在礼义廉耻面前,谁是最终赢家? 竭力帮助又获利最多? 新报业媒体信托还是中下层人民?

在礼义廉耻面前,谁是最终赢家? 竭力帮助又获利最多? 新报业媒体信托还是中下层人民? 新报业媒体信托的两大中英文报纸在报道财政预算案对中下层人民的加持时,一个说竭力、尽力的帮忙。另一个则说中下层人民获利最多,得到的好处最多。 意思是说,政府已经尽力一切努力,为中下层人民做出努力,帮忙他们度过难关。同时,政府也为他们争取到最大、最多的利益和援助。 政府已经做到礼义廉耻,大家也应该心安了。中下层人民获得有尊严的帮助,政府也尽了义务,在高薪养廉的旗帜下,完成符合立法、礼法的需要。 好一个心安理得。政府心安,人民心安。大家携手开拓前进路,陶醉在竭力帮助、获利最多的歌功颂德中。 事实上,谁才是真正的最终赢家。 新报业媒体信托。 未来五年,每年获得1亿8000万元。不费吹灰之力,轻而易举的钱就到手。而且,一给就给五年。 在新定义的礼义廉耻下,谁才是赢家?对自己有利,有功的,帮助自己,帮助文宣,为自己加持的,才能携手开拓前进路。当然,获利也最多,好处也最大。  政府当然和赢家一起携手开拓钱途,前进发财路 可惜啊!中下层人民只是捞到一点点好处,不是最终赢家。 呜呼哀哉!难怪,礼义廉耻有了新的典范。

The Meaning of Indian and UAE’s Abstention: Historical and cultural considerations?

The Meaning of Indian and UAE’s Abstention: Historical and cultural considerations? The Russians have blocked the United Nations Security Council action on Ukraine.  This is easy to understand as they have the veto power. China’s abstention is also easy to understand. Many news media highlight the Chinese abstention but fail to point out the significance of Indian and UAE’s abstention.       Why do India and UAE abstain? Why do they have views different from the other UNSC members? ‘India’s decision to abstain from the UNSC resolution on Ukraine strikes a balance between national interest and its core belief. ‘  https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/how-india-s-abstention-from-unsc-vote-is-different-from-china-101645844281926.html What is the core belief of India and their balance between national interest and core belief?  In fact, both India and UAE look for a path of ‘dialogue’ and ‘inclusive and consultative process ’. This means there is another way or solution to the action

The meaning of GST hike: To hit a person who is down.

  The meaning of GST hike: ? Good timing ? Transformation ? Fair Distribution ? Economic booster ? Job creation ? Entrepreneurship  

报应来了,我代表被传召问话。 丢脸丢到印度去,李显龙以恐龙思维‘尼赫鲁的印度’看莫迪政府。结果,自取其辱。

  报应来了,我代表被传召问话。 丢脸丢到印度去,李显龙以恐龙思维‘尼赫鲁的印度’看莫迪政府。结果,自取其辱。 『丢脸丢到印度去,我国驻印度最高专员 被传召问话。 报应啊! 自以为是,错用历史,误判印度国情。 当然,也误判了新加坡国情。』 (这只是一个开始。录像来自CNN.) 只看到眼前的利益,大言不惭在国会伟伦一番后,很快的报应就来了。印度莫迪政府认为李显龙错误的引用尼赫鲁的例子,并且不当使用。因此,传召新加坡驻印度最高专员。 自认聪明绝顶,对于国际局势和政治具有独特见解的李显龙,终于还是因为不了解印度国情,而得到报应。传召国家代表问话在国际外交上,属于严重事件。当然,如果你是美国、俄罗斯这样的大国,这是司空见惯经常遇到。不过,新加坡是一个小国,而且,新印还是伙伴关系。这就不寻常,不简单。 李显龙毕竟不是李光耀。当然,也对尼赫鲁时代的历史,没有父辈那么深的认识。或许,他更加应该举‘和他一起共享榴莲的纳吉’的马来西亚为例。马来西亚的确面对自由民主倒退的问题,国会里也真的有’尼赫鲁的印度‘例子里说的犯罪分子。这个例子连马来西亚人,甚至政府也应该会赞同。 莫迪政府为什么不高兴? 1947年印度独立后,尼赫鲁出任总理,他的家族和甘地家族的国大党一直垄断印度政权几十年。一直到2014年,莫迪领导的人民党才把国大党拉下来。算起来,还不到10年啊! 李显龙害怕什么? 如果我们像印度国会那样,出现不正直的议员,根据他的神逻辑,久而久之,最终,会出现换政府的情况。难怪,国大党认同他,而莫迪的人民党却不同意。李显龙最害怕,做了几十年的政府,好像印度国大党,马来西亚巫统,最后演变成反对党的角色。 李显龙为何这么短视? 他以为所有的国家都不会换政府,而印度经过几十年国大党的统治后,终于换政府。如果,印度如他所说的自由民主倒退,那么,人民党如何上台做政府?难怪,国大党认为莫迪政府小题大做,不应该传召新加坡最高专员。人民党和国大党谁比较懂得治国,我们外人不适合评论。 但是,这个例子却足以说明,李显龙的心态:换政府不好,反对党都是不正直的,人民行动党最好。最恐怖的结论是,也是他的歪论:国会有反对党,就会出现不正直的议员,这些议员会导致自由民主政治倒退。这种恐龙思维,难怪人民行动党会出现接班人问题。而另一方面,通过这种手段试图、意图阻止忧心、有心为国贡献的人。 我们在印度的投资为

The Political Hawks in the PAP will accelerate the Downfall of the Party.

