「細眉細眼」的事 Community Work

Michael Tien told reporter that voter should consider what a candidate had done for HK as a whole rather than focusing on the small piece community case after he was defeated in the Legco election.

Tien gets a point, but it also reflects that candidate or politician like him pays little attention to community work. What in their mind must be big issues. People criticise them that it is the reason that they failed in the election.

District councillor like me often deal with small piece community cases, I think this blog already proofs a lot. The followings are two cases we'd followed:

one is asked a resident that he found a dead tree inside the ex-WCH Estate and he thinks the concerned dept should cut the dead tree asap;

the second one is proposed by another resident that there should be noticeboard of other things to prevent people step into the "tree hole", which was made after the tree broken down by typoon.

自由黨田北辰競選落敗，他對記者表示，期望市民多從候選人整體為香港做過的成績考慮，而非只著重「候選人到底在區內幫市民做了多少細眉細眼的事情」。這番言論頗引起批評。

地區工作當然重要(區議員尤其如此)，田先生希望市民選舉時多考候選人整體的看法也沒錯；但雖然說「細眉細眼」確是實情，但以此眼光視議員辦事處平日處理市民這類投訴或意見的社區個案，這番言論也確實反映了田北辰這類政治人物不重視(更甚者為不屑為之)地區工作的心態。

下面是這兩天我們處理的「細眉細眼」的個案：前兩圖是黃竹坑邨內的枯樹應派員清理以預防意外；後面圖則是颱風後惠福道一棵樹被吹斷，留下樹坑，居民指夜歸時容易不小心失足踏入樹坑而發生意外，故我們向路政署提出應儘快加指示牌或圈住樹坑，長遠計自然是應儘快種植樹木。
