 跟尚达曼说不

不然,选了也是白选。

民选总统制度需要突破。


为什么说,选了也是白选。因为,一切照旧,继续人民行动党政府所谓的敬重、尊敬。从哈利吗的互相尊敬到尚达曼的“相互敬重”。  这难道不是一脉相承吗?互相敬重,尊敬人民,看来不过是竞选流言多过实惠。


相互敬重和互相尊敬在选举的时候,才拿出来唤醒选民,既得利益者关心你。政府也好,总统也好,只有在选举来到,才会想到敬重你,敬重你。过后,一切照旧,你过你的生活,既得利益者们过着他们的生活。


如何做到制度认可和突破?新加坡选民知道总统选举不可能改变政府的治国方向,也知道储备和重要人事任命,需要总统点头。但是,选民不满意自动当选,也不同意总统,一点独立性也没有。在1993和2011年的两次选举中,都可以看到民意希望有所突破,不愿看到行动党人再度中选。现在,机会又再次降临。


为什么要跟尚达曼说不?如果中选,尚达曼只不过从高级部长的职位,名义上,上升到民选总统的职位。他个人职位上的调动,对于激励国人,希望看到改变,甚至人性化治国方面,一点也没有帮助。这是新加坡人希望看到的总统选举结果吗?


为什么要反对尚达曼?尚达曼代表了既得利益者。如果他出任总统,目地只是继续维护这个利益集团的利益。这个利益集团当然也包括人民行动党。这就是为什么,人们一直怀疑尚达曼的独立性。虽然,他一直强调本身的独立思维,可以正确判断、执行宪法下总统的职权。你相信吗?


其他候选人有何不同?如果观察其他三位候选人,就会发现他们的不同之处。即使比较接近政府的黄国松,也认为好的反对党才能造就好的政府。一个没有制衡,缺少监督的政府,将会压制一切反对的声音,不论这些声音是好是坏。我们细看主流媒体批评尚达曼以外的候选人,就可以知道他们的不同之处。

  1. 我知道执政党有许多不足之处,但是就如刘程强说的 -- 一来在野党还远远不足具有执政的能力;二来嘛,刘程强愿为副手司机,其实就已经在同意执政党的执政方向没有异议。

    这其实也会在每一届选举中表现出来,那就是所有的在野党都一再的重申没有意愿推翻政府 -- 但是很可怜的,却让执政党找到了空隙,一句“翻船”就让许多中间选民不得不把选票投给执政党 -- 不然的话,执政党若是选输了,在野党又没有能力执政 -- 那不就“翻船”完蛋了吗?

    因此,要改变选民的意向,唯一的方法就是在野党首先就必须建立起能够“单独执政”的能力,并且让选民知道在野党有这个能力才行。

    而如果只是在日子来临的时候,就像赌博一样的想分一杯羹 -- 为了有选举而选举 -- 这就是笑话 -- 因为根本就与“选贤与能”的宗旨背道而驰。

    尚达曼虽然是执政党人,但是几十年的从政经历,已经足够让人民了解他的性格,人品,能力和信心。

    然而看其它的人选呢?黄国松和吴振华就是不知道从哪儿蹦出来的“两个名字” -- 大家都知道他是一个人,而且应该也是富人 -- 除此之外,在他们的几十年的岁月里,除了知道他会赚钱以外 -- 我想知道的,是他们为新加坡这个国家、为新加坡人做了些什么呢?

    没有!是吧?

    额我觉得,如果陈清木出来竞选,我肯定就会选他了。可是,在尚达曼、吴振华和黄国松之间,已经不是鱼与熊掌的问题 -- 而是一个透明包装的和两个不透明包装的“盒子” --

    难道要赌一赌运气吗?

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...
