維護國家安全是香港應有之義，無論是宣傳、監察或執法，特區政府均責無旁貸。
It is incumbent on the Special Administrative Region SAR Government to safeguard national security in Hong Kong whether by means of publicity monitoring or law enforcement
主席，本年8月23日，有12名港人在西貢布袋澳碼頭登上一艘快艇離境，其後在內地水域被內地海警人員截獲。
President on 23 August this year 12 Hong Kong people boarded a speedboat at the Po Toi O Pier in Sai Kung to leave the territory who were subsequently intercepted in Mainland waters by Mainland coast guard officers
主席，我想對局長說，拯救12名港人的質詢陸續有來，這只是第一輪質詢。
President I would like to tell the Secretary questions relating to saving 12 Hong Kong people will come one after another and this is only the first round of questions
我想問局長，"林鄭"政府上下有沒有任何人事先知情？
I would like to ask the Secretary if anyone in the Carrie LAM Government knew about the incident in advance
局長，請你面向鏡頭告訴香港人，"林鄭"政府上下有沒有任何人事先知情，有還是沒有？
Secretary please face the camera and tell Hong Kong people if anyone in the Carrie LAM Government knows about the incident in advance yes or no?
我引用《議事規則》，嚴肅希望主席介入。
I cite the Rules of Procedure and solemnly hope that you will intervene
梁君彥議員連正本都拿不出來證明自己的國籍，只提供一份副本不像副本的文件，最糟糕的是，他連居留權都未能釐清。
Mr Andrew LEUNG cannot even produce an original document to prove his nationality . All he can produce is a duplicate copy so to say . Worse still he cannot even clarify his right of abode
主席，今天我們向香港人展示一個粗疏得不能再粗疏的程序。
Chairman today we have shown Hong Kong people the sloppiest procedure ever
有吳克儉主持旅遊節目，他一年有多次旅遊經驗，"去旅行，去到盡"，他這一刻也身在越南，由他主持節目會非常好；也有陳茂波為我們說說"宜室宜居"，他有經營"劏房"的經驗，可以替我們想想如何在狹小空間做到類似宜家家居的設計，令大家有舒適的生活空間；還有馮煒光，由馮煒光管理Facebook便無敵，他一定有方法幫你管理得十分得體，既可促進 主流媒體的報道，又可以管理Facebook，真棒；最後是6時半新聞報道，由林鄭月娥自己做主播，播放自己所說的"官到無求膽自大"，那便可以解決問題了。
He is the best person to administer Facebook . He can definitely come up with ways to help you administer Facebook in the most presentable manner . Not only can he induce coverage by mainstream media but he can also be a Facebook administrator
其實不然，這個地方位於廣播道，是獅子山下的香港電台。
Actually this is not the case . This place the Radio Television Hong Kong RTHK under the Lion Rock is situated in Broadcast Drive
對於一些最簡單和最基本的事情，我們的資源分配仍然出現問題。
There are still problems with the distribution of resources when it comes to some of the simplest and most basic things
首先，我會就總目160發表意見。
Before all else I will express my views on head 160
所以，與其將公帑投放在某些範疇例如創新及科技局，他們每個月在社交媒體只發放數個貼文，便獲得這麼多撥款但另一些地方則完全沒有足夠撥款，我們認為政府應該進行檢討，重新考慮如何將錢用得其所。
However we find that that is not the case upon closer examination of some subheads . Therefore the Government had better conduct a review and consider afresh how money can be put to good use than to inject public funds into certain areas―such as the Innovation and Technology Bureau which is given abundant funds for issuing a few posts monthly on social media―while the funds allocated to some other areas are absolutely inadequate
這絕非今時今日，在香港這個國際城市及香港人願意看到的景象。
This is absolutely not a phenomenon that Hong Kong people would like to see nowadays in an international city like Hong Kong
所以，我們希望漁護署未來的工作一定要更加準確和到位，香港人尤其希望某些機構不要做太多壞事。
This is absolutely not something we would like to see . Hence we hope that in handling its work in the future AFCD would strive to achieve greater accuracy and effectiveness and in particular it is the hope of Hong Kong people that it would refrain from doing too many bad things
有甚麼可能在重重機制之下，出現如此嚴重的錯誤，間接導致鄧桂思需要換肝？
How can it be possible to commit such a serious mistake when so many mechanisms have already been put in place thus leading indirectly to the need of performing a liver transplant operation on TANG Kwai - sze?
若把這些公帑用於福利、教育和醫療之上，究竟可為香港帶來多少正面作用？
If such an amount of public money can be spent on social welfare education and health care how great will be the positive effects produced on Hong Kong?
