李光耀否認專制

作者:星洲日報

2009.10.24

新加坡資政李光耀強調,如果他獨斷專制,就不可能帶領新加坡人擺脫貧窮,並把這個小國發展成現代化國家。

即將訪美的李光耀接受美國公共電視網(PBS)“查理.羅斯秀” (Charlie Rose show) 主持人專訪時,被問到“難道他從不覺得新加坡太過專制了嗎?”的問題時,作出回應說:“我的職務是發展新加坡,讓每個人有不錯的生活和受良好教育。而新加坡是東亞地區擁有受過最好教育國民的國家,我們有3所大學,第4所大學也要完成了。”

主持人接著問:“所以,只要結果是好的,不管用甚麼手段都沒關係了?”

李光耀說:“我們所取得的成果是值得讚賞的,每個人都想要這樣的成果,每個人都要有好的教育和好的醫療保健。這意味著我獲得新加坡人民的認可與支持。如果他們反對我、不跟我合作,就不可能有所建樹。”

此外,李光耀表示,新加坡必須對世界有價值才能繼續生存。

“我們必須不斷改變,你不可能故步自封,而能繼續對他人有用。世界已在改變,世界地緣政治和經濟重心都在轉移,你必須密切觀察、隨勢發展。我們一直和美國、日本和歐洲保持聯繫,他們使我們發展到今日的水平。”

想問奧巴馬兩問題

另外,被問到如果他見到美國總統奧巴馬,會問甚麼問題時,李光耀說想問兩個問題,一是21世紀太平洋會否出現強權爭奪戰?因為這個地區是增長的來源與全球經濟重心所在。二是美國如何處理龐大財政赤字及讓美元回穩。因為只有解決這些棘手問題,美國才有力量主導太平洋。

他認為一旦美國赤字和美元的情況惡化,並被全球金融業者、銀行家與對衝基金等視為無法解決的話,他們將開始把資產從美國轉移到其他地方,到時會出現災難。

“你不可能累積龐大的赤字而無計可施,人們會說,這已經無藥可救了。”

他表示,控制赤字及穩定美元,將影響美國的世界領導地位。白宮週五(10月23日)說,奧巴馬下週將在白宮會見李光耀。

談到他對奧巴馬的印象時,李光耀認為奧巴馬能言善道、很有說服力,“而他也非常能幹,委任很多 人才進入政府擔任要職。最令我印象深刻的是,他委任了不同想法的專才擔任要職。比方說,在他的經濟班子裡面,就有(國家經濟委員會主任)薩默斯和(白宮經 濟復甦顧問委員會主席)沃爾克,這兩位都具有堅定的觀點和想法。”

中國需至少100年才能達美國科技水平

李光耀認為,儘管中國今後幾十年都會持續增長、也要趕超美國,但要達到美國的生活與科技的水平,需要至少100年。

“現在這一代中國人明白,他們無法同西方特別是美國較量,舉凡科技尤其是軍事科技,更是如此。”

況且,美國是個全面對外來移民和專才開放的大國,中國現階段還不是,儘管他們也在招攬海外中國專才回國。因此李光耀估計21世紀前50年依然會是美國在多極化的世界格局中主導大局,但後50年就必須與中國和印度共同主導。

他說,中國很高興保持現有的發展模式,不喜歡別人教他們怎麼做。這是因為,歷史悠久的中國有5000年的文明、有強烈的民族自豪感,他們已經透過去年舉辦奧林匹克運動會和今年慶祝60週年國慶,對外展示會以自己的方式發展起來。
