八成台灣人 去年曾捐款
中國企業家陳光標高調捐款的作風在台灣引起議論。事實上,習慣低調、默默行善的國人也充滿愛心,聯合勸募協會的網路調查就發現,八成受訪者去年曾捐款,每人平均捐款逾六次。

〔記者謝文華/台北報導〕聯合勸募協會與東方快線,針對去年台灣人捐款行為進行網路調查發現,八成受訪者表示在一年內曾捐款,每人平均捐款逾六次,全年每人平均捐款金額為三千七百一十六元;還有三成五表態今年捐款意願高,其中有一成願捐出年終獎金的一成,關懷「甘苦人」。

每人平均年捐逾三千七百元

高調捐款、公開發紅包的中國富商陳光標,昨在台北、新竹行程中,出現幾起弱勢人士向他跪求紅包的事件,引起國人議論。

事實上,台灣社會每天有數不完的行善故事,依自己能力每月捐一百元、數百元、幾千元的十分普遍,捐款做好事,早已是多數台灣人民的平常事。

台東菜販陳樹菊二十年來捐款逾千萬助學、南投的陳綢阿嬤四十年來作粿包粽籌款建兒少之家、嘉邑行善團四十年造三百座橋等,早已成為國人傳頌的佳話,但在全台各個角落還有無數暗暗行善、默默發光的無名英雄。

聯勸秘書長周文珍昨就表示,每月定期定額捐款給聯勸者,從一百元到十萬元都有,台灣的社會力、生命力,正是靠這許許多多的「陳樹菊們」建立起來的,各界無須為少數向陳光標哭求紅包的個案打自己耳光,更不要誤認為台灣社會過去長期集政府民間之力,濟貧扶弱的努力都不存在。

聯勸昨也透露,桃園某建商近日獲某企業頒發一百萬績效獎金後,建商團隊就以該企業名義全數捐給聯勸;另有父親帶著小孩低調捐出八萬現金,但他們都不願公開行善事蹟,顯示台灣人的愛心未被金融風暴澆熄,仍在各角落默默散發溫暖。

周文珍表示,去年聯勸定期定額捐款人數一萬一千八百七十七人,比前年成長七%;至於捐款金額,去年平均每人月捐六百六十三元,扣除災難捐款的一般愛心捐款,去年捐款總額也比前年增加六%,共三億三千萬元,估計能提供四百多個社福機構、服務照顧六十萬人。

周文珍並指出,行政院主計處曾在二○○一年調查推估台灣人民及企業,一年捐款四百三十五億,以近十年聯勸等大型社福團體捐款收入逐年成長趨勢來看,台灣人民及企業每年的捐款,應該遠大於十年前政府推估數據。

聯勸與東方快線此次進行的「二○一一台灣民眾捐款行為調查」中,也探究了民眾捐款與不捐款的原因。

捐款者中,有七成以上是「盼盡一己之力回饋社會」,四成九認同捐款機構的理念,四成七對苦難者感同身受,近三成則相信可累積福報。

「陳樹菊們」默默散發溫暖

未捐款者中,四成五表示沒有多餘的錢,其次有四成四是擔心捐款沒有被好好運用。此外,有鑑於美國富豪們發起「公益行善宣言」,在全球富豪界引發效應,有三成九受訪者考慮把大部份的財產捐出,跟進這股「裸捐」風!

周文珍綜合分析指出,上述數據顯示,台灣人的捐款心態不再是盲目或濫情,而是願意用長期的支持及期待,去改善社福窘境。更可喜的是,在台灣社會,高度崇尚拜金主義的消費觀念也有慢慢破除跡象,有六成受訪者表示,願意省下奢侈性消費,就算收入減少仍願持續捐款。



立委Legislators slam Ma over PRC tycoon's visit


By 顏若瑾Yan Juo-chin
In view of the chaotic scenes stirred up by Chinese tycoon Chen Guangbiao (陳光標), who was stopped by several Taiwanese begging for cash handouts yesterday, lawmakers across party lines accused the government of shaming Taiwan.

“Don’t you feel ashamed, [President] Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九)? Letting go of the local government to heap praise on Chen, letting go in the face of Chen’s display of arrogance and letting go of Taiwan so it becomes like a place full of hungry people,” Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Pan Men- an (潘孟安) said, referring to Chen’s flamboyant style of charity, which is well-known in China.

Chen arrived in Taiwan on Wednesday night and began distributing cash to disadvantaged families yesterday in what he called a response to the outpouring of support Taiwanese showed for Chinese victims of the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake.

Earlier yesterday, Chen handed three red envelopes containing a total of NT$70,000 (US$2,300) to a woman who said she had been waiting for him at his hotel in Taipei since Wednesday night.

“I’ve never counted so many banknotes. I don’t know what to do. I will use the money to take care of my 88-year-old mother,” the woman told reporters, her voice cracking with emotion.

Chen’s schedule took him to Hsinchu County later yesterday, where he donated NT$6.7 million to disadvantaged families in cooperation with the county government. A tearful woman there also attempted to get closer to Chen, saying she had traveled from Taipei to Hsinchu to ask for money to pay for her husband’s funeral.

She was stopped by police before getting near Chen.

