来自资深外交官的震惊，和来自年轻一代华文拿A的震惊。

 来自资深外交官的震惊，和来自年轻一代华文拿A的震惊。


不久前，李光耀公共政策学院主办了一个思想交流会，名为“历史末端的中国震惊/惊讶”，意思是说，历史走到今天，中国带给世界，尤其是新加坡什么震惊，或许，也可以说怎样的休克？


看完整个视频，让人震惊的不是主讲人提出的什么震惊故事，而是资深外交官依据西方思维，给出震惊和未来预测让人震惊。这和马凯硕的看法有着本质上的不同。马凯硕的说法，接近李显龙在通商中国论坛的发言。


新加坡有些资深外交官，似乎还活在上个世纪，他们习惯在西方思维逻辑下，考虑东西方关系，虽然看到发展中国家，中国正在发展，但是，却拒绝深入了解例如：西藏问题。就像有位出席者问，为什么中国官员，在外不说英语?主观认为，人家不会说英语。


新加坡的震惊问题，不单是老一辈外交人员欠缺多元多文化思考，连年轻一辈也是如此。他们无形中，自我形成一种脱钩，只想在自己的舒服圈中，过着小确幸的日子。就像一位新闻工作者说，虽然华文拿到A, 但是却无法顺利用华语表达。他还说，这不是他一个人的问题，他的同伴也是如此。


我们谈了这么多通商中国，到头来，如何通？

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...
