The public says the truth of the public, and the mother-in-law speaks the way of the mother-in-law, the good and bad of this world all depend on one mouth, but people don't know that it is difficult to distinguish between black and white, and it is difficult to judge right and wrong.
In a closed room, two waves of people faced each other for sixty-five minutes across a five-foot table, and then fell to the ground with a single voice: Okay. This is the end of this scandal.
Here it isA strike in Singapore in 1980, the airline's pilots' associations went on strike and demanded a 30 percent increase in wages. Sixty-five minutes earlier, Lee Kuan Yew, then Prime Minister of Singapore, arrived immediately and had a face-to-face meeting with them.
Said to be talks,In fact, it was just Lee Kuan Yew's unilateral oppressionIn a very simple and crude way, he threw the issue of the strike back at the pilots, and made it clear that he would never be at their mercy. Lee Kuan Yew said, stop threatening, otherwise Singapore Airlines will be toppled and restarted!
At this time, the division machine is faced with two choices, one is to return to the post, and the matter is over;The second is to continue the strike and directly roll up the cover and leave. After weighing the benefits, the pilots had to choose to compromise, because they understood that Lee Kuan Yew would only backfire if they continued to threaten, and in the face of coercion, Lee Kuan Yew definitely had the domineering power to push Singapore Airlines to the top.
In the pouring rain, Lee Kuan Yew responded to the people domineeringly, the matter has been properly handled, and under the protection of Lee Kuan Yew's heroic halo, the Singaporeans are at ease. Strikes can be reported internationallyThe impact of this incident is far from overThe bond of interest behind the event is far more intriguing than the event itself.
In his speech, Lee Kuan Yew made it clear that whoever will run Singapore in the future must have an iron will, otherwise he will not even think about it.
And as far as Lee Kuan Yew is concerned, as one of the founding fathers of Singapore,It also has the honorific title of the father of the nation, he has been worthy of Singapore and the people all his life.
During his decades as Prime Minister of Singapore,Holding the power firmly in the palm of his hand, he led Singapore to political independence and economic prosperityIt was he who transformed a lifeless city-state into a global ** and financial center, a rich country in Asia second only to Japan at the time.
As Lee Kuan Yew saidHe himself is such an iron-clad man。Judging from the handling of the strike incident alone, it is not difficult for us to see the strength of his skills.
In fact, the strike should not be a big deal, it is nothing more than a mismatch in the handling of negotiations within the enterpriseBut why was it able to cause such an uproar?
First, the interests are seriously damagedThe strikes have been going on for more than a month, and the pilots' threatening behavior has affected its normal service, and to a certain extent, it has tarnished the reputation of SIA and caused people to lose basic trust in SIA.
People do not stand without trust, and enterprise competition is not only about capital and qualityIt's more important to network。SIA's strike would not cause any real damage to the quality of the aircraft, but internal instability has made people doubt its strength. Without repeat customers, no matter what business you do, it is impossible to prosper.
MoreoverThe pilots' strike directly caused the closure of SIAMillions of advertising effects and sales were destroyed in just two weeks, which will undoubtedly cause great distress to the country.
And aerospace, as the economic lifeline of the country, is closely related to the fate of the countryThe Fan country radiated by this incident encompasses the interests of the entire country, so Lee Kuan Yew had to come forward to solve the matter. If left unchecked, it will harm the interests of the people of the entire country.
Second, small countries and widows do not have the strength to bear the negative impact of a strike。Lee Kuan Yew made it clear at the beginning of Singapore's independence that Singapore has no resources, and the only resource is its people.
Singapore can only continue to develop if everyone is united and has their own responsibilities, but the current strike will undoubtedly pose a threat to Singapore's development.
In Lee Kuan Yew's view, Singapore's Singapore Airlines has a mediocre performance, and only through its superior service level can it make up for its shortcomings in performance and stand out.
And the passenger capacity of Singapore Airlines is no less than that of Qantas, which has a much larger population than Singapore, if Singapore Airlines pilots are allowed to take strike and sabotage actionsThis advantage of SIA will also be lost
Lee Kuan Yew didn't know how to run a business, but he knew how to run the country, and if he wanted to convince the people, he had to make them understand that Singapore's management was governed by a sound set of principles. What's more, SIA is not an ordinary enterprise, it is the golden sign of Singapore.
After this incident, Lee Kuan Yew directly gave a big gift to the staff of Singapore Airlines who participated in the strike and sabotageIt is the total cancellation of permanent residents, and the total deportation of foreign nationalsIt is also Lee Kuan Yew's hard-line attitude that has left a deep impression on people while Singapore continues to survive and prosper.
Therefore, Lee Kuan Yew's behavior is indeed a great way for the country.
We do not deny that Lee Kuan Yew's actions are considered from the overall situation of the country, but we also have to admit that Lee Kuan Yew's use of the company's profit loss to oppress the employees' strikes is a proper capital threat.
Not only this strike, but also in the early days of Lee Kuan Yew's administrationHis bilingual teaching, which overemphasized rote memorization, led to a loss of interest in the Chinese language for generations in Singapore, but also ruined the development of Chinese education in Singapore. It can be said that in dealing with the relationship between the state and the people, Lee Kuan Yew's strong hand will be somewhat unkind.
It is indeed not easy for a prime minister to govern the country, and decisiveness and toughness are also what he should have, but at the same time, we should also understand that countering violence with violence and killing to stop killing is an incompetent move to the end of the mountain. The real Ming Jun should be as good as water, and seek the peace of the country and the people with moral education.
And behind this strike, we can also feel itSingapore's policy lapsesIf one person strikes, it may be because he is not greedy enough, but since he can afford to drive a group of people, it is also very illustrative from the side, and there is a huge error between Singapore's work efficiency and salary. can face this situation,Lee Kuan Yew, on the other hand, talked about other things, a tough attitude without leaving a trace of affection.
On horseback, we can win the world but not enough to rule the world, and if we still treat the people with the attitude of government affairs, it will only bring about the opposite effect. Water can carry boats and capsize boats, which is why there are two voices in the outside world about the Singapore Airlines strike.
Lee Kuan Yew was indeed able to achieve the big self for the country, but he failed to coordinate the small self for the family, and personal interests should be subordinated to the interests of the wholeBut we should never focus on the whole at the expense of the individual
