成行人的不便,行人的安全,那就是另外一回事了。我们想到自己的方便,又何必考虑这么多,反正,在行车时,遇到行人,就拉响铃一下,告诉、提醒行人注意,这么做可以说已经做到仁义。

这是经济发展下的仁义。而不是社会发展下的仁义。PAP的经济发展仁义是让人民在互相竞争下相煎。而正常的社会发展,却是鼓励相爱的仁义。

什么是经济发展下的仁义?自行车,电动车向邻里发展,他们考虑的问题是生产力,效率,方便。他们没有考虑与行人争路,争邻里路道的使用权,会有什么不对的地方。更加让他们据理力争的是,很多外劳也这么做,为何作为国人,我们不可以这么做。这是我们的邻里走道,我们更加有理由,有权利使用它。自行车和电动车使用者知道,他们在自由经济竞争下,不可能与马路上的大车争路权,不可能打败大车。因此,退而求其次,在邻里与行人竞争,具有一定的优势,自行车和电动车的机动性,肯定胜过行人。所以,我们只是看到自行车和电动车撞到人撞伤人,而没有看到自行车和电动车被行人撞倒。

这是国人,尤其是中下层国人面对的相煎问题。从邻里的走道,到医院,地铁,公积金,教育,为何国人渴求改善服务,减少相煎?最好,能够做到相亲相爱。而人民行动党政府,却一直用经济发展作为借口,有钱有办法,就使用公路和马路,住高级病房或者私人医院,最好不要动用公积金,手头松动,喜欢出国就出国受教育,不用政府操心。

所以,以前没有的相煎问题,现在却一一出现。狭路相逢,只不过是其中的一个例子。最新的一个相煎课题,竟然和语文有关。有些新加坡人认为服务员应该要会说英语,因为,这是因为新加坡 是一个发达的国际现代化城市。似乎,我们忘了四大官方语言,忘了在国会也可以用华语发言。我们太过在乎自己的权利,在邻里自由骑自行车,在商场使用英语,在一些小争论中讲自由,在迎新会学外人的放荡,而不敢在大是大非面前据理力争。这是PAP理想的新加坡--中下层人民相煎,在现实条件下,也只能做出不得不相煎的选择。因为,不相煎会吃亏的,比人慢半拍,比人效率低。

新加坡人就是搞不清楚,国人相煎的真正原因,反而,一而再再而三的迷失在行动党政府的经济发展的伟伦中。我们想一想,自行车和电动车走进邻里,行人可以走出邻里吗?走不出,自然就会面对相煎问题。同样是国人,大家最后只能在邻里相煎,在政府医院相煎,在地铁相煎,互相造成伤害。当然,如果经济条件好,就可以摆脱相煎的困境。这是少数幸运人的福气。不属于大多数新加坡人。

这不是相煎何太急的问题,曹丕最后没有相煎曹植,但是,新加坡人却不得不相煎,因为曹植可以被下放到其他地方,但是,在邻里,政府医院,地铁,就没有下放的机会。例如:已经进入C级病房,还可以再往下吗?当然,另外一个方法就是在家里等死。

自行车的响铃,电动车的喇叭,只能提醒国人小心,后面有车。但是,没有办法真正解决问题。响铃也好,喇叭也好,就是告诉行人,现在,自行车和电动车要使用走道了,即使行人有权利使用,也应该让路,不然后果自己负责。
相煎问题的发生是一个经济解决不了的社会问题。一个看不到问题所在,而认为相煎是唯一的解决方法,唯一的折中方法。这就是PAP的真正面目!

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...
