朋党资本主义和新加坡地铁总裁新任命。如何避嫌?

 朋党资本主义和新加坡地铁总裁新任命。如何避嫌?


    英国经济学人杂志2021年的朋党资本主义名单中,新加坡排名第三。如果把朋党行业和非朋党行业加在一起,那么,我们就和俄罗斯一样,排名第一。


    什么是朋党行业?在俄罗斯就很明显,因为,它是一个能源为主的国家,朋党可以集中在这里。他们的这个百分比就很高。新加坡朋党行业比率较低,因为我们没有资源,有的是主权基金,但是,我们的非朋党行业却很大,是不是我们有很多政联公司,甚至上市公司和未上市的公司都和官僚、密友、权贵有关?


    什么是朋党资本主义?维基的第一选择认为是裙带资本主义,当然,这和‘关系’,‘权贵’,‘密友’,‘官僚’有关。 中文对于朋党的解释,可以有很多延伸,或许,我们可以联想到,朋友和非朋友的不同待遇,告不告妹妹弟弟,甚至于地铁公司新总裁的任命,是否直接和间接的和朋党资本主义有关?大家心里的标准不同,各自解读,各自评估。


    朋党资本主义的发展到最后,就演变成贪污横行。我们可以从经济学人排名第一和第二的国家中,看到和找到很多例子。


    新加坡排名第三,甚至加上非朋党行业,我们已经是第一了。难道,我们没有一点警惕和检讨都没有吗?我们如何做到避嫌?让国人认为,我们和排名第一和第二的国家不一样。新加坡之所以成功,防止贪污是重点之重。


    当然,我们也可以不把经济学人的排名当一回事,甚至认为,我们与众不同,我们是百毒不侵,贪污和我们无关。


    真的是这样吗?

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

After 60 years, after 3 failed political imaginations, the PAP is deteriorating...

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 inserting a single c
