1 | Will ‘National Conversation’ Work in Singapore? | Hahomby Ao Singapore ve ny Fihaonambem-Pirenena? |
2 | In an effort to include ordinary Singaporeans in the planning of the nation's future, the government has launched a “national conversation” that will last for about a year to gather people's views. | Ao anatin'ny ezaka hampiditra ny Singaporeana amin'ny “fandaminana ny hoavin'ny firenena”, dia manatontosa fihaonambem-pirenena izay haharitra eo ho eo amin'ny herintaona eo hanangonana ny hevitry ny vahoaka ny governemanta. |
3 | Led by the Our Singapore committee, the national conversation will take place online as well as in various dialogues and meetings. | Hotarihin'ny Komitin'ny “Our Singapore” ny resadresaka amin'ny aterineto sy ny sehatra ifampiresahana hafa ary mandritra ny fihaonana isan-karazany. |
4 | Our Singapore Conversation has both a website and a Facebook page, and urges people to share their views on Twitter using the #oursgconv hashtag. | Manana habaka sy pejy Facebook ny “Our Singapore Conversation” (Resadresatsika momba an'i Singapore) , izay mandrisika ny olona hizara ny heviny ao amin'ny Twitter amin'ny alalan'ny fampiasana tenifototra #oursgconv. |
5 | The exercise has been met with positivity from some Singaporeans. | Hita fa noraisin'ireo Singaporeana sasany tsara ny tetikasa. |

8 | So yes… I think if, as explained by Mr Tan, the aim of the SG Conversation is to teach each of us some truths about our own country, then it did achieve that aim with me. | Tsy maintsy lazaiko etoana fa nanokatra ny masoko amin'ny Singaporeana hafa ny traikefako tamin'ny SG [Singapore] Conversation. Ho an'ny iray, tsy fantatro fa mahatsiaro tena ho voaenda-pananana voahilikilika ny zokiolona ao Singapore mandra-pitenin'ilay lahiantitra mihaja tao amin'ny vondrona nisy ahy ny tantarany. |
9 | However, many others are wary of the exercise, seeing it as nothing more than a public relations endeavour. | Ho an'ny iray hafa, diso hevitra aho satria noheveriko fa mifandray sy mifampiresaka tsara ny foko samihafa ka tsy mila jerentsika intsony izany. |
10 | Molly Meek believes that the whole national conversation is simply a ploy to change the ruling party's image: | Dokotera vavy Malay no nandresy lahatra ahy tamin'ny lahateniny mahaliana fa mihoatra noho ny tsy fifankahalalàna tamin'ny taona 1960 ny fifandraisan'ny foko samihafa amin'izao fotoana. |
11 | The PAP's [ruling party] strategy is intelligent-one even wonders if they have consulted professionals on the matter before proceeding with their efforts-and one cannot helped but be impressed by their measurable success. | Eny… Mino aho fa, araka ny fanazavan'Atoa Tan, ny tanjon'ny SG Conversation dia ny hampianatra antsika tsirairay ny marina sasany momba ny firenentsika, ary tratra izany tanjona izany tamiko. Na dia izany aza, maro ireo hafa mbola miahiahy ilay tetikasa, ka mahita izany ho toy ny fanatsarana ny fifandraisan'ny fanjakana amin'ny olona fotsiny. |
12 | The strategy employed is perhaps fairly simple-target a few citizens, including prominent ones and lesser-known ones, that are moderately against the PAP, give them a different impression, and let them spread the news that the PAP really is not what its detractors have made it out to be. | Mihevitra i Molly Meek fa tetikady hanovàna ny endriky ny antoko eo amin'ny fitondrana fotsiny ny fihaonambem-pirenena iray manontolo: Misy Fisainana Lalina ny paikadin'ny PAP [antokon'ny fitondrana]-misy aza ny manontany raha naka ny hevitry ny manam-pahaizana izy ireo alohan'ny hanatontosana izao tetikasa izao-ary misy ny tsy mandray anjara amin'izany saingy gagà amin'ny fahombiazany azo refesina. |
13 | | Tsotra kely angamba ny paikadiny-mikendry olom-pirenena vitsivitsy, ahitana olona malaza sy ireo olona tsy dia fantatra, izay somary manohitra ihany ny antokon'ny PAP, ka manome azy ireo fahatsapahana hafa, ka mamela azy ireo hizara sy hanaparitaka vaovao fa tsy arak'izay lazain'ireo mpanasoketa azy ny antoko PAP. |
14 | In fact, these do not even need to say anything-a mere talk with the PAP that leaves them with nothing to criticize will be effective enough for others who can still be convinced to support the PAP. | Ny tena marina, tsy mila milaza na inona na inona akory izy ireo-resaka tsotra miaraka amin'ny PAP hahatonga azy ireo tsy manana hotsikeraina dia efa ampy sy haharesy lahatra ny hafa hanohana ny antoko PAP. |
