大选迷思，PAP的困境13：

这就是PAP，将军单挑，不领军。完全没有信心收复失地。几十年的保护新人策略，已经走到尽头？

难怪，民间传言，新加坡一旦出事，有权有势的人将最先离开，当然也包括一大群所谓的将军，精英，高官。这些所谓的将军，只懂得幕后操作，与战场保持距离，根本没有胆量上前线领军。一旦出了问题，就只会在场外喊打喊杀，扮英雄。

最可悲的，竟然利用选区划分的漏洞，单独在战区外，独守空闺，在主战区（集选区）场外叫嚣，谁来和我单挑，也可以一对一，一对二，多角战，不怕。一个将军，竟然沦落到初级军官的角色，坚守一个小山头。不过，这位败将，还比一些新人好一点，他们还要依靠集选区的优势，在旧人带领下出征。

几十年来，PAP就是依赖这种保护策略，吸引候选人，设立安全区，让它不成比例的在国会拥有绝对多数。不论选区划分，还是各种各样的保护措施，总会遇到临界点，无法再像以前那样发挥功效。2025年的大选，将是考验保护网的效力，是否还可以像以前那样，如偿所愿。

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...
