法政隨筆 – 幼兒也靜坐 余若薇

上星期日攝氏34 度烈日當空,一群家長與幼兒在立法會門外靜坐,之後遊行到發展商大昌集團總部的香港會所大廈,貼上心意卡,要求與身兼大昌主席的嶺南教育機構主席陳斌對話,商討嶺南遷校事宜,再到政府總部請願。

汗流浹背的示威者明顯是第一次參加這類集會,召集人忘記口號要提場,人群中有外籍傭工幫少主打扇餵水,不少家長是專業人士,也有資深公務員,平日星期天應與孩子到會所喫飯歎茶、逛冷氣mall,為何要在立法會外暴曬,聲嘶力竭地喊口號?

事緣孩子就讀的著名嶺南幼稚園及小學突然在6 月通知家長9 月要搬校,藉口是5月新鴻基高價投得鄰近地皮要發展,恐防殃及校舍,新鴻基澄清未有動工日期,不會影響鄰居;7 月校方改說校舍有僭建物,屋宇署亦澄清沒即時危險,但校方依然堅持明年1 月要搬。家長擔心校方覬覦校舍坐落地皮的發展潛力,砌詞搬校,陳斌看好當區地產發展,有可尋,今年5 月競投鄰近那幅地皮,不過敗於新鴻基。

天下哪有父母不顧子女安全?百年字號嶺南哪有不與家長商量便倉卒搬校?家長多是有知識有辦法人士,只不過要求對話,延後到學期完結才遷校,但扭盡六壬叩盡門都不得要領,最後被迫靜坐。事件令我想起美孚新中產屋苑小業主,要身在推土機下阻止地產商在他們家門前興建屏風樓,地產霸權無處不在。
