鸡肋，烫手山芋，行动党的选前豪赌？

 鸡肋，烫手山芋，行动党的选前豪赌？


大选要来了。选前当然要有所行动、准备。毕丹星被告，不管怎么看，即使有人否定，大家心知肚明，这跟大选有关。行动党一连带的负面新闻，自然想到冲喜、冲喜。


为了让人觉得不是伤人事件，提告方表示，只要求罚款了事，不要求坐牢。所谓的专业律师，政治评论者，也出来说明，毕丹星不会失去议员资格，国会也认为他可以继续进行议员的任务。这是鸡肋心态，又要退兵，又不想退兵，曹操最后选择退兵，行动党选择前进。结果如何？


不担心的毕丹星，还是令人放心不下。作为反对党领袖，可圈可点，可以说是胜任。这个胜任，就成了烫手芋头，山芋这么烫手，对于面对大选的执政者来说，变成一项挑战。最可怕的是，现在变成认党，不认人。最好在未羽翼丰满前，就先折损他。


新加坡人普遍认为，国会需要反对党。这是行动党的压力，不管做得怎么好，好的政党，好的候选人还是有机会中选。最近的一项爱德曼报告，全球各地普遍不信任政、商，媒体领袖。在新加坡，46%的人担心被政府领袖误导。这对高高在上的行动党来说，如何说服选民在选票划上闪电？在无法取信选民的背景下，行动党的鸡肋选择是否正确？最后会不会变成吃不到的烫手山芋？

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...
