感念詹时中解燃眉之急 乔立盟立志传承奉献精神

乔立盟在今年初加入新加坡人民党,放眼为新加坡居民生活带来改变,特别是为波东巴西居民。

早在1984年,13岁的乔立盟就陪同父亲,聆听民主党创党人詹时中的竞选政治讲座,感受选民的热情。后者在该年赢得波东巴西国会议席。

四年后,在詹时中的竞选集会,乔立盟帮助父亲派发竞选宣言给信立新村居民。“我的父亲开了一辆蓝色小卡车,我则就坐在后面把传单传给他派发,至今我还保留着父亲当时穿着的民主党T恤。”

建屋局拉屋  詹时中救急

但是真正影响乔立盟政治信仰的,还要回溯到1990年的一件事。当时,乔立盟一家不敷偿还抵押金,导致房屋发展局要拉回他们在西裕廊的组屋单位,乔立盟的父亲只好硬着头皮向詹时中求助。

詹时中当时二话不说,就签了支票帮乔立盟一家偿还了组屋押金,他们一家才免受流离失所之苦。詹的无私和真诚慷慨助人,使乔立盟深深敬仰,决心继承这种奉献精神,辅助社会弱势群体。

上述事件至今已28年,乔立盟没有忘记幼年时詹时中雪中送炭,他在生活中秉持信念不懈努力,担任过部长新闻秘书、新加坡游泳协会副会长和2011年至2014年新加坡环境理事会总执行员,也成立了自己的通讯公司SPIN Worldwide,同时也成为詹时中体育基金会的副主席。

“不论来自什么背景,每个人一生中可能会遇到需要帮忙的时候,最重要我们必须即时伸出援手。”乔立盟说,这种想法随着年龄增长越发强烈。

乔立盟在2015年选举前曾助阵行动党,受询及为何最终选择加入反对党,他表示这是他感念詹时中对他一家的付出,也希望能把詹的政治抱负传承下去,“希望能帮助更多的人。”

近期,他协助波东巴西一名曾服刑居民反映问题,使得后者成功找到工作,养活家人。乔立盟冀能“日行一善”,为不幸群体和面对困境人士改善他人的生活。乔立盟说,会一直秉持詹时中的信念,并希望大家这种爱心能人人传递下去。

同时,自1984年聆听詹时中的政治演讲,詹时中无时无刻为新加坡人的理念,乔立盟也铭记在心。虽然45岁的乔立盟仍是政治圈新手,不过热衷于服务波东巴西居民,已经为他争取得不少赞誉。
