《破 。地狱》 疫情后反思人生, 为下一个灾难做准备?

 《破 。地狱》 

疫情后反思人生, 

为下一个灾难做准备?


逝者要破地狱,活人也需要破地狱。灾难,如新冠疫情,的确需要破一破,让人生走得顺利一点,痛苦少一点。


面对疫情,面对灾难,不同国家,不同人的命运不同。家和国都有本难念的经。同时,国家领袖、政府和家长的应对也不同。《破。地狱》是不是在某一方面也显现不同家庭,不同个人所面对的问题、遭遇、反应。


破地狱的道教仪式,已经成为非物质文化遗产。鲁迅说过,“中国根柢全在道教”, 不论是好是坏,是对是错,了解中国人,离开不道教,更离不开形而上的道家。


李显龙说新加坡人和中国人不同。但是,全球不稳定的环境下,新加坡需要额外努力维持和中国的高价值关系。我们或许有所不同,但是,不能不了解中国。


《破。地狱》引出一些突破,新的方式,新的沟通,

和新的人生反思。疫情让人,看到了什么,又失落了什么?香港尤其不幸,疫情前还发生社会动乱事件。因此,更加需要破地狱,寻求解脱,获得安慰,


《破。地狱》能不能让我们为下一次灾难做出更好的准备?疫情前疫情后,世界已经大大不同,人间地狱层出不断,新的来,旧的没有去,破了一个,另一个又来。


白居易的《自覺二首》:「置心為止水,視身如浮雲。抖擻垢穢衣,度脫生死輪。」

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...
