「我離港前到過一間精神科醫院。當時有位病人禮貌地問,一個以作為世上最悠久民主政體而自傲的國家,如何能夠將此地交給一個政治制度非常不同的國家,且既沒諮詢當地公民,又沒給予他們民主的前景,好讓他們捍衞自己的將來。一個隨行同事說,奇怪,香港提出最理智問題的人,竟在精神科醫院。」彭定康 金融時報

“During a visit to a mental hospital before I left Hong Kong, a patient politely asked me how a country that prided itself on being the oldest democracy in the world had come to be handing over his city to another country with a very different system of government, without either consulting the citizens or giving them the prospect of democracy to safeguard their future. Strange, said one of my aides, that the man with the sanest question in Hong Kong is in a mental hospital.”Chris Patten Financial Times

當『陳德霖』由『名字』變成《動辭》和《形容辭》!

當『陳德霖』由『名字』變成《動辭》和《形容辭》!



任志剛正式官方退任是九月卅日,向香港各界告別。而十月一日剛巧是國慶日,金管局依例放假一天,陳德霖正式返金管局要延遲一天到十月二日。因為十月一日,全港各界需要慶祝國慶,未能第一時間慶祝新總裁“陳總”的到任金管局上班。


當初知道有位陳德霖先生,他在金管局工作,2005年突然辭職不幹,轉而協助曾蔭權參與補選特首,出任競選辦公室秘書長。補選工作完結後,2005年12月陳德霖加入渣打銀行任職亞洲區副總裁,期間參與成立民間智庫~智經研究中心。2007年陳德霖並無再參與曾蔭權的連任選舉,但卻放棄渣打銀行亞洲區副主席高薪厚職,跟著就被延攬成為特首辦主任。這個『陳德霖』是個名字,即是名詞。


不過經歷過金管局總裁的遴選過程,財政司曾俊華自從去年 8月委任馮國經、張建東及龐約翰組成遴選小組,開展遴選接任人選的工作,去年底完成,先後考慮過 39人,到最後建議8個人選,陳德霖名列榜首。公務員事務局長俞宗怡未有被提及參與遴選。


遴選小組最後建議的 8人名單,曾俊華於公報日說了,其他7人根本不知道自己曾經榜上有名,也就是說,曾俊華根本未做過進一步甄別的程序,顯示他的心目中只有陳德霖。


經此一役,這『陳德霖』三個字名詞 ,以後可以是一個《動辭》。當某人想安插自己友入公司做,只要說唔該《陳德霖》佢喇,HR就識得做嘢!連 E+起碼都會出份 Ads,再叫自己友遞信,做做啲門面功夫,讓 HR有返啲面,都可以減省去。


但又可以是個《形容辭》,佢好《陳德霖》呀! 泛指自己本身沒有實力,依靠有力人士安插入公司工作的黃馬褂之輩。


【維基百科】陳德霖中學畢業於皇仁書院,後於香港中文大學社會學系畢業,並於1976年加入香港政府政務主任職系,於1991年被委任為香港外匯基金管理局副局長。他於1993年成為香港金融管理局的助理總裁,並於1996年晉升為副總裁。2005年12月,他改任渣打銀行亞洲區副主席。2007年7月起,他獲委任為香港行政長官辦公室主任。政府在2009年7月17日下午五時,由財政司司長曾俊華公布,原特首辦主任陳德霖接替任志剛,出任金管局總裁一職,年薪600萬港元,比任志剛低百分之三十二。


【政府新聞稿】曾俊華說:遴選小組去年底列出39名人選,包括來自金管局、監管機構、銀行界、學術界及政府官員,最後選出8人名單,以陳德霖為首選。今年5月,他向陳德霖發出口頭邀請,聘任他為金管局總裁,7月10日正式發出聘書,對方當天回覆。

他強調,調低金管局總裁薪酬,並不涉及政治考慮,薪酬水平是按照外匯基金委員會轄下的管治委員會建議而作出的決定。

陳德霖對獲得委任感到榮幸。他表示,香港正面對百年一遇的金融海嘯,任內充滿挑戰,上任後的首要任務,是維持本港貨幣及銀行體系穩定,保證信貸市場運作正常,妥善管理外匯基金,提升香港競爭力,致力推廣及深化本港的人民幣業務。



而我則認為以後若有任何雷同的事件, 我們可以冠名為『陳德霖現象 Norman Chan Phenomenon/Phenomena』,流傳於後世,千百年之後在:香港歷史,中國歷史,世界歷史,流芳百世!“陳德霖”三個字,由 ”名字“ 變成 ”動辭“”形容辭“


