照片中左边的女孩是盈盈，今年读中一
右边的女孩是薇薇，今年读小四
盈盈和薇薇是两个乖巧的女孩儿
3年前，突然搬去碧山那边了
可是依然坐地铁来上课
3年来，再没见她们的父亲送她们来上课
原来，她们的家已经天翻地覆！

直到在孩子们写给被地铁碾断腿的泰国女孩儿的慰问信中
盈盈写道：
“素不相识的朋友：
你失去了双腿，可是你还在微笑。
你的笑容鼓舞了我的父亲，他像你一样不能走路。
我请求父亲要坚强地活下去！你也要！
谢谢你，给我们力量！”

三年了，才知道真相！才知道发生在她们身上的事。
两个安静乖巧的孩子，在忍受怎样的煎熬？
读着盈盈的作文，难过得不能自已！

前一周的作文题是《折翼天使》
盈盈笔下虚构的小美，仿佛是她自己的影子－－

“医生为小美的爸爸做了手术后，告诉我们小美的爸爸伤了他的脖子，从脖子往下无法活动，从此得靠机器维生。

那是三年前的事。小美看起来没有受太大的打击，人们以为她一定不是太伤心。可是昨天，小美告诉我，医生要把她的爸爸维生的机器关掉。她说，一直以来她都在伤心，可是一直不敢说出来。她走之前还告诉我，她一定不会让医生拆散她们父女！

一天之后，她突如其来地跳楼了......

小美，为什么你不肯把心里伤心的事说出来？一直把伤痛藏在心里！
你这样把伤痛埋在心里，是在慢慢地把自己的翅膀折断！”

读着盈盈的这些文字，心痛......

不知道她们的父亲的这场官司能否获得赔偿，但每天的生活要继续
我已经申请免掉她们的学费。
每周用文字陪伴她们、鼓励她们，直到她们毕业，直到她们坚强地长大

The girl depicted on the left of the picture, is YINGYING. She currently studies secondary one.

The one on the right is WEIWEI. She’s in her fourth grade.

Here are two adorable girls, perhaps even mildly precocious.

Three years ago, they moved to Bishan, but they still take the MRT to school. These three years, these gauche, merciless three years, their father, who so many an occasion held their hands warmly on their trip to school, was never seen on this routine.

Their family, was madly spun upside-down… the dawn of an era of misery for the meager family.

Penning down a letter to a Thai friend, whose leg gotcrushed under the wrath of a train, said YINGYING,

“My friend whom I know not of!

Your legs parted with your soul,

yet your smile did not.

It inspires my father; he, like you, cannot walk like a stag does.

I pray fervently for him to live, to be a strong man.

So do I for you.

You have to continue on a strong life.

I thank you, for giving us the energy,

the fuel of the soul.”

Alas! Three years, before they grasp the truth! The woeful predicament that struck them! Women of demurity! How shall they endurethe torture? As I pass my eyes over YINGYING’s writing, the flame of indignity overwhelms my heart!

The topic for Essay the previous week was “The Angel with the Broken Wing”. Xiaomei, the ghostly avatar that came from the womb of YINGYING’s pen, is not unlike the latter’s very silhouette…

“The doctor did the surgery for Xiaomei’s father. He said, that the man had a severed neck. Neck movement was out of question, and his source of life, is a cold metallic life support system…”

“That was three years ago. Xiaomei never showed a hintof despair, which sadly gave others the impression that she was unaffected by her father’s fate. Alas, she told me yesterday, that the doctor will turn thelife support off. She said she was wrecked all along, but she never talked. “He’s not taking us apart,” was the last bitter words she spat to me, before she left.

“The next day, she threw her body down a tower.”

“Alas! Xiaomei, my soul sister! Why had you spoke not of the agony that ravages your soul? Why had you concealed the darkness within your heart? Your bottle of emotions, corrodes and breaks your snow-white wings!”

The pain, reading YINGYING’s words, her scars that she sketched on the piece of papyrus…

Whether their lawsuit was a success, I know not of. But life continues with the days, with it or without. I petitioned for the waiver of their school fees, and use the feeble power of ink and paper to take their hands, to tell them, they are not alone. Certainly I shan’t cease, untilI see them graduated, until I see them grown up, strong, as their father always was.

Man being Paralysed by Fall, Causing Family Dire Consequences
SOURCE: The Straits Times, AsiaOne

Sembawang resident Aw Kian Chow was walking back to his flat in Block 415, Sembawang Drive on a wet evening in August 2008 when he took a tumble on a sloping ramp near his block.

He fractured his spine and became paralysed from the neck down.

Now, three years down the road, the 46-year-old father of two young children isstill bedridden and cannot speak; he also needs life support equipment, regularhospital care and caregivers to turn him on his bed every three hours to drainout mucus and other fluids.

