✍️📷 【2025财政预算案 · 华语对话会】昨晚有幸参与“2025年财政预算案”华语对话会,现场座无虚席,讨论气氛热烈!特别感谢交通部长兼财政部第二部长 徐芳达部长与文化 (Hong Tat Chee)、社区及青年部兼社会及家庭发展部高级政务次长 蔡瑞隆先生 (Eric Chua ),亲自出席与我们交流。这不仅是一场政策分享会,更是一次民情民意的深度对话。 🎤🎙️ 部长们坦诚回应了许多民生课题,从年长者福利、医疗津贴,到住房保障,再到国家整体经济环境与全球挑战。在大环境不确定的当下,政治与经济变动牵动人心。部长们强调,新加坡必须自强不息,掌握自己的命运,在国际浪潮中稳健前行。 🧓 针对年长国人安享晚年的议题,政府提出了几项实质措施: 🎁 启动新的保健储蓄户头对冲计划,减轻年长者医疗及长期护理开销 🎁 每月最高600元的家庭医生健康支援计划 🎁 扩大“乐龄邻里计划”,促进社区共融 🎁 更多长期租赁和社区安居方案,让弱势家庭更稳固 除此之外,民众也提出了许多建设性建议: ❣️ 医疗津贴需进一步提高 ❣️ 托管与护理服务成本高,希望加强补贴 ❣️ 乐龄设施不足,建议完善基础设施及网络 ❣️ 将CDC Vouchers兑换为现金,提高灵活性 ❣️ 鼓励年轻人参与义工活动,与年长者互动交流 ❣️ 推动终身学习和技能提升,助力年长人士保持活力和独立性 ✍️🌿 我个人认为,随着人口老龄化加剧,仅靠拨款已远远不够。更重要的是培养一种代际互助的社会文化,鼓励年轻一代——包括在籍学生和初入职场的青年人——主动投入志愿服务,与年长者交流互动。年轻人可以从他们丰富的人生经验中,学到如何少走弯路、提升心智。而年长者也能在分享过程中,获得陪伴和心灵满足,彼此共同成长。这种“精神上的互助”,是未来新加坡最需要的软实力。 ❓ 你怎么看?你觉得还有哪些政策或行动,可以帮助我们的年长人士安享晚年?欢迎留言分享! 🤝👏🌏 再次感谢徐芳达部长与蔡瑞隆政务次长,以及REACH和新加坡宗乡会馆联合总会SFCCA的精心安排! hashtag#Budget2025 hashtag#代际共融 hashtag#华社 hashtag#可持续发展 hashtag#社区关怀 hashtag#志愿服务 hashtag#MarVinFoo hashtag#REACH hashtag#新加坡精神 hashtag#自强不息 Ministry…

【纪念孙中山先生逝世100周年——文化讲座有感】

【纪念孙中山先生逝世100周年——文化讲座有感】 非常荣幸受邀出席纪念孙中山先生逝世100周年文化讲座,由同德书报社共同主办。本次讲座不仅缅怀一代伟人的革命精神,更展现了孙中山理念在新加坡的延续与影响。 特别感谢鲁虎博士(新加坡社科大学中文系历史讲师)的精彩讲解。他详细介绍了盛梦琴学者,这位受日本农科大学训练的南来学者,一生致力于文化教育的推广与社会公益事业。盛梦琴的孙女、文史研究者盛惠龄女士,也在现场分享祖父鲜为人知的历史细节,为我们还原了那个时代的峥嵘岁月。 孙中山精神在新加坡的回响 孙中山先生倡导的“民族、民权、民生”三民主义,强调民主共和理念,这与今日新加坡“追求平等、民主社会”的价值观高度契合。他提出“培植人才,为自强之计”,成为我们今日持续培养多元社会人才的精神坐标。 从同盟会到同德书报社 1905年,孙中山与黄兴等志士在日本成立同盟会,汇聚海内外力量,旨在“驱除鞑虏,恢复中华,创立民国,平均地权”。同盟会的主要发起人中,许多为潮汕籍精英,在新加坡创办同德书报社,并通过推广国语教育,凝聚南洋华人社会。取代同盟会的在新加坡国民党因英殖民地政府的政策调整而失去的合法地位,却通过同德书报社延续其文化使命,成为当年无数青年人的思想启蒙之地。 盛梦琴学者的时代担当 盛梦琴曾于湖南时务学堂提出:“培植人才,为自强之计”,这一理念贯穿他的一生。他在同德书报社开办国语班、日文班,并成为华民政务司帮办孙崇瑜的日文老师。他与在同德书报社创办圣约翰救伤队的胡载坤医生交情深厚。二战爆发前,同德书报社他们已培训逾200名救伤员,为战时前线提供了坚实的人道支援。同德书报社选择圣约翰救伤队而非红十字会,正是为了获得英国殖民政府的合法认可,最终由时任总督金文泰亲自颁发证书。 在*农业与农学(生态)*领域,盛梦琴同样贡献卓著。曾远赴广西,考察大规模垦殖投资。他在华侨垦殖公司发起人大会上,详细讲述当时广西的土壤、气候与军政。华侨垦殖公司在成功买下两座桐树林,为抗日战争做出一定的贡献。 #历史记忆与文化传承 这份文章也在领英社交媒体发布过,链接就在这儿。
