以下问题,我不止一次回答朋友,朋友中有大陆人也有本地人。当他们听说我曾在1990年代派驻北京五年,千禧年的首个十年,也在上海生活将近十年,就很惯性地问我:你比较喜欢北京还是上海?说句实话,这还真是不好回答。

首先,把两个性格迥然不同的城市做对比,本身就欠缺“可比性”,就像苹果和柑橘,纯属个人口味。其次,首都北京历史悠久,文化底蕴深厚,上海十里洋场引领流行文化,两个城市各自精彩,实在很难比高下。

所以,我的答案乍听之下,确实带点“油条味”,但那是心里话,我是这样说的:当我住在北京时,我就尽量发掘北京的好,寻找各种让我喜欢北京的理由,反之来到上海,我的心态也是如此。我在这两座城市,确实收获美好的记忆。除了京沪对比,我还用上述思维模式,丰富我在派驻期间,每个“当下”的心理感觉,数十年来搬过好几次家,我同样在“转念”中,采集每个居住地的好感。

坦白说,不管住在哪个地方,总会遇到这个那个不顺心,不顺眼的事物,以上是我调适心境的方法,我始终相信,当你戴上墨镜看世界,即便阳光普照,眼前也是一片黑。对人对事也一样,每个人穷其一生,接触家人、同事、同学,还有社交朋友。其中的家人包括夫妻、父母、兄弟姐妹和子女等。

人际关系的场域中,职场和社会皆非单纯之地,当中职场关乎收入和升迁,社会则是个名利场,这两处无可避免成为竞技擂台,为求出人头地,明争暗斗、拉帮结派的例子层出不穷,正因如此,许多人在离职、退休之后,仍对当年的某人某事耿耿于怀,心上始终缠绕着这个死结,挥之不去,老同事偶有安排叙旧,也得先打听哪些人会来,就是不想看到某一张脸孔。

饮食男女非圣人,没能修到“以德报怨”的高超境界,那么就从“不要惩罚自己”的角度出发,尽量记住老同事的好,至少善待自个儿的情绪,再说,纵然是你不喜欢的人,他也不至于是个十恶不赦之徒吧!

夫妻关系也是如此,“只记他(她)的好”,一起生活数十年,哪有不磕磕碰碰的道理,都老夫老妻了,彼此就别想改变对方,与其吵吵闹闹,不如尝试适应,各留一个舒适的“任性”空间。人生短暂,青山依旧在,是非成败转头空,还是学学惯看秋月春风的白发渔樵,一壶浊酒,古今多少事,都付笑谈中吧。

算了,不看了,我已经活够了 (2024-01-29)

“算了,不看了,我已经活够了”。这个是今天门诊的一位70岁的老人家说的话,他腿脚不方便,是被女儿用轮椅推进来的,一进门我就发现老人脖子上有个巨大的包块,这个时候老人就对孩子说,我口渴了,你去给我买瓶水吧,就这样把女儿给支走了。

孩子走了以后,这个老人家就跟我说,哎呀,张大夫呀,你就随便给我看一下吧,反正我的身体就这样了,老毛病一堆,没几年活头了,我都不想来的,可我女儿非要带我过来,哎呀,我这辈子净给孩子增加负担,她生活也很苦,一会儿她回来了,你就说没啥事儿,回去休息休息就行了,我可不能再拖累他了。

听到这,我心里还是很触动的。不一会,他女儿也回来了,仔细看了所有的检查化验结果,他们带来的报告都很全,不需要花钱再做什么检查了,没什么必要。

经过最后耐心的劝说,老人改变了想法,在他们走的时候,我也给他们留下了联系方式,让他们以后有什么问题,都可以随时找到我。我叫张立阳,就职于北京公立三甲医院的一名甲状腺外科医生,希望我能帮助更多的人,也希望大家拥有健康的身体,同时我希望能用我的耐心来换你们的安心。#我来科普##关注甲状腺结节##健康明星计划##医者仁心##甲状腺##我的门诊故事#

这是一个我弃人取的时代,近世代以来,可能受武打片影响,洋人对神秘的东方武术充满了好奇与兴趣。新加坡是东西方文化的交汇点,许多洋人到这儿工作,就接触到南拳北腿内家拳荟萃的传统武术,加上国人讲英语,又没有拳不外传的思想,于是这儿成了洋武痴取经的地方。

话说在2019年,有个来自德国里萨市(Liesa)名叫汤姆士(Thomas Enskat)的发烧友,就经引荐喜欢上多样并段位化的海南拳,拟把它带到德国。后因疫情阻隔了好些年。2022年航空开放,本地海南拳馆——光武国术团教练符福文师傅就受邀到里萨市的Wushu Riesa e.V拳馆教拳。

汤姆士学的是七星螳螂拳,本身就是个好手,慧眼识海南拳。符师傅说,那是个非营利拳馆,本着传扬海南拳的精神,他也义务相授。其间也借助资信科技视频授艺。德方一些同门也预订今年(2024年)到来观摩学习。

