殷吉星的忠告：接地气，了解民情，P A P听进多少？

 殷吉星的忠告：接地气，了解民情，P A P听进多少？


前P A P议员殷吉星最近受访，建议人民行动党应该接近人民，了解人民的需要。不过，他认为P A P还是会继续牢牢控制基层组织，即使被批评，依然故我。通过基层组织接近选民，已经越来越无效，但是，党本身却找不到一条接近人民管道，只好死马当活马医。


最重要的，他指出来临的大选，无法解决新加坡面对的大问题：物价，房价。殷吉星认为，政府在这方面做得不够，几十年没有取得应有的进展。大选红包发了，问题还是无法解决。这很像国际上，流行的口号：脱钩，去风险，产能过剩。


脱钩。人民行动党已经离人民越来越远，传统的基层组织已经无法取得过去的业绩，反而让人觉得浪费国家资源，公器私用。年轻人越来越不认同P A P的做法，而且，敢以选票表示不满。


去风险。危难时刻，选民选择人民行动党。这套道理越来越不管用。除了因为李光耀过世的效用，2011和2020年的大选，已经证明新加坡选民开始意识到去风险，不能够让P A P一党独大，垄断国会。


产能过剩。国会里有太多没有作为的PAP议员和部长。新加坡过去几年，不但在人均上，也在教育上取得进步。这些议员和部长，在素质上并没有比失业的大学和理工学院毕业生好多少。国家需要养这么多无用的人，来维护P A P政权吗？为什么不让其他人有机会发表不同的声音？


脱钩，去风险，产能过剩的下一步，将减少P A P议员人数，即将来临的大选，有好戏看喔！

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...