While speaking to the Taiwanese media, Chen was seen holding up a wad of NT$2,000 notes spread out in a fan shape. Chen has said that he planned to donate up to NT$500 million to the poor in Taiwan.

Pan said Minister of the Interior Jiang Yi-huah (江宜樺) ought to be ashamed because of the government’s inadequate welfare system.

“The nation’s underprivileged are forced to surrender their dignity and beg from a hypocrite,” Pan said.

Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Lo Shu-lei (羅淑蕾) concurred, criticizing the Ma government for what she called inadequate preparation and not keeping Chen’s actions in Taiwan in check.

“This is utterly shameful,” Lo said. “Chen’s high-profile donation manner makes it seem as if our government cannot take good care of its people.”

The government should immediately get in touch with Chen and advise him to make his donations via local charity groups, hence avoiding a replay of Chen being bombarded by people begging for donations wherever he goes, Lo said.

Some county governments and DPP officials have voiced opposition to Chen’s donation plans in Taiwan, raising concern that his high-profile manner might hurt the recipients’ feelings or dignity.

Meanwhile, Chen canceled his business itinerary, raising further doubts, because he was granted entry to Taiwan as a business professional and was supposed to participate in business activities during his stay under the regulations governing cross-strait travel.

Responding to accusations he was promoting unification with China, 42-year-old Chen told reporters yesterday: “I don’t know anything about propaganda for Chinese reunification. I only know about charity and environmental work. I just want to do good.”

Chen is scheduled to visit Nantou County and Hualien County during the remainder of his trip.

攔路跪討紅包 立委:馬英九你不慚愧嗎

中國富商陳光標昨展開來台後首日捐款行程,所經之處皆引起民眾攔路下跪討紅包的混亂狀況,不但貽羞國際,也凸顯馬政府無能。藍綠立委昨痛批,馬英九總統放任各縣長吹捧陳、人民搶食如餓鬼,彷彿台灣人民吃不飽、穿不暖,實在丟臉丟到家!「馬英九你不會慚愧嗎?」

總統府回應 尊重各種評價

針對立委的批評,總統府方面昨對此表示,尊重在民主社會下對個人事件的各種評價。

台聯黨主席黃昆輝昨也指出,中國統戰伎倆層出不窮,不只對台灣人民心理威嚇,現在更要出馬英九的醜,公開凸顯台灣在馬英九無能主政下,生活困苦的人愈來愈多,必須靠中國人「金援」,「馬英九還有臉見人嗎?」

黃昆輝轟馬 還有臉見人嗎

黃昆輝說,陳光標的生意都和中國政府有關,中國進行外匯管制,他卻可以帶鉅款出境,必然有中國政府特別通融;中國不少地方政府都以「慈善捐款」為主要財源,與政府關係密切的企業,捐款給政府做「慈善」已蔚為風氣,其中的曖昧關係不言可喻。

黃昆輝說,中國網民說陳光標可以當統戰部部長,可見人民眼睛是雪亮的;陳光標來台灣帶著濃濃的統戰意味,這可以看出馬英九政府的無能,中國派出一個陳光標,就可以讓馬英九顏面掃地。

羅淑蕾怒斥 丟臉丟到家了

國民黨立委羅淑蕾則怒斥,政府沒有做好事前把關,「丟臉丟到家,實在太難看了。」陳光標高調灑錢,好像我國政府無法承擔照顧自己的人民的責任,還讓國內外媒體大量報導民眾攔路要紅包的混亂場面,「實在有損我國顏面」。

羅淑蕾強調,政府應該馬上跟陳光標聯繫,輔導他透過慈善單位捐款,不要讓類似攔路討紅包的場面再次出現,「真的太難看了。」

民進黨團書記長潘孟安抨擊,馬英九放任陳光標囂張,放任各縣政府吹捧陳光標,放任台灣陷入「七月餓鬼,到處搶食」的狀態,「馬英九你不會感到慚愧嗎?」「馬英九執政團隊要負責!」

潘孟安說,他看到陳光標來台第一天就造成如此混亂現象,心裡非常難過;台灣有許多為善不欲人知的謙卑者,卻讓一個中國來的囂張者「假行善之舉,行沽名釣譽之實」,混亂社會價值觀,國家制度無法保障這些弱勢者,逼他們放棄尊嚴去跟一個偽善者行討,「內政部長江宜樺不會感到汗顏嗎?」「總統馬英九不會感到慚愧嗎?」

陳亭妃抨擊 落入統戰伎倆

潘孟安表示,馬政府執政三年,貧富差距擴大,台灣窮苦人家暴增,國家社會福利政策出現漏洞,這些弊病叢生的黑洞,絕不是台灣人民樂見的未來。

立委陳亭妃抨擊,馬政府事前可以預估陳光標來台恐造成社會混亂,卻沒有適當處理,國際媒體將嚴重貧富對比的錯誤訊息傳出去,中國人看到台灣人民吃不飽、穿不暖,那麼多人等待捐助,根本是落入中國的統戰伎倆;這種展現威權的高調方式,無疑就是侮辱台灣人,告訴台灣人「我就是行、我就是能」,馬英九為什麼還毫無作為?
