鸡肋!鸡肋!

总统选举变成

食之无味,弃之可惜。

新加坡人心中之痛。


如果可以再来一次,新加坡人是否愿意看到今天总统选举的感慨,难堪?明明是选贤与能,却处处设立各种限制,让人感觉货不对板,做不到最好,却沦为笑柄。

新加坡很可能是世界上,唯一一个国家,总统选举时间到了,还找不到候选人,最后,只能勉强推出一个人,自动当选。当然,官方的说法是,慎重考虑,最后才推出最适合的人选,见仁见智,怎么说都行!

这不是新加坡人愿意看到的。不论你是执政党还是反对党支持者,大家都不愿意看到这个结局。这样的结果,无法为新加坡高薪养廉,依靠能力、才能、公平、公正的形象增加色彩。

当初,或许为某一些假设而设的民选总统制度,已经过时了。人民行动党唯一能够做的就是变更游戏规则,让自己心仪的人上来。但是,这么做,在国内国外都无法让人心服口服。

因此,有些人认为,不如回到原点,由国会选出一个适合,符合宪法规定的名义总统。这样也符合立国、建国时期的新加坡誓言精神。

如果认真的看看今天新加坡的政治、经济、社会,我们的确和建国、立国精神渐行渐远。我们必须回到原点思考我们如何“拨乱反正”, 不忘新加坡誓言的初心。

看看今天的很多政策,从可负担组屋,公积金存款的使用,移民政策、医药、教育、甚至于母语的传承,都离立国初心太远,和建国誓言粘不上关系。

民选总统只不过是心疼事之一,不是唯一。

进口黄金大大的增加,只是避险,也表示前路艰难。这么做,到底能不能够解决贫富不均,避免个人企业破产,下层人民基本生活能否维持?还是为了富豪,热钱做应急准备?

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...
