This is not a game of cardsThis is not a game of cards I can appreciate parties wanting to hold their cards close to their chest, but the smoke and mirrors games on nominations day, the shuffling of the DPM from a seat he had openly been declared to be defending, and other ministers shuffling constituencies leaves one feeling the PAP thinks it is playing a game of cards. Constituency...

我们是否该重新思考国防开支的优先顺序?

我们是否该重新思考国防开支的优先顺序?

新加坡政府近日宣布将采购两艘额外的“无畏级”潜艇,引发了一个重要问题:我们的国防力量,到底需要多强? 毫无疑问,一个强大且可信的军队对于保障国家主权与威慑潜在威胁是不可或缺的。新加坡地处战略要冲,国土面积有限,因此需要一支现代化的武装部队。然而,当我们对比邻国——马来西亚拥有两艘潜艇、印尼正逐步扩展至十二艘——新加坡在水下战力上已处于领先地位。这不禁让人质疑,我们是否正引领着一场无声的区域军备竞赛? 问题在于:当威慑的需求被满足后,继续扩军是否已经超出必要? 一艘“无畏级”潜艇的估价超过十亿新元,还不包括长期的运营与维护成本。这两艘新潜艇的资金,若能转用于迫切的民生需求,例如医疗保健、老龄化支援、教育及弱势群体扶助,或许对社会的整体韧性更具意义。 政府一再强调国防开支是经过审慎规划的,但当生活成本日益上升,政府却仍需将消费税(Gst)提高至9%甚至更多,这种矛盾不禁令人困惑。如果某些战略性国防项目能够延后或循序推进,节省下来的资源是否可以用于社会发展呢? “全面防卫”不仅仅是硬件实力,更是要赢得人民的心与信任。让人民感到安心、有保障、受到重视,这种安全感无法靠潜艇来衡量,而是通过每一位国人的生活实感体现出来。 这并非是在呼吁削弱我们的国防,而是呼吁我们重新思考国家的优先事项。当我们继续推进军事现代化的同时,也不要忽视同样重要的任务——巩固社会契约、增强国民凝聚力。   Cwc-Ai

2025大选—明确授权,变化中的政治格局

2025大选—明确授权,变化中的政治格局

2025年大选结果无可争议,政府再次赢得了强有力的授权,稳固了其在新加坡政治格局中的主导地位。尽管选举结果并不令人意外,但胜利的过程却并非没有争议和复杂性。 值得注意的是,选区划分的变化在本次选战中发挥了重要作用。陈清木医生与徐顺全医生等资深反对派人物,因选区重划而受到显著影响——传统支持基础被分割或并入他区,无疑左右了某些关键选区的最终结果。虽然选区调整在新加坡选举历史上并不罕见,但其公平性与透明度仍持续引发讨论。 工人党虽稳守东北区的传统堡垒,但未能在本届大选中攻下新的选区。不过,该党仍获得两个非选区议员(Ncmp)席位,虽属安慰性质,却在象征意义上维持了国会内多元声音的存在。 更值得关注的是,本届大选所处的人口背景正经历剧烈变化。新加坡人口从2000年的约300万增长至2025年的超过500万。考虑到多年来出生率持续偏低,这一增长几乎可以肯定主要归因于移民流入,尤其可能在华人群体中增长显著。这一趋势对国家的社会结构和政治生态产生了深远影响。 展望2030年大选,各政党不仅要面对一如既往的选区调整与突发的全球事件,更需正视一个不断演变的社会结构。随着越来越多新移民成为国民,选民构成日益多元,政党在政策制定与信息传递上必须更具包容性与前瞻性。他们必须同时争取老一代公民与新加坡新公民的认同,回应共同关切,并跨越代际与文化差异的鸿沟。 在新加坡持续向前迈进的过程中,其政治也必须与时俱进——反映日益多元的人口现实,同时坚守国家的核心价值观:团结、韧性与务实。 Cwc-Ai

