星期二特写《不平凡的人》之瞎眼婆婆的故事

那天，我和义工小叶去探访80岁的瞎眼婆婆，她独自一人照顾84岁的痴呆症丈夫。

此刻，想下笔写这个瞎眼婆婆的故事，竟然不知该从何下笔？内心里，实在是太钦佩她了。

她，用坚强的意志力，在黑暗的世界里，制作手工艺品并打点自己和丈夫的生后琐事，她，用积极的态度面对人生，她，用欢愉的笑声和开朗的话语，激励着和她接触过的每一个人。

我问婆婆：“目前你最想得到什么东西？还有什么事情很想做而还没有完成的吗？”

她说：“没有了，你们不要花钱买东西给我，触爱机构有派学生来帮忙我抹地，给我送饭。我希望身体健康，让天父把我接去天家。”

这时候，在她一旁的邻居陈婆婆，一听到瞎眼婆婆说要回去天家，马上回应说“还是让我先回去天家好，我一定要比你先走才好。”

我说：“哎哟！你们一个两个争着要回天家啊！这谁先走的事很难说，也许我比你们先走呢？呵呵！”

瞎眼婆婆又说：“我这个邻居很好，会带我上巴杀。 她的一些事情，我也会给她出主意。上次她的老公跌倒在家里，她都不懂该怎么办？我建议让他去看医生，后来医生让他住进了老人院。”

陈婆婆说：“是啊！我老公那么胖，跌倒了很多次，又有病，我都没有办法照顾他，还好有老人院肯收留他。”

这两位住在毗邻的老人家相互照应，互相排遣寂寞，他们的笑声在这小小的屋子里回荡着。

瞎眼婆婆接着又笑呵呵地说：“我8岁就在加东海捞沙建屋子，那时候第一次赚钱好开心。”

我说：“婆婆好厉害，8岁就会赚钱了，也参与了国家的屋子建设，也许我现在住的屋子，婆婆也有份建筑的哦！所以，您劳动过了，辛苦过了，现在如果有好心人要来照顾你，你就让他们照顾，让他们爱你吧！不要客气哦！尤其是有学生要来帮你做家务，你可要让他们有机会学习，将来他们才懂得如何照顾自己的家啊！”

婆婆说：“有！我还常常告诉那些学生们要好好读书，不要太年轻就谈恋爱，读不好书，浪费父母的钱，等将来长大了，做工了才来谈恋爱。。。。。你知道吗？有些人来看了我之后，还带了孩子一起来，大家都对我很好。”

我提高嗓子，大声赞扬婆婆：“婆婆好厉害哦！好像是老师一样，帮忙教导学生，婆婆可要继续当老师哦！”

“哎哟！我哪有资格当老师啊？哈哈哈哈！！！！”

我和小叶在婆婆的欢笑声中告别了她。

祝福您！一个知足而又豁达的瞎眼婆婆。

Dear MOE,

我看了23-3-09新明日报的报道:就算小贩们通过议员陈情, 还是不能网开一面。
我想，也许此刻我写这封信来为这些小贩求情也是多余的。但是，我还是坚持写了，因为，这事关乎到这些老人家的生计问题，我希望，贵局在处理这件时时，可以更加包容和具备伸缩性，更加人性化一些。

国家环境局今日召开记者会, 解释事情的始末.
发言人说, 其实这10名小贩, 从一开始就不能在乌节路营业, 他们自称巳在该处五六年, 就等于五六年来一直是违例经营……… 环境局重申, 就算小贩们通过议员陈情, 还是不能网开一面. 这是因为衔头小贩的人数太多, 会导玫以下情况恶化:
1. 食物和环境卫生问题
2. 衔头的拥挤和阻塞.
3. 在乌节路租店面的冰淇淋商店生意受影响, 因为他们的租金比每年120元的执照费来得高許多。
===========================================

每每看到这些关于老人生计的问题，看到他们在制度条例下的无助和无奈，我的内心是一阵刺痛。现看到贵局重申，就算小贩们通过议员陈情, 还是不能网开一面。

在此呼吁环境局要网开一面, 修改条例让这些老人家继续在乌节路自食其力，也为创建一个温馨的社会尽力。因为，关爱老人，善待老人，体恤老人，就是一个国家体现人文关怀的至高表现。

Thanks and Regards

Translated by daughter（16yrs old) of  小六:

Whenever I see issues pertaining to the elderly citizens having problems trying to make a living with their own efforts, my heart pricks with the knowledge of their helplessness and frustration under those rules and regulations. Now that NEA has made a stand, that even though if those hawkers were to appeal to their MPs, there cannot be any exception made.

