以下是他于2012年10月22日发表于联合早报有关母校旧校舍老操场的回忆:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;">想起老操场,因为不久前是母校校庆。 </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;">一年级到六年级都在这里。老操场那时感觉是无边无际地“伟大”,尤其在“放食”时,任谁走进去了,都会眼花缭乱地被蜂拥乱窜的学生海洋吞噬掉。一年级到六年级,顶多也就12岁,但那些噪音,那些吹弹得破的笑脸,那些还不必认识日子的天真,很惊人的。 </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;">诡异是,人越老,就越记得更早前的事。这老操场,清楚极了。 </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;">在街那边的一幅矮墙,是我们的“警察总部”。而对着校舍的高墙,就充作“贼窝”。小学生喜欢又跑又叫,多数爱玩警察捉贼。游戏很简单。一些学生扮警察,另些学生是贼,贼只要一离开贼窝就能追着来抓,抓到押回警察总部的墙边就不能动,必须等候另个贼来营救。营救也很简单,手掌打到一下就free了。我们玩到疯,其实什么都没有,却好像身后有几只UFO冲着追下来一样咿呀鬼震。那时也真的是一张白纸,警察和贼的定义或者抓与被抓的定义也都一点不懂,追的就一定是警察了,逃的就一定是贼了,糊里糊涂就一直信以为真,以为世界也就简单到那样。 </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;">那些在操场上打篮球的同学,都很讨厌我们这些玩警察捉贼的。 </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;">因为我们乱乱窜,整天都撞到那些正要投球或正要挡球的人。撞倒在地,擦破膝盖,头上起高楼,常见的事。有时也会打起来的。假如给学生巡察员逮到,两个都得抓到教务处。通常修士都不会罚先哭出来那个,这心思大家心里有数了,后来只要一被抓进教务处,个个都依依呀呀凄凉委屈地表演一番。 </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;">但修士也从来不会真的体罚我们,打得厉害的倒是老师,12英寸的木尺,打手板,像superman,老cowboy,还有教马来文的那位,都很会打。我们的肉长着一层又一层的顽皮,要打到痛,老师们看来都有点研究。打手板是不痛的,所以尺打下来要打在手指上,那才痛。通常,一个字spelled错了就打一下。假如10个字全错当然就是10下,就算只有一个字错也得挨一下。说起来要打一整班也得花些时候,大家被打惯了,发了簿子回来看看自己错了多少字就会乖乖排队走出去等打。其实气氛也不紧张,大家还打赌看谁的板子最“jak lat”,一齐苦中作乐,也就过了。 </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;">操场角头的楼梯口,是文具部。也没什么设计,柱子上挂个从上而下写着“文具部”的木牌,就用铁闸门拉起来围着一个小空间。里头倒是有位卖文具卖簿子也卖儿童图书杂志的老伯伯。现在我还记得他样子。整天ho ho ho笑,只是颇瘦,像减肥成功的华人版圣诞老人。我们要买什么,就全部堆挤在铁门外面把手拼命伸进去,拼命伸进去,我从没去想过他从里面看出来是怎个样子?一定很噩梦,一道铁闸门,永远数不清上上下下伸进来需索一切的小手,一定很像《苦海孤雏》的镜头。 </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;">小学时总是觉得从操场这一头跑到另一头已经是太远。 </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"> 但我们好像不太在意这些远近。那个时代,成长的日子里,每天、每个阶段其实都会出现它们应该出现的启示,经验的学习,跟年龄心智是互相配合的,这是那个时代还能够自然有致的幸福。 </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;">后来才都知道了,孩童时光是最快消失的。如今一个个时代下来,现在很多孩子出世没多久就已经被逼离开这个角色了。 </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 21px;">说的是呀,也进步得真快。 </span>Catholic High, Singaporehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16151073163381260526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238104727401864053.post-44211662992638584852012-07-03T11:24:00.002+08:002012-07-03T22:59:48.667+08:00李俊能 Lee Chuen Neng1969年高二毕业的李俊能校友,因在心胸科领域有贡献而获大奖。<span style="background-color: white;">今天联合早报报道:</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;">Chua Chin Kiat completed his pre-university 2 in 1971 at Catholic High School and was awarded the President Scholarship in the following year. He graduated with a First Class Honours in Bachelor of Science (Computer Science and Mathematics) from the University of Aston in 1975 on a President-cum-SAF Scholarship. He joined the Singapore Police Force in 1977.</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; text-align: justify;">
Since assuming the post of Director of Prisons in 1998, Mr Chua has been instrumental in the dynamic transformation of the Singapore Prisons Service. Challenging mindset and old ways of doing things, his "Captains of Life" vision changed the mindset of Prisons officers from one of being custodians of prisoners to captains of change – to turn offenders into responsible and contributing citizens.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; text-align: justify;">
Under his leadership, the Singapore Prison Service introduced several breakthrough initiatives such as the Yellow Ribbon Project, the Community Action for the Rehabilitation of Ex-Offenders (CARE) network, the establishment of Kaki Bukit Centre (KBC) as a Prison School, the introduction of the Rehabilitation Framework for inmates and virtual prison visits. Through his efforts, the Singapore Prison Service is today among the world’s most progressive prison systems with impressive results for their rehabilitation initiatives.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent;">He recently published a book </span><span style="background-color: transparent;">titled "The Making of Captains of Lives - Prison Reform in Singapore: 1999 to 2007" which</span><span style="background-color: transparent;"> tells a story of successful prison
reform that brought the recidivism rate of prisoners down from 44% to
24%. In the process of this reform, the entire Prison Service was
transformed from a custody focused mindset to a rehabilitation centred
culture. This change was wrought despite the lack of enthusiasm of the
then political leadership.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He describes his personal role in the reform effort, the
methodology used to engender change in organizational culture and the
struggles for the soul of the prison service and the hearts and minds of
all those involved. These include organizations involved in the
aftercare of ex-offenders, volunteers who came forward to assist in the
efforts and the families and employers of offenders and ex-offenders.
The journey ends with the Yellow Ribbon Project that now embodies the
rehabilitative efforts for ex-offenders.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The Making of Captains of Lives</i> is a personal account of a
public sector leader who has helped built a highly efficient prison
system in Singapore, providing a strong case study for successful change
management and public sector leadership. It will encourage the hearts
of all those civil servants who believe in serving their nations and
societies by devoting themselves to a worthy cause in their day-to-day
work.</span></div>

<br />
</span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: SimSun;">双语政策绝对是好,建立双语优势完全有必要,但将双语政策落实到行动中最重要。双语教育的成功不仅仅是看学生在学校学习双语的成绩如何,更看学生离开学校之后有没有继续使用双语,如果在学校学双语,离开学校就变成单语者,双语教育的成功就要大大打折扣了。</span><span style="font-family: SimSun;"><br />
<br />
</span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: SimSun;">双语政策尚未成功,国人仍需努力。</span><span style="font-family: SimSun;"><br />