The Political Hawks in the PAP will accelerate the Downfall of the Party. There are aggressive hawks and moderate hawks in the PAP.  This is to keep the balance of the party.  Since the so-called 3G leadership running the country, we have seen there are more and more hawks, the aggressive ones in the PAP.  The recent developments, like the COP as well as the coming GST increase, indicate the aggressive political actions of the hawks, led by Lee Hsien Loong as prime minister.  The moderate hawks remain silent, maybe they like their compensation, maybe they want a happy retirement, maybe new recruits have to show their loyalty…Anyway their numbers are reducing from GE2011 to GE2020. The Presidential Election also shows the same trend, from don’t bother to useless. Is this good for Singapore? We laugh at Donald Trump and think many of his policies were insane and bad. Of course, he is still the target of the liberal media until today.         With the aggressive hawks inside the PAP gaini

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

The Boy Who Cried Wolf When you cannot handle the challenge, you cry wolf or you fix them or both.   When 1G cannot handle  Chia Thye Poh, Lim Chin Siong,  Poh Soo Kai etc… So… When 2G cannot handle  JBJ, Francis Seow,  Tang Liang Hong etc… So… When 3G cannot handle  Chee Soon Juan etc… So… When 4G cannot handle  Pritam Singh etc… So… Third time lucky or fourth time lucky?

立法院,自废武功,自降自主权。 不制衡,借刀杀人,借机借正义。

立法院,自废武功,自降自主权。 不制衡,借刀杀人,借机借正义。 『英国自从有国会以来,几百年来,立法院都是独立自主,没有议员受到国会外的司法调查,立法院内的事情自己处理。我们的变相国会,不但做不到制衡政府,变本加厉,连独立性也丧失。这或许是临死前的挣扎,走投无路的选择。』 什么刀?‘庖丁解牛’里面的那把刀?好的屠夫用了19年也不会坏,差一点的用上几年才坏。当然,也有月月换刀的屠夫,年年换刀之人。 时代不同, 屠夫也换了。新的屠夫是否能够和旧的屠夫,一把刀用了19年,具有以前那样的功力,这就要看功力如何,修道修到什么程度?修道要用心修,现在的屠夫似乎忘记,游刃有余的庖丁解牛,要怎么解牛才能够解牛解到,牛到死都不知道死是什么一回事。 还记得倚天屠龙记吗?屠龙刀必须配合倚天剑才能修得盖世武功。现在的屠夫生不逢时,即使有屠龙刀,也没有倚天剑。以前的屠夫是刀剑合一,天衣无缝的结合,法院内外,家内家外,可以说是打遍天下无敌手。立法院不需要做到这么明显的自废武功。或者说,根本连进入立法院的机会也没有。因此,还可以维持表面上的立法院独立、自主。 用了19年的屠刀,也不需要制衡,也无需借刀杀人的手段。只要把进门的门路卡死,什么事情就自然而然的可以为所欲为。 好景不长,门路卡不死,越来越多人要搞制衡,要求透明,要求公开。因此,这把刀即使只能用上一个月,一年,也是要用。同时,还要尽快找到倚天剑来配合,才能重现往日的光辉。 啊呀!屠龙刀,倚天剑,庖丁解牛的刀在哪里?好幸苦啊。现在,对手出了问题,这不是天上掉下了的天大机会吗?难道,这是上天和老爸给的新年礼物,棺材的门打开了。 可惜呀!屠刀不利,屠龙刀没有,倚天剑也没有,这是如何是好。本派的高手又技不如人,单打独斗不行,集体选举也保不住江山,乘着现在还掌握一切,先下手为强。 急功近利,或许这是唯一的选择。现在,不是斗治国,讲管理,也不是谈为国为民,而是争斗,把对手击倒,让他们没有翻身机会。这样一来,即使无能,没有治国良方,也一样可以顺风顺水领高薪,不受到制衡,不需要透明和公开。 螳螂捕蝉,黄雀在后。急功近利只看到眼前的好处,而忘记了自身的危险。这种败坏宪法精神,国会独立的做法,带来的后果,将不堪设想,全体新加坡人必须承受,承担。到时,人去楼空,为时已晚,呜呼! 是时候,换政府了。是时候,觉醒了。

The Winter Politics or The Dirty Politics or The Stupid Politics?

