港人最悲痛的一天

八月二十三日是全港市民最悲痛的一天,幾乎每一個港人都可以在電視機前目睹一宗完全荒謬冷血的慘劇。康泰旅行社一個全數二十一個港人參加的旅行團,遭一名被革職的菲律賓警員挾持,僵持十一個小時後,因菲律賓政府和現場的所謂特警顢頇無能,處理失 當,導致槍手突然發難,槍殺人質,結果「八死七傷」,其中三人重傷。

執筆時他們仍然生死未卜,因為無能的菲律賓政府,工作效率之低劣,舉世無雙,事發後折騰大半日,幾經擾攘,傷亡人士的個人資料才能確定,以他們政府的素質和醫療水平,重傷的港人能否獲得妥善照顧,實在令人懷疑。

菲國警隊愚笨拙劣

如果腐敗貪污的菲律賓政府不是不負責任,一宗轟動國際有辱國家聲名的事件,竟然一個可以主持大局的官員也沒有即時趕到現場指揮,特首曾蔭權多次接觸菲律賓總 統也不獲理睬,現場便不會好像無政府狀態一樣,磋砣十多個小時,也一籌莫展。所謂談判專家,更是不知所謂,完全缺乏應有的專業知識和技巧,最後更因拘捕當事人的弟弟而激怒槍手,後者情緒失控,因此釀成慘劇。

菲律賓的警隊,更屬垃圾。所謂特種部隊,裝備、部署、策略、行動完全不合格,即使普通 人一看,也知他們沒有任何專業訓練。如果不知情,還以為自已是正在觀看警察嬉春一類的笑片,因為那班菲律賓體型肥腫不分的特警竟然常識欠奉,用鐵鎚敲打巴士玻璃,全不知道世界上有釘錘這樣東西,只有尖物才可破碎玻璃,愚笨拙劣如斯,簡直是菲律賓的國恥。

最令人憤怒的是,我們在鏡頭前,完全可 以看出那批職責理應保赤安良的特警,一點專業精神也沒有,自己保命心態遠遠大於救人之心,因此大有理由相信,在一片混亂之中,部分人質可能並非死於兇手槍下,而是被救人的菲律賓特警誤殺!

事實上,CNN已有此報道,槍手倒下後,特警才亂槍掃射,有幾個人質中槍。因此,特區政府一定要追究到底,要求菲律賓政 府向港人交代,還死難者一個公道。

總之,腐敗貪污、醜聞蘿蘿、臭名昭著的菲律賓警察,名副其實是烏合之眾,根本不可信賴,反映菲律賓已經病入膏肓,不可救藥。

港人素質難能可貴

相比之下 ,我們更覺在危難中,港人的素質和精神盡顯,難能可貴。旅行團的領隊固然臨危不亂,勇於負責,冒死即時向公司滙報情況,最終不幸殉職,令人遺憾;中午獲准帶同兩名年幼子女離開的符太,也機警過人,並且發揮守望相助精神,藉詞親屬帶同另一個小童離開,教他倖免於難;最後兇徒開槍射殺人質,其中一位人質梁先生 阻止兇徒殺人及保護其妻更捨身救人,奮勇衝出,阻止兇徒殺人,偉大的犧牲精神,令人動容。

我們的特區政府亦反應迅速,處理危機的表現,值得讚揚。事發後,特區政府已即時成立專責小組,由特首親自率領,並且立即聯絡中國駐菲領事館及菲律賓政府,要求確保人質生命安全第一優先。慘劇發生後,政府漏夜已包機前赴馬尼拉,隨行除家屬外,還有入境處、保安科、醫療專家和心理專家,務求盡快將受害港人安全送返本港。政府翌日更下半旗致哀,並向菲律賓發出旅遊黑色警告,以及要求菲律賓政府向港人交代事件。令人遺憾的是,馬尼拉究非香港本土,鞭長莫及,最終我們只能眼巴巴看着慘劇發生。

今次慘劇,全港市民親身目睹情況,無不悲憤莫名,哀痛不已。翌日全港報章都以頭條報道,部分更套黑以示哀悼。

新聞界反應迅速,各大電視台即時派員前赴馬尼拉現場詳盡報道,都是香港精神的體現。電台的烽煙節目,也立即以為題,評論以外,也讓聽眾自抒己見。正當商營傳 媒無不總動員跟進事件,港台卻受體制和官僚作風所限,《自由風》竟然只是聊備一格,不旋踵便轉向中大調查指上網時間過長影響兒童學業及健康和二十三條立法的話題,可見港台的監製完全欠缺應變能力,也脫離民眾,不知急市民所急,怠慢遲鈍如斯,名副其實是官台。