<br />
It's the second such award for the division in three years and was given for its performance in areas such as investigation and professionalism.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
The division has seen some high-profile cases in the last year.<br />
<br />
One such case was that of the "Heartbeat Molester", a 48-year-old man who outraged the modesty of 28 girls in 11 years.<br />
<br />
Assistant Commissioner of Police Hsu Sin Yun, Commander, Ang Mo Kio Police Division, said: "As with any police unit or any organisation ... we will recognise the good work, the good arrests, the good service that officers provide to the community ... But more importantly, is to appeal to the officers' sense of mission, their passion for police work to help the community keep their premises, their areas free from crime.<br />
<br />
"And I think that's a much stronger motivator to our officers compared to whatever awards we can give them."<br />
<br />
He added that seeing the arrests of criminals and the community feeling safer in their environment pushed police officers to work that much harder for the community.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><div id="articlePlaceHolder" style="width: 660px;"><div class="bodyText" id="articlePage0" style="clear: both; display: inline; float: left; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; overflow-y: hidden; padding-top: 10px; visibility: visible; width: 660px;">. </div></div></span></span></div>Catholic High, Singaporehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16151073163381260526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238104727401864053.post-73387351467662283922011-05-18T13:30:00.003+08:002011-05-24T09:38:12.314+08:00Chen Show Mao 陈硕茂<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9yv1fVTmnZ8iS748uDJPUbL3ImNvMi0ur_F2evO5AbMBApTzrQbcaMqarhw3_n7KcnM7SMibAHvjBRobYE2XPm__FK8yFkK4QnyJbF8WpjpEXdu3jO1LiWaJ6wx0VKMBMmtja7-EmIRj/s1600/Chen+Shao+Mao.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9yv1fVTmnZ8iS748uDJPUbL3ImNvMi0ur_F2evO5AbMBApTzrQbcaMqarhw3_n7KcnM7SMibAHvjBRobYE2XPm__FK8yFkK4QnyJbF8WpjpEXdu3jO1LiWaJ6wx0VKMBMmtja7-EmIRj/s320/Chen+Shao+Mao.jpg" width="222" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">陈硕茂于1974/75年就读于公教中一/中二。最近因以在野党工人党的身份,在5月7日的大选中中选为国会议员而声名大噪。以下是Wikipedia对他的介绍:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chen_Show_Mao">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chen_Show_Mao</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Chen was born in Taiwan and moved to Singapore at the age of 11. He studied at Nanyang Primary School, Catholic High School and Anglo-Chinese School. Chen was the president of the students’ council at National Junior College and graduated as the top student in Singapore for the 1979 “A” level examinations, scoring straight As in Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics B as well as A1s for General Paper and Chinese. Although Chen had yet to become a Singapore Citizen, he chose to serve National Service. During National Service, Chen served as an infantry platoon commander at the Fifth Singapore Infantry Regiment (5SIR) and as Brigade Adjutant, or DYS1, at the headquarters of the Third Singapore Infantry Brigade (3SIB). He took up citizenship in 1986, six years after serving National Service.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Despite graduating as the top student for the 1979 “A” level examinations, Chen did not gain admission into the local medical school. Thereupon, he pursued his undergraduate studies with Major in Economics at Harvard University. Chen graduated from Harvard University in 1986 and from Corpus Christi College, Oxford University in 1988, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. In 1992 Chen received his Juris Doctor from Stanford Law School and in 2005 received his M.A. from Corpus Christi College, Oxford University.<br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">During his time abroad, Chen regularly returned home to Singapore to visit his parents, his sister and her family. In 2007, he visited the headquarters of the Workers’ Party of Singapore, and found, over a period of time, a meeting of minds on their shared goals for Singapore's future. Subsequently, he became a member of the Workers’ Party of Singapore. Upon his entry into Singapore politics, he was referred to as the Workers' Party "star catch" by the local press. This was mainly because Singapore's opposition parties had previously struggled to recruit top-calibre candidates with profiles comparable to Chen, due to the oppressive political climate which is present in the country.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Chen stated that he joined the Workers' Party because he believed that "the best way to ensure good governance for Singapore is through the growth of a competitive opposition that offers a credible alternative to the party in government". During an interview, Chen frankly explained why he decided to join the Workers' Party of Singapore:<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Certainly, my friends in the PAP are in a better position to formulate policy and implement policy in the short term, and therefore, have a greater impact on people's life, people's livelihood over the short term. But I think what I am doing is just as important. Perhaps more important over the long term and that is to help build up a credible opposition that in time is capable to form an alternative government. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">On 27 April 2011, Chen submitted his candidacy for the five-member Aljunied Group Representation Constituency with the Workers' Party of Singapore chief <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Low Thia Khiang</span>, Chairman Sylvia Lim, Pritam Singh, a postgraduate law student, and Muhamad Faisal Manap, a freelance counsellor. The incumbent team included two cabinet ministers and one Senior Minister of State, and was helmed by the prominent Foreign Affairs Minister, George Yeo. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">During the intense nine-day campaign period that followed, Chen was singled out by leaders of the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) for criticism. The PAP's Organising Secretary and Minister for Education, Dr Ng Eng Hen, questioned Chen's motives for entering politics in a letter to The Straits Times. Ng also questioned whether Chen would be able to relate to the aspirations of Singaporeans after having spent most of his career in the United States and China. The PAP's co-founder and former Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew also suggested that Chen could return to China after losing in the election.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Throughout the campaign, Chen conducted himself in a humble and statesmanlike manner, refusing to get drawn into mudslinging contests despite numerous provocations from the PAP. However, he sought to emphasize his ties to Singapore, addressing rally crowds in Malay and Hokkien to dispel the perception that he was 'foreign'. He also highlighted at a Workers' Party rally that he came to Singapore at a young age with his parents and sister, that he served National Service, and that he owns an apartment in Bishan and frequently commutes by MRT train.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">On 7 May 2011, Chen and his Workers' Party team won the Aljunied GRC with 54.71% of the total votes cast, with Yeo's PAP team obtaining 45.29% of the votes. The victory was considered historic because it was the first time in history that a GRC had been captured by an opposition party, and the first time ever that two cabinet ministers had lost their seats in a general election. Chen became the first foreign-born opposition MP in the history of Singapore, while his teammates Sylvia Lim and Muhamad Faisal Manap became the first-ever female opposition MP and the first-ever Malay opposition MP respectively, since independence. Also, together with Pritam Singh and Muhamad Faisal bin Abdul Manap, he became the first 3 opposition MPs to be elected into parliament at the first attempt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>Catholic High, Singaporehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16151073163381260526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238104727401864053.post-45899247354220916642011-04-13T13:56:00.005+08:002011-04-13T17:44:10.324+08:00刘威海 Bill Liu Wei Hai<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLlH2oSUkaLzuGnHGCixNknh1_LvqQrwEx6Z2LhG570FbbCUNK1iW-XxaOShZEjHBT52UhqBwes-0-R5OlIQ6mgHEmjQhzNz7ARhFGZYnlGJgLAME1vgh9puVK8JZIVtyMRITlM84OS2tE/s1600/Bill+Liu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLlH2oSUkaLzuGnHGCixNknh1_LvqQrwEx6Z2LhG570FbbCUNK1iW-XxaOShZEjHBT52UhqBwes-0-R5OlIQ6mgHEmjQhzNz7ARhFGZYnlGJgLAME1vgh9puVK8JZIVtyMRITlM84OS2tE/s200/Bill+Liu.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">William Liu completed his secondary 4 in 1963 at Catholic High School. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He retired as Chief Executive Officer of IT and e-commerce business Green Dot Capital in 20007. But, barely after six months into his retirement, he started with his former business associates Stream Global, an IT venture catalyst firm. <span style="color: windowtext;">The firm, which operates out of a 1,000 sq ft office in Genting Lane, focuses on companies in the infocomm, digital media and mobile technologies sector.</span> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: windowtext;"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He is the Chairman and Managing Partner of the company. Unlike a venture capital company, a venture catalyst - a term coined by him - not only invests in start-ups but also mentors its young entrepreneurs.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From 2001 to 2006 he was President of Green Dot Capital Pte Ltd, which invested in start-up and early stage companies, globally. It was also the holding company of Singapore Computer Systems Ltd and SNP Corporation Ltd, both were listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Prior to joining Green Dot Capital, he was the President & CEO of ABACUS International, Asia’s premier Global Distribution Systems (GDS) and Computer Reservations Systems (CRS) company and a joint venture company with Sabre, Inc of USA.

Mr Liu was actively involved in IDA’s 2015 “Intelligent Nation, A Global City powered by Infocomm” Master Plan, sitting on 3 sub-committees, viz.

