大选迷思,PAP的困境9: 选区东改西改,就是想逃避现实。所谓过去的平衡,已经被打破,发展失衡了。如:60年的低工资,每年3万多新生婴儿,老人年轻人不同诉求。。。

 大选迷思,PAP的困境9:

选区东改西改,就是想逃避现实。所谓过去的平衡,已经被打破,发展失衡了。如:60年的低工资,每年3万多新生婴儿,老人年轻人不同诉求。。。


前经济发展局领头人杨烈国,在最近一次讲演中,认为,每年3万多的新生婴儿,不足够维持我国的经济发展。想要回顾SG60经济发展,他的演讲倒是可以看一下。他强烈鼓励引进人才,“绑架”东南亚和其他地区的年轻人才来新学习,成为新加坡人。批评国人缺少拼搏精神,没有饥饿感。


过去60年的经济发展,动力来自跨国公司和政联公司。制造业如此,其他服务,金融,医药也是如此。这就形成打工文化,大大降低企业精神。反映在政治也是如此。私人企业看国家脸色,也吸引不到人才。政治上,更丑化反对党,不但没有人才,品格也有问题。

行动党就是依靠这种平衡术,一党独大。选区划分也是一种平衡方法,拉东拉西,给人合情合理的幻象。不过,这个平衡,现在面临严峻考验。如何解决60年未解的低薪问题,低人口出生率,缺少好工作,高消费高物价高成本,不停高喊团结。。。2011年集选区的沦陷。


杨烈国认为只有向高增值,人工智慧,提供更好的服务发展。这和过去的发展不一样,因此,有人提问,经济发展局未来是什么角色?他希望继续扮演过去,但是却不肯定,不知道。经济发展局过去在经济上的平衡策略,事实上牺牲了企业精神。反映在政治上,变成压制反对党的制衡。


与其说,过去在政治、经济上取得平衡,不如说,这是一种不平衡的发展,牺牲了国内的原生力量,企业精神和国会制衡。寄望25-30%的中间选民,看清楚平衡与不平衡的幻象,假作真时真亦假?新加坡是否应该延续PAP路线,说了不听,听又不懂,懂又不做,做有做错,错又不认,。。。谁呀?

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...