不要把怒氣向菲傭發洩

死者已矣,港人悲痛之餘,儘管令人遺憾的是,今次死傷的盡是港人,菲裔人質卻全被釋放,難免令人覺得兇徒有種族主義傾向。但千萬不要將憤怒發洩在家裏的菲傭 身上,她們為了家人生計已經需要離鄉別井,飽受孤苦寂寞,還要被國家剝削,為國家賺取外滙。今次事件,相信她們亦會為自己的國家感到差恥。

今次應該為慘劇負上全責的,肯定是阿基諾三世政權。菲律賓實在欠港人一個交代,更應鄭重道歉。菲律賓治安之劣,舉世知名,為了自己生命安全,也為了懲戒菲律
賓政府,港人應該自動自覺杯葛到菲律賓旅遊至少一年,用實際行動顯示我們的憤怒。因是之故,那些在政府發出黑色旅遊警示後,仍然表示只會停辦旅行團至九月
八日,並且不肯全數退還旅行團費的旅行社,實在利慾薰心,行為令人齒冷。你們是香港人嗎?你們又對得住香港人嗎?

Wilshere and Szczesny give Arsenal far more authority and guts

By Myles Palmer

Arsenal 2 Barcelona 1

Villa 26, Van Persie 78, Arshavin 83

____________________________

The key player in the Nou Camp will be Szczesny.

So pray that nothing happens to Arsenal’s goalkeeper between now and Tuesday, March 8th.

Barcelona’s style is cleverly-timed runs onto sharp little passes, which c reates a lot of one-on-one chances with the keeper.

Wojciech Szczesny’s fine positional judgement makes him a master of making opponents shoot into the side-netting or just past the post.

On the goal, he was a bit unlucky because David Villa, a razor finisher in these situations, slotted between his legs.

By contrast, he got lucky on the loose ball after his save, when the scrambling Messi headed in but was flagged offside. Messi wasn't offside.

For me, Szczesny was Arsenal’s best player last night for that reason. Making Messi miss was the name of the game.

Yes, Koscielny played his finest game in an Arsenal shirt.

Yes, Jack Wilshere played with remarkable authority at the heart of the team. England need to play Jack football, Fabio - not Capello football.

Yes, of course, CL knock-out ties are a game of four halves.

Arsenal lost the first half 1-0 and won the second half 2-0 and halves three and four will roll round 20 days from now.

Arsenal raised their tempo after half-time and the game turned on 68 when Keita and Arshavin came on.

Keita replaced Villa to stiffen Barca's midfield, which was running out of steam, and allowed young Busquets to go ball-hunting further up the field.

Arshavin’s arrival (for Song) allowed him to link in a cool manner with Clichy, who played a killer ball forward into the box with his right-foot and gave Van Persie a chance to hit a mighty left-foot shot on the half- volley inside the near post of Victor Valdes for 1-1.

Valdes has always had flaky moments. That blunder by allowed Arsenal back into a game that Barcelona were still playing mostly in Arsenal's half.

Still, defending deeper can be good. You can only counter-attack if your opponents are in your half of the field. You can attack too much in a game. If you attack less, you often score more.

Frankly, Fabregas, Eboue and Walcott had been crap.

All three played crap. Only a blinkered, badge-kissing nincompoop would say any of those three played well last night.

Arsenal had nothing on the right flank but now, suddenly, that was where the winning goal came from after a fabulous move.

The cool Koscielny picked up the ball in his penalty area, passed to Bendtner, who passed infield to Wilshere, then quickly forward to Fabregas, who instantly released Nasri with a superb ball down the right flank.

Nasri could have tried the obvious with a low cross to the far post but chose instead to play a lovely pass which allowed Arshavin to curl his sidefoot shot behind Abidal and into the net from 15 yards.

That quality goal gave Arsenal their first victory against Barcelona and it set the seal on the pulsating, rocking, thrilling night that the Emirates has needed since 2006.

Sporting Gijon was a factor last night because game was much harder than the Wolves game was for Arsenal .

After two and half years of staggering success, and intensifying pressure, Barcelona are showing signs of burn-out, so Pep has to husband his resources very carefully.

Coming back off an international break, which is mostly where Barcelona d rop their points, he conceded an early goal at Gijon in a game that was very passionate, intense and physical, since Gijon are fighting for their lives just above the drop-zone.

 I was really enjoying the game but as the second half went on I was thinking : This is taking a lot out of Barcelona !

Indeed, it was a helluva battle that was taking a lot out of both sides.

Just as the commentators began to say that David Villa was about to be taken off, he glided onto a wonder-pass from Messi and chipped the keeper from the edge of the box and it finished 1-1.

Success brings a heavy schedule.

The more games you win, the more the pressure is on you. To handle that you need character and guts. Wilshere and Szczesny have given the team a lot more personality and authority than it had last year.

Big characters, big difference.

As Rufus Thomas said, age ain’t nothin’ but a number.