後記:
【明報專訊】 金管局新任總裁陳德霖今早首日上班,他表示很高興重返金管局,又提出四大工作目標,並強調會與傳媒合作。

陳德霖在早上八時踏入金管局大樓。他表示,他接手金管局總裁的工作,正值全球經濟存仍在不少不明朗的因素,這對金融局是一大挑戰。

他為自己定下了以下的目標:

一、維持聯繫匯價穩定;

二、維持香港銀行體系穩定和有效運作;

三、繼續審慎妥善地管理外匯儲備基金;

四、提升香港作為國際金融中心的地位和競爭力,尤其深化人民幣業務的發展。

另一方面,他表示會加強與傳媒的合作和溝通,以增加市民對金融管工作的了解。



陳德霖首日上班,發表的四個目標,祇是蕭規曹隨,沒有任何新意,令到在金融大海嘯之後,復蘇無期之際,突然換了金管局之頭頭~“總裁之位”,是為了安撫陳德霖而設。對香港金融界而言:發展金融業,
監管金融業,扶持金融業,有何正面效果呢?再者,對香港市民而言:一位四年內轉了五份工的”陳德霖“,又能有何祈望呢?


我祇見到,庫房少支出僅僅幾百萬的年薪罷了!
That's peanuts for Hong Kong!

You have Norman Chan in Hong Kong; we have Sarah Palin in the U.S :-)

the inner space said...

Exile, welcome in again and thank you for your comment.

Mrs. Sarah Palin ex-governor of alaska. 我祇知她辭了阿拉斯加州州長職位,原來她也有相似的 “Palin 現象”,最近我們蛇竇的同事,多討論 Pres.Obama 先生。

Exile,他的 Health Care Reform 最重要的 public option 看來要墮馬了,但他卻走了去丹麥,為芝加哥申奧作最後努力。閣下是 Obama 的擁躉粉絲,很想聽聽你的感想。

希望你能不嫌棄,我這處人流不多,發表一下,先謝過了!

I can't tell you how disappointed I am when they voted no on public
option. I am just a citizen who selfishly tries to get what I (many others) need.
Without public option, it is impossible to drive cost down. Too much is at stake, too many lobbyists are working hard to keep things as is. From what I understand, correct me if I am wrong, it is the public option inside the Baucus Bill that went bust. It is not completely 100% dead yet. Pres. Obama still has the power to add public option if he means what he said. But of course things never stay the same in Washington. Does he want to piss off the Republicans, probably not. I am holding my breath. I think he has the political will but does he have the political power. I am not sure. I am still his biggest fan. I don't know why some people make a big deal of him going to Denmark. Hey, it only
took one day out of his busy schedule. I suppose he is smart enough to do more than one thing at a time. I have not seen any President work harder
than he does. He is on top of everything. Will he make compromises with health care reform. I bet he will. He has to. Democrats are weak, always have been. They don't have the big money behind them. The problem we have in the U.S is that there are only two parties. They fortunately and unfortunately "work together". Citizens don't have much choice. It is still a good system in which citizens are well-trained to believe that we have a voice. But really, do we? By the way, I really enjoy your poems even though I don't really know what they mean :-) Thank you for allowing
me to vent.

不讚成你"發明"的什麼"陳德霖"動詞、形容詞,
這實在是扣人家帽子的做法,
他才上班一天就下定論?
這樣實在太唔公平了!

財政司是有權揀自己喜歡的人的,
根本無需搞什麼"公開競投",
那是多此一舉的,
至於適唔適合就要放出雙眼睇了!

Ruth Tam said...

一位四年內轉了五份工的”陳德霖“,又能有何祈望呢?Exactly, what can we expect.

Hyacinthus said...

”陳德霖“,又能有何祈望呢?
對陳,從來都沒曾有過祈望!!!
反而很期待退下來的任總新動向 ...

Exile, thank you for your input and your first hand insight of the whole matter.

可惜 Obama 丹麥之行,沒有為芝加哥贏的2016年的主辦權,第一位被 foul 出局,令到芝加哥背負 over a hundred million 的籌奧開支,並成為反對派的攻擊話柄。

我個人傾向成立 public option 這個意念,但沒具體資料關于財政和監管,成為反對者的口實。希望早日能夠成事,議員們應為沒有醫療保險的幾千萬美國人福祉為重,但看來受到醫療保險商出得起錢,請來的說客左右了決定。

同時有了競爭亦可以讓現時有能力負擔醫療保險的一群,有議價力量向牟利的醫療保險機構,要求降低保費到合理水平,並增加保險範圍。這個本是硬道理,為何那麼多美國人反而反對 public option 呢?

