有一种求真求实的精神 叫 止于国会 不停自我检讨自圆其说 却 不上法庭

 有一种求真求实的精神 叫 止于国会

不停自我检讨自圆其说 却 不上法庭


求真求实有两种标准。我们看到一种终于国会。另一种交由法庭决定。自我检讨自圆其说式的求真,最后停留在国会,没有主动交由第三方的法庭决定求实。


在国会之外,还有一种求真求实,那就是法庭。这是现代社会的一种解决方法,当然,那也未必一定找到最终的真和实。最少,公开的法庭审判,让人看到法官的法理依据,双方的证据和辩护。


这和国会不同,国会看人数。谁的人数多,谁就赢。


在政治上,求真求实的目地,就是根据本身的优势进行。如果在国会占大多数,绝对优势,怎么样的反对和怎么样好的依据都没用,最好的选择就是把所有的不利,局限在国会。


如果在国会得不到想要的结果。就要用尽资源,把对方告上法庭,由法庭决定。法庭只看证据、辩护能力,判决结果,不需要付上政治责任和代价。或许,这叫借刀杀人。


因此,求真求实是一种选择。可以终于国会,也可以止于法庭。这要看当时的政治需要和利害关系。


当然,还有一种求真求实,就是大选。不过,大选也未必看到真与伪,政治上的模糊、伪装,也一样可以蒙骗过关。


‘严于律己,宽以待人’的反面教材,就是终于国会和止于法庭的选择。最可怕的是,有人把自我检讨自圆其说被当成一种美德,止于国会不正是反面教材的例子。


求真求实最后演变成对他人非常严格,法庭见。而对自己却相对的宽恕,国会解决就可以了,没有必要上法庭求真求实。


这就是政治上的求真求实的双重标准。

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...
