A win-win election?

May 10th 2011, 03:48

I have already seen the given linked articles post by Singapore’s Strait Times because I cannot understand what Banyan want to comment on. Just like the above readers’ thought, in my opinion, Banyan does the better political choice of helping People’s Active Party continue holding power because the former Prime Minister Lee Kuan-Yew is one of the most famous readers of the Economist from his founding of this city country and Banyan only wants to sell this magazine forever in Singapore (I guess many people omit this point while their reading).

According to the Strait Times’ report, the opposition moves forward in this election. There are more and more political figures that never heard appearing in Singapore. This city country is mainly facing the inadequate allocation between the poor and the rich. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Lee Hsien-Loong has opened many foreigners by offering them benefit while their investing biotechnology and information technology. The government is now facing some embarrassment like 2004 Liberal Democratic Party’s Koizumi Junichiro’s structural reform. After this election, Lee Hsien-Loong tells the people that the government’s priority is to improve citizen’s lives. If this problem is becoming bigger and Lee Hsien-Loong still gives the wrong direction, PAP will probably follow LDP’s way to losing anything.

I dislike Lee Kuan-Yew and his son for his so special views about foreign affairs and their thoughts similar to Kuomingtung such as “there are the close tie between Economic Financial indicators and the polls”. I don’t deny that from 2006-2007 Lee Hsien-Loong’s policy results in demonstrating their ability and the best economy in Asia in recent five years, but this policy sacrifices more and more the poor, so his support is becoming weaker. And I don’t want to tell other…..just want to tell Lee Hsien-Loong a joke or metaphor---you can brush up a TV soap opera in 1986, “An invincible Empress Wu Ze-Tian” and sing this song, maybe you can regain some ideas from this opera and know the reason why your party is shrinking.

這寫於2011新加坡國會大選揭曉之後一週內，當然一種拳擊賽贏者全拿的制度，人民行動黨只要有各區過半一些就是輕而易舉過三分之二。政治上跟武則天戲劇風潮流行的1980年代仍然差不多，威權民主制繼續穩定新加坡經濟。前年本有稍負成長，最後亦有15-20%年成長率，李顯龍總理得以和選民交代而連任，其重視及扶持生技和資訊科技業的政策成功。新加坡彼時所困擾的貧富不均然而擴大了許多，這有反映在選民投票上。人民行動黨的得票數變少了一些。

這篇之後常常會拿歌曲作結直到前年初左右，除了此後幾篇少數幾首。說這相關主題有很無聊的也有很有趣的。點點歌也點點心情。
