【新唐人2012年1月28日讯】农历新年的韩国，因为总统李明博外孙女身上的一件名牌羽绒服，而掀起舆论大波。尽管李明博遭到韩国民众的批评，但大陆的评论人士认为，这一事件反映出韩国是一个真正的民主国家，中共应该向韩国学习，让民众和舆论参与监督官员。
今年农历新年休假期间，李明博孙女穿的羽绒服成了网路搜索热词。据韩国《朝鲜日报》消息，休假第一天，21号，李明博夫妇带着外孙女一起前往传统市场。外孙女身上穿的白色羽绒服引起了外界注意。
一家媒体的网路版报导认为，这件法国名牌“蒙克里尔”羽绒服，成人版价格为300万韩元，约合人民币1万6千多元。
随后，韩国的政界人士加入批评李明博的行列。民主统合党院内发言人金裕贞通过书面表示：李明博给平民带来了无法抹去的创伤。
中国社会问题研究人士宋书元表示，这件事在韩国引发热烈议论，正说明在一个民主国家，国民对政府有监督的权力。
中国社会问题研究人士 宋书元：“这件事本身重要不重要，影响不影响他（李明博）仕途，当然要看调查的结果。但本身一个是体现民意，民众参与和使用权力，包括舆论监督，这个是非常好的。民主国家体现就体现在这方面了。”
“复旦大学国际问题研究学院——韩国朝鲜研究中心”副主任蔡建教授表示，韩国的几任总统都在制度上强调反腐败。
蔡建：“（韩国）从制度建设上做了很多工作，规定了模仿西方的公务员的财产申报制度，强制申报。不像中国，有这么多的灰色收入，监管不到的地方。我们国家在治理腐败的问题上，可能需要向韩国学习的。”
因为外孙女的一件羽绒服而给自己带来政治危机，恐怕是李明博始料不及的。香港《东方日报》报导，反观中国权贵阶层，戴名表、驾名车、穿名牌，比比皆是，但有多少个被反贪部门咬着不放的呢？
大陆网友“花果山总书记”曾曝光中共官员戴名表，其中铁道部部长盛祖光戴价值7万多的劳力士表，而一名财政厅厅长，戴了一只欧米伽镶钻表，价值估计在20万以上。此外，铁道部副部长陆东福、卫生部副部长尹力、科技部副部长张来武等，他们全都戴价值四万元以上的名表。网友质疑，这些官员的收入与消费并不相等。但最后，没有一名官员被查处。
宋书元指出，民众要求中共官员财产收入公开，已经是多年没有解决的问题。
中国社会问题研究人士 宋书元：“说明这样一个制度，它们保证的不是老百姓的权力，而是保证掩盖贪腐的罪恶。李明博这样一件事，就变为热议点，中国的热议点几乎天天都有，又怎么样呢？所以中国最终的问题是体制问题。”
蔡建还表示，根据李明博的身家，他也完全买的起这件羽绒服。
据报导，李明博当总统前就是韩国企业界的传奇，他被誉为“工薪族的神话”。据了解，他通过20多年的摸爬滚打，目前现有的财产超过了330亿韩元，约合人民币2.7亿元。

South Korean president criticized as granddaughter wears
famous brand
During the Lunar New Year in South Korea there was a large
wave of public opinion about President Lee Myung-bak’s
granddaughter who was spotted wearing a famous brand
of down jacket.
The mainland commentators believe that the incident reflects
South Korea as a true democratic country.
Although Lee was criticized by the his people, the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) should learn from Korea.
The CCP should let the public and media monitor officials.
During the Lunar New Year holiday this year, the down jacket
of Lee Myung-bak’s granddaughter became a hot internet topic.
According to the message of South Korean “Chosun Ilbo",
it was on the first day of vacation, January 21st.
Lee and his wife went to a traditional market together with their
granddaughter.
A white down jacket the granddaughter was wearing attracted
peoples’ attention.
The online version of a media reported that this French brand
“Munch Lille" down jacket has a price of 3 million won.
This is the cost for the adult version, equivalent to about RMB
16 thousand.
Subsequently, South Korea’s politicians also joined the ranks of
critics of Lee Myung-bak.
Jin Yuzhen, spokesman of Integration Democratic Party, wrote
that Lee brought the civilian population an indellible trauma.
Song Shuyuan, researcher of China’s social problems,
said this event sparking intense debate in South Korea.
This just indicates that in a democratic country, the citizens
have the power over supervising the government.
China’s social problems researcher Song Shuyuan: “If this
event is important or if it will affect Lee’s career….
Everything depends on the survey results but in it itself shows
an expression of public opinion and public participation.
It also shows the use of power, including supervision by public
opinion.
This is very good. A democratic country is displayed by this
reaction of the Korean people. “
Professor Cai Jian, deputy director of “South /North Korea
Research Center, International Studies, Fudan University"
Was of the opinion that some Korean presidents have
emphasized anti-corruption in the system.
Cai Jian: “(South Korea) have done a lot of work on system
Building and developing policy.
This imitates the property reporting system of the Western
civil servants and mandatory reporting.
Unlike China, there are so many gray incomes, outside of
regulatory reach.
When it comes to the issue of combating corruption, our
country may need to learn from South Korea."
Because of his granddaughter’s down jacket it brings Lee a
political crisis it seems he had never anticipated.
Hong Kong “Oriental Daily" reported that when looking at
Chinese official class, it’s so common to see them
Wearing famous designer watches, driving famous brands of cars
and wearing famous brands of clothes.
But just how many are firmly supervised by the anti-corruption
departments?
Netizen “Huaguuoshan Shuji” in mainland China has always
exposed the wearing famous brand watches by CCP officials.
Among of them, the Minister of Railways Ministry Sheng
Zuguang has worn a Rolex watch of over RMB 70,000.
A director of provincial department of finance wore a diamond
studded Omega, estimated price of over RMB 200,000.
Vice Minister of Railways Lu Dongfu, Vice Health Minister
Yin Li, Vice Minister of Science & Technology Zhang Laiwu
They all worn famous brand watches priced at more than
RMB 40,000 each.
Netizens questioned how the incomes and spending of these
officials don’t match but no one is investigated.
Song Shuyuan said that public requirement of disclosing CCP
officials’ property and incomes has been unresolved for years.
Song Shuyuan, China’s social problems researcher said: “Such
a system, is not for guaranteeing the people’s power.
It is being used to protect and cover up the evils of corruption.
Such an event like Lee’s granddaughter becomes a hot topic.
There are hot topics almost every day in China. What’s the
consequence? China’s ultimate issue is institutional. “
Cai Jian also said that, according to Lee’s background, he can
totally afford to purchase this down jacket.
According to reports, before becoming President Lee
Myung-bak was a legend in South Korean business community.
He was known as “the myth of wage earners.” After over 20
years’ effort, he owns property worth over 33 billion won.
This is equivalent to about RMB 270 million.
