选贤与能,拒绝平庸


晚报一向来都是工人党的忠实支持者,这的确很难得。这可从后港补选到现在晚报对工人党的报道可以看得出来。毕竟在新加坡的政治环境下还能有个主流媒体的报章如此拥护一个反对党,实在是得来不易啊!

可是支持归支持,可别以过分扭曲的角度去报道和打击站在不同立场的人士哦!(那当然是指我啦!)

就有如以上这篇报道,非常断定的说“多数网民认为字里行间酸溜溜”,不知情的人可要被误导了!因为我翻查了这面簿的留言,竟然发现有超过二十几位网友赞成我的说法而按了“赞”,而对我言论不满的人也只不过是那几位工人党超忠实的死硬支持者,屈指可数,这又这么算是“多数”呢?也许晚报主编应该给这记者重新配戴新眼镜了,或送去上几堂统计数学课吧!这样有缺事实的报道,可大可小,但对贵报的信誉(如有的话)可能会造成不必要的损害啊!

我这人是有话直说,不会拐弯抹角。有人认为这样才不失真,但有更多人认为这是“无知”,甚至是认为是“白痴“的也大有人在,真是见仁见智。当然,许多人都认为做为”政治人物“,就应该圆滑一点,应该”政治正确“一点。可是那不是叫搞政治的人物都要隐藏真心,而说些讨好人的假话吗?我可不认同这种虚情假意啊!

 说到我的言论重点,这可是重要话题了。有许多人对工人党从上次大选至今的表现都感失望,就连晚报所采访的”政治观察家“也说”表现平平“。其实说穿了,这只是客套话(政治正确的圆滑)。什么是”表现平平“呢?那就是表现平庸了。工人党的表现乏善可陈,这是众人有目共睹的事实。陈硕茂从一开始就俯首称臣的说要做大无畏的”魏征“,那么皇帝肯定是行动党了。这也算不了什么的,胜者为王,败者为寇是自古真言平常事。但是魏征是大无畏,讲真话,说实事的人(是不是有点像我这样无知,白痴的人一样呢?一笑!),而且绝对不会畏首畏尾的不敢吭声的懦夫。但是怎么才过了一年有多,我们的魏征竟然成为了政策沉默的魏征了呢?

 工人党打着”第一世界国会“的旗号进入国会,但在国会里尽问些芝麻绿豆的小事,如猫狗和小鸟粪便的问题,难道真的在也没有国家议题可陈上国会大厅议论了吗?为何没尽早把AIM这样损害选民利益的政治手段提上议会大堂?

就算是能拿高分的部长薪金辩论工人党也搞到一团糟,还被行动党真正在国会大堂狠狠的”酸“ (冷嘲热讽)了一顿。工人党议员在国会大堂上被揭发是文抄公这事不提也罢了。我这在面簿的网络小空间小小”酸“工人党并没什么大不了的,但在所谓的”第一世界国会“大堂上被对手大肆羞辱一番,情何以堪啊!当我们认为最坏的过去了,工人党竟然闹出了婚外情丑闻。这丑闻是丑在工人党一开始就不懂得如何去处理善后!拖拖拉拉的被丑闻纠缠了几乎整整一个月才以孔明挥泪斩马谡方式了结了。这危急处理能力真是叫人怀疑!当尘埃落定后,我们以为可以补选了事,但就在补选期间,候选人竟然被泄露的议会记录质疑在电视访问中所说不实!补选终于在后港人的宽容下圆满结束。也就在我们以为从此会风平浪静时,又被居民爆出工人党在管辖区内以幸运抽奖为利诱,收买对翻新支持的选票!这对于反对党一向抨击执政党以组屋翻新来收买选票是一种多么大的讽刺和打击啊!简直变成了小巫见大巫了!

工人党这种种的一切,是多么令人痛心啊!这一些平庸的表现,跟所谓的“信心”一点关系也没有。 我左思右想,怎么也想不出与”晚报政治观察家“所说的”信心“有任何关系,倒是想到也许有些事是跟工人党太过自信,自满和自大有关吧。我很难想象在这短短的一年半载里头,工人党竟然会失误频频,那么接下来的三、四年到底要怎么过啊!这不是多点信心就能解决的问题!

更令人费解的是,晚报的政治观察家竟然说要给工人党多赢一个议席,那么就更会有信心表现了!这真是似是而非的谬论!曾何几时我们已经抛弃了选贤与能的核心价值观而拥抱了奖赏平庸的道路呢?我们应该坚持选贤与能,拒绝平庸才对啊!

如果失去这份坚持,到最后新加坡的政治肯定不会成为”第一世界级“而将会沦为平庸无能的第九流混沌污潭了!

