 大选迷思,PAP的困境8:

可负担组屋,黑白屋,洋楼,

贫富悬殊的写照。

是非对错如何摆平选民?


政府说人民买得起组屋,负担得起。政府也说出租黑白屋给部长,部长买洋楼,也是依法办事。不论公屋还是私屋,合情合理,依个人能力,负担得起,也住得起。不论租屋还是拥屋,却活生生的呈现贫富悬殊的新加坡。


一方面中下层为组屋的负担性辩论,这是大多数人关心的大众问题。不想成为房奴,更加不愿意长期住在出租房。不论租组屋还是拥有99年使用期,都是要出钱的,没有免费午餐。除非,公积金的钱不是大众的钱,那就无所谓了。


另一方面,政府却有黑白屋出租,喜欢的话,也可以拥有有地洋房,私人公寓。这部分小众,当然,不用理组屋负担与否的争论,也不用担心租不起的问题。有钱就是任性,想买想租,随意。大众与小众,截然不同的两个世界。


政府一直努力的解释,甚至推出大数据,各种资料来自圆其说。60年来,PAP从大众走向小众,关心的是小众的利益,例如:亿万富豪制造就业机会,外来人才带来创新,更不用说人人负担得起的大众消费税, 而不是小众富人税。


谁才是带领国家上路的众?大众,小众,是非对错?人才,睿智领袖,富豪,这些小众可以协助新加坡迈向未来,可是,这些人是否拥有一颗与大众齐心前进的心?单从住房租房,就看出不同路。有钱人也可以租房,那叫套利、投资,精算。


行动党政府在处理这些问题上,似乎头头是道。表面功夫做足。反对声音一出现,就被反驳,甚至压下。但是,贫富悬殊,住房租房一对照,起跑点不一样,如何摆平不平衡的心。

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...
