【新唐人2012年1月28日訊】農曆新年的韓國，因為總統李明博外孫女身上的一件名牌羽絨服，而掀起輿論大波。儘管李明博遭到韓國民眾的批評，但大陸的評論人士認為，這一事件反映出韓國是一個真正的民主國家，中共應該向韓國學習，讓民眾和輿論參與監督官員。
今年農曆新年休假期間，李明博孫女穿的羽絨服成了網路搜索熱詞。據韓國《朝鮮日報》消息，休假第一天，21號，李明博夫婦帶著外孫女一起前往傳統市場。外孫女身上穿的白色羽絨服引起了外界注意。
一家媒體的網路版報導認為，這件法國名牌「蒙克里爾」羽絨服，成人版價格為300萬韓元，約合人民幣1萬6千多元。
隨後，韓國的政界人士加入批評李明博的行列。民主統合黨院內發言人金裕貞通過書面表示：李明博給平民帶來了無法抹去的創傷。
中國社會問題研究人士宋書元表示，這件事在韓國引發熱烈議論，正說明在一個民主國家，國民對政府有監督的權力。
中國社會問題研究人士 宋書元：「這件事本身重要不重要，影響不影響他（李明博）仕途，當然要看調查的結果。但本身一個是體現民意，民眾參與和使用權力，包括輿論監督，這個是非常好的。民主國家體現就體現在這方面了。」
「復旦大學國際問題研究學院——韓國朝鮮研究中心」副主任蔡建教授表示，韓國的幾任總統都在制度上強調反腐敗。
蔡建：「（韓國）從制度建設上做了很多工作，規定了模仿西方的公務員的財產申報制度，強制申報。不像中國，有這麼多的灰色收入，監管不到的地方。我們國家在治理腐敗的問題上，可能需要向韓國學習的。」
因為外孫女的一件羽絨服而給自己帶來政治危機，恐怕是李明博始料不及的。香港《東方日報》報導，反觀中國權貴階層，戴名錶、駕名車、穿名牌，比比皆是，但有多少個被反貪部門咬著不放的呢？
大陸網友「花果山總書記」曾曝光中共官員戴名錶，其中鐵道部部長盛祖光戴價值7萬多的勞力士錶，而一名財政廳廳長，戴了一只歐米伽鑲鑽表，價值估計在20萬以上。此外，鐵道部副部長陸東福、衞生部副部長尹力、科技部副部長張來武等，他們全都戴價值四萬元以上的名錶。網友質疑，這些官員的收入與消費並不相等。但最後，沒有一名官員被查處。
宋書元指出，民眾要求中共官員財產收入公開，已經是多年沒有解決的問題。
中國社會問題研究人士 宋書元：「說明這樣一個制度，它們保證的不是老百姓的權力，而是保證掩蓋貪腐的罪惡。李明博這樣一件事，就變為熱議點，中國的熱議點幾乎天天都有，又怎麼樣呢？所以中國最終的問題是體制問題。」
蔡建還表示，根據李明博的身家，他也完全買的起這件羽絨服。
據報導，李明博當總統前就是韓國企業界的傳奇，他被譽為「工薪族的神話」。據了解，他通過20多年的摸爬滾打，目前現有的財產超過了330億韓元，約合人民幣2.7億元。

South Korean president criticized as granddaughter wears
famous brand
During the Lunar New Year in South Korea there was a large
wave of public opinion about President Lee Myung-bak’s
granddaughter who was spotted wearing a famous brand
of down jacket.
The mainland commentators believe that the incident reflects
South Korea as a true democratic country.
Although Lee was criticized by the his people, the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) should learn from Korea.
The CCP should let the public and media monitor officials.
During the Lunar New Year holiday this year, the down jacket
of Lee Myung-bak’s granddaughter became a hot internet topic.
According to the message of South Korean “Chosun Ilbo",
it was on the first day of vacation, January 21st.
Lee and his wife went to a traditional market together with their
granddaughter.
A white down jacket the granddaughter was wearing attracted
peoples’ attention.
The online version of a media reported that this French brand
“Munch Lille" down jacket has a price of 3 million won.
This is the cost for the adult version, equivalent to about RMB
16 thousand.
Subsequently, South Korea’s politicians also joined the ranks of
critics of Lee Myung-bak.
Jin Yuzhen, spokesman of Integration Democratic Party, wrote
that Lee brought the civilian population an indellible trauma.
Song Shuyuan, researcher of China’s social problems,
said this event sparking intense debate in South Korea.
This just indicates that in a democratic country, the citizens
have the power over supervising the government.
China’s social problems researcher Song Shuyuan: “If this
event is important or if it will affect Lee’s career….
Everything depends on the survey results but in it itself shows
an expression of public opinion and public participation.
It also shows the use of power, including supervision by public
opinion.
This is very good. A democratic country is displayed by this
reaction of the Korean people. “
Professor Cai Jian, deputy director of “South /North Korea
Research Center, International Studies, Fudan University"
Was of the opinion that some Korean presidents have
emphasized anti-corruption in the system.
Cai Jian: “(South Korea) have done a lot of work on system
Building and developing policy.
This imitates the property reporting system of the Western
civil servants and mandatory reporting.
Unlike China, there are so many gray incomes, outside of
regulatory reach.
When it comes to the issue of combating corruption, our
country may need to learn from South Korea."
Because of his granddaughter’s down jacket it brings Lee a
political crisis it seems he had never anticipated.
Hong Kong “Oriental Daily" reported that when looking at
Chinese official class, it’s so common to see them
Wearing famous designer watches, driving famous brands of cars
and wearing famous brands of clothes.
But just how many are firmly supervised by the anti-corruption
departments?
Netizen “Huaguuoshan Shuji” in mainland China has always
exposed the wearing famous brand watches by CCP officials.
Among of them, the Minister of Railways Ministry Sheng
Zuguang has worn a Rolex watch of over RMB 70,000.
A director of provincial department of finance wore a diamond
studded Omega, estimated price of over RMB 200,000.
Vice Minister of Railways Lu Dongfu, Vice Health Minister
Yin Li, Vice Minister of Science & Technology Zhang Laiwu
They all worn famous brand watches priced at more than
RMB 40,000 each.
Netizens questioned how the incomes and spending of these
officials don’t match but no one is investigated.
Song Shuyuan said that public requirement of disclosing CCP
officials’ property and incomes has been unresolved for years.
Song Shuyuan, China’s social problems researcher said: “Such
a system, is not for guaranteeing the people’s power.
It is being used to protect and cover up the evils of corruption.
Such an event like Lee’s granddaughter becomes a hot topic.
There are hot topics almost every day in China. What’s the
consequence? China’s ultimate issue is institutional. “
Cai Jian also said that, according to Lee’s background, he can
totally afford to purchase this down jacket.
According to reports, before becoming President Lee
Myung-bak was a legend in South Korean business community.
He was known as “the myth of wage earners.” After over 20
years’ effort, he owns property worth over 33 billion won.
This is equivalent to about RMB 270 million.