海南拳在新加坡的发展

海南拳的沿革得从上世纪30年代中的一场新中友谊赛说起,它促成了海南拳在新加坡的萌芽。那时正值九一八事变之后,国民党西北军军长张之江将军以南京中央国术馆创办人兼馆长的身份,带了一支篮球队和一些武术家,以新加坡为据点,向南洋推广体育及国术运动。

他们就在当年的大世界体育场举行了一场盛大的中新篮球比赛和武术观摩会。本地琼派武术名宿魏大乾、林树锦、林鸿仪分别表演了祖传的海南拳、长柳棍和四门拳。张将军也露了一手新太极拳。

随团前来的南京馆高手干德源、魏元峰、沈扬德后来也曾在新加坡精武体育会任教。张将军在称许之余,倡议成立海南拳术馆,一呼百应,光武国术团(Kwang Boo Kok Suat Thuan,后易名Guang Wu Club)于1936年,在启信街(Cashin Street)双桂斋开馆,供奉华光大帝为师祖。林树锦、魏大乾、符福盛出任教练。这些年,冯安邦任教最久,他不仅精通琼派拳术兵器,还通海南狮艺和跌打,是个全面的名师。

在上世纪30年代的时代背景下,“光武”二字象征“光复失地,我武威扬;光武中兴,复兴汉室。”开馆隔年更北上马来亚,向宗亲交流推广本族拳术。

海南拳基本上是南派武术,由移民带入海南岛,它几乎荟萃了广东福建的岭南武术。四门拳就是云南少数民族自成一派的武术,或许是黎族所传。

海南岛四面环海,人民务农捕鱼为生,防御海盗成了生活常态,人人习武以求保家卫土。锄头矮凳叉扒都可以成为武器,另有一种套在双肘上,可攻可守的奇门兵器——鱼牌挡、梭子挡、燕子挡。一字拳、掌拳以及调息散功的五形桩亦是独特拳种。

海南拳沉稳刚猛,魏大乾战前于泰国的擂台上,面对泰拳手夺命攻势,一个错手将其击毙,并获甲必丹(地方华社领袖)颁发奖金。

符福文师傅少儿时候就浸淫在海南拳中,近年更致力优化海南拳术,曾多次亲自到海南岛及区域国家考证切磋,并计划与同门成立国际琼派功夫联盟会以一统琼拳。

狮城海南拳得一群忠心宗族协助,海南国术馆几经搬迁扩充,终在芽笼设置会所。时过境迁,“光芒射万丈,武艺传千秋”成了光武的新使命。

New partnerships office launched to broaden and deepen Government-citizen partnership

SINGAPORE – A new office was launched on Jan 19 for those who have ideas and want to work together with the Government, amid a push to broaden and deepen partnerships between the Government and the people.

The Singapore Government Partnerships Office (SGPO), which will serve as a first stop for such partnerships, will help connect people and groups, direct them to funding sources, and work with government agencies to identify more opportunities for collaboration.

The aim of the office is to make partnering the Government more seamless and accessible, as Singapore confronts the new reality of a more troubled world and girds itself against the impact of this on social cohesion and solidarity.

In the next bound of nation building, the Government and people working more closely together will help Singapore achieve more, said Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong.

Broadening and deepening such partnerships is a key plank of the social compact set out in Forward Singapore, he noted, referring to the exercise helmed by him and his fourth-generation leadership team. He said the Government was “putting partnerships first on its agenda”. 

“I believe we can do more to harness the expertise, the experience, the passions of Singaporeans, towards our shared goals and towards the Singapore that we all want for the future,” he said on Jan 19 at a ceremony held at Tang Plaza to launch the office.

“The bottom line is that we can achieve much more when we work together as partners.”

While there are already various platforms for government agencies to partner with community groups, it can be difficult for people to figure out which agency to approach, said DPM Wong.

The SGPO will formalise the structure for people to collaborate with the Government and is meant to strengthen such partnerships and engagements, said Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong during a panel session at the launch.

An example of past partnerships is the Housing Board working with residents to design and build playgrounds in housing estates.

Now, the new office will curate key government resources for partnership, funding and volunteering opportunities.

People can submit their ideas through the SGPO website’s Partners Portal, and these submissions will be channelled to relevant agencies. Support will also be provided to help people take things forward. The new office will also help catalyse partnerships by connecting like-minded people and organisations and directing them to resources.

In addition, it will advocate deeper citizen-government collaboration, working closely with agencies to identify more areas where citizens can play a meaningful role, and publicising these opportunities.

Ms Dawn Yip, coordinating director of SGPO, who has been involved in various public engagement efforts over the years, including the Singapore 21 exercise in 1999, said Singaporeans “always show up no matter what the issue is”, with many willing to give their time and resources to achieve something bigger than themselves.

She added that she hoped the office will provide more opportunities and means for people to show up and take action.

Such partnerships are one of the key ingredients behind Singapore’s success, said DPM Wong.