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He says that starting Stream Global was a case of better late than never. 'If I were to start all over again, I would do it earlier as it is good to try things when you are young. Then, I would have had a longer time to decide if owning a business is really what I want to do,' he says.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These days, he reckons he drinks more coffee than ever before, thanks to daily meetings with potential and existing mentees to review their business strategies.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But he still has time to pursue his interests such as qigong. He has stopped playing golf due to a frozen shoulder.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While his wife supports his decision to work, she feels that he should not stress himself too much either. 'She knows that I tend to exert myself too much,' he says.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">'But working keeps me mentally and physically fit, especially now that I enjoy what I am doing. It gives me satisfaction to be able to offer my experience and contribute to the creative and innovative eco- system,' he says.</span><br />

Brother Joseph, our ex-Principal shares his thoughts and memories of Brother Noel. </div><br />
_____________<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">On the demise of Bro. Noel Wang, Friday afternoon, 8th April , when I heard the news from Bro. Thomas Chin, my immediate superior, I was about to have my interview with an important personage none other than Rev. Bro. John Klein, an American, the General Councillor from Marist Brothers Generalate, Rome, My personal feeling is that of perplexity, very difficult to describe. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I know Bro. Noel Wang (Wang Shouan Hui) since our childhood days: He was born in Baxian, near Beijing on 25th Dec. 1927 Christmas Day-- Noel in French, and I was born in Beijing 21 Nov. the same year. So I was more than a month his senior. But in real life, I was his senor all the time: In secondary school juniorate and novitiate, Chala, Beijing he was a year behind me, I left China in 1949, he came out of China in 1950 after the Liberation, and when I finished my B.A. at Marist College Poughkeepsie N. Y. and came to teach at Catholic High School, Queen St. Singapore, he managed to come to Bukit Mertajam and teach in a Primary School. When I was appointed Principal at Catholic High 1960 , he managed to work under me as Senior Teacher Primary Morning Session till I left CHS in 1974, he then was shifted to Maris Stella High School to teach.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Somewhere between 1964 and 1968 he had his study leave to obtain his B.A. Chinese Lit. at JouHai University, Hong Kong before re-joining the Catholic High staff.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I spent 14 years at St. Francis Xavier's College, Hong Kong, Kowloon and 6 years Rome, Italy then finally I settled in Singapore 1994 at Flower Road , Upper Serangoon to live in the same Community with Bro. Noel Wang after his having worked in Singapore , Ipoh, Taiwan Kaohsiung in ongoing formation in Rome at Fratelli Maristi EUR Roma where we could meet for more than half a year.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, you see I could very well say Bro. Noel has been my life companion even during his long, long sickness in the last few years of his earthly abode. I could very well confirm that the late Bro. Noel was up-right in his conduct, sincere to his belief and an outstanding educator ...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table>他比西方人更了解中国、也比中国人更懂得西方。正因他从容地结合中西方文化和经济的优势,新龙国际(SiS International)主席兼总裁林嘉丰成功打造了一个分销王国。<br />
<br />
毕业自公教和华初,林嘉丰有着深厚的华族文化底蕴,但他当时不随波逐流,1978年毅然选择到美国深造,还报读了当时非常冷门的学科——工商管理。不过几年美国的求学生涯,让他摒弃了很多传统和局限,明白了只要有心去实现,梦想也可以成真。<br />
<br />
林嘉丰日前受访时忆述了当年上的第一堂市场行销课程时的情景。他说:“教授问我‘你干吗抄个不停?’(新加坡学生的习惯)他说你不用抄,这些都是我讲给你听的,你若只会把我所告诉你的再转述给我听,那你市场行销的能力差得一塌糊涂。”<br />
<br />
他恍然大悟,于是摒弃了很多传统的思维方式,开始乐于创新,并大胆尝试新事物。<br />
<br />
林嘉丰1981年回国后继续服兵役时,微型电脑还被当成一项新科技引入到军事。他当时赫然发现,一些在欧美很容易买到的微型电脑,在东南亚却很难觅得,他因此挖掘到了商机。<br />
<br />
独具慧眼的林嘉丰很快意识到,这股高科技旋风很快将登陆本区域,而当时正是个将高科技产品引进区域的时机。他于是在短短10年里,建立起一个完善的分销系统和庞大的经销商网络,为厂商的产品提供了全方位的服务,赢得了市场的口碑。新龙国际共代理了苹果、惠普、IBM、联想、微软等众多世界知名品牌的产品,拥有超过近万家各地经销商,成为香港的“微电脑分销大王”。<br />
<br />
被问及成功秘诀,林嘉丰指出,当时“知己知彼”,对亚洲和西方都了解,才让他有机会从一家由零做起的小公司,在众多海外竞争对手中脱颖而出。<br />
<br />
他说:“西方企业的做法和我们华人不一样,他们比较注重短期成效,不会考虑三到六个月以后发生的事。换句话说,若六个月内没有成绩,他们就退出。这给了我们很好的机会,我们就从长计议,成功取得市场份额。”<br />
<br />
林嘉丰也指出,西方企业的文化是铁面无私,今天可以与你很好,但明天不合就马上分。相反的东方人比较讲感情,重关系,这教会了他如何随机应变,与什么类型的生产商打交道,就用什么样的方法。<br />
<br />
此外,林嘉丰也懂得用人,拥有一支能干的团队,很多员工都与他拼了二三十年,林嘉丰也从来不摆老板的架子,虽然掌管年营收超过10亿美元的大企业,平时公干还是和员工一起搭经济舱。<br />
<br />
林嘉丰对此,只轻描淡写地讲了一句:“短短几小时,经济舱与否,又有什么分别?”<br />
<br />
就这样,林嘉丰将当时一个新加坡的小公司,漂洋过海到香港和泰国上市,这位“过江龙”乘风破浪,不仅成功打入市场,还占了市场的领导地位。去年11月底,新龙国际以不少于1亿3000万美元(1亿7000万新元),脱售旗下在新加坡、香港及马来西亚的资讯科技分销业务。 <br />
<br />
买家是怡和控股(Jardine Matheson)旗下的怡和科技(JardineOne Solution,JOS),它是一家以资讯科技服务及方案主导的公司,也是新龙国际20多年的竞争对手。<br />
<br />
尽管获得买家垂青,林嘉丰并不满足于此。他说,2011年是个非常具挑战性的一年,因为他又要进军新的领域,把新加坡、香港和马来西亚的IT业务从分销的层面上“更上一层楼”到分销管理服务(distribution management services),与海外财雄势大的竞争对手一较高低。<br />
<br />
新龙已经承诺两年内为怡和科技所收购的这些分销业务提供管理服务,并按月收取固定费用。<br />
<br />
这家公司也将利用脱售资产的所得,到全球其他市场拓展分销管理的新业务,比如新兴市场如中国、印度、越南和柬埔寨等,让其资讯科技分销业务在当地发扬光大。<br />
<br />
新龙国际去年的营收突破10亿美元大关,是本地在海外创业的成功例子。公司于1983年成立,1992年在香港证交所上市,2004年又在泰国上市。这家公司在本地注册,由林嘉丰和其姐夫林惠海、哥哥林家铭一起打理。<br />
<br />
记者采访林嘉丰正好在2010年的最后一天,也就是新旧年交替的那天。日以继夜不断耕耘的林嘉丰说:“过了今天午夜,一切又必须从零开始,以前的业绩只不过是历史。”<br />