代理主席，我只希望政府不要善財難捨，冤枉甘心。
Deputy Chairman I only hope that the Government would not be tight - fisted with benevolent measures but generous with extravagant projects
如果局長認為青年宿舍重要，是否應要有領導意志，嘗試召開會議解釋，幫忙協調撥出土地興建青年宿舍，讓年輕人可以入住？
If the Secretary thinks that this is an important task should he show his leadership in arranging to hold meetings for explanation and assisting in the coordination of land allocation to build youth hostels so as to provide accommodation for young people?
這種寧願一生也不說話的人，可以避免很多錯誤，但如果你仔細一看，便會發覺有很多事情是他應該做的。
People who prefer to keep quiet all their lives can avoid making mistakes . But if you think carefully you will notice that LAU Kong - wah has actually failed to do many things which he should have done
他如何才能成為一位稱職的民政事務局局長呢？
What should he do to become a competent Secretary for Home Affairs?
其實，現在有很多工作等他處理，包括修訂過時的《工廠及工業經營條例》。
In fact there are many outstanding tasks including reviewing the outdated Factories and Industrial Undertakings Ordinance
一項如此過時的文化藝術政策應該要重新檢討，假如局長有心，應該嘗試走訪民間，感受民間的溫度，聽一兩場音樂會，或到訪一些工廈地方，看看他們怎樣做陶瓷或創作。
Such an outdated cultural and arts policy should be reviewed afresh . If the Secretary is committed in his work he should visit members in the community and feel the ambience . He can attend a couple of concerts or visit premises in an industrial building to observe how artists produce ceramic artworks or other creative works
不過，要制訂有希望的青年政策，政府卻找了沒有希望的劉江華來當局長。
However while the Government intends to formulate a youth policy which brings hope it has assigned the work to Secretary LAU Kong - wah who is hopeless
我觀察他一段時間，發現他沒有一件事做得好。
After observing him for some time I conclude that there is not even one single task which he has done well
這樣的一位局長怎可以厚着臉皮問納稅人領取餘下3個月的工資，合共89萬元？
How come such a Director of Bureau has the cheek to ask taxpayers for three months emoluments amounting to 890,000?
我們既無法解決青年人在文化藝術創作方面的問題，還要面對一位這麼差的局長，叫香港人如何忍耐呢？
While we cannot resolve the problems encountered by young people in cultural arts and creativity we have to face such a poor Director of Bureau how can Hong Kong people stand such a situation?
代理主席，我們按道理應該有一個政策局，以領導香港訂立文化藝術政策，與時並進，尤其是要檢視我們周邊數個城市，近至如台灣這麼有土壤發展文化藝術的一個地區，遠至有其他更多例子。
Deputy Chairman in theory we should have a Policy Bureau to spearhead the formulation of a policy on cultural and arts for Hong Kong so that we can keep abreast of the times and in particular we have to consider the situation of some of our neighbouring cities . Taiwan which is near Hong Kong is a place which nurtures culture and arts . There are more examples if we consider cities further away
大家可以想象，高爾夫球會和遊艇會衣香鬢影，並非基層市民可以使用的設施。
As one can imagine golf clubs and yacht clubs are meeting places for people who are impeccably groomed and dressed instead of facilities for use by the grass roots
劉江華說他支持體育運動發展，但與此同時，對政府擬收回沙田石門用作足球訓練場地的賽馬會傑志中心一事，卻坐視不理。
LAU Kong - wah said he supported the development of sports but at the same time he sat on his hands when the Government proposed to resume the site of Jockey Club Kitchee Centre JCKC a football training venue in Shek Mun Sha Tin
老實說，我建議的減幅不算太高，因為正如大家所知，香港政府很多官員正支取"國寶級"薪酬， 而他們也好像國寶熊貓般慵慵懶懶。
To be honest the reduction proposed by me is not too big because as we all know many officials of the Hong Kong Government are remunerated at a national treasure level and they are as lazy as pandas Chinas national treasure
過去他好事不做，壞事卻做盡。
In the past he did nothing good but committed all sorts of bad deeds
無羞耻之心，非人也。
The feeling of shame is essential to man
政府不幫助罕見疾病患者，取消"N無人士"津貼，不向有需要人士提供資助，漠視民間疾苦。
The Government offers no assistance to patients with rare diseases cancels the subsidies for the N have - nots refuses to provide financial assistance to the needy and turns a blind eye to peoples suffering
我們需要具質素的議政，具質素的議會。
Hong Kong needs a quality system of political participation and a quality legislature
