向前看,而不是为过去歌功颂德。 黄循财前面的挑战,更加严峻。

 向前看,而不是为过去歌功颂德。

黄循财前面的挑战,更加严峻。


【4G是思考年代?《携手前进》鼓励非物质思考,处处为人着想,尽社会责任,为国家献身。。。却又不放松言论管制。鼓励一言堂,听不进他音,将导致失衡。或许,反而让更多反对声音出现。】


和父亲相比,李显龙的功绩再怎么伟大,也不如李光耀。歌功颂德李显龙,反而遮蔽了黄循财所面对的问题,不论是经济,政治,还是来临的大选。李显龙和黄循财的天时地利人和不同,命与运也不一样。


黄循财和人民行动党的竞选策略,应该围绕在《携手前进新加坡》。在政策和施政上,也是根据《携手前进》来进行。在很大程度上,行动党的战绩取决于选民是否对《前进》的认同。


政府的一项民意调查显示,超过三分一的人,36%,对于黄循财出任总理无感。另外,只有53%的人认同黄循财的能力。低于半数的人认为,黄循财可信 (40%),是强的领导者(28%),和诚实(28%)。


《携手前进新加坡》作为新的社会契约,强调非物质生活的追求。非物质显得有点形而上的思考,什么是成功的定义?过去的5C成功模式,已经不适用于未来。或许说,我们必须降低人们的物质追求,高薪水,肥缺的梦想。而把生活、生命的意义,放在更加高和广的人生追求。


用比较浅白的话,我们过去追求金钱,经济和稳定发展,未来我们要做哲学思考。因为,我们要为成功下一个新的定义。这是我们过去50年不鼓励的事情,甚至压制它的发展。思考会带来各种各样的竞争,多元意见的产生。


因此,《携手前进》是矛盾的。面对年轻一代,它鼓励不同的成功定义,多元的生活方式,它希望人民多多思考,而且是非物质的探讨。另一方面,在政治上,在社交媒体上,却又要加以管制、控制。它似乎在寻求一种不可能的平衡,又要人民想,又要人民的想法和政府的立场一致。


人民行动党一直强调,选民应该给于它强而有力的支持。上述的平衡,在过去成功,将来未必。不鼓励思考的年代,又拥有一流的团队,虽然政治上高压制,过去的选民看在经济表现上,让人民行动党独领风骚。 


未来却未必如此。因为,在物质上,政府已经越来越难以满足人们的需求,就像组屋200万,政府只能希望不出现不理性买家。这是鸵鸟心态。选举有时出现非理性的结果,而且常常发生。这怎么说好呢!如何说才合理?

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...