  The Winter Politics or  The Dirty Politics or The Stupid Politics? Sometimes, one wonders how low a ruling party goes.   Bad parliament, bad cabinet, bad government and bad leaders.   Is it a competition of politics of stupidity, lousiness, laziness, good for nothing, useless leaders? Oh! Only enlightened voters can save Singapore.  # About the Butcher Ding’s Dismembering Bulls You can read the story here: http://www.enread.com/story/folk/102884.html How long can the butcher’s knife last?  1 month, 1 year or 19 years.   From 1G to 4G, the lasting period is getting shorter and shorter.   A competition of stupidity has begun.  Oh! wait a minute, maybe this is a gift for Happy Birthday or Valentine. The problem is not the KNIFE but the mastery of Dao - the politics of hearts.

A 1.5 minute Video explaining Raising GST without Transparency, Checks and Balances.

A 1.5 minute Video explaining Raising GST without Transparency, Checks and Balances. Is this a new collegial leadership and partnership with citizens ?  The reality is all Singaporeans share the responsibility as all of us pay GST, whether it is 7% or 9%, rich or poor.  This is a kind of fair and equality that the PAP wants to show to the world. You make your own judgement.  A million dollar minister is paying the same, universal, tax rate as a cleaner in Changi Airport.  A peanut or a cup of coffee or a lunch! Sharing responsibility, sharing tax burdens, sharing failures are the new 4G style. What they never say is sharing their salary or adjusting their pay.   This is the new way of ‘partnership with citizens’.  The PAP is not looking for common prosperity.  They are still trying to make the rich richer by saying that the rich consume more and pay more GST.     GST is a complicated issue and it cannot be explained in less than 2 minute.  It needs to be fully debated, transparency an

从1910万到33万游客, 新加坡旅游业如何从新启航? 情况比Facebook到Meta还要严重。。。

从1910万到33万游客, 新加坡旅游业如何从新启航? 情况比Facebook到Meta还要严重。。。 从1910万,274万到去年的33万游客;旅游业收入从2019年的277亿,2020年下降到48亿,再下降到去年的19亿新元。不论游客人数和收入,巨大的下降幅度,令人胆战心惊。 新加坡旅游业如何重新启航,新航如何再次起飞? 这已经不是短期问题,至少,这是中期问题。国内的通货膨胀问题,也不利旅游业的复苏,除非游客带着买屋子兼旅游,办公事兼旅游,家访兼旅游的心态;但是,这些游客人数会多到哪里?难怪,旅游局不对2022年做出展望。。。 或许,政府不敢轻易做出判断,走向不明朗,或者,根本不知道如何走。他们唯一明确的方向是继续支持新航,延后机场的发展。还有把建设旅游业的钱,分配到其他行业去。 新加坡旅游业面对的困境比元宇宙的脸书还要严重。改名后的脸书,虽然希望元宇宙的世界能够带动业务,但是却面对不受年轻人青睐的困境。使用脸书的人数,已经到达瓶颈,脸书也不再是年轻人的首选。因此,股价大跌,市场价值惨跌超过25%,比新西兰、新加坡的年国民所得还要多! 元宇宙在事情还没有发生的时候,就已经预测到必须寻找新的方向,新的业务发展。而且,财力雄厚,有能力可以通过购买其他公司来壮大自己。 新加坡在旅游业面对巨大问题时,也考虑到重新分配资源的问题。如何分配?最需要协助的人和企业,如何获得适当的分配和援助? 我们的储备雄厚,只是方向和方法在哪里?我们从淡马锡和政府投资公司的投资活动中,看到了什么?看到什么策略?如何激活新加坡本地企业? 没有。 我们看到又要加税,费用再起,开支节节升高。。。 旅游业人数和收入下降的问题和幅度,比当年英军退出新加坡的情形还要严重。 或许,很多人都忘记了。 我们当年的勇气,领袖魄力,策略决策,刻苦努力, 还能寻找回来吗? 储备高,有钱了,但是,我们的领袖素质、能力、竞争力何在?因此,PAP只能说他们的领导是共同协作、共同领导(collegial leadership)以及和人民在一起,人民伙伴(Partnership with citizens)。 这种与民同在,共同责任的精神,似乎说明,将来出什么事,这是大家的责任,大家的负担,不要把责任全部归咎于PAP政府,李显龙和4G。

Nian(年),have we really passed the Year? Nian wei (年味), do we really have it? In our Heads, the Year is over. In our Hearts, the Monster of the Year is still there.

Nian(年),have we really passed the Year? Nian wei (年味), do we really have it? In our Heads, the Year is over. In our Hearts, the Monster of the Year is still there. When we say we are crossing the Year (过年), we mean we have finished off the dangerous monster - Nian (年).   And the new year will bring us a better and prosperous year.  This is the wish of the people.  And then, we learn about the new style of 4G leaders and their collegial leadership and engagement with citizens in partnership .  They are trying to create an image of change and hope. The reality is the Monster of Year is still there.  In paper, in our heads, the mainstream media is trying to project some changes in style, in leadership and in engagements.  The media and the government try, very hard, to convince us the monster has been killed and in our heads, all the convincing statistics and reports try to prove that the difficulties are over and new changes, new hope will come. In our hearts, our feelings, suggest the a