當時有網民"抽水"，質疑律師是否指"有紀律的'師奶'"。
At that time netizens poked fun of him and queried whether 律師 a lawyer was the short form of 有紀律的師奶
他身為律師在法院自拍，自拍後求饒，結果沒有事。
Being a lawyer he took selfies in a law court and he only got away after he apologized for his wrongdoing
根本就是強搶，全部都是納稅人的血汗錢，政府對"打工仔"的儲備可說是手到拿來。
The Government is indeed robbing the hardworking taxpayers by force as it is far too easy for the Government to draw from the reserves built by wage earners
為免主席說我離題，我只舉這個簡單的例子。
To avoid being warned by the President of digression I will keep my following example short and simple
香港人現時面對的問題是錢太少，只有微薄的收入，卻面對高昂的租金及冗長的工時。
Currently people working long hours can only get meagre income; yet they have to pay high rents
整個議事堂甚至議會制度已腐爛不堪，原因正是有這班政府高官，並有這班建制派護航，議員想提出問題也不行。
This Council as well as our parliamentary system is badly corrupted because these high officials have the pro - establishment Members acting as their defenders . Members are hence barred from asking questions
這些非法捕撈絕大部分是內地漁船在香港水域進行，漁護署可曾採取行動？
A vast majority of these illegal fishing activities in Hong Kong waters are carried out by Mainland fishing vessels . Has the Agriculture Fisheries and Conservation Department AFCD ever taken any actions?
單從日子來看已知有問題，拖延了8年，在2020年的今天才處理2012年的問題，"林鄭"政府究竟在做甚麼？
It has been delayed for eight years a problem that arose in 2012 has not been dealt with until now in 2020 . What has the Carrie LAM Government been doing?
至今，當局只在2014年成立了漁業持續發展基金，便以為已做了很多事情幫助漁民，一切已處理妥當，又要求議員通過有關法例，表示這樣便可幫助更多漁民。
So far the authorities have only established the Sustainable Fisheries Development Fund in 2014 yet they think that they have done a lot to help the fishermen and everything has been handled properly . They also asked Members to pass the relevant legislation purporting that it could help more fishermen
當局口口聲說要保護漁業，但這麼簡單的酌情權修訂也要拖延8年，究竟發生了甚麼問題？
The authorities keep saying that they have to protect the fisheries industry but it still takes them eight years to introduce such a simple amendment on discretionary power . What on earth has gone wrong?
當局還說甚麼保護漁民，幫漁民增值。
The authorities still claim that they have to protect the fishermen and help the fishermen to add value
當時有4,000多宗申請，有400多宗不獲准登記，當中300多宗已作出裁決，而行政上訴委員會亦表示予以同情，但由於法例的缺陷，當局只能予以同情，但無法提供協助。
Some 4 000 applications were received back then among which 400 - odd applications for registration were rejected . Among them AAB has handed down rulings on 300 - odd cases towards which AAB has expressed sympathy . Yet given the deficiencies of the legislation the authorities can only express sympathy but are unable to provide any assistance
主席， 問題的根本就是政府是否真的尊重漁業。
President the root of the problem lies in whether the Government really has respect for the fisheries industry
特區政府有否想過是哪裏出現問題呢？
Has the SAR Government ever thought about where the problem lies?
在上訴期間可以繼續捕魚便是沒有影響，"老兄"，他們無緣無故陷入上訴狀態，背負帶罪之名，只因他們在2012年6月15日前，基於各種原因未有向相關部門申請牌照，結果陷入上訴程序。
Being able to continue the fishing operations during the period pending appeal implies that there is no impact . Yet these fishermen have to bear the guilt and are stuck in an appeal for no reason at all merely because they have not applied for a licence with the relevant department before 15 June 2012 due to various reasons . They have to go through the appeal process as a result
今天，我們也只是討論漁民牌照，而我過去從未聽見政府提出一套整全的保護漁民、令漁業可持續發展的具體政策。
We are merely having a discussion on fishermens licences today and I have never heard about the Government putting forward a comprehensive set of specific policies to protect the fishermen and support the sustainable development of the fisheries industry
代理主席，青年人有機會到大灣區發展，當然是一件好事。
Deputy President it is certainly desirable for young people to have the opportunity to go to the Greater Bay Area for development
主席，加設一些口罩回收垃圾桶不是很複雜吧？
President the placing of face mask recycling bins is not rocket science isnt it?
