鸡肋,烫手山芋,行动党的选前豪赌?

  鸡肋,烫手山芋,行动党的选前豪赌? 大选要来了。选前当然要有所行动、准备。毕丹星被告,不管怎么看,即使有人否定,大家心知肚明,这跟大选有关。行动党一连带的负面新闻,自然想到冲喜、冲喜。 为了让人觉得不是伤人事件,提告方表示, 只要求罚款了事,不要求坐牢。 所谓的专业律师,政治评论者,也出来说明,毕丹星不会失去议员资格,国会也认为他可以继续进行议员的任务。这是鸡肋心态,又要退兵,又不想退兵,曹操最后选择退兵,行动党选择前进。结果如何? 不担心的毕丹星,还是令人放心不下。作为反对党领袖,可圈可点,可以说是胜任。这个胜任,就成了烫手芋头,山芋这么烫手,对于面对大选的执政者来说,变成一项挑战。最可怕的是, 现在变成认党,不认人。 最好在未羽翼丰满前,就先折损他。 新加坡人普遍认为,国会需要反对党。这是行动党的压力,不管做得怎么好,好的政党,好的候选人还是有机会中选。最近的一项爱德曼报告,全球各地普遍不信任政、商,媒体领袖。 在新加坡,46%的人担心被政府领袖误导。这对高高在上的行动党来说,如何说服选民在选票划上闪电? 在无法取信选民的背景下,行动党的鸡肋选择是否正确?最后会不会变成吃不到的烫手山芋?

POFMA? Nearly 50% Singaporeans worry the government is intentionally misleading them. How to go to GE? No wonder the G needs to spend and spend!

  POFMA? Nearly 50% Singaporeans worry the government is intentionally misleading them.  How to go to GE? No wonder the G needs to spend and spend! Can the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act also apply to government leaders? So many Singaporeans in the 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer report worry that government leaders, business leaders and journalists are intentionally misleading them.  In fact, this is the problem of the world! The Edelman report has the title: A collision of trust, innovation, and politics.     Is trusting the government and trusting the political leaders the same thing? How to detect the leaders are using the government as cover to gain political advantage? Such as spending and spending in the coming general election?  Singapore is lucky we have money we can afford to spend. And we think of the government and leaders as one identity. Oh! No. DPM Heng said the Budget 2024 was not meant to increase Singaporeans’ reliance on the government.  Ministe

泰勒丝给新加坡选民带来梦幻, 是否也带来积极向上的精神?

  泰勒丝给新加坡选民带来梦幻, 是否也带来积极向上的精神? 花巨款取得泰勒丝在东南亚的独家演出,自豪的认为这笔生意很合算,给经济带来不少好处,油水不留外人田。从某一个角度看,这是不是一种“小美国”的表现?只有独赢,别人输赢与我无关,也不值得同情,有本事就来竞争。 或许,也是基于这种独赢道理,配合年轻人的需要;同时,反对党根本捞不到好处,新加坡选民会感激政府,带来经济效益,让新加坡出现梦幻,给年轻人造梦的机会,满足心理上的追梦的需求。就如,不在乎天长地久,只在乎曾经追过梦。 泰勒丝在上回美国大选支持民主党拜登。这次大选前的超级星期二初选,泰勒丝也鼓励美国选民踊跃出来投票,这回她没有明确支持谁。她的歌曲,在一定程度上,属于反对派,边缘者,乡村而非城市的女性声音。有人说,她懂得游戏规则,懂得利用这些规则,却有意无意的背叛它。或许,这就是吸引霉迷的地方。 行动党政府会不会在即将来临的大选,取得有如泰勒丝式的独赢,现在评论为时过早。行动党给年轻人带来短暂的梦幻,梦幻过后,新加坡人还是要回到现实。最为重要的是,我们有没有看到泰勒丝梦幻背后的精神:反对、边缘、背叛、利用规则又背叛它。 行动党或许只是看到铜板的一面,纸币的一角,而没有看到整个大局。梦幻毕竟不是现实,尤其是时间一过,快感过了,梦幻与现实的距离越来越大,独赢的机会就越来越小。

Strange? Why do people first seek help from WP not the government or PSP? Who is promoting populism?

  Strange? Why do people first seek help from WP not the government or PSP? Who is promoting populism?  Different approaches to the plight of the vulnerable - who politicised the matter?

No Full Funding because of Failed Propaganda. Failed KPIs.

  No Full Funding because of Failed Propaganda. Failed KPIs. Cut funding. No full funding.  As reported,  (SMT) did not meet key performance indicators for digital reach, youth reach, vernacular reach and average time spent on its websites and apps. This proves the ineffectiveness of mainstream media.  No wonder, the US Ambassador to Singapore sees ‘no need’ to deal with Singapore’s traditional media. He prefers to use social media. The irony is this is also the state of the PAP’s propaganda. The past effective propaganda machine is no longer reaching the youth, the community, and social media.  People are unwilling to spend time reading the state sponsored propaganda.  What is next?

No Babies. Who flies the F35?

  No Babies. Who flies the F35? Singapore’s birth rate hit the historical low of 0.97, well below the replacement level.  The world’s lowest birth rate is South Korea, hitting the new low of 0.72. It seems money cannot solve the problem as shown in the case of South Korea, despite her $270 billion financial incentive.  When money cannot solve the problem, it becomes a real problem with no answers and solutions. There is a Chinese saying, “when money can solve a problem, it is not a problem.”   No babies. Who do you think would fly the F35 in Singapore, Japan and South Korea?  All these are low birth rate countries. Maybe, perhaps, foreign talents again. In the near future, foreign talents will be guarding our defence, and of course, our reserves.  Where is the Singapore core?