___________________<br />
<br />
2011年2月18日,星期五,我终于60岁,变成老阿伯。<br />
<br />
60岁衰老的脸,60岁退化的脑袋,使我越来越减分,忘记关门,忘记关灯,忘记关电视,是近年常有的事,朋友说“你这个糊涂蛋,别忘了穿裤上街!”<br />
<br />
这点我肯定不会忘记,外祖母在家教我规矩,老师在学校教我礼貌,他们教导有方,使我终生得益,妈妈教我唱的《小小洞房》《孤儿乐园》《妈妈好》我也牢牢记住,她的嗓子那么动听,不灌录唱片传世,真是可惜。<br />
<br />
妈妈为我主持过一次生日会,那年我九岁,满脸天真,她订了个漂亮的蛋糕,摆满一桌子的甜品美食,被盛情邀请的邻居小朋友们,笑嘻嘻闹哄哄,一唱完生日歌曲就吵着要吃,外祖母及妈妈为了伺候他们,忙得天翻地覆,那是我一生人中,最快乐单纯的生日,谢谢妈妈和外祖母。<br />
<br />
往后的生日,逐渐失去了单纯性,脑袋随着人的成长,越变越复杂,举例说某些机构,因为我有被利用价值,所以要为我庆祝生日,跟我结交为“商业良朋”,把我好好的利用,榨到干绞到尽。<br />
<br />
又譬如说,那朵“出墙肥杏”为我庆祝生日,以分散其出墙的注意力。<br />
<br />
更复杂的,如果我是二战时的欧洲要人,希特勒为我庆祝生日,准是想贱价收购我的资源,运去德国制造攻击性武器,攻打自由欧洲。<br />
<br />
随着人的长大,四周环境的改变,原本单纯的生日,越变越复杂,人原本单纯的心思,不也如此?心思在影响及需求之下,越变越混浊不清,跟人脸的变化一样,婴孩刚诞生时,细皮肉滑,脸色红润。中年之后,脸部酝酿着复杂动机。成为公公婆婆后,全脸的皱纹乱成一团,外人无法从沉默的老人脸上,猜测得出他们在想什么,满怀好意还是满怀恶意,老人太复杂了哟!<br />
<br />
我常回去公教小学及中学,虽然学校已经搬迁,但我喜欢在旧的环境中,感觉童年及少年时的单纯,我们的同学交往至今,当他们知道我失去工作,生活困难,面对肝癌危险时,还出力帮助我生存,我衷心感激他们,没想到一把年纪,还感觉得到那份单纯,他们也在合力照顾张世典校长,大家都尊敬他深爱他。<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the role of SFCCA, which celebrated its 25th anniversary at a gala dinner last week, he says: 'It was the importance of clan associations in the community and what they could do to preserve the good old values for the younger generation that convinced me to take up the challenge.'</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Far from being irrelevant and outdated, Chinese clan associations have a role to play in society, he says.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He recalls how the early clan associations were set up by immigrants to help fellow clansmen related to one another by the same surname, dialect group or the province, county, area and even village in China where they came from.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'When Singapore was still ruled by the British, the Chinese community had to take care of its own members, and clan associations played the important role of providing basic social services such as education and health care,' he says.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although the Government has taken over most of these roles since Singapore achieved self-government in 1959, he feels that the charitable and selfless spirit of the forefathers who set up the clan associations and provided for the poor and needy should be preserved and promoted.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'This is social capital which can contribute to building a nation of people who care, not a younger generation of selfish individuals who care only about themselves and go after material things,' he says.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As he sees it, another urgent task for the clan associations lies in integrating new Chinese immigrants who have arrived in large numbers from China recently.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unlike the earlier generation of Chinese immigrants who came here to build a new life and future, he observes that many newcomers are here in search of better opportunities but have no sense of belonging.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'We need to help them integrate into our society and see Singapore as more than a place to work and buy a house to live in.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'As Singapore's birth rate is still far from the replacement level, we must continue to welcome new immigrants and foreign talents to help our economy grow,' says Mr Lee.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To prevent the emergence of a divided Chinese community in future, he wants to forge closer ties between Singapore- born Chinese and new Chinese immigrants.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One way is to bring the newly formed new immigrant groups into the Chinese clan federation's fold. There are now six such groups: Tianjin Club, Shanxi Association, Hua Yuan Association, Tian Fu Club, Kowloon Club, and the Singapore Chinese Scholars and Students Association.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'If left to themselves, the new Chinese immigrant groups may develop in another direction and the two groups can end up suspicious of each other. It will be a problem,' he cautions.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Noting that the new immigrant groups have expressed interest in joining the federation, Mr Lee says: 'Many told me they find living in Singapore interesting as they can meet Chinese from all over China here.'</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the immediate plans of the federation, he says the strength of his secretariat will be increased from the present 10 to 17 or 18 members.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'We need more event organisers and a bigger communications team because connecting and reaching out to members and informing them about our programmes will be our priorities,' he adds.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The number of its governing council members will be expanded to allow more clan associations to participate in the decision-making process.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are now 15 members on its present council, with seven seats reserved for representatives from its seven founding member clans: Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan, Teochew Poit Ip Huay Kuan, Singapore Kwang Tung Association, Nanyang Khek Community Guild, Singapore Hainan Hwee Kuan, Sam Kiang Huay Kuan and Singapore Foochow Association.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'So with only eight seats in the council open to contest at each election, few will have the chance to be on the governing council,' he points out.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By increasing the number of members on the council, the process of leadership renewal can be speeded up, he says.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chinese language and culture is another area which the federation wants to promote this year. An annual cultural award will be instituted soon to recognise clans which excel in the promotion of Chinese culture and the arts.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Noting that the Chinese operas of all the major dialect groups are practised and performed by local groups, he says: 'They should be promoted and the federation will help the clans do so.'</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The federation is also offering five annual scholarships to students for undergraduate studies in top Chinese universities.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The federation's headquarters in Lorong 2, Toa Payoh, which occupies the premises of a former primary school, will be undergoing a major makeover soon.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last month, the federation closed the kindergarten in its headquarters after 20 years because of dwindling enrolment. It will make room for 'a historical corridor or passage' where the history of Chinese clan associations in Singapore can be told in words and pictures.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'We want our visitors to feel the spirit of selflessness and charity of our forefathers and understand our past when they step into our premises,' he says.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In his view, the future of Chinese clan associations lies in the younger generation. Each clan association has to address the problem of not attracting enough young members.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'They have to recruit more young talent and organise activities appealing to the young and to have them interested in their past,' he says.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He had already persuaded his daughter Anne to be the youth group leader at Kong Chow Wui Koon last year and hopes his son will join them at the clan association when he can find the time.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'I have even started taking my four-year-old grandson to the clan association's activities,' he quips.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div>Catholic High, Singaporehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16151073163381260526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238104727401864053.post-23200207614826604142011-01-23T17:32:00.003+08:002011-01-24T09:35:49.669+08:00Martin Huang 黄祥瑞:被少女起诉索赔1月29日联合早报报道:<br />
.<br />
一名少女声称她找知名整形外科医生黄祥瑞进行疤痕缝合术,却被护士扯下内裤拍摄照片,她备受侮辱。不过,医生辩称少女同意拍摄有关照片,且是为了管理她的病情。 <br />

这名17岁少女去年11月29日在母亲和妹妹的陪同下,到位于百利宫(Paragon)的手术中心The Specialist Surgery And Laser Centre,接受由整形外科医生黄祥瑞(Martin Huang,49岁)操刀的疤痕缝合与脂肪重塑手术。<br />
<br />
少女指黄医生和几个护士在手术前擅自拉下她的内裤,拍摄她一丝不挂的下身。少女认为黄医生等人的行为侮辱和伤害了她,起诉黄医生和手术中心,要求对方交出照片和赔偿。<br />
<br />
根据上个月入禀的起诉状,少女未成年,由她的母亲在手术前代她签署同意书接受手术和麻醉。同时,少女的母亲也确认她明白手术中心会拍摄少女的照片存入病历档案。<br />

<br />
当身旁的同事和朋友知道新传媒艺人郑斌辉,接受人民行动党青年团邀请出席昨早举行的政治论坛时,第一个反应是“确定了啦,郑斌辉这次一定会出来竞选!”<br />
<br />
接着,他最常被问的问题是“什么时候大选?到哪个集选区?”<br />
<br />
郑斌辉昨天向参加论坛的年轻人澄清,关于他即将从政的消息纯属谣言,表明自己还未被行动党领导人邀请参加物色候选人的茶会,不会代表行动党参加来届大选。<br />
<br />
自从本报去年3月独家报道郑斌辉是行青团成员后,坊间一直揣测郑斌辉将在近日内从政。<br />
<br />
他在论坛结束接受记者访问时表示他对政治存有浓厚兴趣,如果有朝一日被邀出来竞选,他必定会认真考虑。<br />
<br />
“基于我对政治的兴趣,加上到了我这个年龄,如果可以为社会和其他人作一些贡献,我应该是会义不容辞。如果真的被邀请,我觉得是一种荣誉,我绝对不会轻易地拒绝,会慎重地考虑。”<br />
<br />
那新加坡社会是否能接受艺人担任议员呢?<br />
<br />
郑斌辉认为不应该低估新加坡人的成熟度和接受度。“我坚信凡事都有可能。无论是演员、歌手或从事任何工作的人,只要是真心爱护我们的国家,有正直的人格,为什么不可能呢?重要的是,这个人是否能有所贡献,而非他的职业。”<br />
<br />
昨天上午,郑斌辉和丹戎巴葛集选区国会议员马炎庆同150名年轻人进行约两个小时的对话会,轻松分享他们对政治、名人参加政治、议员的公众形象等的看法。<br />
郑斌辉坦言,名人效益确实能对政治家的工作有一定的帮助,然而最终还是得靠个人实力才能为民服务,赢得选民的信任。<br />
<br />
<br />
向来关心本地政治动态的他,希望有一天能见到内阁部长与反对党代表在电视上,针对热门课题进行辩论。“我觉得这样做能加强公众对这些课题的认识,同时也能让他们更关心政治发展。”<br />
<br />
马炎庆也谈到年轻一代议员与老一代议员的不同之处,以前的议员形象比较严肃认真,现在的议员比较善于透过各种媒介,包括社交网站等拉进与选民的距离。<br />
<br />
行青团主席、社会发展、青年及体育部兼交通部高级政务次长张思乐也参加了昨天的论坛。行青团今年将举办系列的论坛,让团员有机会同商界领袖和各界名人交流,多了解社会和商界动态。<br />

