梁振英救了林慧思

學校口頭警告林慧思 容續執教
9月休假 林拒向警道歉


【明報專訊】教師林慧思上月以粗口辱罵警員,其任教的寶血會培靈學校校董會決定向她口頭警告,給予她改過機會,林慧思將在新學年繼續任教,但整個9月份將休假。林慧思表示接受處分,但不會應校方要求向各方道歉,「我唔會道歉,『各方』即係邊方?」教育局呼籲各界讓學校回復平靜及正常運作。

警務督察協會主席曾昭科認為,警方是受害者,林慧思應向警方道歉,「如果佢作為教育界人士或有教育的人士,唔向警方道歉,根本係無歉意,等社會人士去判斷」。香港家長聯會主席李偲嫣認為校方決定倉卒,「唔知個老師係咪洗心革面,唔知佢幾時會再跳掣,幾時再講粗口」。

校方稱嚴重損校譽 給改過機會

培靈學校法團校董會近日兩次開會,討論7月中林慧思在旺角辱罵警員事件,昨午更會見林慧思。寶血會教育事務處主任黃美美向本報稱,校方已就事件給予林慧思口頭警告,林已向學校道歉,承諾不會再犯,校董會基於以上考慮,給她一個機會。

校董會昨發表聲明,表示林老師在公眾場所表達個人意見時夾雜不雅用語及粗俗說話,不符教師專業操守,嚴重損害校譽,校方深感遺憾,期望她為當日言行向有關各方致歉,並認為應該給她改過機會。校方未有指「各方」是否指警方。

林慧思接受網台D100訪問表示﹕「大家要明白校董會有權執行討論結果,可以唔接受(處分)咩?」她透露可留校執教,但哽咽道﹕「我真係會好難過,不過過一段時間會無。」她相信校方的處分是公平的,至於聲明指摘她使用不恰當用語,她說﹕「希望校方講番前因後果。」但她強調不會向青關會或警方道歉,「我唔會道歉,『各方』即係邊方?」她稱校方沒以道歉作為留校條件。她昨晚10時於網上留言﹕「辭職?還是不辭職好呢?」未有披露具體決定及想法。

香港行動反對到校抗議

「香港行動」發起人冼澤正不滿校方沒將林慧思革職,認為其言行不應再當教師。至於有人在網上發起9月2日開學日,到林慧思學校抗議,他不贊成,「我都希望件事告一段落,反對咁樣做,因為會嚇親小朋友,好無謂」。

立法會教育界議員葉建源及教育政策關注社主席張民炳均認為,特首梁振英要求教育局長吳克儉就事件交報告,會為學校帶來壓力,期望學校摒除外在壓力,按專業準則作決定。教聯會副主席王惠成表示,相信校方希望在下月開學前盡快平息事件,故對林慧思小懲大戒,期望她知錯能改向警方道歉。工聯會屬下的教育工作人員總工會認為,林既已道歉,「知錯能改,旁人宜接受或加以勸勉及鼓勵」,若她能向被其辱罵的警員道歉,更為可喜。

教局:尊重學校決定

教育局發言人表示,尊重學校以專業態度處理事件,及持平而情理兼備地作出困難的決定,呼籲各界以學生利益為依歸,讓學校回復平靜及正常運作,免受壓力及騷擾。發言人補充,稍後收到學校的總結報告後,會更新有關事件的事實性資料,再向特首提交報告。

陳雲看了學校及教育局的聲明,可能會在麥當奴擺幾圍慶功,一切功勞都皆因他發起聯署要求白宮幫忙。就由他自稱自讚,自得其樂吧。不過,這種心智,也吸引到追隨的人,我不得不佩服他。因這件事,我有緣看到美國加州州立大學哲學教授王偉雄的評論 ,心悅誠服。佩服的不只是王教授的識見,還有他那種修養,在他那篇評論第一則留言,陳雲的支持者對王教授罵了粗,王教授處之泰然。如果人比人會比死人,那麼就比出一個該死的人了。

我的標題並非開玩笑,讓我講一下原由。林慧思受到的處分屬最輕的級別,已沒有再輕的懲處方法了。在梁振英未發聲之前,我相信培靈學校法團校董會尚未決定怎樣處理林慧思,因為學校當時還沒有發出聲明。最嚴厲的處分當然是不續約,外間對林慧思的支持和批評對學校都造成壓力,對她懲處太輕,對學生、家長及社會都不好交待,對她懲處太重,又會予人欺凌弱小的幫兇的印象。 梁振英不切合身分的發聲引起社會很大的反彈,校方乘機找到這下台階,給予林慧思最輕的處分,做法應該會獲得社會的體諒。倒頭來梁振英枉作小人,成為面目無光的大輸家,正因為他笨拙的發聲扶了林慧思一把。故此,梁振英救了林慧思。