此外，現時也因此增加了很多垃圾，因為有很多人會用紙巾或信封包裹着口罩，從而製造了更多垃圾。
Furthermore more wastes are produced now because people have to wrap their face masks with facial tissue or put them in envelopes
有環保人士指出，每日大量口罩被不當棄置，不單帶來病毒傳播風險，亦污染環境。
Some environmentalists have pointed out that a large number of face masks are disposed of improperly every day giving rise to not only risks of virus spreading but also pollution to the environment
我的補充質詢是，雖然局長說棄置量大約只是千分之一，不算太多，但問題是口罩這種垃圾與普通廚餘或各方面的垃圾不同。
Although the Secretary pointed out that face masks discarded only accounted for about 0.1 % of the MSW disposed of which is not a large quantity the crux of the matter lies in the differences between discarded face masks and ordinary food waste or other refuse
違泊除了造成交通阻塞，亦危及行人安全。
Illegal parking not only causes traffic obstruction but also jeopardizes the safety of pedestrians
即使近期警方加強打擊違泊，但情況未見明顯改善。
Even though the Police have recently stepped up efforts in combating illegal parking the situation has not been improved significantly
這兩個工作有重大關連的政策局，其一負責覓地，另一個則負責建屋，但卻隸屬兩個不同的司長，在這種極不協調的情況下，又怎能發揮最大效用呢？
These two Policy Bureaux are closely related in their work since one of them is responsible for identifying land sites while the other is responsible for housing production . Yet they are placed under the charge of two different Secretaries of Departments so how can the Policy Bureaux achieve the greatest effect under such an uncoordinated arrangement?
細看現時的政府架構，我覺得有相當奇怪之處。
I have taken a careful look at the existing government structure and found that there is something very strange about it
2020年錄得的8843宗騙案較2019年增加差不多七成。
In 2020 8 843 fraud cases were recorded representing a nearly 70 % increase over 2019
代理主席，內地交流活動可讓學生了解國家的最新發展肯定是好事，不過是否具成效，便真的要視乎活動質素。
Deputy President it is certainly nice that Mainland exchange activities can enhance students understanding of the latest developments in the nation . Nevertheless their effectiveness will really depend on the quality of these activities
特首，過去很多年政府施政困難，其中一個原因是立法會亂象叢生和"拉布"拖延所致。
Chief Executive one of the reasons for the Governments difficulties in administration is the frequent chaos and filibusters in the Legislative Council over the past years
眼見香港陷入這個政治困局，中央不得不出手使出"組合拳"。首先用《香 港國安法》制止各種反中亂港的勢力，接着提出了"愛國者治港"和完善選舉制度。
Noting that Hong Kong had plunged into a political stalemate the Central Authorities had no choice but to take action and throw combination punches by first enacting the National Security Law to stop the forces that opposed China and created turmoil in Hong Kong and then implementing patriots administering Hong Kong and improving the electoral system
有了良好的管治生態基礎，香港才能夠前進，最終目的都是令市民安居樂業。
Only with good governance in place can Hong Kong move forward to achieve the ultimate goal of making it a better place for members of the public to live and work in
我想請問特首，在議會回復理性之後，政府如何把握這個新政治形勢，與議員一起解決香港的經濟問題、住屋問題和深層次矛盾？
I would like to ask the Chief Executive After rationality is restored in the Council how will the Government cash in on the new political situation and work together with Members to address Hong Kongs economic and housing problems as well as deep - seated conflicts?