</tbody></table>校友谢佳霖(1976年中四)于12月12日刊登于联合早报的访谈中把手术与艺术联系。以下是访谈的内容。<br />
<br />
很多跟著名眼科医生谢佳霖第一次见面的人,都觉得他外表比实际岁数年轻,怎么看都不像刚年过半百的中年人。今年50岁的他,虽然是经验老到的眼科医生,但是却充满设计天分,曾为乌节路一带的豪华公寓设计示范单位,更是跑车爱好者,家里经常更换跑车款。 <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>从小对跑车情有独钟 </strong><br />
<br />
在位于Camden Medical Centre的诊所访问他,一头打理得时髦的浓密头发,西装笔挺,说起话来滔滔不绝。他并不掩饰自己喜爱跑车,大方地分享从服兵役后就开始存钱买跑车的嗜好。 <br />
<br />
他说:“我从小就对跑车情有独钟,爸爸妈妈不爱这些东西,但是哥哥和姐姐驾的车款是意大利车飞霞(Fiat)和丰田Toyota Celica跑车款,在70年代,这已经很具吸引力。”虽然年纪小,无法考车,但是喜爱跑车的苗子已深埋心底。 <br />
<br />
进入服役年龄,他受训半年后,顺利申请到公共服务委员会(PSC)奖学金,在本地的大学读医科5年。他说:“读完书再回去当兵,当时的薪水是1200元,不用养家,存够钱后买的第一辆车是万事达Mazda 323 GT,属于跑车款,3万元。驾两三年后就卖掉,还赚了几千元。”之后,他买丰田Toyota MR2,正式向玩跑车进军。<br />
<br />
谢医生驾过许多不同跑车,如法拉利、保时捷等,但目前家里只留下三辆车子,一辆价格过百万的蓝宝基尼(Lamborghini)Murcielago V12,一辆日产GTR,另一辆是宝马525型家用车。他最常驾到诊所的是日产GTR,“主要是引擎性能非常好,比Lambor还特出,而且价格只有Lambor的三分一,另一原因是声音没那么吵!” <br />
<br />
他最喜欢蓝宝基尼跑车。他享受参加蓝宝基尼跑车俱乐部的活动,经常组队到马来西亚跑车。“通常,我们清晨6时出发到柔佛,在那里吃早餐,如牛肉面、印度煎饼等,聊天聚会,来回100多公里,都是由经验丰富的人带路,我们不跑高速公路,而是其他弯曲的小路,中午前回到新加坡,挺好玩的!”他平均每个月参加一次这类活动。 <br />
<br />
他说:“跑车越玩越难脱身,有点骑虎难下的感觉,如果你要我拿这么多钱买一辆新的跑车玩,根本付不起,都是用抵价(trade in)的方式,旧的替换新的,这样继续有新款跑车可以驾。” <br />
<br />
星期二访问谢医生,他刚从英国回来,他说去那里帮忙打点大儿子(16岁)的寄宿学校(boarding school)事宜。“新加坡的教育制度给学生很多压力,到英国读书比较好,一年多后毕业,回来服兵役,之后再打算是否再回去读大学。” <br />
<br />
<strong>儿子喜欢跑车吗?</strong> <br />
<br />
谢医生说:“比我还厉害,他小时候只要看到跑车的防撞杆(Bumper),就可以说出车子的款型,我有时还输他。不过,我可养不起爱玩跑车的孩子,哈哈哈!”本地举行的三次F1夜间赛车,父子都没错过。 <br />
<br />
<strong>引进“四合一”手术</strong> <br />
<br />
谢佳霖医生行医26年,他形容手术好比艺术一样,要求完美,更要求精准。 <br />
<br />
谢医生是本地Optimax屈光中心的医务总监,也是新加坡眼科协会卸任主席,是引进这项“四合一”手术的第一个亚洲医生。这种全新的多焦点激光矫正技术PAC,除了近视、远视和散光外,它还能有效地矫正老花眼。<br />
<br />
谢医生从1990年至2005年,在新加坡全国眼科中心(SNEC)工作,曾担任中心青光眼研究部门主管多年。之后,他离开中心,加入私人机构,在博燕综合医疗诊所工作。 <br />
<br />
他说:“这是一家销售保健补品的公司,也设立癌症、心脏、眼科部门,我是在眼科部门工作。当时诊所购买了一台先进的PAC‘多焦度准分子激光原位角膜塑形’仪器,我到法国受训后回新,开始进行这项本地全新的眼科手术。2008年,博燕结束营业,我用30万元左右买下它的眼科部门,然后成立Optimax屈光中心,这是英国和马来西亚集团的公司,为病人提供激光矫正视力和其他眼疾医疗服务。” <br />
<br />
谢医生说,以往人们以为激光手术只可解决近视问题,如果同时患有散光和老花,就必须再安排时间另做手术,不仅要多付昂贵手术费,也得花更多时间恢复。 <br />
<br />
PAC眼科手术源自法国一名医生设计的软件,能通过尼德克准分子激光机(NIDEX Excimer Laser)治疗老花问题;它采用多区域激光切除概念来制造一个“多焦度”角膜,帮助眼球“恢复”其对近物的对焦视力,同时加强观看远物的视力。 <br />
<br />
这种以激光一次过矫正四种视力问题,只需10分钟,给予病人更大方便。到目前为止,谢医生已进行数千宗这类手术。 <br />
<br />
<strong>免费眼睛检查“巡岛”服务</strong> <br />
<br />
谢医生经常受邀到国内外进行讲座,最令他印象深刻的是在新加坡筹办2006年“亚太眼科学会大会”(Asia Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology Congress),约2500名与会者中包括国内外著名眼科医生和专家等。他说,这是继1990年,本地著名眼科医生林少明教授筹办的“国际眼科大会”(ICO)之后,本地最具规模的国际眼科大会。谢医生说:“当时,我是亚太眼科学会大会的主席,压力很大,很多国家都希望筹办这类国际级的大会,这对提升新加坡的在国际间的医疗地位有帮助,此外也对旅游业有益。” <br />
<br />
以前担任眼科协会会长时,谢佳霖医生经常主办义务眼科服务,帮助盲人协会筹款,或是给贫穷人士免费验眼。今年,他开始“巡岛”服务,到工厂区开免费讲座,给予员工免费眼睛检查、测眼压等。他说,一些员工对自己患上眼疾如青光眼等都不知道,对眼睛检查也了解不多。至今,已到本地三四家大型工厂义诊,几千人受惠。 <br />
<br />
<strong>设计示范单位</strong> <br />
<br />
2007年,吉宝置业推出The Ritz Residences豪华公寓,现改名为The Suites @ Central,每平方英尺约1500元,找了三人设计示范单位,希望在当时经济前景不明朗的情况下,能刺激销售数字。名单中,有谢佳霖的名字。<br />
<br />
这个33层楼高的永久地契项目,坐落于德文莎路(Devonshire Road)和圣多马径(St Thomas Walk)的The Suites,是一个拥有157个单位的豪华共管公寓项目。 <br />
<br />
除了谢佳霖医生之外,其他两人是贺诗(HAACH)总裁Ponz吴敏芳,着重设计属于名媛的口味;另一个是退休银行家。谢佳霖医生说:“我走的是专业人士路线,墙壁是黑色的,家具黑白为主调,配上吊灯等等,大概放了两个月,然后举行party,请受邀人士来参观,帮助推销一下。”那时,谢医生刚好搬家,亲自构思室内设计,因此设计示范单位不是问题。 <br />
<br />
<strong>成绩如何?</strong> <br />
<br />
“反应很好,大家都觉得设计得不错。不过,发展商没有给我优惠价购买,否则现在就赚大钱了,哈哈哈!” <br />
<br />
他说,艺术与设计需要很多创意,但是当眼科医生为病人动手术时,就不能把创意放在里头,它非常讲求精准,差分毫都不行。Catholic High, Singaporehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16151073163381260526noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238104727401864053.post-11769537786756695712010-11-13T22:13:00.005+08:002010-11-17T17:08:19.213+08:00莊永康 Chong Wing Hong:叩问传统<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUN8XFtxhUtjXhTiVUjJV7jZ_0o05DVtHe4pwrtuGj2B3EN8J20Tx9uki7p8M8XISF0ajEgg2sZ1ikq9cq7zsAaiveBMVv8aqwDbGmO0eJxZHs8zfrcQcfz9z4y18Xn12K4VCgjWJKFwdE/s1600/Chong+Wing+Hong.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUN8XFtxhUtjXhTiVUjJV7jZ_0o05DVtHe4pwrtuGj2B3EN8J20Tx9uki7p8M8XISF0ajEgg2sZ1ikq9cq7zsAaiveBMVv8aqwDbGmO0eJxZHs8zfrcQcfz9z4y18Xn12K4VCgjWJKFwdE/s200/Chong+Wing+Hong.jpg" width="141" /></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;">校友莊永康著作</span><span lang="ZH-CN" style="color: #663300; font-family: SimSun;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">《莊永康专栏文集· 叩问传统》出版了</span>。</span></span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