I do know that perhaps my appeal will be redundant. Nevertheless, I have to persist in appealing as this concerns the livelihood of the elderly citizens. I hope that NEA will exercise some degree of accommodation and flexibility in handling such matter, dealing with them with more humanity.

I hereby appeal to NEA to make an exception in this matter to allow the elderly citizens to make their own living in Orchard Road. A country would achieve its highest sense of social graciousness and responsibility when it can show care and concern towards their elderly citizens, treating them with kindness and compassionate understanding.

Thanks and Regards

红山可怜母子 （27/1/09 新明日报）

一家六口团圆饭
一菜一汤不到10元

李先生（41岁）于28-12-08猝死梦中。

李太太（38岁）带着5名1-12岁的孩子，家中没有过年的气氛。她受新明日报的好心读者帮忙后，家境已改善，她感谢《新明》读者帮忙。

李太太做纽扣为生，月入五百养六口。已经申请了社理会的福利金资助，还在等待申请结果，但她基本上已经衣食无忧。

Poor family from Bukit Merah

Reunion dinner for a family of six.

One vege dish and one bowl of soup cost not more than $10.

Mr Lee (Age 41) passed away suddenly in his dream on 28.12.08.

Mrs Lee (Age 38) has 5 children age 1 to 12. No festive mood at home. She got helps from some readers of Shin Min Daily, got through the crisis, she appreciates the help from them.

Mrs Lee made buttons for a living, gets a monthly salary of $500 to feed a family of six. She has applied for welfare aids through CDC, is awaiting for their approval, but she can survive the basic needs.
=======================================
今天早上在亨德生区举办乐龄活动，过后分发食物时，有一老人家带了一个小孩来，问我可否多给她一包饭？她要给这个小孩吃。还告诉我说小孩家里还有另外4个兄弟，他们的爸爸死了。。。。。。。。

At Henderson this morning to do some old folks activities, when I distribute the food items, an old lady brought along a child, asked me for an extra packet of rice. She wants to let the child to have it. The old lady told me that the child has 4 brothers at home, their father has passed away.

我把食物袋、饭和几个红包交给这个妇女，请她代为转交给这家人，抄下她们的住址后，附上了我的名片，请她代为转告说改天我上门去拜访她们。

I gave the old lady the food pack, rice and some red packets, asked her to pass them to this family for me. I copied down the address, handed them my name card and passed the message that I will visit them one of these days.

我有剪报的习惯，印象中有在报章上看到这则报导。回家后，我翻查我的简报，果然是她。当时看报，就觉得这家人的确很可怜，很希望能够在我的《快乐天使活动》中见到李太太。

I have the hobby of newspaper cutting. In my mind, I remembered I have come across this piece of news. When I returned home, I flipped through my newspapers cutting, and I confirmed it is she! When I first know about this family, I feel sorry about their plight, and I hope to get to meet Mrs Lee from my

<Happy angel > activity.

今天透过她的邻居而能够将善心人陈小姐和其家族的美意传播给这个有需要的家庭，我内心是无比的高兴。我传简讯给陈小姐，向她禀报。好心的陈小姐，迫不及待 回复：“你快点去拜访她，查看她需要什么？最重要是那个小孩有没有吃足够的奶粉？有没有按时打针？。。。。如果需要，你帮我安排诊疗所给她打针，我转帐进 去医生的户口，如果小孩要玩具或是一些益智游戏也行，让他们玩得聪明点。。。。。。。”

With the help from Mrs Lee’s neighbour, I am able to pass this goodwill gesture of Miss Tan and her family, to Mrs Lee today, I felt very honoured and happy deep inside. I send an SMS to Miss Tan, to report about this. The good Samaritan Miss Tan replied me at once :”Please go pay her a visit quickly, see what she needs? Most importantly, does the child get enough milk powder? Didn’t miss his injection? ….If possible, you help me to arrange a clinic for him to get injection, I will transfer the funds into the doctor’s account. If the children need toys or some ceative games, go ahead to buy them, let them become smarter through games….”

陈小姐，总是急他人所急，苦他人所苦，她总是让我感动，谢谢你，陈小姐和你的家人。

Miss Tan, think of others first whenever whatever. She always touched my heart. Thank you. Miss Tan and also your family.

《原地办活动》的概念要大力推广，方便老人家下楼来参与活动，减少因为孤单而衍发的精神疾病。

因为好心人来分红包，我们发现了这一对需要帮助的母子。他们申请不到政府的援助金，老妈妈说，家里还有一个孩子得了精神病。

Lonely & forgotten, am I still remembered?

How much longer can I work?

dark & narrow corridoor

How is the world outside?

在喜庆的节日里，我们还记得他们吗？他们的呐喊声，我们听到了吗？
