【新唐人2013年04月24日讯】过去每逢内地有天灾，香港人总是义不容辞的大笔捐钱；但这次雅安7级地震之后，香港市民的反应却与过去有所不同。最近，香港政府建议拨款一亿赈灾，引来社会的议论，外界担心，在慷慨解囊的同时，这份爱心真的有送到灾民的手中吗？
四川地震灾情惨重，海峡两岸艺人纷纷伸出援手。香港影星郭富城，透过个人慈善基金捐出30万港币，并委请联合国儿童基金会处理。
郭富城为灾民祈福时表示，希望“大家有能力的尽力，以正确途径做出金钱及物资的支援。”
根据“英国广播公司”《BBC》报导，4月22号，香港行政长官梁振英，向立法会财务委员会申请拨款1亿港元赈灾（约7961万元人民币）。然而一些香港民众与立法会议员，对港府动用公帑捐款有所保留，甚至呼吁抵制民间捐款。
香港《有线电视》中国组记者林建诚表示，“雅安地震，不要指望我捐一个仙；所有涉及大陆政府部门的，绝不会！”
香港资深传媒人潘小涛表示，“往后找机会直接捐给灾民、或者找一个可信任及熟悉的民间机构捐款，千万不要经官方之手。”
为何港人的热情不再﹖香港《开放》杂志编辑蔡咏梅分析，应归咎于中共体制的腐败，因为当年汶川捐款遭滥用，贪污丑闻不断，令港人失去信心。
香港《开放》杂志编辑蔡咏梅：“汶川地震发生后，中共官方的表现不断的有赈灾款被贪污，然后中国红十字会又爆出郭美美事件，因此整个对中共官方的信任完全破灭。90％以上都挪到行政费用去了，就是贪官里面去了，以前汶川地震灾区，现在大家都看到了，一整个富丽堂皇。连县级官员的办公室都是几十平方米，很豪华，还建官员的宿舍等等。”
据报导，2008年汶川地震中遇难师生有5781人，其中超过一半被倒塌的豆腐渣校舍压死，单是“绵阳市北川中学”，就有1300多名学生遇难。然而，至今仍然没有一个官员就豆腐渣工程问责。这些学生的家长5年来屡次进京上访，都被抓走遣送回乡。
美国“民主大学”校长唐柏桥：“这次雅安地震，中共还下文件，说外面那些去赈灾的各种民间团队，不能自己把物资送到灾民手上，要从政府统一管理。听说汶川的县委书记，一个人就贪污了三亿，那么发生这些事情，我们当然有充分的权利，去抵制这种事情，我们当然有充分的资格，谴责中共当局的腐败行为。”
据了解，2008年汶川地震后的重建，当地建成启用才2年的小学，为了给富豪商厦让地，整栋拆卸；地方政府利用善款，兴建超豪华办公大楼；多名贪官落马，涉及善款往往上千万。
唐柏桥：“所以我们这些人在海外，有这个条件，有这个机会把真相说出去，鼓励民众看到以后，了解真相，然后采取正确的行为。”
美国“民主大学”校长唐柏桥还表示，共产党号称所谓的“伟光正”，说他们是先进的代表，那么现在救灾正需要捐款的时候，共产党员到哪里去了？
唐柏桥：“如果那些太子党捐出万分之一的财产，那可能就会让灾区民间马上明天就过上小康生活，中国的共产党所谓号称的八千万党员，每个人捐一百块钱，就有80个亿。”
有网友表示：中国天灾人祸时，中国人捐得最少，台湾与香港捐最多。那是因为中国民众最清楚钱最后会到哪里去吧！
另外，在“脸书”上转载了一首对中共官员的顺口溜，内容是这样写的：你们一年吃喝达万亿，一受灾，就要民捐款。你们一年外逃几千亿，一受灾，就要民捐款。你们一年开会达上亿，一受灾，就要民捐款。你们一年维稳几千亿，一受灾，就要民捐款。你们一年浪费上万亿，一受灾，就要民捐款。

Hong Kong Boycotts Donation for Ya’an Earthquake
Over decades, when disasters hit mainland China,
Hong Kong people would make generous donations.
However, for the Ya’an earthquake,
Hong Kong citizens have reacted differently.
The Hong Kong government recently proposed to
donate public funds of HK$ 100 million for disaster relief.
This has ignited controversy.
The public is asking, will their donations really
go into the hands of the quake victims?