以下录莊校友2005年写的一篇文章供大家参考:<br />
<br />
<span class="style8"><strong><span style="color: #313359; font-size: 16pt;">中华文化并非铁板一块</span></strong></span><br />
<br />
<span class="style8">新中两地有文友在本报言论版上辩论,什么是中华文化?中华文化是不是就等于中国文化?各执一词。坦白说,那确实“因为新加坡与中国毕竟是两个不同的国家,对于同一社会现象的理解不尽一致”,情有可原。</span><br />
<br />
<br />
是的,新加坡的写作人拥抱“中华文化”显得那么热情如火,而对接受“中国文化”一词则面有难色。为什么?没有在“南洋”生活过的中国学人,对于某些细微的差别是难以体会的,甚至觉得难以理喻。<br />
<br />
内里乾坤,主要在于:其一、新加坡是个多元种族、多元宗教的世俗国家,处在多元文化的区域。在这水域里面,“同化”两字是相当敏感的,本区域任何种族之中都有反应极度强烈的人,不愿被他族同化。保留传统和维护民族文化的诉求,其实也不仅限于华族。<br />
<br />
说起来,新加坡把华文华语定为华人的“母语”,务实的原因之一,也就在于表示国家政策并没有强迫任何他族学习华文。当然这也会产生负面影响,人们往往被“一族一母语”的思维框住,语言的传习难以跳出族裔的范畴。实际上,一名马来族或印族国人为了想“赶搭中国顺风车”而猛学华文,是没有触犯任何法令的,也没有违背任何传统。<br />
<br />
其二、对中国学人来说,中华文化等于中国文化,那是天经地义,理所当然。不过对新加坡华人而言,“中华”与“中国”在概念上确有不同——字面上也不一样嘛!“中华”一词多涵盖文化,尤其是五千年文化这般诗意的表达;而谈到“国”字,就未免让人想到政治的层面。<br />
<br />
固然,从纯文字看,“顿成泽国”、“红豆生南国”、“国色天香”的“国”,是没有政治意涵的。但从冷战时代过来的人,在不同体制内生活过的人,对“国”字无疑特别敏感。在政治语汇里面,“国”可以是“一个阶级压迫另一个阶级的工具”。<br />
<br />
是的,时至今日,我个人也不喜欢动辄以过度敏感的字眼来论文化,到头来也论不出个所以然。我只想说明,任何阴影的存在都是客观的事实,不必掩耳盗铃假设事情从来没有发生,也不必纠缠不清,让过去的阴影形成我们前进的羁绊。认清事实的本质,应该是我们探讨文化议题的态度。<br />
<br />
其三、华人应发扬“中华文化”,这一概念是被本地普遍接受的,至少可以公开提出来而不至于那么敏感。尤其到最近,鉴于中国改革开放带来的经济机遇,政治领导层也觉得有必要阐明,华人只要政治上效忠本土,认同中华文化毫不碍事。<br />
<br />
当然,政界的表态只不过显露气候转变了,但人们是否要多添衣裳,是否要备好帽伞,还是得拭目以待。像本地华文写作界个别人士那种拥抱中华文化的热情,终归属于少数。许多人还在想,学好华文就能搭上顺风车,有那么“神”吗?我认为,质疑态度显示新加坡人渐趋成熟,是正常的现象,不见得是件坏事。<br />
<br />
凭借着“南洋伯”的敏感,本人对中华文化素来也作了一些观察。根据专家的定义,中华文化是指从华夏文明发源,再经过约三千年沉淀而造就的汉文明。中华文化以汉族文化传统为核心,那是毫无疑问的。且看,一直到1911年完成的辛亥革命,也要打着“驱逐鞑虏”的旗号。<br />
<br />
然而,中华文化是否具有一般想像中的划一性(homogeneity),那么浑然天成?那倒是值得检视的。<br />
<br />
不错,当我们从深圳旅行到乌鲁木齐,发现中国城市现代化(也等于汉化)所产生的一致性,是令人惊讶的——是不是单调,见仁见智。而根据统计,中国人口93%是汉族。不过,与此同时,那其余的7%,却代表着55个民族。<br />
<br />
55个,是指现存的民族。在历史上消失了、被同化了、被融合了的民族,那就不计其数了。那么在中华文化铸就的过程中,汉以外的这些民族所贡献出来的血汗、养分、冲击(让中华文化知道长进),又有多少呢?<br />
<br />
虽然亨廷顿教授的文明冲突论有人觉得太过火,但历史上文明的产生,又的确是在不断冲撞、排斥、过滤、眉目传情、回心转意、吸收、糅合,各种过程汇集而成。汉族吸收外来文化如此:即使被认为宽容开放的唐朝,也曾经大力抗拒佛教的入传——唐三臧是偷渡出关取经的,皇帝并不批准。<br />
<br />
少数民族的汉化,尽管对他们来说是利多弊少,却也同样是个极度无奈的过程。少数民族执掌政权的时候,如元朝、清朝,虽然都得采用汉语和汉式章典制度,但也同时提出了不少与“汉化”反其道而行的政策,实行起来亦非常惨烈。<br />
<br />
近年由于思考上述问题,对一个历史人物——北魏孝文帝,特别感到兴趣。上网查阅,发觉中国国内知识界对此人的评价也莫衷一是,发出“盖世英雄还是千古罪人”一问,数年前便已辩到天翻地覆。<br />
<br />
限于篇幅,有机会才与大家畅谈北魏孝文帝。不过,上述这些近期辩论却已告诉我们,中华文化并不是铁板一块,只要我们能冷静旁观,文化中的各种“色彩”就会缤纷呈现,罗列眼前。<br />

<span style="color: black;"><b>三所大学领导人同意 加强合作弃恶性竞争</b></span><br />
<br />
我国大学教育的未来发展需要大幅度改变,除了培养全方位学生之外,大学在提升我国经济竞争力方面,也应扮演举足轻重的角色。<br />
<br />
南洋理工大学校长徐冠林教授、新加坡国立大学教务长兼副校长庄志达教授和新加坡管理大学教务长陈振忠教授,昨天下午在一场由公教中学校友会和联合早报所举办的华语座谈会上,共商本地大学教育的前景。座谈会的讲题是《新加坡大学教育的趋势与挑战》,主席是联合早报总编辑林任君。<br />

