包括探访社区照顾邻里 网民困惑市长与议员职务有何区别?

为了能让民众了解市长的日常职务,《亚洲新闻台》以西南区市长刘燕玲为例,记录了刘燕玲当市长与在社区发展理事会(CDC)工作的日常。

社区发展理事会旨在支持国家政策、与居民接触、与政府机构、基层领导与民间团体合作。目前,我国共有五个社区发展理事会,其中包括西南区、中区、西北区、东南区以及东北区,每一区将任命一位市长。

而刘燕玲则为市长委员会里担任主席职位,想必刘燕玲对于市长的职位相当了解。询及市长的角色时,刘燕玲表示,市长如同中台(middle office)执行所有目标和计划,满足前线需求,并确保所有流程能够流畅进行。

然而,刘燕玲并非只任职市长,她目前除了是蔡厝港的议员,还是贸工部兼文化、社区及青年部政务部长。

市长的日常

视频始于刘燕玲前往联华小学,并与该校职员和学生对谈。她也与一名西南区的长期合作伙伴拍摄洗手液与鞋子捐赠的活动。

随后,镜头来到了职总保健合作社(NTUC Health)文礼关爱快乐中心见证老人在上画画课。午餐前,再前往吉丰民众俱乐部参观了可持续发展行业的就业展览。

之后,刘燕玲前往武吉巴督的组屋和社区花园进行参观,直至下午2点半。她也向《亚洲新闻台》记者表示,市长的其中角色是与社区建立关系,这样才能走进社区了解居民的需求。

社区发展中心旨在资源整合

她也解释社区发展中心的作用主要以两种“ABC”执行,首先是帮助所需(Assist the needy)、与人民连结( Bond the people) 、与社区连结(Connect the community)

再来是资源整合(Aggregate resources)、功能建构( Build capabilities)、  与社区连结(Connect the community)。

“我们有许多幕后的工作正在进行包括资源整合、收集。虽然并不是非常明显,但却极为重要,也因此产生了许多解决方案。”

而且社区发展中心也会透过参考人口结构,提供所需家庭相应的产品数量和帮助。

询及市长工作最困难的部分,刘燕玲坦言,一些弱势家庭希望孩子能够持续上学,但往往家中的一件事就足以让所有努力化为乌有,这些都让她感到难过。

市长刘燕玲的日常 网民似乎不买单

报道发布后,也引发网民讨论。许多网民对于市长的职位始终困惑,并质问市长与议员又有何区别。

“真的不明白为什么我们需要这么多市长,当议员就可以把所有事情做完。这难道是因为议员是兼职不能参加所有活动,所以才要市长来吗?”

“所以市长的意义在哪,当议员都已经做完了?安排各种参观是能够为社区创造什么目标?”

“我希望议员就能做。真的是要看你怎么主观判断。据我所见,就是重叠。”

也有网友看完报道后,认为市长的位置就是在浪费纳税人的钱。

“说真的,我并没有被说服,还是不清楚市长到底在干吗。难道报导中所提到的工作不是都由部长、社会团队等人做了吗?如果付钱后只是在做这些工作,而且这些工作都可以被其他单位取代,那又有何意义。其他大城市如纽约和伦敦都只有一位市长,我们都不如他们大却有五位。”

“我读了两遍,我还是不知道市长的工作。就这样?说真的,任何社工都可以做得比她更好。”

“就是在浪费纳税人的钱!这么丁点小的国家就要这么多市长?这难道不是在给自己人好处吗?”
