泰勒丝给新加坡选民带来梦幻, 是否也带来积极向上的精神?

 泰勒丝给新加坡选民带来梦幻,

是否也带来积极向上的精神?


花巨款取得泰勒丝在东南亚的独家演出,自豪的认为这笔生意很合算,给经济带来不少好处,油水不留外人田。从某一个角度看,这是不是一种“小美国”的表现?只有独赢,别人输赢与我无关,也不值得同情,有本事就来竞争。


或许,也是基于这种独赢道理,配合年轻人的需要;同时,反对党根本捞不到好处,新加坡选民会感激政府,带来经济效益,让新加坡出现梦幻,给年轻人造梦的机会,满足心理上的追梦的需求。就如,不在乎天长地久,只在乎曾经追过梦。


泰勒丝在上回美国大选支持民主党拜登。这次大选前的超级星期二初选,泰勒丝也鼓励美国选民踊跃出来投票,这回她没有明确支持谁。她的歌曲,在一定程度上,属于反对派,边缘者,乡村而非城市的女性声音。有人说,她懂得游戏规则,懂得利用这些规则,却有意无意的背叛它。或许,这就是吸引霉迷的地方。


行动党政府会不会在即将来临的大选,取得有如泰勒丝式的独赢,现在评论为时过早。行动党给年轻人带来短暂的梦幻,梦幻过后,新加坡人还是要回到现实。最为重要的是,我们有没有看到泰勒丝梦幻背后的精神:反对、边缘、背叛、利用规则又背叛它。


行动党或许只是看到铜板的一面,纸币的一角,而没有看到整个大局。梦幻毕竟不是现实,尤其是时间一过,快感过了,梦幻与现实的距离越来越大,独赢的机会就越来越小。

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...
