行动党的信任、公关危机: 只会涨价,不会做事,不解民情。

 

行动党的信任、公关危机:

只会涨价,不会做事,不解民情。


这次涨价涉及组屋和小贩中心,虽然没有像消费税那样,影响每一个消费者,但是,却触动大多数组屋人和中下消费者。

在困难日子里,不解民情的涨价,把涨价原因归咎于成本因素,如油价,工资,维护等。组屋人当然明白通货膨胀,什么东西都起价,唯独薪金没有调整。

这种发展,组屋人的实际收入其实变相减少,开支增加很多,收入增加一点点。贫富悬殊当然会进一步恶化。

那么,人民行动党政府做了什么?有没有改善民生,协助中下层人民?政府说有,除了消费税津贴,购物券,还有鼓励咖啡店推出可负担食物,建屋局也推出可负担组屋。

问题是,为何组屋人还是感到政府只会涨价,不会做事?甚至,连最基本的民生问题,就业问题也无法解决。这个问题第三代解决不了,第四代也看不到希望。

其实,政府有在做事。例如,部长的黑白屋的黑白事,就设立了一个调查,自我检讨。吉宝门,说谎门,故居门,也很努力的在做事。只是,一想到这些‘门’,组屋人就想到自圆其说,做事很用功,但是,不是为了人民,而是为了自己。

这样演变下去,变成为行动党做事,而不是为人民做事。信任度自然就会下降。在公关方面,又如何说服人民,涨价合理,做事却做了和涨价无关的事。

涨价没有考虑人民的利益。但是,政府做事却与人民福利无关,都是为了自我检讨,自圆其说,维护既得利益。

这种公关和信任危机,也不是今天才发生。自从失去一个集选区,行动党就越来越被认为只会涨价,不会做事的政府。

黄循财也看到这一点。他认为事情的变化很快,每一次未来的选举,都应该看成在野党有可能组成政府。而不是工人党的慢慢来。

黄循财的说法,印证行动党政府的信任和公关危机,已经处于临界点,行动党的支持度,已经在60%以下,甚至在50%上下。所以,才说即使反对党没有准备,变天的可能性也存在。

当然,我们也可以把它看成骗选票,博同情的手段。不过,你几时看过行动党这么没有信心?

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...