His condition has thus precluded all prospects of holding down a job, and madehis wife, a bank officer in her 30s, the family’s sole breadwinner.

The family has since moved out of the five-room flat in Sembawang into a smaller flat elsewhere so the family can meet his ongoing, hefty medical bills.

我国首例告市镇会索赔会计师斜道滑倒瘫痪

（新加坡）联合晚报 (2011-08-10)

　　郑迦馨　管倩莹联合报道

　　雨天在组屋楼下的斜道跌倒瘫痪，会计师3年来无法说话，长卧在床，妻子入禀高庭告市镇会疏忽，索赔数额最少25万。

　　这相信是本地首起居民告市镇会的官司，将成为判例，以决定当居民在组屋区内受伤时，市镇会须承担多少责任。

　　事情发生在08年8月26日一个雨天傍晚5时40分，54岁的胡建照走回三巴旺通道第415座的五房式住家时，在靠近住家的一个斜道上滑倒，脊椎骨折，导致颈部以下瘫痪。

　　事隔3年，他还是无法说话，长期需要医疗器材辅助、定期护理、每隔3小时帮他翻身抽痰和其他液体。

　　他和妻子曾桂枝（42岁，银行职员）育有两名年幼孩子，为了支付昂贵的医疗开销，他们已搬离三巴旺组屋，搬到顺福路较小间的组屋。

　　他的妻子已经以他的名义入禀高庭，向市镇会索赔，包括医药费、失去的未来收入费、交通费和所承受的痛苦和损失。

　　索偿数额不详，但高庭处理的索赔案，索偿额最少25万元。

　　根据诉状，起诉人指市镇会没有维持走道的安全，斜道才会滑溜。记者今早联络上胡太太，得知事发前她丈夫是名业余会计师。

　　“当时他和朋友喝咖啡后回家，没想到却在走道上跌倒，伤得这么严重。”

　　妻：跌一下竟酿悲剧

　　妻子电话中哽咽：“我无法相信，跌一下竟变成悲剧。”

　　起诉人的妻子在电话中受访时一度哽咽说，由于丈夫是业余会计师，不属于任何公司，所以没有保险赔偿。

　　“我们本来想安排他住疗养院，可是每个月要6000元，我的薪水根本无法应付，还有两个女儿要照顾，真的很辛苦。”

　　她也表示，事发后找过议员和市镇会，市镇会只肯赔1000元，不过她没有接受，思想前后，才决定通过法律途径索赔。

　　没铺防滑物

　　市镇会被指疏忽

　　市镇会被指疏忽，没有在斜道上铺防滑物或油漆，避免跌倒或滑倒。

　　诉方指出，在市镇理事会法令下，市镇会有责任维修有盖走道等，确保它干净整洁。

　　目前要争辩的是，市镇会是否有责任并已尽其所能防止意外发生。诉方指事发时有盖走道和两边的扶手因下雨变湿。

　　诉方指出，第415座、415A座和419座的走道是他每天必经之处。在第415A和419座中间有3米宽、20米长的斜道，高度离地面1.5至2米。

　　‘为何不使用扶手’

　　律师反指起诉人疏忽

　　市镇会表示事发时雇承包商管理组屋区，认为管理得当。

　　代表市镇会的是阿索康律师。答辩书反指起诉人疏忽，明知道或应该知道斜道湿滑，却没有使用设在两旁的扶手，也没有走靠近扶手。

　　律师受询时表示，市镇会同情起诉人的情况，可是它不能因为一个人在雨天滑倒而负责。
会计师告市镇会，他一跌不起住医院378天，永远要靠呼吸器活命，多次哀求妻子：“让我走”，妻子却说：“我们靠你活下去。”

昨日《联合晚报》报道，三年前胡建照（54岁）雨天时在组屋楼下斜道跌倒瘫痪，妻代夫入禀高庭告市镇会疏忽，成为本地首起居民告市镇会的官司。

妻子曾桂枝（42岁，银行职员）说，当初跌倒后，医生指丈夫跌断的脊椎骨，压断所有神经线，变成永久性瘫痪。

从此，丈夫的性命跟检查血压、心跳和氧气指数的仪器连接一起，只要丈夫一有不妥，仪器就会大响，所以需要24小时照顾他。

她说，丈夫出院回家后，那段日子最难熬，因经验不足，每逢仪器大响就会六神无主，含泪度日。

她指丈夫靠氧气输送器呼吸，但如果身体太差吸不到气，就需靠人手按压氧气袋，直接把氧气送入他的喉部。

与妻靠唇语沟通。完整报道，请翻阅11.08.2011《联合晚报》。
