[卡通水虎传] 显龙脚车漏链，警方飞骑救主

话说星洲及时雨李显龙率领PAP众头目骑着铁马在西海岸公园闪亮登场，令网民油然想起工人党不获准在东海岸公园骑铁马一事，彼时没面目何炳基在忠义堂里说，政党主办这类活动可能引起公众秩序混乱和行为失控云云。如此厚此薄彼，果然引起网上草民哗然鼓噪。

有人投函海峡时报提出质询，警方的答复诚诚恳恳说明允准PAP嘉年华会纵马游园的理由[附文末]，文中照例重复没面目何炳基于忠义堂的陈词，并指出该活动系PAP社区基金会举办，基金会非政党，呼保义李显龙等众好汉均为特别嘉宾。文末，警方也没忘记免费为PAP这个“非政党私人基金会”打广告：“这项活动共筹得66万4千大洋的义款，分别捐给17个慈善团体，包括“Beyond Social Services, Children’s Aid Society and Chung Hwa Medical Institution。（警方还进行了调查？）”

草民读后掩卷大恸，热泪盈眶，不在话下。

根据布朗博客，海峡时报网站有人留下“读后感”，试译如下：

“LPPL，慈善团体或政党，没啥不同，同样的地点、布景、道具、导演、男女演员、咖里啡和观众。”

正是：纵马游园好汉滑铁炉，飞骑救主捕爷拿破轮。没有后事如何，并无下回分解。

附警方答复：

ST Forum 9 Sept 2008, Why WP didn’t get permit for event

I REFER to last Thursday’s letter by Mr Tan Ghee Gay, ‘Why ‘no’ and ‘yes’?', regarding police decisions with respect to the Workers’ Party’s (WP) proposed mass cycling event last year, and the carnival on Aug 31.

Police do not issue permits for outdoor political events in public places due to the potential for disorder and unruly behaviour. This applies to events organised by all political parties. For this reason, police rejected WP’s application to hold a mass cycling activity in East Coast Park, to commemorate its 50th anniversary in September last year.

The event on Aug 31 was very different. The permit was issued after taking into account the organiser and the nature of the event. It was organised by the PAP Community Foundation, which is a registered charity and not a political party. The event was not assessed to have the potential for disorder and unruly behaviour. It was a carnival that involved children and families from various kindergartens and educational institutions. The Prime Minister, as guest of honour, and a few other guests, made their entrance by cycling a short distance. During the event, a sum of $664,000 (which had been raised earlier) was distributed to 17 charities, including Beyond Social Services, Children’s Aid Society and Chung Hwa Medical Institution.
