在某种意义上,对比这两个国家是不公平的。人口仅500万的新加坡是一个城市。陆地面积是新加坡450倍、人口3000万的马来西亚显然更难治理。3月去世的新加坡开国总理李光耀以总体上仁慈的手腕牢牢掌管着国家。很难看出这样的微观管理能在一个大得多的国家奏效。
Still, both countries have potentially combustible ethnic mixes. Singapore has done better atforging a sense of fairness and national unity, through language, meritocracy andincorruptibility. Malaysia, in the name of protecting Malays through positive discrimination, hasby contrast created a crony capitalist state. It should learn from Singapore. It should showzero tolerance for corruption, starting with Mr Najib, who must clear his name or step down.Preferential treatment for Malays should be phased out and the government should forgepolicies of national unity, not ones of division based on religion or Malay ethnicity. Singapore hascreated a strong foundation from which it can move forward. Malaysia must stop the rot, orslip disastrously backwards.
话虽如此,这两个国家都存在容易产生冲突的多民族问题。新加坡借助语言、任人唯贤和廉洁制度,在营造公平和民族团结意识方面做得更好。马来西亚则以保护马来人为名明确实行歧视政策,搞成了一个裙带资本主义国家。马来西亚应该学习新加坡的经验。它应该表现出对腐败的零容忍,从纳吉布开始,他必须要么证明自己清白,要么下台。优待马来人的政策应该被取消,政府应该出台民族团结政策,而不是基于宗教或马来族裔的分裂政策。新加坡夯实了一个让国家能够向前迈进的坚实基础。马来西亚必须刮骨疗毒,否则就可能灾难性地向后倒退。