林慧思也做得不漂亮,換了是我,我一定會很瀟灑的道歉。懂得道歉比起口硬優勝得多,措辭大方得體便會獲得市民進一步的支持。怎樣講?明顯不服氣,怎樣也不肯向警察道歉,這個容易辦,就向市民道歉,為自己當日言詞不當致歉,因自己令社會產生不必要衝突和分化感到遺憾,驚動特首在百忙中也對自己關注而致歉,希望他能夠把精力投放在重要決策上,希望市民原諒梁振英,他只是著緊香港的教育才發聲。這樣做也符合校方期望她能向有關各方致歉,給學校一點面子。

林慧思還是不肯道歉,就找陳雲吃麥當奴吧。吃飽了肚就記緊塞點草入腦,才像個滿腦是草的人。警察不要再為她的處分發聲了,否則又變成塞草入腦。除了發聲,也要學下不發聲的好處。

  1. I read your response to my previous comments in 梁振英最笨的發言之二with mixed feelings. I was 1st impressed by your seasoned rhetoric. Then the image of Q 太郎 came to mind. I was wondering why and started thinking. I see the problem as follows: it is cute and 阿 Q for a person of above average 良知 to analyse one who has none. (Yes, I do remember what I said to you both when you left the prosecution and them the judiciary) Put it another way, it’s like asking a person who has been a vegan all his life which he THINKS is the best steakhouse/seafood restaurant. It is in their , commentator and commentatee, respective natures that meaningful insights become 哂氣. In these premises, yes you are wishfully-thinking.
    I don’t pretend to have above average 良知 nor admit to having none, so I’m afraid I don’t succumb to requiring a lot of proof to think the worst of dictator or dictator’s puppet. It was an eye opener to read Jung Chang’s Mao: The Unknown Story. I am not a fan of hers at all, I took it with a ton of salt. Even if one accepts 10% of it, one would be amazed by the cunning and ruthlessness of some determined individuals. To use another example, Kissinger who must be taken with a certain amount of seriousness when studying modern history depicts a no less ruthless Mao in Kissinger On China- incidentally but ironically I find Kissinger a truer sympathiser and admirer of Mao’s ideology. I won’t say books like these had changed my life but they certainly had changed my mental landscape of the political world. So that’s why I said objectively objectivity cannot not be realised by you me or anyone. Unless perhaps we are discussing pure Maths..
    I have been trying locate the articles I read documenting Leung’s and his cronies’ close and frequent contact with those principle unsavory鄉珅 like曾樹和 etc. Will forward when come across again as hint/evidence.
    You predicted correctly the police action in Yuen Long, I’d give you that. However if you are using that as a corollary for Leung’s non(direct) involvement, you are wishfully wishing again. This type of技量 or 手段is basic and standard. If it was done to make a screen to help satisfy people like you, we have a name for that, it’s called 做大龍鳳 Have you seen 監獄風雲 or any other police/ authorities corruption news report/movie. Your correct prediction can lend weight to your argument only if you assumed Leung is a義氣仔女.

  2. My dear friend, why pound me with so many bombshells. You may say many Leung fans are readily coverting to sell their flesh and soul to Leung in exchange for some sort of advantage. To suggest that he has rallied the gangsters to flex their muscle is going too far. I don't think Leung is so stupid to risk himself to such potentially lethal associations. He might have told his cronies to rally some people to turn up to show support to counter the hostility and enmity, which in the end out of his control when the gangsters turned up with muzzle like mouth piece. I never said Leung is a 義氣仔女. I do not give a damn. I am not his supporter. If I ever used a consoling tone, I only meant as a wishful thinking again to lend support to the government.

    May be my self conceited impartiality gets the better of me and I myself fall into the abyss of complacency without realizing. When there are so many facets in an incident, I just do not want to follow the majority view when I have chosen a topic to write. If my view is same as the general consensus, I won't write about it to produce a cliche like essay I myself will be disinterested reading. No harm to see thing differently and have some gratification to call it insight.

    1. About 10 days ago, I was at a theme park with my son. I almost peed myself laughing upon seeing the following incident. I have no idea what the topic was about, I just caught this snatch of their coversation:

      Father with a chhallenging tone said to son (not more than 5 years old),
      "But you said you didn't care!"

      Son replied,"I did not say FOREVERRRRR!"

  3. 她也可以向「各方」道歉。事情這樣了結,道歉對她本人有最大好處,何必還要苦苦糾纏?再繼續玩,校方下不了台就真的要「被辭職」了。

    1. 真的沒辦法,有激情的人多,有策畧的人少。道歉本身就是策畧,她可能陶醉在那篇白宮的petition裏,還爬不起來。也罷,我也可能自視過高,五十笑百。

    2. 但佢自己仲話學校不公平,好心啦,口頭警告已經保到出晒面
      cy都拎左咀頭上支持警察,安撫到佢地,一切就算啦

    剛剛在facebook看到這篇文章,是關於一單在台灣以粗言罵警而被控妨礙公務的案件。

    雖然台港兩地法制不同,但不知標少怎樣看這位台灣律師呢?

