參選宣言:「去除瘀血 更新立會」

勞永樂挺身參加2012立法會港島區地區直選,以行動宣示對現屆立法會議員差劣表現之不滿。現屆立法會單是流會次數之多,已深受市民詬病。流會非因「拉布」戰,主因是「建制派」議員開小差,支取立法會議員薪酬、津貼,卻一身兼多職,金錢名譽地位享盡,卻事事都比立法會工作重要。

因此,勞永樂以「去除瘀血 更新立會」為參選主題,並就此印製立法會『七宗罪』單張,供市民省覽,呼籲市民以一人一票方法清除「瘀血」議員,更新立法會。

勞永樂從切身體驗,覺悟「小圈子」選舉不公義。2004年結束「小圈子」醫學界議員生涯之後,公開承諾不再沾手「小圈子」特權,至今信守承諾,不再參與任何形式的「小圈子」選舉,包括功能界別立法會議員選舉、選舉委員選舉、特首選舉、「超級區議會」立法會議席選舉,並對參與此等選舉人士口誅筆伐。

是故,勞永樂選擇不與任何參加「小圈子」選舉、卻仍以「民主派」自居、講一套做一套的政黨、政客為伍,決定以獨立人士身份參選。因此,勞永樂毋須受黨派利益左右,全心全意服侍市民,以一貫是其是非其非作風議政,誰損害市民利益,不管是政府、是權貴,是「建制派」,抑或是「民主派」,一律不留情面,直斥其非。

勞永樂出身基層,曾先後居於上環板間房及北角健康村,受社會栽培成為醫生,視回饋社會為己任。關顧貧病老弱、為受盡「地產霸權」壓迫剝削的基層及中產人士出頭,將是當選後工作重點。

Manifesto in English

Revitalize our Legislative Council

Manifesto of Dr. Lo Wing Lok

Candidate of the 2012 Legislative Council election - Hong Kong Island geographical constituency

Lo Wing Lok stands for election to the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Island geographical constituency, because he is fed-up with the inept performance of the present members of the Council. He sees, “It is utterly disgraceful that meetings could not be convened or have been interrupted repeatedly because of the lack of a quorum. The blame is mostly on the pro-establishment legislators. They sneaked out from the Legislative Council to take up multiple other roles, including gainful employment and other public appointments, earning themselves extra money, renown and influence, but regrettably placing the work of the Legislative Council, including fighting their professed foes - the filibusters, at the lowest priority.”

“These pro-establishment legislators who did not show up at Legislative Council meetings are undoubtedly the "stale blood" of the legislature. I appeal to the electorate to vote discriminately in the coming election, so that the Legislative Council is revitalized by the removal of stale blood and by the injection of new blood.”

Lo Wing Lok learnt first-hand of the injustice in allowing "small circles" with political privileges. After ending his term as legislator, representing the medical functional constituency in 2004, he pledged to the public that he would never be part of any "small circle" election again. Lo Wing Lok honoured his pledge by not participating in any functional constituency election, or election committee election, Chief Executive election, or even the “super" District Council functional constituency elections held since then. He has also become outstanding as one of the most vocal critics of people and political parties participating in these elections.

Lo Wing Lok chose to stand as an "independent" instead of a "democrat" because he cannot agree with people and parties who claim that they are "democrats" but yet participated in the small circles election again and again. Being an independent also has the advantage of having only to serve one master, namely the Hong Kong people, instead of being torn between the sometimes conflicting interests of people and Party. He pledges to continue serving the people as the vocal critic he has been, according to what is wrong and what is right, rather than according to partisan interests.

Lo Wing Lok was born in Hong Kong. He comes from a grassroots family that has lived its early years in a partitioned room in Sheung Wan, then in a rental unit of the Housing Society at North Point. He was given the opportunity to become a doctor through the low cost of education so well provided by our society; thus, he takes it as his calling and responsibility to repay this debt by serving the people. If elected, the focus of his work will be serving the poorer sector, the sick, the elderly and the under-privileged, fighting for the grassroots and middle class who are constantly oppressed and economically disadvantaged because of the increasing costs factors, in particular the high cost of land.

教育公平 均富之本



教育公平  均富之本
壟斷香港經濟命脈的財團、財閥,透過受其控制的輿論機器替香港人「洗腦」,刻意締造「市場」等同「選擇」的假象。

事實上,「市場」的真正意義就是「有錢大晒」。愈有錢,愈有能力壟斷市場,愈有能力剝削無財無勢者。

除了醫療市場化、私營化,令醫療淪為剝削市民的牟利事業之外;教育市場化亦是市民必須關注的不利發展,令人擔心的現象,包括:

富孩專利:愈來愈多名校變「直資」,令學費大幅上升,每年可高達三、五、七萬元,名校成富裕家庭孩子的專利。
貧窮標籤:「直資」名校聲稱為普通家庭學生提供獎學金,但獎學金使用率偏低,反映這些學校在招收此類學生的意欲偏低,或來自普通家庭的學生不欲因申領獎學金而被冠以貧窮標籤。名校「直資化」已成普通家庭孩子入讀的屏障。
公校縮班:當「直資」名校不斷增加的同時,無可能變「直資」的公立名校郤被政府強制縮班,令普通家庭孩子入讀名校的機會進一步減少。
連鎖效應:普通家庭孩子接受優質中學教育的機會被剝削,入讀優質大學課程的機會隨之被削弱,被迫選擇非資助學位或副學位者遠比富裕家庭孩子多。
貧者愈貧:普通家庭須耗費本已十分有限的資源供孩子入讀次一級學位,孩子畢業後就業前景不如富裕家庭孩子,且要償還學債,進入成人社會時已活在貧窮邊緣。

教育市場化只會加劇貧富懸殊,令普通家庭孩子的選擇愈來愈少。

我的立場:

            1.         反對進一步增加「直資」學校。
            2.        反對進一步削減公立名校學額。
            3.         規定「直資」學校一定百分比學額,由政府作中央分配,只以學生學業及品行 為分配學額標準。高昂學費由政府支付,以免學生因申領獎學金而被標籤。
            4.         爭取政府資助現時的非資助學位及副學位,減低普通家庭的負擔。
            5.        爭取政府為大專學生償還學債,如同向市民派發現金,或其他優惠一樣。
