 大选来了,

PAP不得不顺应民情?

运气好的话,还会收到大红包?


2024年, 人民行动党好像诸事不顺, 从新易通, 英康, 再到身份证登记号码, 一直在反转. 开始推出时,似乎顺顺利利,媒体大声叫好. 最后,却不得不纠正, 道歉.  


当然, 反转, 纠正不正是顺水推舟, 顺应民情的表现吗? 大选快要来, 没有必要做出让选民反感的事情. 何况得罪的是多数人,不是少数选民. 多少人搭地铁, 多少人买保险,更加不要说每个人都有的身份证号码.


为了消除民间怨气, 讨好选民, 运气好的话,明年一开年, 政府就会宣布大红包. 一方面刺激消费, 另一方面,选民也开心, 希望大选时获得回报, 增加PAP得票.  政府不止管收钱,更加重要是如何分配钱,红包当然是一个选项.  


诸事不顺中, 也看出部长的能力. 如果观察一下,今年和两年前的人民行动党中央执行委员会的名单, 就有一位负责身份证号的女部长不再名单内, 这是不是意味她的能力出现问题, 会不会再度出来竞选?

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...