联合声明与协议不符 刘国栋指责乒总虚假

联合声明与协议不符 刘国栋指责乒总虚假

以英文草拟的联合声明与协议不符,我国国家乒乓球队前总教练刘国栋指责新加坡乒乓总会态度虚假。 刘国栋昨天受访时透露,他与乒总前晚临时约谈了几十分钟,对方给他看的联合声明草稿不但只以英文撰写,而且内容与第一次会谈时达成的协议不一样,让他感到十分气愤。 现为印尼国家队总教练兼技术顾问的刘国栋(35岁)说:“我们昨天临时谈了几十分钟,但和之前见面时谈的有出入。我觉得,他们都在针对我,我对昨天的会谈感到很气愤,他们的态度很假,一点都不诚恳。” 刘国栋在去年北京奥运会上带领李佳薇、王越古和冯天薇摘下女团银牌,为新加坡赢得48年来的首枚奥运奖牌。不过,女乒获得乒总提名,成功拿下最佳队伍(单项)奖的同时,刘国栋却没有被提名角逐最佳教练奖。 乒总在声明草稿中承认 刘国栋协助夺牌有贡献 据了解,乒总在这份用电脑打印的联合声明草稿中表示,乒总承认刘国栋去年对新加坡夺取奥运银牌作出的贡献,但在草稿中澄清刘国栋在担任国家队总教练期间没有任何不诚实行为的同时,也重申总会有权提名或不提名任何人角逐新加坡体育奖,并认同当初不提名刘国栋的决定,而刘国栋也明白这个决定。 刘国栋曾在上个星期五与乒总秘书长孙敏慎和总裁周树声在香格里拉大酒店会面,三人针对他要求乒总会长李美花作出澄清一事,谈了约两个小时。刘国栋会谈后表示,孙敏慎和周树声“态度友善”,但他们当时无法做决定,因此双方说好再定时间约谈,而且双方当时异口同声表示,和解的可能性很高。 然而,刘国栋显然对草稿内容许多地方非常不满,他说:“我看不懂英文,他们却带了一份英文的文件来,太过分了。他们跟我解释的内容,和我找朋友翻译(草稿)的内容不同。我不满(草稿内容)的地方很多,他们说我知道得不了(最佳教练奖),还有其他一些。” 乒总上个月针对新加坡奥林匹克理事会询问没提名刘国栋角逐2008年最佳教练奖的来函,作出书面回复时指出,“最佳教练不该只是取得好成绩,他同时也该具备专业精神、正直的品性、道德、团结球队的能力,以及是个受球员尊敬的人”。 刘国栋把乒总的答复解读成对他的人身攻击,因此在上个星期四独自从中国回到新加坡,要求李美花通过报章作出澄清,否则将考虑提出法律诉讼。 孙敏慎昨天证实双方前天确实第二次会面,但他表示,乒总将采取一样的做法,继续寻求取得双赢的结果。他说:“我们昨天临时决定见面,刚好大家都有时间。事情没有改变,我们还是希望取得双赢结果,所以我们会继续与刘国栋联络,采取友善的态度跟他一起找出解决的方法。” 不过,孙敏慎没有提及联合声明草稿的事。 刘国栋明天回北京 月底再回来交涉 随着第二次会谈陷入僵局,刘国栋表示,他决定明天回返北京,为即将开战的中国乒乓球俱乐部超级联赛做准备。他将在新赛季担任宁波北仑海天俱乐部的男队主教练,旗下球星包括中国的马龙、台湾的庄智渊和香港的唐鹏。 他说:“谈了两次,谈出这样一份东西,还怎么谈?现在应该他们来(做回应),我现在说来说去,到最后(也不知道会怎么样)。” 刘国栋表示,他决定在乒超本月底完成首三轮比赛后再回来新加坡,继续要求乒总对诋毁他人格的说法作出澄清。 Source: OMY  Read More →