15 | An editorial at publichouse.sg points out that the conversation may not lead to real change: | Tonian-dahatsoratra ao amin'ny publichouse.sg nanamarika fa mety tsy hitondra any amin'ny tena fiovana akory ny resadresaka: |
16 | Even if it is assumed that the ministers leading the current initiative are of a keenly liberal bent, the older guards in the Cabinet remain likely to have a veto over the final product. | Na dia lazaina aza fa mpanohana mavitrika ny liberaly ny minisitra tompo-kevitra tamin'ity tetikasa ity, toa mahatsiaro manan-jo hitsipaka (veto) amin'izay vokatra farany ny zokinjokiny ao amin'ny Kabinetra. |
17 | | Mampahafantatra antsika ny mahita fa tsy nisy valiny mahafa-po ny ankamaroan'ny soso-kevitra tena liberaly avy amin'ny Komity “Remaking Singapore” - toy ny governemanta mba hamaritra ny mpanamarika manana ny maha-izy azy amin'ny adihevitra politika, fananganana rafi-panavotana ny toekarena ho an'ny tsy fisian'ny asa sy ny fanampiana ara-bola amin'ny MediShield ho an'ireo kely fidiram-bola Even if it is assumed that the ministers leading the current initiative are of a keenly liberal bent, the older guards in the Cabinet remain likely to have a veto over the final product. |
18 | It is instructive that a majority of the more liberal suggestions made by the Remaking Singapore Committee - such as for the government to define the out-of-bounds markers for political debate, creating an Economic Relief Scheme for the structurally unemployed and subsidising the MediShield premiums of low-income groups - went unheeded. | It is instructive that a majority of the more liberal suggestions made by the Remaking Singapore Committee - such as for the government to define the out-of-bounds markers for political debate, creating an Economic Relief Scheme for the structurally unemployed and subsidising the MediShield premiums of low-income groups - went unheeded. |

20 | We simply do not want to see a Conversation that is dominated by people who might be sympathetic of the ruling party's position on national issues, and are hence more likely to be part of the ancient echo chamber. | Howard Lee, nanoratra tao amin'ny The Online Citizen, naneho hevitra momba ny fitongilanana hita mandritra ny resadresaka: Tsy tianay fotsiny ny mahita Resadresaka anjakan'ny olona manohana ny foto-kevitry ny antokon'ny fitondrana mikasika ny olana ao amin'ny firenena, ary avy any dia lasa tahaka ny akon'ny antenimiera taloha. |
21 | How would we look forward, if so? | Ahoana no fomba ijerentsika ny hoavy raha izany? |
22 | In other words, Wong and others like him need to realise that the ball is in the PAP's court to prove that they can be non-partisan, rather than lambast those who are raising the red flag on partisanship as ‘politicised'. | Amin'ny teny hafa, tokony hahafantatra i Wong sy ny hafa tahaka azy fa any amin'ny antoko PAP ny baolina ho entin-dry zareo manaporofo fa tsy mitanila izy ireo, fa tsy tokony hanome tsiny ireo izay mananga-tsaina mena amin'ny fiandaniana toy ny ‘misy ambadika politika'. |
23 | Proof is in actions, not words. | Amin'ny atao ny porofo, fa tsy amin'ny vava. |
24 | We want diverse voices, even oppositional ones that sit at the far ends of the fence of logic and possibility, to get to the bottom of matters and stimulate a hearty, if not heart-felt, discussion, rather than another consensus building show-and-tell. | Mila feo samihafa isika, na dia ny an'ny mpanohitra lavitry ny fefin'ny lojika sy ny azo tanterahina aza, mba hamantarana ny foto-javatra sy hanaingàna adihevitra mafana, rehefa tsy mahatratra ny fo, fa tsy manangana marimarira iraisana aderadera sy atao laza masaka. |
25 | And Singaporeans have the right to expect the National Conversations to be like that. | Manan-jò hanantena Fihaonamem-Pirenena tahaka izany ny Singaporeana. |
26 | While the conversation continues in dialogue sessions and on Facebook, the Twitter hashtag #oursgconv appears to have been hijacked by anti-opposition spam: | Raha mbola mitohy ny Resadresaka tamin'ny tranokala sy tao amin'ny Facebook, fantatra fa nisy mpamely ny mpanohitra nanodin-dresaka amin'ny tenifototra #oursgconv tao amin'ny Twitter: |
