清朝有个赵翼,写了首《论诗》,说的是:“李杜诗篇万口传,至今已觉不新鲜。江山代有才人出,各领风骚数百年。”这话说得只怕多少还有些“酸溜溜”的味道,因为自唐至今,一千多年了,诗仙诗圣的作品自然不算“新鲜”了;但它们应该仍是诗坛上,光芒四射的瑰宝,那后来的“各领风骚数百年”者,又在哪里?
诗坛上可以有引领风骚千百年的杰出人物,难道政坛上也有妄想“各领风骚数百年”之徒?有些小国已“引领风骚”数十载的领袖,自视太高;退而不休,整天还在那里就“朝政”比手划脚,说三道四!他们自以为“老子天下第一”,那脑筋都是经过英国“剑桥”洗礼过的,无比犀利;缺少了他们,这国家该如何是好?人民将要吃尽苦头了吧?可能就连地球也要转慢了些?那种“忧国忧民”之情,溢于言表;结果自然就是那滔滔不绝,喋喋不休的“胡言乱语”了。
所谓“言多必失”,古有明训,更何况是“心高气傲”的老年人?由于爱发“伟论”的结果,就有过气“大人物”在不知不觉间露出其“狐狸尾巴”,自认他自始至终就是个彻头彻尾的“种族主义者”!这一来,可让一路来把他捧上天的“歌功颂德”者,大开眼界了吧?是“如梦方醒”,还是自诩“慧眼识英雄”,眼力不差,庆幸那马屁拍得“恰到好处”?对于死抱住大腿不放的人,你还有何话可说?
另一邻近小国,更是出了个世界级的“旷世奇才”,被捧为创造“经济奇迹”的“伟大领袖”。上世纪八十年代初,他把两地人民在五十年代辛苦建立起来,东南亚唯一的一间民办中文大学给关闭了;据他最近透露,那理由是该大学的学术水准太差,栽培不出有用的人才!据说好多年前,此老曾对当年“关闭大学”之举表露过“悔意”,有人还“沾沾自喜”,以为他终有“醒悟”的一天。谁知此番他所强调的却是,他很后悔当年没有“早些”将有关的大学关掉!能不令那些对他仍抱有奢望的人大捶心肝?
其实,“司马昭之心,路人皆知”,何须多言?西马霹雳州有位该大学的校友“骂”得好,此老是货真价实的英殖民主义者所调教出来的衣钵传人,他的“英文至上”的思维,是毫不为奇的。对于一个彻头彻尾的殖民主义追随者,人们还能有些什么样的幻想?
放眼世界各大国,它们的领袖在退休后,鲜少有再在政治舞台上“抛头露面”,发号施令的!只有在“小国寡民”的国度里,才会出现一二个自命不凡的天生“奇才”——国家不可一日或缺的“伟大领袖”!一个“种族主义者”,加上一个亲西方的“媚外者”;两个“活宝”隔海相呼应,声震马六甲海峡。这也该传为“千古佳话”,岂仅“各领风骚数百年”而已?
是可喜,还是可悲?别反问我,那是给你的问题,答不答由你!

It is true that both of these expired politicians are no more than senile elders who still cherish their good old days of their colonial masters who certainly had much use for their racial bias and their English oriented upbringing. Sad to say they could not see their woes until the very end!
回复删除While Lee Kaun Yew acts more like the running dog of US Japan is beginning to rethink their unequal relationship with the US or to distance from the West and go to stand closer to their Asian true friends. In the eyes of US, Lee is no more than outdated stooge. Mahathir on the other hand had both his hands in the blood of racial conflicts instigated by him confirmed by Nazri. He still makes much noise because his ill-gotten wealth from all sorts of corruptions is still increasing by his various henchmen namely Tuapehkon Ting, and Bintulu Tiong and other gang members less well known but not less signicant in terms of generating the bribes and loots.