如果工人党为短暂的政治利益,在现有的团队还没调整和整顿好就参选的话,就算是真的给它赢得多一个议席,那也只会增加平庸误事的风险。这尤其是,很显然的,从后港补选工人党所推出的后选人看来,已经凸现了它蜀中无大将的窘境了。

工人党如今应该闭门思过,韬光养晦,重新整顿一下队伍,重新出发,才能不负众望的兑现它的政治使命和承诺。

事事无绝对,不是每一样事情必须多就是最好的。议员贵精不贵多。 如果既有的议员还未精,那就得先闭门练兵了。这时候让贤是为上策。

后记:我这篇文章,肯定会引来非议,但是眼看工人党如此的表现,真是痛心疾首。爱之深,痛之切。

非平庸, 是智举, 是自保, 留得青山在, 才能助人民.
Ms Lim revealed "their" plot at the right time.
Dont forget Mr J B Jeyaretnam and Dr Chee's incidents. WP acted wisely.

Hi Meng Seng,

This is my first time visiting your blog. Firstly, I am heartened that you seem to be one of those bloggers who seem genuinely concerned about Singapore, so I am glad to be here:). Honestly, I too think Sylvia Lim acted very wisely ...it seems that PAP has fallen into some sort of trap...either that or Ms Lim is one shrewd character (one needs to be so to be in politics, in my opinion) trying to get out of her own predicament...of course, just my opinion:)...I used to read things about local politics (Mr Wang etc), but I don't think I have the brain for it somehow...I like to leave you my personal doubt, if I may, hoping that perhaps you can help me out: The more I read about politics, the more I realised that politics, as a science or art of governing, is not something that someone who has no such "professional experience", can understand or execute. So, having said that, why are we "commoners", who supposingly know nuts about politics, talking about how should the political parties act? And having said that, this national conversation thing going on, it's all just basically lip service, isn't it? Eventually, the governing political party will do things that it thinks suit Singapore best. And we, as citizen, legally speaking, can only have our say every 5 years during election? And I am no professor, but I really don't know: being commoners and knowing nuts about politics, how do we know we have voted for the right party? I don't know, really. I am just going with the flow nowadays, and I don't like what I read in newspaper every day: lip service and more lip service.

吳前秘書長說得有理,工人黨是應該反省

我认为工人党处理得有人性啊!至少保护了女当事人没让她曝露在众人睽睽之下。难道你欣赏行动党的方式,公开道歉后便十问九不答,并且把女当事人曝露并丑化以保男当事人的受害形象?

你又会如何处理呢?

工人党比较有人义

前天我经过一家客栈,进去歇歇脚,却让我听到一则江湖传闻:

“话说当下武林两大门派,也就是白衣帮跟铁锥帮为了逐鹿中原,正闹得白热化,而铁锥帮又微占上风。这时便有人想要拉白衣帮一把,但如果在这非常时期正面向铁锥帮找碴,必然会招惹武林同道的非议。为了不让自己被摆在风头浪尖,这位仁兄便使出一个《围魏救赵》的计谋,先看准一个草包,刻意轻轻挑拨一下,而这位草包果然沉不住气,立刻跳了出来,张牙舞爪,长篇大论的“酸”了铁锥帮一把,接下来如果铁锥帮也中计来个大反击,那武林猫仔队必然可以大做文章,大标题写着“铁锥帮和某某某大打口水战”,这一来不但可以转移武林人士的视线焦点,暂时忘却蓝白(AIM)之争。。。”

我很好奇到底那个被称为“草包”的到底是何方神圣,一路打听,便来到这儿。。。

哈哈!那么我应该把这里换个名,叫草包客栈了!:)

我这小小文章“救”不了蓝铁锤的。事实归事实,这当儿有两个不同重点事件,一是白蓝拿选民利益来打的口水战,二就是补选问题。各不相干。

对于白蓝的口水战,我想两边应先各打三十大板才对。白方做的肯定是错的,蓝方自去年问题出现时一直不吭声,到了人家质疑它的管治能力时才用这作为借口,只是为了保护自己的声誉,根本不是为了履行保护选民利益的职责,这算什么?

@mrdes,

The only reason you need to care about politics and become an active citizen is because every damn policy made by those people up there, in parliament, will affect all your family members, your children future.

You do not need to understand all the nitty gritty workings of the government but only how each and every policy will affect you. You don't need to study the whole course on Economics or Public Policy making, just have a little awareness of how Economics work and what impact on your lives with every tweaks they make to economic directions.

We do not need to wait till GE before we can make our stance and voice heard. Active Citizenry with the help of modern technology, can put pressures on those in the ruling position.

Yes, the Nat Con is just a National Sales Talk but that doesn't mean we should stop to make our voices heard. Democracy is moving forward with the help of modern technology. As much as the establishment wants to discredit the online voices, we should make the voices stronger by having a wider scope and depth in our effort.

很多人以为工人党在饶欣龙事件上“保护”了女当事人,那简直是大错特错!这是掩耳盗铃的态度!网上的流传已经把当事人的名字都写了出来,而饶被革职以后,主流媒体也把女当事人写得有声有色,这算是“保护”吗?

没回应并不见得是保护女当事人哦!据我所知,女当事人很有可能是“无罪”的,根本没有与饶有任何不道德的关系!如果她真是被人嫉妒而诬蔑,那谁来还她清白呢?如果她只为了遵从党和饶的指示,没第一时间澄清自己的清白。。。到最后,自己吃了大亏!

这是很有可能发生的。
