Re -establish a social contract is an important means to start the social motivation again, so that the Singaporeans think about what they want from the perspective of Party A, and then follow the goals they set, like Party B to satisfy their future, like Party BEssence
You must read a contract this weekend.Generally, you are either Party A or Party B.Party A is usually a buyer who accepts the service, and Party B is the seller of the service.Party A always makes a request and is also relatively picky; Party B often is in a relatively disadvantaged position in order to please customers.
The contract I want to read is a contract about how Singaporeans work together. The "Co -Creation and Common Future" report on page 180 proposes the seven major changes that the society wants to see, which involves education, work, family, and year.Elderly, disadvantaged groups, long -term planning, and united people.This is not a general government governance report. It is a social contract that 200,000 Singaporeans have participated in the discussion, thinking, and suggestions for 16 months to participate in the discussion, thinking, and suggestions.
At a press conference on the report of the "Singapore together on October 27) just passed on Friday (October 27), Deputy Prime Minister Huang Xuncai and his fourth -generation leader team were explaining the seven major changes , the entire tone and word emphasizing the emphasis on top-down policies are promulgated, and the words are not promulgated from top-down policies, and but the top-down policy is promulgated, and the use of words is promulgated from top-down policies.It emphasizes collective ambitions, common visions, and doing things together, and the words of Minister of Health Wang Yikang are "doing big things together."
In other words, each of our Singaporeans is Party A of this contract and Party B.
From the perspective of Party A, we hope that the future of Singapore is more tolerant, and at the same time, we must have a better life, laying the tone of social values, that is, Party A requires all Singaporeans to improve together.From the perspective of Party B, we can fulfill this beautiful wish and realize the dream of Singaporeans. This is very meaningful. With this contract as a goal, fulfilling the contractual obligation will improve our quality of life and gain spirit in spiritBetter return.
For example, Party A hopes to establish a society that work regardless of inferiority, and there is a capable society.Party B needs to create a comprehensive certification skill to encourage the industry to improve.After the craftsmanship and technology improvement, people must also understand each other to respect each other and pay higher pay to pay for low -paying workers to meet their labor value. This part cannot rely on government allowances alone.
When Party A wants to see a fair society and improve life together, Party B has to design a framework of assistance and empowerment to assist children in lower -income families to improve upwards. On the one hand, children can learn in the morning.On the other hand, it helps the family who is upward to get rid of the circle of poverty.
Sociology often uses the bottom 20 % of the lowest level of society to improve whether a society is liquid, but from a statistically point of view, any overall must have the highest level of 20 % and the bottom layer of 20 %.When 20%of the original bottom layer increased to more than 20%, naturally other individuals became 20%of the bottom layer, but this is only a quantity. Our ideal should be improved.Only in this way can we maintain hope for the future.If you have hope, no matter what level you are, you will have the motivation to improve. Without hope, no matter what level you are, you will "lie flat".
I think the formulation of this new society contract is also an important response to the concept of "lying down" in recent years.
In the year after the lifting of the new crown epidemic, I participated in many forums. Almost every time I asked about the time, some people asked the enterprise, society, and even the country, how to treat the society in the society, or the English saying "QuietQuitting ".Both entrepreneurs, politicians, and vocational counselors mention a key: let people work with their goals and meaning.A large number of long -range work during the crown disease makes people feel very low, lacks a sense of destination for the team, does not feel the meaning of work, feels that they are optional, and gradually feel burnout and alienate.The same is true for national society. If you do n’t feel the meaning of individuals in this society, you will lack the motivation to improve.
Re -establish a social contract is an important means to start social motivation again, so that Singaporeans think about what they want from the perspective of Party A, and then meet their future according to the goals they have ordered.
At the press conference, the reporter of the Morning Post asked Huang Xuncai to evaluate whether Singapore can break the "Three Generations" spell Mantra At the time, the supplementary answer of the Minister of Human Man and the Second Minister of Trade and Industry, Chen Shilong, was very interesting. He said: "In fact, it is not rich for three generations, but each generation must be explained."
Indeed, everyone in each generation cannot be burnout for a long time, but should encourage each other to maintain motivation and empower each other to improve each other.At the moment of establishing a social contract, we are all "Party A". We must dare to put forward dreams and requirements and build a Singapore dream.On the way to the future, we are the common "Party B", and everyone has to do our best to improve this society.
It took 16 months to convene 200,000 Singaporeans to participate and submit a report. The important working part is still behind.First of all, all Singaporeans should know this report regardless of their age, origin, or social status.In contrast to your ideals and ambitions, if you are consistent with your own aspirations, you will sign your name in the position of Party A.Then, what can I do for the performance of this contract from the perspective of Party B?
For example, maintaining the spirit of lifelong learning, respecting employees in each industry, supporting social work to help vulnerable families, reminding and helping the elders around them to maintain their physical and mental health, extend help to help them get out of poverty, save energy and reduce carbon love environment for their environment.There are also tolerance between races and embrace the status of diverse races.
The "Singapore Jobs" report can also be said to be a contract between the 4G leadership team and the people of Singapore. They want to lead the country's expectations of the people.Therefore, people will naturally ask whether the national election is coming so that the people can use voting to express their support for this new society contract.Huang Xuncai answered simply at the press conference that everyone would know when time comes.
In the order of time, the time is not so fast. This report must first conduct a round of debate in Congress. Each change requires financial allocation., Increased 70%of the quota, etc., may have to wait until the fiscal budget next year to announce.
In short, this should not be a contract for the people, and the government is the contract of Party B.From a political point of view, the ruling party condenses the people's aspirations through this new society contract in its own policy policy. This is a way of pushing supporters of a pragmatic party, but this is not only the ruling party, because the opposition party can also pass through the opposition party.Report, understand the demands of most people, and then put forward different plans to realize ideals.Healthy competition is the most beneficial to Singaporeans.