    1. 這位台灣律師以台灣的標準可能是很稱職及出色,兩地法制不同真的難以評論,以香港的法律來看,艾先生根本就不應也不會被檢控,極其量是騎單車的違例,我只能當有趣的故事來看。台灣的法庭程序跟香港很不同,硬要用香港的標準來看這位辯護律師,我認為他不稱職,也犯了professional misconduct。不過,蘋果和橙雖然都是水果,卻絕不相同。以粗言罵警怎樣構成妨礙公務呢?辱警還可以講得過去,妨礙就不應因罵粗造成。我真的不懂。

  5. Bill, I disagreed with what you said C Y Leung saved Lam Wai sze by asking Eddie Ng Hak Kim to give him the report. He over-estimated the ability of Eddie. Eddie is very timid. We had seen his performance during the protest of students about national education. He disappeared immediately and appeared with the assistance of Carrie Lam. How can he order Permanent Secretary of Education to dis-bar the certicate of teacher of Ms Lam. His subordinate is a seasoned Administrative Officer. I do not think she will listen to him. She certainly looks down on Eddie. I am not a fan of C Y Leung but only pity him for getting rebuke from many quarters. Eddie Ng is not qualified to be Principal Officer. He can play tai kit very well. It is a pity for C Y Leung to choose such staff with weak personality and no ability.

    1. Demurred views are always welcome so that we will not be dazed in our own cocoon and unable to see beyond our narrow minded sight.

      I did not mean to suggest it was the intention of CY Leung or Eddie Ng to play down the disastrous statement made by CY Leung. I believe after Leung made such a hawkish statement in Tin Shui Wai, his subordinates started the damage control and advised him to extinguish the fire. Leung turned dovish in Kwun Tong. He did not adopt a hawkish attitude again. The only way to save himself from further controversy is to back down. Eddie Ng is timid and mediocre but he was given the opportunity to solve the problem when the attitude of the boss has already changed. So it is pure accidental to bring about such a result. It was never a strategy. Maybe Leung loves to find a way to severely penalise Lam Wai sze. What he has done is stupidity begots stupidity and brings about a contrary result.

    2. Bill,I am perhaps subjective on this matter. All know that Professional Teacher Association is a very strong pressure group in Hong kong. I thus wonder how C Y Leung Administration can cope with future attack especially Occupy Central movement.

      刪除
    3. Leung and his troop are quite unable to cope with mountains of attacks. No one is able to. The first thing he should not do is unconsulted outburst from his mind. Second, he should change his cronies to ones emotion does not override ration. Perhaps he should read my blog. Just kidding.

  6. 如林慧思需要被革職, 我推算香港有3分1教師要被革職, 立即解決超額教師問題。

    1. 我看今天東方的報導,林慧思對學校的態度,無異在鋪革職之路。她真的以為自己是很了不起路見不平的女英雄,就亢奮充昏了頭腦。學校有足夠理由解僱她,對外發的聲明已很顧全她的面子,她還要對着幹就顯得不智。培靈學校不聘用她的話,其他學校會請她嗎?得些好意須回手,否則也不外是跟揚言會在學校門口播她粗口片的小丑沒有兩樣。無得撈的時候,便可日日上街拔怒刀!用上一點慧思吧!

    2. I was writing a post two days ago saying that she has the mentality of a comic book superhero. I didn't publish it because I didn't want to talk about her anymore. Perhaps I need to rethink my position.

      刪除
    3. I was also hesitant when I wrote this. When the accidental heroine really regards herself as a true heroine, she is falling into the pitfall created by the political turmoil.

  7. 前兩日略聽D100電台吳志森與她及聽眾談話, 感覺吳及聽眾慫恿她堅持不道歉. 原因:
    1.WTF不是侮辱人的粗口, 是"搞_鬼"意思
    2.如道歉等於向惡勢力低頭..否則香港更不堪...云云(大意如此, 不是一字無誤轉述)
    是否不少教師只顧堅持原則,不從多方面考慮?或己界定對方有惡勢力支撐, 不能示弱?

    回覆刪除
    回覆
    1. 這件事我講了不少,法理情理兼備。再分析WTF或有沒有講罵娘的話已沒意義,越抵賴就越醜陋。人貴自知,懂得道歉的智慧的人不多,四兩撥千斤,化解壓力於無形。向惡勢力低頭嘛,唉!跟這種心智水平的人講真的浪費時間。硬碰就會嬴嗎?警察8月4日到旺角撐場,男子漢大丈夫,態度夠強硬吧,結果怎樣?嬴得罵名。梁振英在天水圍的發言夠強硬啦,結果自取其辱。這些人叫有勇無謀。林慧思最大的問題是沒有認清自己的能力,只陶醉於別人以路見不平來替她開脫,使她自信心畸形膨脹起來,她沾沾自喜以為自己了不起,錯失了瑕不掩瑜的良機,變成瑜不掩瑕。這種水平的人,懂的就是後悔,而且是當事情發生過了很久之後,才如夢初醒。擇善固執和冥頑不靈分別在哪?不要讓可以長智的事變成弱智。

    2. Bill, It is rather interesting to read news that Ms. Lam overturned her acceptance of lenient punishment. I wonder how chicked-heart Eddie Ng to face her response. Suppose she can obtain medical report that she has emotional disease,can the school concerned and the government sack her?
