罢工之联想:自食其果还是出尔反尔。


其实,从自食其果到出尔反尔,行动党问题还是一样。地铁司机罢工事件引出来的最严重问题,恐怕是没有一个(行动党的)下属肯为(行动党的)上司而牺牲。发展到全国的层面,就是百姓不愿为国为官牺牲。

如果总理在第一时间赶到事发现场,像当年他爸爸第一时间处理新航罢工事件那样,地铁的非法罢工事件就很可能会改写了。再次一些,叫个部长或者职总秘书长出面,罢工司机看着这些高官的面,也会给面子而复工。再再次一点,人力部高官或者地铁高管出面,也能缓和局面。不论谁出面,都要有所担纲,做出一些承诺,司机的心才能平静下来。或许,没有一个高官高管敢做出什么担纲来。才让局势恶化下去。

所以,我们看到的是一辆辆的红车,一队队的镇暴队。罢工司机看到这种场面,心里会是怎么想呢?

没有一个总理的下属愿意为总理出头,在第一时间出来代表政府,或者资方跟罢工司机谈判。他们只有在事情闹大了,进入司法程序后,才开始出来说话,人力部长批评地铁公司,交通部长说考虑加薪,职总秘书长说向新巴学习,地铁总裁说会有人事大震动,这些话能为总理解忧吗?如果如此,总理为何到现在还是‘沉默是金’。

下面的人没有为上面的人解忧,地铁和人力部的下层没有向上层汇报真正的情形?经理,官员没有向高管高官汇报,高管高官没有向部长汇报,部长没有向总理汇报,结果当然就是出乱子。也有一种可能,你对下面的人不好,下面的人自然就会对你不好,没有好好的汇报。当然,下面的人也包括司机在内。你对司机不好,司机就自然的对你不好。
这使人想起孟子的出尔反尔和自食其果的故事。

《出尔反尔》出自《孟子》的《梁惠王章句下》。原指你怎样对付人家;人家就会怎样对待你。现多指自己说了或做了后,又自己反悔。比喻言行前后自相矛盾;反复无常。说话不算数。 #1

主流媒体没有报道地铁公司有没有出尔反尔,我们只能假设没有出尔反尔这么回事。但是,这件事情并不是突发事件,几个月前已经向地铁公司反映了。不知,这算不算出尔反尔。

这个故事还有一个重点:国库充沛,百姓挨饿,官员没有汇报,一旦打战,人民看着官员战死也不帮忙,很可能还拍手叫好。

这里是故事的译文:

邹国与鲁国交战。邹穆公对孟子说:我的官吏死了三十三个,百姓却没有一个为他们而牺牲的。杀他们吧,杀不了那么多;不 杀他们吧,又实在恨他们眼睁睁地看着长官被杀而不去营救。到底怎么办才好呢?
 孟子回答说:灾荒年岁,您的老百姓,年老体弱的弃尸于山沟,年轻力壮的四处逃荒,差不多有上千人吧;而您的粮仓里堆满粮食,货库里装满财宝,官吏们却从来不向您报告老百姓的情况,这是他们不关心老百姓并且还残害老百姓的表现。曾子说:小心啊,小心啊!你怎样对待别人,别人也会怎样对待你。现在就是老百姓报复他们的时候了。您不要归罪于老百姓吧!只要您施行仁政,老百姓自然就会亲近他们的领导人,肯为他们的长官而牺牲了。”#1

下层官员和下层雇员的处境如果也和巴士司机的遭遇相去不远,那么,当他们看到上层出事,也一样会抱着幸灾乐祸的心态。所以,地铁总裁才说会有人事大地震。但是,地震过后,就真的能解决问题吗?

最令人担心(还加上同情)的是总理,他辛辛苦苦努力为高官高管争取到的高薪,在最需要帮忙的时刻,却没有一个人出来替他挡上一箭。而他也只好默默无言,就像大多数新加坡人一样,属于沉默无感的人。

总理或许需要反思,什么人在最后的关头会挺身而出为国为民。高薪养廉的结果是养出一大推在关键时刻,不愿为他出头的高管高官,他还是把这个好处与人民分享比较好,因为,在这么多人中,肯定有几个人会为国为民而牺牲。

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
