作者:冀居·谢 黄永宏欢迎反对党到碧山—大巴窑集选区， 他受访时说，竞争将有利于新加坡整体的政治进程，因为国人能够从中了解各政党的理念以及他们想推行的政策。这段新闻读来也有点啼笑皆非，因为他应该是很尴尬讲出这番话的人，如果是在台湾，他会被记者接下来的发问搞得狼狈不堪。 黄永宏部长本身是个不经选战，直接在集选区卵翼下进入国会的执政党精英，据说是放弃千万元收入，屈就百万元年薪的一个，现在一人就当了两个部的部长：教育部长和国防部第二部长，此外还有一个国会副议长的闲职。作为一个这样的人物，如果他认为他的贡献完全是对新加坡有利的话，那么他应该支持更大的集选区制度，让执政党把所有的英才都以这样的方式揽进国会里面。如果他认为政党竞争能够有利于新加坡整体的政治进程，当初他又为什么接受从后门进入的安排呢？所以顾炎武会说：士大夫之无耻是为国耻。 来源：大马论坛  Read More →
