2009 model -where to go from here?

Is the Singapore model a clay Buddha across the river? Will the learning of the model reveals residual values?


has always been the media’s glorification of People's Action Party –the government being smart and capable. On November 30, 2008 in a report, a typical statement reads : 'China since reform, and opening up, many leaders have visited Singapore, but also draw on a number of well-established specific practices in Singapore. In recent years, quite a number of officials, academics, journalists, view the People's Action Party and Singapore's political model of great interest '. Clearly, the People's Action Party and its supporters believe the model is feasible and can be used as reference systems in other developing countries. Lee Kuan Yew in 2000, "From Third World to First World: The Story" is the account of Lee's successful experience.


However, the feasibility of the model as early as of years ago, western scholars have questioned. In 2008 Nobel Prize Winner for Economics, Krugman wrote that in 1994, an Economic Review had already rejected this so-called Asian economic miracle, and that Singapore's economic growth is due to foreign investment for growth rather than economic productivity gains. Similarly, the American political scientist Samuel Huntington has always been doubtful that 's political system can continue in the post-Lee Kuan Yew era. In fact, the government's economic policy is formulated by some to be rather than the conditions for success, so 's economic performance does not depend on to People's Action Party government policy.


What has the experience worth learning? 21 world-class networks in December 30, 2008 in an online article, "'s a good example" from a scholar's visit to National University of Singapore reported. Part of which reads: 'Singapore's impact on China ... China-Singapore Suzhou Industrial Park ... Singapore's sovereign investment funds and Temasek model ... For 30 years, Lee has stated ... for the Chinese Government’s sincerity and beliefs in his recommendations, ... China's most valuable is not the hardware but the software side, influenced Deng Xiaoping in this regard -, Deng Xiaoping said ‘we need to learn from , not just 's economy which is relatively developed, but also its good social order '.


The truth of the case? New is a complete failure in terms of experience. In 1994 the two sides agreed to develop the new industrial park, in 1997, both China and Singapore had serious differences of opinion, in 1999 the two sides agreed to by the Chinese to take over the new industrial park plan, In January 1, 2001 Suzhou local officials took over the industrial parks. in less than three years after signing the contract had serious disputes with the Chinese side. in the following year 1998, the Mengshengtuiyi. Is this a kind of 's successful investment model? This model of software such as investment and industrial development is for the Chinese to make those contributions?


Singapore’s often complacent repetition of Deng Xiaoping, brought the conversation: to learn from . Anthony Yuen of on July 8, 2004 expressed the view of the incident: 'The Chinese side has always been ... they feel the situation.. and being compatriots, broadly to Lee Kuan Yew, not only with added courtesy, but with added compliment, often called to learn "Singapore experience", Lee Kuan Yew has also often taken at face value, often to the Chinese officials to sell the "Singapore experience." In fact, the management of a 300 million people "company like" the experience of countries is difficult to migrate to a 9.6 million square kilometers, a country with a population of 1.3 billion, China's official kindly spoiled the Singaporeans'. In fact, Deng Xiaoping is only interested in the ''s social order and control is tight'. Deng Xiaoping saw in it bluntly, it’s only one-party dictatorship of SARS experience in democratic governance.


System is very difficult to turn once planted, not to mention 's national financial system is built on the basis of power politics, not of other government can or should learn about. GIC and Temasek having abundant funds, are often controlled so that the outside world has the wrong impression that this is the PAP government's successful performance. This is just an illusion, the truth will end this way.


In economics, where wealth can come from the creation and transfer; the former is to compete on price through market re-allocation of resources, which is the use of powers to make policy for planning the redistribution of resources. The former is entrepreneurial wealth, which is the extraction of wealth. In other words, the creation of wealth is the performance of economic behavior is the ability to transfer wealth is a political act of power performance.


The sale of government land, as an example: the sale of land in Hong Kong and all the proceeds paid to government spending, while in , all revenues derived from the sale of Crown land reserve. The results of two different policies, Hong Kong is taken from society by the society, is taken from society by the GIC? So, is the Hong Kong model or a model more in line with the definition of a democratic society?


