新马华教: 一个为失败找借口。 一个宁可倒在征途。

 新马华教:

一个为失败找借口。

一个宁可倒在征途。


在新加坡,不论官方还是非官方,人们的普遍认知趋向华教失败。我们不但离‘曾经东南亚华文中心’很远,而且,大多数华人,也认为无需执着,接受‘去中文,去华文’的现实。

新加坡可以说是一个最成功的’去本族文化‘最成功的例子。不论自愿还是非自愿,甚至,我们还引以为荣。这么一来,我们就需要找种种借口,为失败找理由。例如:英文太强势,还有科技颠覆?科技颠覆是怎么一回事,是如何做到利用华文上太空、推出高新产品、避开微微软的软件危机?

马来西亚的确和新加坡不同。虽然有自愿和非自愿的因素,不过确实有个人和团体愿意倒在华教的征途。与此同时,也有华基政党,选择不一样的征途,而在另一类的征途中倒下,马华、民政,下一个会不会是火箭?

马来西亚的华教前途的确不明朗。华教当然不是理所当然。不但如此,政治的现实,华族生育率低,害怕报考华文,精英让孩子上国际学校等问题,正在考验马来西亚华人的执着、耐力,是否有必要挺身而出,加入征途,继续维护华教?

新加坡和马来西亚选择不一样的华教道路。一个接受现实,一个定义为征途。一个选择方便路,一个偏向虎山行。这两种选择,当时并没有考虑今天中国的发展。事实上,科技创新,不一定要用英文,就像世界已经进入多极,而非英语独霸天下。

这两种选择,会不会一前一后的殊途同归?还是,马来西亚华人,以及友族的同情者,继续认同华教作为征途,对马来西亚的将来,是一项利好,配合新时代发展的选项。千万不要认为当下的华教是一种理所当然。新加坡把它当成理所当然,自由学习,自由选择,最后就找种种借口来为理所当然圆场。

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...