新加坡乒总要刘国栋签署的文件

新加坡乒总要刘国栋签署的文件

译者: 韦春花 现场采访(CM) 背景: 在新加坡文华大酒店苦等刘国栋4个小时,我们的采访记者 CM终于在刘国栋要动身前往机场时见到他。他也顺便拍下有关乒总在第二次与刘国栋会面时要他签署的文件。 以下是新加坡乒总有关文件的内容: 我们,新加坡乒乓总会,和刘国栋教练经过会面,愿意发表以下的联合声明。 “新加坡乒乓总会认为新加坡女子乒乓队在刘教练的领导下获得2008年北京奥运佳绩是令人赞许的。新加坡女子乒乓队获得银牌是个历史里程碑。 新加坡乒乓总会感谢刘教练在职期间所投下的努力,然而,我们还�! ��坚持不提名他竞逐最佳教练的荣衔。这是总会的权力,刘教练也很清楚这个决定。 新加坡乒乓总会最近对于刘教练的评语,实无意剥夺刘教练对新加坡乒乓运动的功绩,也没有指责刘教练在担任新加坡乒乓队指导时什么不诚实的弦外之音。 乒总在找到新教练之后,刘教练也离开了新加坡队。因此双方都有意要忘掉过去,并且保持友好的关系。新加坡乒总祝贺刘教练的事业更上一层楼。”   分析: 这份文件并没有解释以下的课题: 1、为什么不提名刘国栋竞逐“最佳教练”奖项? 2、是谁的决定?是集体达成的决策,还是一人的主张? 3、李美花在媒体指责刘国栋缺乏“专业精神和正直品性”完全没有澄清(文件内更是只字不提)。 很明显的,新加坡乒乓总会对其会长李美花所掀起的风波�! ��有诚意要解决。只是护主心切,急于把刘国栋—这��他们心目中的瘟神—请走, 本来就不是新加坡乒乓总会说刘国栋没有“专业精神和正直品性”,何必要为李美花担起这个骂名呢? 李美花必须出来解释她说过的话。既然她敢公开地讲刘国栋,她就必须随时出来捍卫自己的言论。可是直到现在,李美花拒绝再对这个议题发言。 作为一名领袖,捅出娄子后就拂袖而去,留下一个烂摊子让下属去收拾,极为不可取。 只有一个方法可以解决这次的僵局:要嘛李美花举例说明为何刘国栋没有“专业精神和正直品性”?又或者,收回自己的话公开道歉。 新加坡乒乓总会以为一个不会英文的中国教练很好蒙,三两下子就可以让风波过去,那实在是错得厉害。 如果乒乓总会一味护主心切,让李美花躲起来,那么刘国栋留在这儿耗也是毫无意义的。 刘国栋只需给李美花一! 个最后通牒:道歉或者等着打官司?然后放乒总一马。 我们将会在刘国栋两周后重返本地时安排他和律师见面,届时大家可以探讨一下这项诽谤官司的赢面以及赔偿数额。 要是有律师愿意替他免费打官司,可以联络我们@ [email protected] 此外,如果你还没签“李美花不适任新加坡乒乓总会会长”的请愿书,可以按下面的链接: http:// www.petitiononline.com/lbh/petition.html 出处: 大马论坛   我们,新加坡乒乓总会,和刘国栋教练经过会面,愿意发表以下的联合声明。 “新加坡乒乓总会认为新加坡女子乒乓队在刘教练的领导下获得2008年北京奥运佳绩是令人赞许的。新加坡女子乒乓队获得银牌是个历史里程碑。 新加坡乒乓总会感谢刘教练在职期间所投下的努力,然而,我们还�! ��坚持不提名他竞逐最佳教练的荣衔。这是总会的权力,刘教练也很清楚这个决定。 新加坡乒乓总会最近对于刘教练的评语,实无意剥夺刘教练对新加坡乒乓运动的功绩,也没有指责刘教练在担任新加坡乒乓队指导时什么不诚实的弦外之音。 乒总在找到新教练之后,刘教练也离开了新加坡队。因此双方都有意要忘掉过去,并且保持友好的关系。新加坡乒总祝贺刘教练的事业更上一层楼。”  Read More →
