 美其名顺应民意,

不再坚持正确的易通决策,

行动党打什么如意算盘?


即使不受欢迎,行动党政府依然会执行。李显龙说过,他之前的总理也说过。在政府眼中,只要是对的政策,即使要付出代价,行动党政府还是会执意执行。为何这次却一反常态,改变初衷,还要多付四千万元维护费用?这是谁付的代价?


精打细算的行动党,为何会顺应民意,这么快就改变自己的立场,况且,长远来看,单一系统的易通,在经济和效率上,也说得通。这个民意的背后,到底是什么?选举考虑,还是在技术上,短期内做不到系统统一,时间拉长,表现出来的无能,对于选举更加不利。


[其实,如果从四千万中拿出一小部分,奖励人们,改成易通系统,是否更加有效? 当然,地铁和公交的网速,以及为没有上网工具的人提供方便,加强全国免费上网功能,可能更加有效解决目前的困境。代价会不会成了转嫁,政府的责任转嫁?]


反正花的是公家的钱。花四千万就可以安稳人心,尤其是年长者的忠心,何乐而不为?比较严重的问题是,行动党自认深谋远虑,什么事情都考虑清楚,才推出,为何这次如此失算?当然,最容易的借口,就是新旧交通部长交接,无人监督施政。


易通系统的不再坚持,其实和其他行动党的坚持,简直是小巫见大巫。例如:消费税,交通费,产业税,水电费等等,这些大坚持,行动党就没有放松,依然故我。不止坚持,还会继续上升的坚持,美其名就是债不留后代的坚持。


或许,这是行动党的退一步海阔天空?到时我们看看天是蓝色还是白色,就知道了。当然,也许会出现红色,夕阳无限好,雨后的彩虹?

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...