In addition, many of 's land come from the Government's compulsory acquisition of low prices of people's land. In June 26, 2003 The Straits Times published a Land Acquisition News: Government to a mere 2 to 1 yuan acquisition of about 200 square meters of land, of which one for the permanent lease of the land. This is a typical case of land acquisition transfer of wealth;legal transfer procedures, not the land market price. People's Action Party government is squeezing entrepreneurs to get rich or is it to get rich? the government paid 1 yuan in cash just to satisfy the


In 1965, Lee Kuan Yew in , immediately after independence amends the Constitution, it must be a reasonable compensation for expropriation of the public to its original form. From 1965 to 2008, In 43 years, has the PAP government accumulated a number of reserve land sale? Obviously, this reserve is, in essence, the flesh and blood.


's model seems to represent a high efficiency of the outside world, the envy of the executive. So what then is the reality? 's Electronic Road Pricing system ‘front-office’ has been highly praised by the world. First of all, the idea is not a based but the original. Second, has succeeded in implementing the system, it simply reflects the strength of the government and the relationship between the people; in policy, people unable to resist the People's Action Party Government can do whatever they want. People's Action Party Government in the early 70s of the last century has begun to adopt this system. This is more than 30 years and the number of road tolls levied by the Government? The phenomenon of traffic congestion in , has there been little improvement? Today the phenomenon of road traffic congestion, or is it sustainable Changxin. Pricing is a traffic management or is it the state treasury revenue mechanism?


Does ’s land and transport system worthy of imitation in other developing countries?


model as portrayed in the main axis of the people and government relations,- public HDB and provident fund. This is not 's social welfare system and is not worthy of imitation. First of all, Lee Kuan Yew is very averse to social welfare system that is the greedy mentality of the poor, second, the relief is a waste of valuable resources. Third, Lee Kuan Yew also believe that unequal distribution of wealth in society can stimulate the poor to work hard to enhance economic development. It can be seen that the model is not an inclusive social space.


For the ordinary people of , the two most valuable industries are the HDB and provident fund. However, from an economic definition of property rights theory, private property and look at these so-called private ownership of industry, in essence, must belong to the public domain; of government industries. This is because the characteristics of HDB does not meet the definition of private property. There must be three conditions: free use of the right to freedom, of the right to assign, the right to freedom of earning.

In the HDB industries, most notably the people only has the right to use the living conditions, all other industries the right to use, transfer of rights and earnings will be subject to the HDB regulation; the HDB and private apartment owners free decisions contrast to the clearly known power of private-sector property rights.


Does HDB have a contractual protection? Under the law in the collective reconstruction of the original 99-year HDB, contract can be terminated at any time; the Government let you move you have to move. Very clearly that contracting parties in the one side, and go back if it can change at any time by terminating the contract terms, then it must be real economic property owners; the real owners. In short, the people are tenants, the Government is the owner, although they pay ‘Jian’ housing its people.


Bank accounts and provident fund accounts are not the same, the former can be free to use, free transfer, and free investment and so on, which obviously do not enjoy the benefits of these private economic property rights.


Lee Kuan Yew said that China cheaper land expropriation policy outcomes is equivalent to the liquidation of the local capitalists in wealth, leading to the complete failure of the local community through the ‘済’ and that is the main reason. In addition, take a look at China in a short span of 30 years, created a number of billionaires results, And by not been able to know the People's Action Party government's control, the opportunity to get rich Singaporeans have already disappeared without a trace? In society, from scratch is an old ancient myth.


The political consequences of the model is very clear. When the government fully controls the people they have the most valuable asset, the government also controlled the lives of people and their ideas. The strength of the relationship in this framework, are the economic factors of production where the people is reduced to data. Political people are more concerned to ensure that the ruling party's consolidation of political power, because the people's land ownership and provident funds whereabouts are controlled by the hands of the government and bureaucracy. This is also the People's Action Party’s ability to enable themselves to have a long-term one-party dictatorship of the main factors.


This shows that the model is not a democracy, but a reverse of the socialist model. According to the theory of socialism: people are the masters, the Government serves the people. The model is: People's Action Party is the master of the country, the people is the government’s services. Obviously, those who want to follow democratic politics and market economy country, is certainly not happy to learn this style and it should not be the model.


So, in the end what is the nature of the model? Lee Kuan Yew in 2006, 12, accepted the "Financial" interview frankly: the model-free nature of the capacity for continuing to speak of, but according to the world, is changed. This argument can be reasonably be interpreted as the model but with no wind so to speak of the nature of chickens following features: With the situation in the change of direction, direction changes. Therefore, wind is now energetically, adorned of course looked at the east.


