KEEPING POLICIES ON RACE & RELIGION UP TO DATE

We need to keep our policies on race and religion up to date, because racial and religious harmony is not just delicate, but also dynamic.

Our values and beliefs as a society shift over time, and each new generation has its own perspective on racial issues.

Meanwhile, the world around us is changing. Singapore is highly exposed to external political developments, and we are influenced by external religious trends too.

Therefore, from time to time, we must adjust our policies on race and religion. But we should adjust based on our own needs, and we should do so with caution. We have to take the time to discuss respectfully, make sure everybody understands, and build a consensus before we make any move.

成年女儿的爸爸早上去世了。她和家人们一同轮替念了八个小时的佛号给爸爸。

晚上七点半，殡葬服务业者出现在疗养院大门口。那是她最害怕的画面要来了。一男一女的殡葬服务人员把高架床推进房内，上面放着一个深栗色的收殓袋。是的，她说这个收殓袋让人觉得可怕。意味着年迈体弱的爸爸已经死去，变成尸体。

戴着口罩的那位女服务员把收殓袋的拉链给打开，转头看着这位女儿，仿佛在问她一句：“Are you ready？（你准备好了吗？）”

她反应不过来。这不是她认识的殡葬业者。都怪以前的经验很不好，这些人不是很凶就是很会骗死人钱。这些经验都让她对殡葬业者有一定的保留。

女服务员的非口语及动作，让她感觉到她失去父亲的那份哀伤有被看见、有被照顾。她没想到这出自于一位殡葬业服务员。

花了一点时间，两位工作人员把爸爸的遗体放入收殓袋，推着高架床，安放在黑车内，离开疗养院。

她和两位工作人员一同坐在黑车内，往殡仪馆的方向驶去。

坐在车内，她看着那深栗色的收殓袋，她心里想着：“爸爸，我还有什么事还没有为你做，你需要我做的话，你要让我知道。”

头脑里当下浮现老家的画面。

能不能请工作人员载我爸爸去我们老家一趟呢？她心里如此作想。

她斗胆的问了一句，冒着被骂的风险：“请你看看这个地址，会不会靠近殡仪馆？”

男性殡葬礼仪服务员对她说：“这个地方离我们殡仪馆很靠近。”

“这样的话，能不能够载我的爸爸回家一趟？”

“行。”二话不说，改变跑道，女服务员把黑车往她的老家开去。

晚上八点，天已黑，只剩下街灯的光。黑车，抵达老家的大门。

她成功让她的爸爸回老家一趟。这是爸爸一生居住的地方，这里有所有爸爸和她的往事。她想让爸爸“回家”一趟，至少让爸爸知道她终于带他回家。

她万万没想到，殡葬服务人员还把车后门给打开，意味着让这位老人家“看一看“自己的家。

她没想到他们居然可以如此细腻，不只照顾活着的人的需求，并且也在照顾死去的人的需求。

夜晚，很宁静。能把爸爸带回老家“看一看”，心里更见安定。带着口罩的三个人，站在哪儿安静片刻。

这份宁静让她心也安定下来。她说，嗯，我们可以走了。两位服务人员继续开车，往殡仪馆去。

这位失去爸爸的成年女儿一面透过 zoom的视频说给我听，我心里一面激动。

她托我说：“以量，请你一定要代我谢谢他们。”

很动容的我拼命点头。得到她的允许，我把这暖心的故事记录下来。

今晚，她也给了我一则电邮，她是这样写着的：

“Hi Yee Leong,

To add to your note of appreciation, I would like to share the following words with Charles and Kenzie (the mortician).

What does it mean to be human?

In solemnity, a deep sense of respect is honored. He stood by the dead body, attentive, very little words, ready to do whatever he could. Chest up, shirt tuck-in, ready to dignify the process.

The mortician had her ponytail tied-up, drove the van, had the maroon velvet bodybag, ready to get to work. The loss of a physical body now turns into a process of dignity. This is humanity. This is being human.

Thank you Charles. Thank you Kenzie. There is kindness impossible to repay.

Respectfully,
daughter of SKN”

***

你知道吗？有一群默默无闻的殡葬人员，在严峻的疫情底下，一直默默在为亡者以及其家属提供服务。

虽然他们常觉得他们的服务不足挂齿，可是，我很多时候都会被他们的态度而动容。就是多那么一点点的“不介意”，就能让正在伤痛的家属一辈子都不会忘记的温暖经验。

这故事，听了，我很感动。我连忙把文章写下来，就是为了要记录这份感动。谢谢这位女性的允许，让我写下来。

将一切功德回响给这位女性的已故父亲 SKN、所有正在受苦受难、即将临终的人们以及其家属，以及所有的前线人员、医疗人员、殡葬人员等。

祝福故事裡的所有的人物，祝福大家、祝福自己。
