大选迷思,PAP的困境1: 冗员市长,兼职议员,为民服务?

 大选迷思,PAP的困境1:

冗员市长,兼职议员,为民服务?


以特朗普新的政府效率为标准,新加坡的5个市长,将是首选被解散的职位。事实上,到底有多少人知道他们的工作是什么,到底他们如何服务人民?还有那些兼职的PAP议员,到底有多少人认识他们,或许,多数认识他们的人,都是关联他们的全职工作。


以特朗普的奋斗精神,那些通过集选区,不知如何中选,糊里糊涂当上议员的人,根本就没有资格拿国家的薪水。而偏偏在新加坡,这些lombang议员很多,身在国会,心想lobang。


这是SG60的包袱,政治遗产,说白了,这要看黄循财是否有勇气面对改革。60年的政府,不可能没有留下残渣。利用冗员,制造理由,为民服务,只不过想维持政治资本,高高在上的了解民情。新加坡人难道不知道吗?尤其是,年轻选民。


PAP已经陷入无法左右逢源的困境。不想深入民间,不想做苦工,只想通过官方管道,利用国家财政,来巩固政治上不倒,除非每天FORMA,封锁社交媒体,把不利自己的都说成假新闻,不然,无法停止民间、咖啡店交流。

60年的成长,看似欣欣向荣,不过,却遇到不少困境,冗员市长、议员,只不过冰山一角。新加坡要往前走,不是简单喊口号,全民一心,团结一致,而是如何面对执政困境,改革改变旧模式,让选民信任,新加坡明天会更好。

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...
