平常心,冥思,国际观。 三个候选人,三种人生经历。 哪一个跟百姓最接近?

 平常心,冥思,国际观。

三个候选人,三种人生经历。

哪一个跟百姓最接近?


三个候选人,有什么值得学习的地方?一颗平常心,接地气,地铁巴士德士,很容易很自然的了解普通人的日常生活。冥思静坐,可以让我们放慢脚步,放松自己。休息一下,走更加长的路。国际观,世界经济、政治、社会的变迁,肯定会影响我们,小国如何应对大世界,地缘政治的角力。


一般人都忙于工作,养儿育女,照顾父母。遇到提名日这样的大日子,除非有巴士接送,特别安排,很难抽空出席。难怪,这么庄严的提名日,只有不到一千人出席。真的只有这么少人关心吗?不是,因为总统选举不会换政府,只是换一个国家象征人物。关心度就比全国大选来得低。


尚达曼的国际观,无法改变政府的施政方针,他甚至不可以干涉、监督政府。宪法里写得很清楚,尚达曼当然明白。作为前资深部长,回报社会,反馈民情,有个度。他只能做表面的形象工作罢了。如果要改变,还是需要回到政府中去。黄国松就认为,尚达曼败选,可以回到政府中去,继续贡献国家。


我们是普通人,需要平常心过日子。冥思静坐很好,国际观也应该具有,但是,我们还没有达到瑞士生活水平,贫富悬殊,生活压力大,中产阶级面临威胁,透不过气,冥思和国际观解决不了温饱,衣食住行。

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...
