日前特首梁振英在網誌提議可在中環一帶建泳棚及釣魚區,讓上班族在午飯時間游20分鐘水或釣魚,被網民狠批「離地」。英國廣播公司(BBC)亦有報道此事,形容梁振英的建議「遇到一些人嘲弄」。
梁振英在周二(8日) 發表網誌建議在中環IFC一帶建泳棚、釣魚區,讓上班族吃午飯後游泳20分鐘或釣魚45分鐘。BBC報道以「Hong Kong leader suggest workers "swim in harbour"」為題,引述《虎報》及《南華早報》,質疑維港水質污染嚴重,水質或含大腸桿菌、沙門氏菌等,是否適合游泳。另外,有救生員指,午飯後不宜游泳,否則會損傷腸胃機能。
報道又指,有釣魚專家指,由於噪音及熱力的問題,魚是不會在午飯時間上釣,更重要的是午飯根本不夠時間釣魚,「當你只得45分鐘,在開始之前你就要準備收拾用具」。報道又引述立法會議員李卓人的話,質疑「他(梁振英)是否知道上班族要排多久才能買到午餐?」
最後報道引述一項民意調查,指有56%的上班族最希望在午飯時間進行的休閒活動是shopping。
However, it appears that Mr Leung's ideas have not been met with enthusiasm. Victoria Harbour's waters are so polluted it could take up to 20 years to make them safe for swimming, with anyone brave enough to take a lunchtime dip would be facing E. coli and salmonella, The Standard says. And it's not just the state of the water that's causing concern: One lifeguard told the South China Morning Post that "everybody knows you should not swim after lunch".
Anglers didn't seem to be taking the bait either. One bait shop owner said that fish don't tend to bite at that time of day due to the heat and noise, and noted that "if all you have is 45 minutes, you are almost ready to pack up before you start."
It's the lack of time to do anything in your lunch hour that struck Legislative Council member Lee Cheuk-yan. "Does he know how long workers have to queue for a meal?" he asked.
