那位针砭时弊的“孔大山”   文化奖得主英培安离逝

文化奖得主、笔耕半世纪的本地知名作家英培安,于昨日(10日)下午1时35分因病去世,享年74岁。

英培安出生于1947年1月26日,早在公教中学时期就开始创作,七八十年代曾以笔名“孔大山”写了不少风格犀利,针砭时弊的杂文。他还曾在黄金大厦经营“前卫”书店,并先后出版独立杂志《前卫》和《茶座》。

不过,1977年11月,英培安却被怀疑与“马来亚解放阵线”有联系,在内安法令下被捕而拘禁近四个月,最后才发现无罪。此后他致力长篇小说写作,例如1987年出版《一个像我这样的男人》,1989年出版《孤寂的脸》。

1995年,他在桥北路中心三楼开设“草根书室”,专营文史哲书籍,顿时成为本地文史爱好者的宝库,也是文化旅客的朝圣之地。 2014年三位有心人林仁余、林永心和林韦地接手草根书室,英培安则专心写作。

早在2007年,英培安就被诊断罹患前列腺癌第四期,即便无法动手术,他仍以顽强意志力抗疾。25万字的长篇小说《画室》,就是在抗癌和面对官司期间的四年完成的。

不幸的是,2015年,又被诊断患有大肠癌,手术切除了一段大肠。据《联合早报》报导,英培安的妻子吴明珠指出,2020年5月英培安接受检查,又发现胰脏癌,手术过后血糖高低不定,胃口也不好,血糖过低时会变得神志不清,曾经因此由救护车紧急送院。

回溯六年前,他针对武吉巴督补选受访表达看法。对于有人称,民主党秘书长徐顺全和执政50年政府硬干,如同“鸡蛋碰石头”,对此他直言“我选择站在鸡蛋这一边,我也希望你们站在鸡蛋这一边。”

“只有独裁国家文化人才不会出来讲话”,“如果没有了批评的自由,那是很严重的事情”。