From the beginning, the Government has been deliberate about bringing diverse stakeholders together to work towards a common purpose, he added.

For instance, tripartism was promoted as a way for unions, businesses, workers and the Government to work together to spur economic growth. The grassroots movement, through the People’s Association, was also set in motion to galvanise the community to build the nation together.

Since then, the Government has set up more consultation mechanisms such as the Reach feedback unit, supported more ground-up initiatives, and opened up space for Singaporeans to contribute, said DPM Wong.

Many government ministries now have public, private and people, or 3P, divisions, to help drive their engagement efforts, he cited.

Noting how far Singapore has come in this journey, he said it is this spirit of collaboration that has seen the nation through many challenges, such as the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the 9/11-fuelled terror threats in 2001, the Sars outbreak in the early 2000s, and most recently, the Covid-19 crisis.

DPM Wong, who co-chaired the multi-ministry task force set up to fight Covid-19, said the Government, unions, businesses, people and groups coming together was what helped Singapore mount an effective response during the pandemic.

“Because of our combined efforts, we have today in Singapore a stronger sense of cohesion and solidarity, a higher level of trust, where everyone actively supports one another so that we can progress together as one united people,” he added.

But he said Singapore cannot afford to be complacent, especially as the world shifts away from the peace and globalisation of the past 30 years.

With traditional methods of cooperation breaking down, wars have erupted in Europe and the Middle East, with violence and conflict threatening to spread in other parts of the world, he added.

Such external stress, together with economic and social strain, has already taxed countries around the world, eroding trust and entrenching differences, he noted.

“We are not immune to the same powerful forces that can potentially divide us. There’s no reason why Singapore is immune to this. It’s not as though we’ve got a special vaccine,” he said.

“In fact, as a diverse multiracial, multi-religious society, we are all the more susceptible to such divisive forces in the world.”

Encouraging Singaporeans to come forward, DPM Wong said the Government will continue to study more ways to facilitate such partnerships.

“We want to create more opportunities big and small for everyone, every citizen to contribute meaningfully to our shared future,” he said, singling out the young for their enthusiasm to participate.

“I am confident that if we can encourage more people to join us in this partnership journey, we can foster a stronger sense of kinship and trust, and we can build a better and more united Singapore.”

He added that there were many more things the Government hoped to achieve under Forward Singapore and that the first tranche of major updates would be unveiled during his Budget speech, slated for Feb 16.

“Please stay tuned for the Budget. It’s coming soon,” he said.

交流站:申请与执行持久授权书应简化

交流站:申请与执行持久授权书应简化
https://www.zaobao.com.sg/forum/talk/story20240116-1462258

2024-01-16

为了鼓励国人在心智健全时申请持久授权书(Lasting Power of Attorney,简称LPA),社会及家庭发展部兼卫生部第二部长马善高去年3月29日宣布,持久授权书表格一的豁免收费的期限延长至2026年3月31日。此外,政府也于同年的11月启用公共监护人办公室线上服务平台,方便新加坡人办理持久授权书。

办理了持久授权书是不是真的就可省却家人的麻烦?有些不确定的因素使我对办理持久授权书裹足不前。除了LPA的社区路演没有来到老人居多的大巴窑的原因之外,还有就是持久授权书也属法律文件,而且涉及处理授权人的福利、产业与财务事宜,犹如活着时的遗嘱,在授权人还活着但失去心智时执行。我之所以犹豫不决,是因为担心被授权人在执行持久授权书之前,也像执行遗嘱那样,还要另外支付比办理费更高的律师费,由律师向法院申请认证书。

我较早前曾通过《联合早报·交流站》提出询问,由律师签发的遗嘱为何在执行前还须再请律师向法庭申请认证书?后来高庭职员联络我,只给了我申请认证及一些律师事务所名单的链接,但无法提供法律咨询。而我从这些链接中,也始终没有找到答案。

根据家事法庭的链接内容,除非遗嘱只有一个执行人,可无须通过律师也能上网申请认证书,不过所有的文件都必须亲自交到指定的地点审查,申请表格若填写不妥将被退回。过后仍不清楚如何更正,执行人可花钱向律师事务所寻求法律咨询。只有注册的律师事务所办理才能获准在网上完成所有的程序。现在的律师帮人填份表格也要价好几千元。

如果持久授权书在执行时,也如遗嘱那样繁琐,还要另外花一笔律师费向法院申请认证书,我可能就考虑只做预先护理计划(ACP),其他的财务就与信得过的亲人联名。ACP的决策代言人帮当事人做医疗决定,治疗费是由当事人支付的,省时省力,还可省下不必要的律师费。

话说回来,我觉得立遗嘱或持久授权书也未必人人都需要,除非是家财万贯或家庭成员关系恶劣且复杂。先父生前什么都没立,银行户头和房子都与妻儿联名,只要受益人没有异议,就省却了不必要的麻烦及费用。先母则在父亲离世后立了遗嘱,反而给执行人增添了额外的麻烦。
