组屋转售价跌,拥车证价跌,代表了什么?


组屋转售价跌,拥车证价跌,与此相对应却是产业市场过度的旺与热,这代表了什么?

这代表了新加坡的两个世界 - 一个1%,5%,或许15%私人产业拥有者的世界。另一个是85%,甚至85%的中下层人民,地地道道的本土新加坡人,他们的世界没有机会选择和分享私人房产的旺与热。
   
金融管理局在发布常年报告的记者会上,提醒开发商和私人房产购买者小心,不要过于“欣快 ”'euphoria',过度狂热私人房产,而忘了风险。过后,政府就发出新的限制房产市场过热的措施。

报纸上刊登了人们在最后一刻,抢购房产的新闻与照片,这是新加坡的一面。这里面当然包括外国买家,非居民,非新加坡公民。这一幕能够代表新加坡吗?人民行动党说,当然可以,这代表了新加坡的欣欣向荣,繁荣的一面。“屋”有所值,所以,新加坡可以高价卖卖房地产。

真的如此吗?那么,政府组屋转售价下跌,小车拥车证下价,中下层人民为了公积金养老问题,看病烦恼,又是什么现象?难道这不是真的吗?还是,这不是行动党政府要人民看到,不希望媒体大肆报道的新闻,尤其是不希望外国投资者看到的一面。

行动党政府在粉饰太平,还是,告诉人们,这里有一线希望,只要努力,还是有机会搭上房产市场的旺与热。因此,国人应该继续“欣快 ”'euphoria'下去,支持行动党,而行动党会会继续制造机会,让大家都旺热起来。这或许是70%国人投票支持行动党的原因吧?但是,这种欣快 ”'euphoria'是一时的,还是持续的?

只要私人房产业,是开放,国际买家可以自由出入,而国际经济没有出现严重问题,新加坡这个相对的小市场,是比较容易制造需求,不害怕没有人来买房产。当然,这里是指私人房产的部分,政府组屋由于有所限制,不是国际买家的肉。

但是,我们有必要进一步想一想。一个国家,如果没有中下层作为基层、作为基础,这个国家能够一路不断的“欣快 ”'euphoria'下去吗?政府组屋,小车拥车证,公积金,医药费,这些都是中下层人民的基础、基石。它们的下跌和不足,说明了什么?

中下层的基础、基层和基石,他们的购买力,消费力,现在正面临考验。一般情形,组屋转售价应该上扬,小车拥车证也应该上升,,中下层人民也不必担心公积金养老问题和看病烦恼才对。这表示这个80到85%的基础,没有行动党描绘那样旺与热,如果有的话,那就是一种虚假的“欣快 ”'euphoria'。行动党通过媒体制造出来的欣快 ”'euphoria'。

行动党政府最近还有一个令人费解的说明。地铁公司盈利失守,造成亏损的其中一个原因是搭客人数减少。经济一片旺热,没有衰退,怎么会没有人搭地铁?这当然和中下层有关,地铁是我们的主要交通工具,即使管理不善,也不可能不搭地铁。如果,真的如此,那么,这个中下层的基层,的确出现问题,甚至非常严重,这不是房产的欣快 ”'euphoria'所能弥补的。

金融管理局,告诫私人房产买家,不要过度欣快 ”'euphoria',要小心风险,利率、外汇兑换率,国际经济局势,甚至个人的就业问题,生意问题,也是需要考虑的。换一个角度来说,同样的告诫也发生在85%的国人身上,买不起私人房产,也同样要面对这些问题。

事实上,行动党过去60多年,就一直在制造“欣快 ”'euphoria'。瑞士的生活水准,您享受到了吗?

  1. 新加坡在野党的最大毛病,就是不懂得怎样做在野党!早期的徐顺全想一步登天“搞民主”,结果当然是曲高和寡,再被执政党抹粪抹黑,自然一败涂地。如今他当然晓得克林顿的格言:“笨蛋,一切都是经济”才是政治的基础。

    而稍有寸进的工人党,在刘程强的领导之下,因惧于前车之鉴,只想太平的做个pap b 队,以副司机自诩--试想,刘程强竟然没有想到,他这个副司机驾着执政党的车子前行时,如果pap就像反对党所说的那么坏,那时刻岂不是“助纣为虐”?

    因此,我想不出一般在野党人的心智,竟然是这般庸劣,竟然不晓得在执政党在某些民生课题露出缝隙时“见缝插针”?

    不是吗?譬如说在能源问题上,电费怎样会如此“昂贵”,怎么在如今石油价格5、60块钱的时候,比起往前石油价格在100多块钱的时候更贵?譬如说在媒体上不断暴露出来自柔佛州的生水的加工成本不到新币一块钱的时候,新加坡人民却必须付出2块多新币的水费?

    再来,如今的舆论焦点,已经在针对组屋99年限期价值归“0”开始产生集体焦虑的时候,不懂得争取民心?我相信,只要登高一呼,譬如说赢得选举的话,就会考虑延长组屋期限等等什么的,我几乎可以看见,这会给执政党带来多少压力。

    当然,执政党就可能见招拆招,搞不好就先下手为强,主动延长99年限期,让所有组屋居民个个欢喜。不过,在野党也不要因为这而吃上酸葡萄--一来让人民看到了你监督的力量;二来表现出如果你执政了的时候的能量。而这能量愈聚愈的时候,变天执政也只是“水到渠成”。

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...