Long ago made the grand appearance, which open by one man guards the pass Wan Fumo takes the Western capital in . In 1963, Lee Kuan Yew's 'cold action' is to avoid becoming 's 'third '. Not long ago, in November 2004 by 's Chen and Taiwanese criticism: Bishi with both hands the size of is equivalent to Chinese eggs Boji. This is also a moment in time, the concrete embodiment of the model of the wind chicken character. Looking back on history. Natural Chicken is the model wind being the indispensable feature, but by its mental outlook. Pragmatism is the opportunism of another dimension: in both ways.


However, this country do not follow the principles of the Zhiqiu utilitarian model, it would certainly not by those with political ideology and patriotic spirit of the culture to accept. In international politics ,there is no country that would sell for short-term interests of political beliefs, or the expense of patriotism. In other words, as a model of post-colonial system of government of there is no culture of political beliefs and it is also a lack of proper patriotism. Allow a community to accept a national culture is not national culture, the model is a piece of incredible thing. So, the 's political model would be a premature international market? model is only the idol of a media gadget, it can not be taken seriously.


No one can deny Lee's extraordinarily smart, resourcefulness; the early years of Lee's existentialism is to emphasize the need for change. Indeed, Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore-style, well known to know that he single-handedly created the image of the model have already begun to shrink. Earlier versions of the model appears to be a depreciation pattern. Because of the last century financial crisis and the rise of 's economy it has been, in essence, changed the world political and economic pattern. However, the lack of political and economic resources of the without change, the original social constraints will fail to meet the new era. Thus, in 2002 the re-shaping of Lee Hsien Loong's campaign is an attempt to create a second version of the model in order to cope with the new realities of the world. society,


In 2005 Lee Kuan Yew announced that the Confucian values was out of date. In 2006 Lee Kuan Yew made the Essence of the model known. This political tactic is nothing more than to change course in the campaign, convenience and the future integration of new social ideas, but also is to create a decent old version of the next step. People's Action Party is always seeking and then move on.


Is the model a new version of excellence? Not as good as a crab or a crab? So far it is the test version of the model, but it seems it can not get out of the testing the waters phase, the capture of uncertain direction. Today, 's manufacturing underachievement, there is no top talent for scientific research and it is not a cost-competitive advantage. 's highly paid elite team lost to , the Soviet Union by a mere thirty local officials, so 's manufacturing industry with as the economic hinterland of the concept is also missing.


Government has put in substantial funding for the introduction and promotion of the biotechnology industry and it appeared not to win? Different officials insist their own research direction. R & D expenses incurred with the huge, world-class scientists to play the game like a revolving door people come and go, do not know whether they produce anything ground-breaking, world-class scientific research?


A second wing may fly back for a while now and it appears to be enjoying themselves they fell and did not light, the part of the investment which is not to become a long-term investment? This is not equivalent to saying that the government let the future do the cleaning up of the mess? 20-30 years, who is the boss now? Who are the beneficiaries? However, in today's point of view, looking back in time retirement savings would probably be the face of those who can not predict the risk of a provident fund policy changes.


IT2000 Technology Island Plan is now unaccounted for. Lee Hsien Loong announced in 2005 to build the casino. In 2006, became a tax haven, and wash the black Jian center. Xie pointed out that is an economically failed state by money laundering to flourish. In the minds of the people of , like and some Third World is to wash the black .'s car industry has questioned the wisdom of organized street race? Rejected by the Government in 2008 ,years of F1 racing excitement finally started with thunder and heavy rain and little but the look for the outcome of its ending. Today,


In 2010 when lawful gambling starts, whether sexual or not, will the economy follow a legitimate market rise? Singapore reduced to wash the black Jian Center has been the fate of many sad people, finding a way out to the garbage heap is even more chilling, Singapore's ultra high-paid elite will they go downhill? Whether it is moving into the new version of the Chihepiaodu' the 'black Qian Huang Qian as long as both can make money' mode? would degenerate into prostitution by poverty but not a laugh, a pragmatic new society?Confucian values are outdated. model ' This may also explain why Lee Kuan Yew, say the


In today's major financial turmoil, the global climate of economic slowdown, model is a water-based clay Buddha. The residual value of the model as a negative example: a one-party dictatorship, the political parties of a negative long-term development of society. After Lee Kuan Yew era has begun, must move toward political openness; create a flourishing society to make the only feasible direction - reborn. I hope that after the collapse of clay Buddha, it will grow out of the mire of m&d, but not into a dyed fresh lotus.
