无厘头、冷笑政治,还真有市场!

薪水涨十倍,房价也涨十倍。

8万机器人应对8万解放军。


政客以周星驰式的冷笑话、无厘头方式传达讯息,有些人看了摇头,不以为意,甚至轻视,认定一定会失败。

在市场学里,有区分市场,不同市场用不同方法攻入人心,引起他们的消费兴趣。因此,我们千万不要低估无厘头,冷笑话式的政治。尤其注意,这是一个新媒体时代,一个抖音,就能改变政治命运。

黄循财作为财政部长,又是总理接班人,他的话有一定的说服力。工资起十倍,房价也起十倍,有一定的道理。新加坡人均收入数据也证明,现在我们的人均已经超过8万美元。处于世界领先地位。

人均一般是一个中位数,因此,对于有些人,工资上涨还不只十倍,甚至超过十倍。所以,相信的人还是有,而且还不少。对于中位数以下的人,政府会给予津贴、折扣,甚至,‘不花一分现金’也可以拥有组屋。

过去几十年,工资和房价都上涨。黄循财说房贷比例依然维持在百分之二十五。这也是一个人均中位数。对于低收入家庭来说,这比例可以高达百分之五十,甚至更加高。当然,也有家庭的房贷是百分之五、之十。

当人均中位数对政客有利时,就利用这个数据来说服选民。那些在中位数以下的案例,则被列入个案处理,有些给予津贴、折扣,有些鼓励出租房子,有些提供租赁组屋,有些建议他们搬到新山。

中位数以下的数目太多太大,政府也应对不来。因此,他们就觉得负担不起组屋的高价。不过,政客还是坚持负担得起。事实上,中位数以上的家庭,由于不同的开支习惯,如家有一老,孩子的补习,海外旅游,车子,医药费等等,已经进入入不敷出的阶段。组屋对他们来说,也变得负担不起。

无论如何,十倍工资十倍房价,对于支持者来说,还是具有吸引力。甚至,还要感谢政客几十年来的努力,我们才可以获得十倍工资的工作机会。如果没有政客的努力,我们不是和邻国一样吗?

政客说出无厘头的笑话,也需要一定的实力。一般人不会怀疑部长,尤其是新加坡政府的部长。同样的,喊出八万机器人应对八万解放军,我们也不可能怀疑郭台铭造不出机器人。至于,这八万机器人能不能打战,就不得而知了。

还有更加离谱的无厘头笑话。一枚导弹命中率为百分之七十,两枚为一百四十,三枚为两百一十。因为,这番言论出自一位将军,所以,还是有人相信。这就是市场学中的特定顾客,他们就是希望听到这些周星驰式的无厘头。

不论你是政客,还是政治家,这个无厘头现实,是无法逃避的。一张选票,可以从无厘头的笑话获得,何乐不为呢!

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...
