别遗弃任何人

国民团结党对人民行动党只对现有的战备军人表彰而对以往对我国国防和稳定做出贡献的老兵置之不理感到震惊。
行动党可以轻易地说这钱不太重要。但行动党并不了解如此刻意的把老兵之置于这奖励表彰制度之外已经伤了他们的感情，而这并是那$9000的奖励可弥补的伤害。
当总理宣布会对每一位战备军人付与$9000以表彰他们为国家的贡献时，很多新加坡人都为执政党能正视人们对国家的牺牲感到非常高兴。就算我们当中有一些会得到比较少的表扬金，我们也可理解这是政府对我们象征式的奖励。
然而，我们万万没想到行动党会把两三代的老兵给完全忽略掉！这批四十岁以上的男性公民肯定会对如此对待感到气愤。这是不是意味着当人们因老了而再也没有“利用价值”时，这国家就会遗弃他们，对他们以往的贡献完全置之不理吗？这也暴露了行动党那种以实用主义治国的冷酷无情。
不要遗弃任何人。这是军官训练营所提倡的精神，也是国民团结党所坚持的。行动党也附和这口号，但它并没真正履行它自己所提倡的信仰。

One minister say that earlier batch of soldier not entitle to S$9K as already had other forms of awards???!!! Friends , Colleagues & I already complete my 13 years quite some time ago & we really cannot recall what other forms of awards were given to us.
Perhaps garment should clear the air by listing down clearly & announce publicly what are the awards given to us.

在鸡毛蒜皮的牛角尖兜圈子，这是新加坡人的肤浅，也是新加坡人的悲哀。为了一点儿蝇头小利，新加坡人就可以争论得沸沸扬扬，这也间接的证明了老李蔑视新加坡人无知的真实、直接证明了执政党为何可以长期将新加坡人如猴子一样来耍的原因。
对新加坡男性公民来说，两年全职国民服役、十几二十几年因军阶不同的战备军役，牺牲之大，是完全不能以物质价值来衡量的。在这一方面，所有的新加坡国民服役军人的品质就比政府内阁的为了黄金而服务国家的私心高尚多了。
简单的说，我们的军人，为了保家卫国，绝对不能和政府一样的抱着市侩的心理，斤斤计较糖果是否分得公平。因此，为了过去对国家的牺牲而要求政府补偿，这样的心态只不过是落人口实，亵渎了为了爱国而服役的本质。
因此，对我来说，其实更为逼切的，却还是骑劫了国民爱国的精神，而剥削国民物质、给予国民服役战士超微薄津贴的政策。建国伊始，国家百废待兴，国防完全是空城计。那时候，建军是逼切的要务，因此给予服役军人象征性的津贴，是完全可以谅解的。然而，四十多年来，国库充盈，新加坡再也不是吴下阿蒙。那么，我就是一直想不明白，政府公务员都相应的水涨船高，政府内阁藉着高薪养廉，薪酬甚至调高了数十倍。然而，这些在野外操练时就得忍受风吹雨打，精神肉体都受尽折磨的国民服役军人，却依旧受着低薄的津贴的剥削。
爱国是没有代价的，那是属于精神上的层次。然而，国家却有这个责任，不能不在物质上给予服役军人适当的酬报，让他们能够维持生活的尊严。就在前天，新加坡武装部队派出特遣队到亚丁湾协助国际社会打击海盗。张志贤说：“我们一直都被指派负责这条国际航道上海盗发动攻击风险最高的水域。这显示国际联合特遣队对我国特遣队所展现的高度专业能力具有信心。”
什么是风险最高的水域呢？这就是说我们的军人碰到的出状况的机会也就大。那么，由221名海陆空三军官兵组成的特遣队，有多少个国民服役将士呢？我很难想象，我们的内阁政府在享受着超级高薪养廉的酬劳，在府邸里高枕安眠，享受着这些军人为彼等带来的幸福时，竟然没有一丝儿羞耻心，想想这些抱着生命危险的同胞，牺牲如此巨大，每月的薪酬竟然买不起一台ipod、一架iphone，真是情何以堪啊？
往事已矣，来者可追。我们这些国民服役的过来人，既然基于爱国，付出了最大的心血，就不必斤斤计较过去，反而是应该慎思未来。因此，是时候调整给国民服役军人恰当的待遇的时候了。又要马儿好、又要马儿不吃草绝对不是一个有良心的政府的心态。新加坡男性公民，时间和精神上的损失是没有代价可以弥补的，也不须弥补。然而，在物质上的代价，代表国家的政府就必须把我们的子弟兵当人。
不是吗？挥几下扫帚，洗几下厕所，都能够有1千8百的。而随时准备抛头颅、洒热血的国民服役军人，报酬却这么可怜呢？

我觉得吴明盛的这篇文章写得不够理直气壮，因为40岁以上退役的国民服役人员也不在乎有没有钱分，反正也没有现金；）
我倒觉得是大选前的“新新加坡股”，目标是40岁以下的男性选民，这些人的游离性是PAP所担心的。所以李显龙会认为是把钱花在刀口上，十分值得。
至于吴文的题目“别遗弃任何人”——倒忘了为妇女请命，这是最大的遗憾。

现在的妇女生孩子有花红。以前生过的就没有好处拿。
这是不是意味着当妇女因老了而再也没有“生育价值”时，这国家就会遗弃她们，对她们以往的贡献完全置之不理吗？
我们的母亲，祖母，曾祖母，曾曾祖母。。。都有权得到应有的奖励，没有她们，就没有我们，就没有现在这个国家，这个国家不可以忽略她们的贡献。

“In old times it was the habit to kill old men when they had passed fifty years. A man who was nearing his fiftieth year had a good son, who was very sorry for his father and hid him in a wine vat, in which he cared for him secretly.
Once he bet with some of his neighbors who should see the first rising of the sun in the morning. The merciful son told his father of his bet, and his father said to him, “Be careful, and when you are at the place to see the rising of the sun take, the precaution not to look to the east as the others will do, but look instead to the west at the highest point of the mountains, and you will win the bet.”
The son did as his father had advised him, and so saw first the rising of the sun. When the neighbors asked him who had advised him what to do, he said it was his father, whom he must hide and protect from a forced death. The people were astonished at such clever advice and concluded that the old men are clever and that they do not deserve to be killed, but respected.”
40 is not over the hill. Then why is there a structural unemployment problem which is not being addressed?