Happy MAF it is still Saturday in the states.

p.s.我關心美國醫療保險,是因為有頗多親戚散居美國全國,兼且一班美籍(包括華裔)同事,時常在蛇竇討論。

新鮮兄:歡迎到訪留言,多謝你的意見和觀點。

『陳德霖現象 Norman Chan Phenomenon/
Phenomena』。。。。。“陳德霖”三個字,
由 ”名字“ 變成 ”動辭“ 和 ”形容辭“ !

以上文字是批評剛剛病愈出院的曾俊華,不過因為當事人是陳德霖,所以得了冠名權罷了。以前已經談過遴選程序,不贅!至于有沒有犯了“扣帽子”之嫌呢?我這篇不是純新聞報導,不用保持中立 neutral,我祇是表達有我個人觀點。你的觀點雖然不同亦得到尊重。

香港經歷金融大海嘯,復蘇無期,陣前易帥,犯了兵家大忌,曾司長幫助曾特首換人,作為政治籌傭,值得討論。美國的奧巴馬上臺,也沒有把布殊仔委任的伯南克,於剛巧換屆時送走,他讓伯南克繼續領導推行,已經實行的行動,政策是需要貫切實行,換了人多少都有影響。

國際金融大鱷,時時刻刻,視機而動,見到人事變動,若又攪出一波破壞,不無可能,非港人之福。曾司長的行動,冒了香港人險,陳德霖第一天正式上班,股市恒指跌了近六百點,當然有外圍因素,不過也包括暫時結數離場的機構散戶投資者,避一避風頭。

至於陳德霖有無能力,駕馭金管局,抗衡金融大鱷,對! 就讓我們拭目以待罷。

再一次多謝兄臺的捧場,謹祝中秋節追月快樂!

Ruth 姐:Welcome in and thank you for your comment.

一位四年做了四份工,還想轉新工的人,平常的雇主,一般的 HR,見到咁嘅 CV resume,都會皺眉頭。 不過陳德霖既然已經上任,唯有祈望平平安安渡過囉!

謹祝中秋節追月快樂!

the inner space said...

風子:先祝你追月快樂,歡迎光臨多謝留言。
祈望陳德霖:不要勇于表現,切勿急于求成,樹立個人威信,確立個人功績,冒險急進。
暫時keep 著他自己說的四個目標,任規陳隨,總好過冒進。

至於任志剛,祝他退下來生活愉快,如他所說,他的後路,應是繼續利用他的專長,服務國家。

Exile from HK, your Idol Pres Obama won this year's Nobel Peace Prize.

exile from hk said...

Below was what Pres. Obama said when he heard the news. He is so gracious and incredibly smart. You see why I voted for him :-) Argh...but the pressure is on!

In Pres. Obama's case, they are hoping that he will do more good deeds to the world while he is in power. I think it is more an encouragement than a reward. Now he knows he has to earn it and to prove himself! For people who say it is too fast too soon. They are right. I understand their criticism too.

Here is Pres. Obama's reaction and I am so proud of him.

"Obama said he was surprised and deeply humbled by the honor, and planned to travel to Oslo to accept the prize, which he said he does not see "as a recognition of my own accomplishments," but rather as a recognition of goals he has set for the United States and the world."

exile from hk said...

P.S

Obama is only the fourth U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and the third one to be given the prize while still in office. Jimmy Carter received the award in 2002 for his "decades of untiring efforts" toward peaceful solutions in conflicts around the globe.

Woodrow Wilson, who was president from 1913 to 1921, won the prize in 1919 for developing a 14-point plan for worldwide peace talks.

Theodore Roosevelt, who was in the White House from 1901-1909, won the award in 1906 for his role in mediating a bloody dispute between Russia and Japan that resulted in the Treaty of Portsmouth.

Exile, thanks for your information.

In case you were not familiar with the The Russo-Japanese War (Japanese: 日露戦争; Romaji: Nichi-Ro Sensō; Russian: Русско-японская война Russko-Yaponskaya Voyna; simplified Chinese: 日俄战争; traditional Chinese: 日俄戰爭; 10 February 1904 – 5 September 1905) .

During the war, battles were fought over Chinese Soil and the Yellow Sea of China. The two nations were fighting against each other for the benefit and privilege within China (Qing Dynasty).

History said over 200 thousand chinese civilians died and chinese cities,villages,properties,farmland were destroyed during the WAR.