本地三所大学领导人同台的情景颇具历史性。除了对大学教育课题相互交换精辟见解,三校也同意要摒弃恶性竞争,加强学府之间的合作与交流关系。<br />
<div style="border: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border: medium none;">新加坡需要新模式的大学教育,变革必须大幅度,这是三名主讲者一致同意的。在席上首先发言的陈振忠教授指出,学生们为求职而读书,这一直是本地大学教育的局限。</div><br />
他认为,目前的大学教育仍然过于注重专门学科,课程设计缺乏灵活性。“我们必须摒弃旧式的英国式教育,慢慢走向更多元的美式教育。可是,这个改变将是漫长和痛苦的。”<br />
<br />
陈振忠说,新加坡管理大学还“年轻”,要建立新式的大学制度,不比两所资深大学所面临的挑战大。而且,教育制度的变革也必须从中小学做起,一路贯通。<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">庄志达</td></tr>
</tbody></table>另外,本地大学的办学资金多达80%来自政府,他认为本地大学如果要提升水准,必须想办法寻找私人企业界的资助以发展更多教育项目。 <br />
<div style="border: medium none;"><br />
</div>庄志达教授同意,新加坡大学教育必须走向广泛式的,而且本地大学近年来也兴起了不少跨学科课程,例如生物工程和生化资讯。现在的学生必须对人文和科学都有基本的掌握,知识层面不会太狭隘,也不至于学无专长。<br />
<br />
他相信,未来大学教育的挑战是要培养一批热爱终身学习、具创业精神,以及心系祖国的青年。“当国家面临困难时,有多少新加坡年轻人会想要移民?如果我们无法在小学、中学,甚至是大学教育里引进这种‘心系祖国’的思维,那我们的教育就有点失败。”<br />
<br />
庄志达认为,本地大学也必须想办法吸引优秀的学生留在新加坡考取大学教育。“因为在新加坡的每一代领导人当中,我们需要一些接受新加坡教育、了解民情和掌握我国社会脉搏的人才。” <br />
除了必须负起社会责任,在大众教育和精英教育之间取得平衡,新加坡大学也必须放眼世界,帮助提高新加坡在全球的竞争力,在我国的经济发展里扮演举足轻重的角色。<br />
<br />
<div style="border: medium none;">现在的经济发展越来越变幻莫测,徐冠林教授说,一些大学生可能在求学时选读了一些热门科目,可是在毕业后,这些原本热门的职位空缺却已经流失海外了,例如本地有不少电脑程序编写的工作,现在已经流失到印度和中国。</div><br />
“因此,我们的大学需要做脱胎换骨的改变,才能适应新时代的需求。我们要培养的学生是全方位的人才,无论什么时候都能走出自己的路。”<br />
<br />
<div style="border: medium none;">三校领导人也同意,在培养全方位学生时,提供人文教育是重要的一环。</div><br />
三名主讲者同是公教中学毕业生,在昨天的历史性聚会上,座谈会主席林任君便表示,希望借这次千载难逢的讲座,三人的友谊也能促进三大学府的合作关系。<br />
<br />
对此,徐冠林语重心长说道,国家目前面对如此严峻的挑战,三所大学有必要更紧密地合作。他说:“三所大学各自与外国大学有很多合作,可是三校之间却很少合作与交流,甚至有点猜忌的现象。我觉得这很可惜,因为只有本土大学最了解资金国家的需求。三校应该集中资源、取长补短,为新加坡争取一个更美好的明天。”<br />

“未来是无法预测的。政府也没有全部的资料,或是一个水晶球,能预知未来的世界经济发展是怎么样。重要的是,年轻人要学会靠自己。硅谷一名企业家曾经告诉我,创业时一定要选择自己喜欢做的事,因为最后即使创业失败了,你还是有所收获。” ——徐冠林<br />

But he does not take his status lightly. <br />
<br />
The retired technical supervisor suffered a heart attack at the age of 70. Two years later, he ran his first 42km race. His brush with death was a shock for the man who had never thought much about exercise before. “When I was young, I would run only when I was free,” he said in Mandarin.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">The attack prompted him to re-evaluate his health. “I wanted to take care of myself to prevent a second heart attack. I have to take care of my wife,” he said. His wife, Madam Wang Siew Eng, who is also 78, suffered a stroke on the right side of her body 16 years ago and needs help in daily activities like bathing. The couple have two adult sons.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">He took 18 months to train for his first marathon and did this without telling his doctor. “My family was also against it but I told them that I would be careful and stop if I felt uncomfortable,” he said.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">He used a heart rate monitor to make sure he stayed within 50 to 85 per cent of his maximum heart rate (MHR) and took breaks when he felt any chest discomfort. He attended running forums and read many books about running to learn how best to pace himself as he trained. The MHR is the greatest number of beats per minute that is safe for the heart. A commonly used MHR formula is 220 - (your age). One should not exceed 85 per cent of the MHR when exercising.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">He paced his training regimen well, starting with slow walks on the treadmill, then progressed to brisk walks, slow jogs and finally, a full marathon.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">Kor Hong Fatt has run in 11 marathons and will be taking part in the upcoming Standard Chartered Marathon on 5 Dec 2010.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">But if his heart is up to it, his knees tell a different story. Four years ago, he experienced excrutiating pain in both knees while running. He had run in four marathons that year. A sports physician advised him to run less and go for physiotherapy. As a result, he cut his participation to just one marathon a year.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Every four months, he has a follow-up consultation with doctors at a polyclinic because of his previous heart attack.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Many runners dream of making a 'pilgrimage' to Boston to run the world's oldest marathon - if they can meet the tough qualification time. Boston Marathon is one of the toughest marathons in the world, its is a hilly terrain to run in, with the notorious 'Heartbreak' Hill being one of them.<br />

</tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mama has always been part of our lives. Papa was busy with political work, so she did most of the bringing up of the children - me, Ling and Yang. She nurtured us, taught us, disciplined us, took care of us, and fussed over us. She would be home for lunch every day when we came home from school, spending some time with us before going back to work in the afternoon.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Loving but strict, she enforced clear rules, encouraged us to do well, and took pride in our successes. She kept the first school prize that I ever won, for doing well in kindergarten - a pencil sharpener in the shape of tiny trophy, which is still today, in the display cabinet at home.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not surprisingly, Mama did not shower us with expensive toys, and rather disapproved when the grandparents sometimes did. But she would visit the textile shops that used to be in High Street, and bring us home the long cardboard rolls- the tubes, which were at the centre of the rolls of fabric, and had been discarded after all the fabric had been sold. They cost nothing, but they were great fun used as telescopes, for sword fights, and endless children's games. When I had my own children, my wife and I did the same.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We would visit our maternal grandparents at Pasir Panjang regularly. Their house was on the seafront, and at high tide the water would come right in to the seawall. We would swim in the sea, and Mama would sit on the steps watching over us. Once when I had almost learnt to swim but not quite, I got into difficulty- fooling around with a pair of goggles and a snorkel, and nearly drowned. Mama had to plunge in fully dressed to rescue me. She was not amused. Today, it's dry land.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">When the boys went away to university, she fussed over us at long distance. She was a skilful knitter, and knitted us sweaters to stay warm, one after another. I still have one of them, a favourite rust-coloured one, patched many times at the elbows but still warm. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">When Hsien Yang and I got married, she embraced her daughters-in-law as her own children. When grandchildren arrived, she helped to look after them, especially my two elder children - Xiuqi and Yipeng - after their mother Ming Yang died. She and the Popo supervised the maids, took the very little ones for walks every evening, and more than made up for what I could not do as a single father.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The years passed. Even in old age, Mama kept a motherly eye on her children. She would follow my public appearances on TV and in the press, and comment on my dress or demeanour or makeup, by the make-up artiste. After one particularly long evening function which both my parents and I attended, she reproached me and she said: "You were bored stiff, and looked it". When I fell ill with lymphoma, she worried about my children again, and also about me, fretting over whether I was eating enough nutritious food like bird's nest to stay strong and fight the cancer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">On Sundays the family would gather for lunch at Oxley Road. For a time it was with all the grandchildren, who would make a fine hullabaloo. But as the kids grew up and went off to national service, or went away to study, often it would be back to just Papa, Mama and the three children and our wives, plus Shaowu, the youngest grandchild.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">One Sunday in May two years ago, we had the usual family lunch. I had spent the morning on a constituency visit to Tampines, and told her they were debating whether to allow bicycles on pedestrian footpaths. She reminded me that when I was in Cambridge and was mostly a pedestrian, I had written home to complain about the bicycles being a menace, because they crept up quietly on one from behind, giving no warning except for sinister whirring noises. I had completely forgotten, but she was right. She said: "The older I get, the longer ago the things I remember". But she tracked current events too, and knew what the hot topics of the day were. I think the hot topic at that time was serving beer at coffee shops.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The next day I was in my office when my security officer told me that Mama had fallen down at home, and Wei Ling was rushing her to NNI. She had had her second stroke. The last two and a half years have been difficult on her and on the family. Now she is at peace.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">Over these last few days, I and my family have been deeply touched by the outpouring of condolences and fond recollections from people of all walks of life.We've stood receiving the visitors, reminiscing, shaking hands, delighting in seeing each other again or honoured that so many have come. She touched the lives of all those who met her, and many more who knew of her only through television images, media reports, or perhaps just by word of mouth. They sensed what a special person she was, and how much she had quietly contributed to Singa¬pore.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">Thousands turned up at Sri Temasek to pay their respects. Some bowed or stood in silent prayer, while others crossed themselves or did a namaste. Still others fingered rosaries, and at least one lady spun a little prayer wheel. Many were visibly moved. Mama's children and our spouses stood beside her to acknowledge and thank them all, just as Mama had stood beside us so many times before.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">All of our lives, Mama has been there for us. We have rejoiced together, grieved together, and shared many milestones and critical moments together. Now we will all have to learn to live without her. But she lives on in her children and grandchildren, in our cherished memories of her, and in the persons she has nurtured us into.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div>Catholic High, Singaporehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16151073163381260526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238104727401864053.post-82162161995406212002010-11-01T09:47:00.004+08:002010-11-10T21:40:45.642+08:00徐冠林 Su Guaning<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2011年6月第二个任期满后,徐冠林将卸下校长职务。他日前接受《联合早报》访问时,畅谈他担任南洋理工大学的感想。以下是11月1日《联合早报》所刊登的访谈中的一些话题。</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>没有考虑换地办校</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">新加坡国立大学上一任校长施春风教授卸任后到沙特阿拉伯阿卜杜拉国王科技大学当创校校长,徐冠林校长卸任后会不会考虑换给地方办校?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">他微笑但是很坚定地说:“没有这个想法,虽然有人找我。”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">他说,他下来希望能花点时间探讨自己的兴趣,比如寻找一些中国方面的机缘,以及一些个人感兴趣的研究项目。另外,徐校长的小女儿明年上小学六年级,他希望能有多点时间陪家人。</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“过去八年非常忙碌,我觉得亏欠了家人,所以下来是时候‘还一点债’。”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>三个机缘下建立南大名声</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">回首云南园八年,徐校长很感谢时代给他的三个机缘,让他能在国际学术界把南大的名声建立起来。</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">第一个机缘是在他上任那一年,当时的人力部代部长兼教育部政务部长领导的跨部门大学素质委员会提出《大学结构及大学生人力分配检讨报告书》建议,把我国大学生的比率从20%增加到25%,增加的学额主要在南洋理工大学,每年收生从4400名增加到6000名。</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">于是南大在2004年设立文学院,2005年设立数理科学院和艺术、设计与媒体学院。从此,南大学生有比较全面的学科选择。</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">第二个机缘是大学自主,让我国大学更重视学术人员办校。徐校长在那个机缘下大刀阔斧地对教职员的体制进行改革,把门槛提高,除邀请国际知名教授前来教学,也利用增加三所新学院而来的空缺,聘请许多年轻的杰出教授。过去三年,南大总共邀请了300位国际上杰出的研究人员。</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">第三个机缘是政府在2006年后拨出巨额支持科研工作。从2006年到2010年,政府五年里拨出的研究基金达135亿元,使得大学有更多机会争取研究基金进行各领域的研究。</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">南大原本不是研究密集型大学,为吸引高端研究人员,徐冠林校长在2007年邀请安博迪教授出任常务副校长。安博迪教授曾担任诺贝尔化学奖评选委员会主席,国际学术界的联络网很强。徐校长说,这几年南大在研究基金的争取方面和国大几乎大成平手,如果不是安博迪教授,南大不可能办到。(安博迪教授(Bertil Andersson)是瑞典籍的国际知名生物化学家,2007年加入南大。他在国际学术界声名显赫,曾担任诺贝尔化学奖遴选委员会主席。)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“在我就任第一年,我们争取到的研究资金是3000万元左右,2009年是3亿元,增加了10倍。”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">虽然南大还是以理工科为主,但由于这些机缘,徐冠林校长在任内能把南大发展成一所学科广泛的综合大学,现在还筹办医学院,这是他这八年来感觉最满意的成绩。</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>希望南大复名 引起轩然大波</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">徐冠林校长出掌南洋理工大学初期,认真地阅读了南大迂回的历史,他曾希望把南洋大学、南洋理工学院到南洋理工大学50年的历史整理好,把模糊的桥梁搭建起来。</div><div style="text-align: justify;">翻阅当时的许多关于他的专访和报道,看到是一个理想主义者的热情,他希望当南大变成综合大学后,还原“南洋大学”校名。 </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“那是2005年确定的一个新想法。我在2003年上任时和南大校友有很多交流,他们都希望恢复南洋大学的名字。”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">那时候,南洋理工大学一些学生也认为“理工”两个字并不适宜。另外,徐校长参考一些历史资料包括《李光耀回忆录》后也认为,只要南大成为一所综合大学,去掉“理工”两个字不是大问题,复名是迟早的事。</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">徐校长这一想法引起轩然大波。他说:“对于复名,基本上南洋大学的校友分成两派,新加坡这边比较正面,就算正面,也希望恢复以母语教学的比重。海外更复杂,海外南大校友对新加坡现在的发展不是很了解,他们的理解还停留在殖民地或者是建国初期。他们多数觉得,南洋大学的实体已经不在了,再恢复叫南洋大学,是‘冒名’,不是‘复名’。”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">回想当年,徐冠林校长语气中带有感慨地说:“既然有那么多问题,我觉得把精神放在那里会影响办学,于是把这个问题搁置。”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">放下这个问题后,他的思路更清楚,他认为要把南大办好,需要发挥自己的优势和特色,而南大应该维持重视理工的优势,加强科技方面的突破。如今,南洋理工大学的工科和理科占了70%,以这样的组合成分来说,“理工”两个字确确实实是南大的特色。</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">徐冠林校长很理性地给南大复名的事件做一个总结说:“南洋大学给我们留下的最重要遗产,一个是校园,一个是精神。我刚来的时候,南大精神没有真正传承过来,现在我认为要让南洋大学校友感到欣慰的是,我们把南洋大学‘自强不息,力争上游’的精神传递了下来。”<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">10月13日,我受邀参加公教中学建校75周年及校友会成立41周年双庆会,于香格里拉大酒店宴开百席,师友千余人同庆,气氛热闹和融。最引人瞩目的除了前老校长张世典修士外,便是退休老师也是座上嘉宾。</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">庆典的盛况暂且不提,公教中学校友会的活动是最有意义与令人深思的。这些年来,校友会总在中秋节前,派校友亲往退休老师家中,送上月饼与柚子,并呈上一张请柬,邀老师们参加宴会,几十年来都是如此。我是公教中学的老师,退休整十多年了,年年都收到这份礼物,心里总觉得暖暖的,深感校友们都没有把老师忘记,这种饮水思源、尊老敬贤的精神完全表现出来,这也是华文源流学校特有的优良传统。</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">我执教鞭30余年,辗转在5所中学执教,其中华文源流的学校如圣公会中学与公教中学令我最难忘怀,至今,犹有30年前的学生前来拜访我,有者在学业上青出于蓝;有者在事业上攀上高峰,都尚能对我敬爱有加,其他英文源流的学生,从未听过组办宴会团契,也鲜有学生登门造访。</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">究其原因,华文源流的学生都浸濡在儒家或中华传统的思想中,潜移默化,当然把这些优良传统铭记心中,英文源流的学校重的是学业成绩,在塑造传统精神上可能较忽略了。</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">现在,学校是统一的,无所谓华文底或英文底。大多学校多注重学业成绩或学校排名,学生也为了考好成绩而努力,补习再补习,这种情况,哪还顾及儒家思想或优良传统的传扬呢?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
