老人当自强之安全行

从让座到让路,法理凌驾怜悯心?

从故居门到租屋门,‘不让’精神燃烧中。


【路上行走,随着时代的进步,人行道已经不再是行人的专利。先是脚车,接着电动车;然后,快递车手也跟着进来。人口老化,老人不能不自强,因为,我们面对的是一个‘不让’的社会,其他人行道使用者,法理上没有义务为老人让路。

反映在居家,屋子越来越贵,房子越建越小,如果能够合理的租到又大又绿又便宜的黑白屋,何乐不为?故居的政治好处,如果能够一再使用,唤起同情心,为何要礼让,不加保留。因此,激起怀旧,‘不让拆’才是硬道理。】


搭地铁不让座,路上走,同样的,也不让路给老人、幼童和残障人士。这种奇特的‘不让’风景线,到处可见,似乎已经是新加坡社会,进步的象征。

法律没有规定行人和搭客一定要让路让座。因此,人们可以依据本身的喜好,自行决定怎么做。怜悯心可以放一边,以自身的利益出发。

在路上走,一群学生嘻嘻哈哈走来,然后嘻嘻哈哈的走过,没有当老人是一回事。跑步者一路跑来,老人要让路,不然被推倒,那是你的不对。遛狗者的狗,脚踏车的车,你也要自行闪避,不然,遭殃的可是老人、幼童、残障人士。

处处不让,需要处处警觉,以防万一。

‘不让’精神,是不是另类甘榜精神的体现?新的甘榜精神就是不让座不让路,有便宜,就要捡,就要拿。难怪,一看到便宜的黑白殖民地老屋,就要租来住。

大多数老人,可没有这福气。大多数老人更加没有资格,可以顺利租到廉价的黑白老而大的绿屋。因此,新加坡老人,不得不自强,人家不让路,政府不让好处给你,你就需要自己照顾自己

政府说自己检讨自己是一种美德。政府如果遇到什么不对,就会自我检讨,不需假借他人。从另一方面看,就是不让别人检讨政府。如此一来,老人自己照顾自己反而成了一种美德?不让别人照顾和美德还有这么一层关系,或许黑白屋最终的结局,会以美德来判断,部长不让的背后原因,就是美德;害怕黑白屋空置,浪费国家资源。有人住,才有人气,没人住,会变成鬼屋!

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...
