How can $9,000 compensate the sacrifices of NSmen?
在鸡毛蒜皮的牛角尖兜圈子,这是新加坡人的肤浅,也是新加坡人的悲哀。为了一点儿蝇头小利,新加坡人就可以争论得沸沸扬扬,这也间接的证明了老李蔑视新加坡人无知的真实、直接证明了执政党为何可以长期将新加坡人如猴子一样来耍的原因。 对新加坡男性公民来说,两年全职国民服役、十几二十几年因军阶不同的战备军役,牺牲之大,是完全不能以物质价值来衡量的。在这一方面,所有的新加坡国民服役军人的品质就比政府内阁的为了黄金而服务国家的私心高尚多了。 简单的说,我们的军人,为了保家卫国,绝对不能和政府一样的抱着市侩的心理,斤斤计较糖果是否分得公平。因此,为了过去对国家的牺牲而要求政府补偿,这样的心态只不过是落人口实,亵渎了为了爱国而服役的本质。 因此,对我来说,其实更为逼切的,却还是骑劫了国民爱国的精神,而剥削国民物质、给予国民服役战士超微薄津贴的政策。建国伊始,国家百废待兴,国防完全是空城计。那时候,建军是逼切的要务,因此给予服役军人象征性的津贴,是完全可以谅解的。然而,四十多年来,国库充盈,新加坡再也不是吴下阿蒙。那么,我就是一直想不明白,政府公务员都相应的水涨船高,政府内阁藉着高薪养廉,薪酬甚至调高了数十倍。然而,这些在野外操练时就得忍受风吹雨打,精神肉体都受尽折磨的国民服役军人,却依旧受着低薄的津贴的剥削。 爱国是没有代价的,那是属于精神上的层次。然而,国家却有这个责任,不能不在物质上给予服役军人适当的酬报,让他们能够维持生活的尊严。就在前天,新加坡武装部队派出特遣队到亚丁湾协助国际社会打击海盗。张志贤说:“我们一直都被指派负责这条国际航道上海盗发动攻击风险最高的水域。这显示国际联合特遣队对我国特遣队所展现的高度专业能力具有信心。” 什么是风险最高的水域呢?这就是说我们的军人碰到的出状况的机会也就大。那么,由221名海陆空三军官兵组成的特遣队,有多少个国民服役将士呢?我很难想象,我们的内阁政府在享受着超级高薪养廉的酬劳,在府邸里高枕安眠,享受着这些军人为彼等带来的幸福时,竟然没有一丝儿羞耻心,想想这些抱着生命危险的同胞,牺牲如此巨大,每月的薪酬竟然买不起一台ipod、一架iphone,真是情何以堪啊? 往事已矣,来者可追。我们这些国民服役的过来人,既然基于爱国,付出了最大的心血,就不必斤斤计较过去,反而是应该慎思未来。因此,是时候调整给国民服役军人恰当的待遇的时候了。又要马儿好、又要马儿不吃草绝对不是一个有良心的政府的心态。新加坡男性公民,时间和精神上的损失是没有代价可以弥补的,也不须弥补。然而,在物质上的代价,代表国家的政府就必须把我们的子弟兵当人。 不是吗?挥几下扫帚,洗几下厕所,都能够有1千8百的。而随时准备抛头颅、洒热血的国民服役军人,报酬却这么可怜呢?

冰冻三尺非一日之寒
多年来,老一辈的新加坡人为了改善家人的生活,忍气吞声地在执政党的高压下过活。对社会上许多不公平、不道德的事情都不敢啃声。近年来,政府以一贯不透明、不咨询的态度急速的让大量的外劳与移民涌入,但年薪猛涨到两百万美金的部长们却不能有效地预测到所带来的各种后果,让老百姓的日常生活如工作、收入、孩子入学、交通、就医、社会风气、家庭和谐等等都受到严重的影响,破坏了国人与执政党多年来心照不宣的无形契约。 政府部门对各种管理不当的事故却继续采取一贯不承认、不重视、不说真话及不道歉的官僚应对态度,这更激起国民的怒气,一夜之间,怨声四起。大选将近,年轻选民更在意执政党会利用改变选区范围及操纵媒体的不公平手段来保护政权。 以目前的情况来看,即使今年的国内生产总值会回弹到双位数以上,政府大概不敢在今年内解散国会进行大选。因为GDP的增长已不能确保普罗大众会继续支持目前的执政党。 李氏政权即将成为过去,正如前政府高官严崇涛先生日前的谈话,李光耀作风如果继续被延续将很大程度的威胁到新加坡长远的兴亡。当今国家急需的是政治生态上的大革新。执政党中不乏智者,应以国家为重,对选民更有信心,以公平、谦卑的作风与选举途径从新赢取国民的委任,即使输掉几个议席也未偿不是一件好事。 人民行动党到目前为止是功大于过,但历史潮流、中庸之道,顺者苍,逆者亡,屡见不鲜。如果坚持不改,最终一定会同台湾的国民党一样,被选民所唾弃,丢了政权、害了国家,成为历史的罪人。 NGIAM...
PM’s National Day Rally was well rehearsed and well delivered
I thought the PM’s National Day Rally was well rehearsed and well delivered. He hears our complaints and grouses and is reacting on them. He shows that he is close to the ground, in touch with the people, by showing personal examples of people he had contact with. His government is working very hard to solve all these...
