债留后代

民选总统的迷思?

用人不当照样

误国误民。


民选总统设立以来,没有一位总统知道储备的详情;问了也是白问。储备和债留后代有关吗?


后来,人民行动党政府更进一步,强调债不留后代。储备即使有多雄厚,也不可以拿来用;更加不会举债,让后代负载累累。拿我们的标准看美国,肯定是债留后代。


民选总统的另一个功能,就是用人,高官的人事任命,需要获得总统的批准。用人不当,误国误民,储备被亏空,后代还是要负责。司法出现偏差,贪污没有纠正,行政效率低下,国安漏洞百出等等,都可能发生。虽然没有动用储备,但是,经常项目开支得不到控制,照样债留后代。


一旦出现误国误民的事,储备还保得住吗?外国有很多例子,用人不当,国家的钱就白白不见了。即使正当使用,策略错误,误读误判,例如地铁维修这样的小事,也会让国家生产力受损。更何况更大的投资、司法、国防、经济等各方各面的用人不当。


民选总统的迷思,就是即使自动中选,还是票选出来,我们看不到总统在储备和用人方面的执行力。难怪,在何晶眼中,一人一票选出来的总统,不具备独立行事权力。民选总统不是独立行政、不是监督政府,

不是社会申诉专员。


既然什么都不是,那么如何保护储备,如何确保用人得当。更加不用说债不留后代的使命了。


行动党政府把民选总统想得很深、很细、很全面,但是,真的能够确保债不留后代吗?自我检讨,债留后代,如何搞清楚?

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...