Chinese art performers have joined the ranks of donation
for the victims of the Ya’an 7 magnitude earthquake.
One of them was Hong Kong actor Aaron Kwok.
He has donated 300,000 Hong Kong dollars
via his personal charity foundation.
He has entrusted the UN Children’s Fund with
the donated money.
In a prayer for the quake victims,
Aaron Kwok has called on the public
“to contribute one’s own effort in a correct way,
by donating money or materials.”
The BBC reported that on April 22,
Leung Chun-ying, Hong Kong Chief Executive,
has sought a legislative approval on allocation of funds
of HK$ 100 million (about 79 million yuan) for disaster relief.
Yet, some Hong Kong citizens and legislative councilors
hold different views on it.
They have even called for a boycott of private donations.
(Reporter, Cable TV Hong Kong) Lam Kin-Seng:
“Don’t expect me to donate a cent for the Ya’an quake.
To all the mainland official-related organizations,
I donate nothing.”
(Hong Kong media veteran) Poon Siu To: “I will
seek a chance to give my donations to the victims
face to face or via a reliable non-official organization.
Never send your donations via the authorities.”
Why aren’t Hong Kong people warmhearted?
Tsai Yung-Mei, editor of Hong Kong’s Open magazine,
attributes it to the CCP’s corrupt system.
She says that CCP authorities have lost
Hong Kong people’s trust
owing to their abuse of donations for the Wenchuan
earthquake and the continuous corruption scandals.
Tsai Yung-Mei: “After the Wenchuan earthquake,
there have continuous exposures on the embezzling
of the donated money.
And then a scandal of Guo Meimei under
the Red Cross Society of China was unveiled.
This has resulted in the public’s complete distrust of
CCP authorities.
90% of the donated money had been paid
into funds for administrative costs.
meaning, that money has gone into
corrupt officials’ pockets.
Now, on the previous quake-hit areas in Wenchuan,
palatial buildings can be seen.
Even a county-level official’s office is
dozens of square meters, very luxurious.
They have even built dormitories for the officials.”
Reportedly, 5,781 students and teachers were killed
in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake.
Over half of them were crushed by the collapsed
jerry-built school buildings.
In Mianyang Beichuan Middle School alone,
over 1,300 students lost their lives.
However, not one official has been investigated for
Responsibility for the inferior quality of school buildings.
Over the past five years, these victim students’ parents
have petitioned in Beijing,
all of these people have been intercepted and
sent back to their hometown.
(President, Democracy Academy of China) Tang Baiqiao:
“For the Ya’an earthquake, the CCP also issued an order.
This order bans civil society rescue groups from
sending donations to the victims.
Instead, they are told that they should give donations
to the authorities to administrate distribution.
I heard that a county Party chief in Wenchuan
had embezzled 300 million yuan himself.
We certainly have rights to condemn such corruption
by the CCP authorities.”
Media reported that two years after the 2008 earthquake,
a rebuilt primary school building in Wenchuan was
demolished, to make way for a local commercial project.
The Wenchuan authorities lavished the donated money
on the building of ultra-luxury office buildings.
Several officials were removed for embezzlement of
over tens of millions of yuan each.
Tang Baiqiao: “Living overseas,
we have the conditions for spreading the truth.
That helps people to learn and to take the correct action.”
Tang Baiqiao adds that over the years,
the CCP has promoted its glorious image.
Now it is in need of a donation of money,
where are those CCP members ?, he asks.
Tang Baiqiao: “If those CCP princelings can donate
one ten-thousandth of their assets,
the quake victims would lead a well-off life right away.
If the so-called “80 million” CCP members can each
donate 100 yuan, that would be 8 billion yuan.”
A netizen posted, “When China suffers natural and
man-made disasters,
most of the donations are from Taiwan and Hong Kong,
the fewest are from mainlanders.
That is because the mainlanders know perfectly well
where the money will finally go.”
A jingle has widely circulated in Facebook.
It says, “Each year, you spend a trillion yuan on banquets.
when hit by a disaster, you ask the masses to donate.
Each year, you transfer hundreds of billion yuan overseas,
when hit by a disaster, you ask the masses to donate.
Each year, you spend hundreds of million yuan on meetings,
once hit by a disaster, you ask the masses to donate.
Each year, you spend hundreds of billions of yuan
to maintain stability, once hit by a disaster, you ask the masses to donate.
Each year, you squander trillions of yuan,
once hit by a disaster, you ask the masses to donate.”
