Serving up a dish of slow-cooked frog leg stew, Singapore style
Government or government-linked organizations have been making the news very regularly over the last few years, very often for the wrong reasons. Unsurprisingly, these failings have caused a fair amount of disquiet among the general population and have seriously undermined public confidence in the Civil Service and government...
The realities of Permanent Residents (PRs) who come and go
Dear Temasek Review I refer to the letter to mypaper (mypaper.sg) by Mrs Anna Lee dated 31 May 2010. Mrs Lee had recounted an experience with a Filipino national with Singapore PR. After earning a considerable amount of money, this Filipino withdrew his Central Provident Fund savings, gave up his PR status and left Singapore. Mrs...
严惩还是问责
作者:冀居·谢 那个涂鸦的瑞士人看来逃不过美国仔迈克菲的惩罚——鞭刑。连他们的大使馆都嗅到一点讯息,说在本地得守本地的法。可是今天(09/06/2010)的早报社论总算有点LP—— SMRT为何出现严重保安疏漏?,没错涂鸦车厢折射的不是破坏公物的问题,而是保安的疏漏。 世界上所有防恐的措施都是集中在公共交通上,因为对于恐怖分子来讲,这是用最低成本能达到最大效果的方法。如日本的奥姆真理教就在地铁站释放毒气,欧洲的好几起恐怖活动都和地铁、铁路离不开关系。好莱坞也拍过好几部这类的影片,印象中好像铁汉布鲁氏威利好像演过一部,最后地铁车厢从地底撞到路面来。还有最近几年的《V怪客》,他就是找到一个废弃的地铁站,然后把一列地铁停放在那里,装入满车的炸药。乘着跨年狂欢的时刻,伦敦市中心会关闭好几个地铁站,这样他就不会伤到无辜的乘客。然后他算准十二点钟跨年烟花燃放,背景是柴可夫斯基的《1812序曲》,把车开入西敏寺站,炸毁大笨钟、西敏寺国会大厦,虽然是电脑CG,仍然很十分震撼。 社论说:“事实上,自从恐怖威胁出现后,公共交通安全也立即跃居防恐安全前线。当局在2004年就成立了公共交通安全委员会,其成员包括交通部、陆路交通管理局、内政部、内部安全局、警察部队、联合反恐中心、民防部队等相关部门的代表。因此,民众最想知道的是,列车涂鸦事件的症结在哪里?谁应该负起咎责?”——现在所有的道歉几乎都推給SMRT的总裁,至于咱们的内政部长黄根成和国土安全部长贾古玛,真的是死猪不怕开水烫吗? 来源:大马论坛 Read More →
