内阁资政李光耀昨晚明确表明人民行动党政府一旦失去选民的委托,将会尊重选举结果,和平交出政权。因为他所上的第一堂政治课教导他,阻碍和平的革命,必然会导致暴力。
他昨晚在李光耀公共政策学院成立五周年晚宴上同来宾对话时指出,他曾花了15年的时间思考如何保障新加坡的政治前途,最终说服年轻的内阁同僚订定了一系列的制度,以确保我国不会因为经过一届无能的政府领导,而失去东山再起的本钱。
本地知名英文小说家林宝音在对话时问李资政,如果新加坡面对可能出现反常选举结果的局面,他是否会出动军队拨乱反正。他回答前因没听清楚问题,而要林宝音重复时,趁便问了她的身份。在主持对话的院长马凯硕教授介绍她是一名作家后,才开始回答。
他曾在2006年9月举行的首届“莱佛士论坛”上指出,如果没有民选总统制,一旦出现反常的选举结果,一个烂政府上台,可能在两三年内,军队就必须介入,以制止它掠夺国家储备。一旦这样的事情发生,民选政府制度必然会被摧毁。
他昨晚还明确地指出,新加坡政府在体制上设计了民选总统制度,并确保公务员系统、司法体系、军队、警察等国家体制的中立性,就是要允许反对党有机会和平推翻现政府。
“今后的某一个时间点,行动党如果无法找到一个能媲美反对党的竞选团队,我们就活该要出局。如果我们腐败了,失去效能了,也会出局。”
然而,李资政指出如果出现反常的选举结果,民选总统将能够保护前任政府所积累的财政盈余,不会允许新政府滥用。而新政府在没有得到总统首肯之前,也不能随意更换公务员或军警首长。
“如果我们要推翻选举结果,又何必那么大费周章呢?我们希望一旦我们下野,我们只会在野一届,新政府将因无能而无法连任,而我们将保有能干的官员及财政资源来修复政府。不然,我们为何要设计这些制度呢?”
李资政说:“我花了15年的时间思索了这个办法,并最终说服年轻的同僚,让他们接受我们需要这些保护措施。我不认为下一届选举会发生问题,后一届也大概无碍,但是如果我们无法找到好的竞选团队,再过一届的选举,如果反对党组成好的团队,我们将面对风险。这就是现实。”
他回忆说,他早年在伦敦政治经济学院听课时,学习了毕生的第一堂政治教训。导师当时以英国稳定的政治情势为例说,如果没有一套制度来落实代表民意的政治变革,必然导致流血革命。
他说:“我在政治上学习的第一个教训,就是你或者有一个得到选民授意的革命(revolution by consent),不然就是暴力革命。你如果阻断了所有变革的可能性,就一定导致暴力,而一旦发生暴力,军队一定得开枪,因为你是站在错误的一边。”
李资政总结说,如果不是因为有这个顾虑,政府也不会设计那么多政治上的保护措施。他对林宝音说:“你是一个作家,我不知道你的想法或想象力如何。但是,你是否能想出一个理由,说明为何我们要做这些来欺骗人民?”

Political leaders cannot be trained, but must be found, says MM Lee
Japan's victorious DPJ, minor parties to form coalition government
Tokyo, Aug 31 : Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) President Yukio Hatoyama was expected to hold talks Monday with leaders of several minor opposition parties on forming a new coalition government.
he DPJ secured a comfortable majority of 308 of the 480 seats in the House of Representatives election Sunday, ending more than 50 years of nearly uninterrupted rule by the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).
DPJ's Hatoyama is very modest and respectful to other parties by this act of forming coalition, when his party already got the land-side victory with clear majority control in the parliamentary election.
This is will serve as a very outstanding contrast against the Kiasu Coward attitude displayed over the decades by the famiLEE LEEgime, which held 1-party-rule and went out of the way to bully and remove out-right minority opposition such as well respected late Mr. JBJ REPEATEDLY from the parliament. LKy the old dog thief is such a coward bully and shameless kiasu compared with Mr. Hatoyama of DPJ.
The contrast showed by this comparison is the strongest.
DPJ got very very significant majority seats and absolutely do not need the minor parties small number of additional seats. But he took the trouble and additional liablity to do form a COALISION GOVT instead of a 1-party government this is so UNlike Lee Kuan Yew the coward Kiasu Ah Beng Old Dog Thief.
What did that showed?
This showed the strong contrast that Hatoyama is so prepared to accept different parties opinions and Lee Kuan Yew will seek to Squash Out every alternate voices. The greater person is the modest one, and the clown (Ah Beng) is the arrogant and selfish one.
Isn't that very obvious?
:-)
This further indicated that Hatoyama is preparing with self-confident to lead a coalition government consisting of multiple parties instead of just his own DPJ, he believe that his leadership is able to lead more than just one party to function together as a single government.
In comparison, Lee Kuan Yew the arrogant coward Ah Beng, is fearful of late Mr. JBJ who has only one single seat in Anson, when he got 82 PAp lap dogs occupying the rest of the parliament plus himself in Tanjong Pagar. He knows that his leadership is WEAK and he has no confident to get away from just one late Mr. JBJ.
What more further need I write?
