黄国松: 好的反对党才能激励出好的政府; 在野和执政两方都需要人才。

 黄国松:

好的反对党才能激励出好的政府

在野和执政两方都需要人才


准总统候选人黄国松在领取总统参选表格后,发言指出,考虑到新加坡的未来,他有必要挺身而出,给年轻人做示范,不然,新加坡如何出现、培养好的第五代领导。


他同时强调,在野党和执政党都需要好的人才。只有好的反对党,才能激励出一个好的政府。


两边都需要新血、新人才的加入。新加坡才能够从这种好的竞争中获利,为国家持续发展做出贡献。他的论点肯定反对党的监督、制衡角色。两边互相竞争,最优的胜出。


不知道他是不是从投资、竞争的角度看新加坡政治?投资人当然要买最好,最有前途的公司投资。在公平竞争的环境下,竞争者都投入最好的人才、服务和产品,争取最后的胜利。

难怪,黄国松认为,在国际政治、国际经济以及在国际地位上,他能够和善达曼并驾齐驱。他希望他的献身,能够激励更多年轻人出来贡献国家,把在野和执政两边做得更好。


这个论述,不是主流思维,尤其是行动党一党独大的背景,两边都有好的人才、资源,在行动党政府眼中是做不到,也不可能,甚至不需要。


总统选举虽然超然于政治之上,候选人都不可以和政党挂钩,但是,我们是躲不开政治的。总统要独立,但是候选人无论如何也逃不过过去的关系。而且,如果有幸投票,选民还是要做出正确的政治选择。


黄国松的建议,以及他希望年轻人贡献国家,把在野执政两边都建立好,强化好,不知道能否打动选民的心?


这其实涉及一个‘变’字。两边都好,跟新加坡只能拥有一支最好的队伍的轮调,大大不同。他的建议如果落实,新加坡第五代领导是不是行动党人,就成了一个变数。

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...