人類的習性是很容易忘記好人好事，但會記得憤怒和仇恨。
It is human nature to forget good deeds easily but remember anger and hatred
其實假資訊容易令人作出錯誤決定，如果社會上大量人將假當真，一定對社會造成重大的破壞。
Actually false information can easily lead to wrong decisions and if it is taken as true by a large number of people in society this will substantially prejudice our society for sure
醫護人員當時疲於奔命，壓力瀕臨"爆煲"邊緣。
At the time healthcare personnel were overwhelmed and exhausted and their immense pressure had driven them to the verge of a mental breakdown
這次的新型冠狀病毒為人類帶來巨大災難，但這次的經驗及教訓亦間接等於一場大型試驗。
The novel coronavirus outbreak this time around is a huge disaster to mankind . But the experience and bitter lesson this time have likewise served indirectly as a large - scale experiment
原本是預防新冠肺炎，但結果連流感亦一併預防了。
What has been done to prevent the novel coronavirus has resulted in the prevention of influenza as well
當然，在疫情平息後，市民未必會嚴密防疫，但政府可以發展健康教育政策，推動市民注重個人及公共衞生，鼓勵市民勤加洗手、有病須佩戴口罩、多做運動、多做健康戶外活動及多做身體檢查，相信能有效減低患病率。
Of course after the epidemic has subsided people may not be as vigorous as before in epidemic prevention . But the Government can develop a health education policy to motivate people to pay attention to personal and public health and to encourage people to wash their hands more frequently wear a mask if they are ill do more exercise participate more in healthy outdoor activities and undergo physical check - ups more often . I believe all this can effectively reduce the chance of contracting illnesses
所以，我促請政府全力推動健康政策，這樣既可以較低經濟成本處理人口老化帶來的挑戰，亦可令市民將來過長壽而健康的生活。
Therefore I urge the Government to promote a health policy in full steam . That way it can cope with the challenges presented by population ageing at a lower economic cost and enable people to live a longer and healthier life in the future
哈佛大學的研究發現，大企業為員工推出健康計劃，企業每投入1美元，員工的醫療成本便會下降3.27美元，病假減少亦可節省2.73美元。
As a study conducted by Harvard University discovered if large enterprises launch wellness programmes for their staff the medical cost incurred by their staff will fall by US3.27 for every US dollar injected into such programmes and absenteeism costs will likewise fall by US2.73
研究證明，投資在推動健康的項目上有助大幅減少醫療開支，研究雖然在美國進行，但相信全球適用。
As indicated by the relevant studies investing in health promotion programmes can significantly reduce healthcare expenditure . Even though the studies concerned were conducted in the United States I think their findings are applicable worldwide
去年年底一項調查顯示，有83%受訪者認為健康較財富重要，所以過去一年，越來越多人喜歡遠足或郊遊等有益身心的活動。
As discovered by a survey conducted late last year 83 % of the respondents considered health to be more important than wealth . This explains why more and more people have developed a liking for activities that are beneficial to their physical and mental health over the past year such as going on hiking and outings to the countryside
我相信，如果政府現在開始推動健康的生活模式，會得到很多市民支持。
I believe that if the Government begins to promote a healthy lifestyle now it will obtain the support of many people
所以，我認為有健康才可以享受長壽。
Therefore I think that a long life is enjoyable only with good health
此外，政府應該提供更多合適的運動設施及場地。
Besides the Government should provide more suitable sports facilities and venues
同時，近年亦漸漸有學校設立健身室供學生使用。
At the same time the recent years have gradually seen the setting up of fitness rooms in schools for students
我希望政府可以認真思考及執行，因為市民習慣防疫，現在推動全民健康政策是最佳時機，而且必須由小孩做起。
I hope the Government can consider my idea seriously and put it into practice . The reason is that as people are accustomed to epidemic prevention it is now the best timing to promote a health policy for all and this must begin with children
屆時，醫療開支必然會急劇上升，對特區的財政產生巨大壓力。
By that time healthcare expenditure will definitely surge and this will exert tremendous pressure on the finances of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
此外，財政司司長早前亦表示，計劃再發行多種幣值、合共相當於1,700多億港元的政府綠色債券，以繼續擴大香港綠色金融的規模。
In addition the Financial Secretary has earlier said that he plans to issue additional government green bonds in multiple currencies totalling more than HK170 billion in order to further expand the scale of green finance in Hong Kong
所以，香港發展為綠色金融的區域樞紐，除了可以為國家環保事業出一分力，更加可以融入國家發展大局，得到巨大的發展機遇。
Therefore by developing into a regional hub for green finance Hong Kong can not only contribute to the countrys cause of environmental protection but also integrate into the countrys overall development and enjoy significant opportunities for development
另外，在支持香港參與"一帶一路"建設的安排上，亦明確支持推動香港發展綠色債券市場。
Moreover with the arrangement for advancing Hong Kongs participation in the Belt and Road Initiative they clearly support the development of a green bond market in Hong Kong
所以，香港發展綠色金融，有國家在背後協助，政府應該大膽去做。
Therefore with the assistance of the State behind the development of green finance in Hong Kong the Government should muster the courage to go ahead
特首已經表示，會親自主持跨部門氣候變化及碳中和督導委員會，帶領官員研究減碳的方案，包括開發零碳的能源和技術、提高建築物的能源效益、實施更嚴格的能源效益標準、推動零碳運輸，以及興建轉廢為能設施等。
The Chief Executive has already said that she will chair the interdepartmental Steering Committee on Climate Change and Carbon Neutrality and lead government officials to examine various means to reduce carbon emissions including exploring zero - carbon energy and decarbonization technology enhancing the energy efficiency of buildings introducing more stringent energy efficiency standards promoting zero - carbon transportation and building waste - to - energy facilities
民政事務局副局長和勞工及福利局副局長亦已積極回應我的議案。
The Under Secretary for Home Affairs and the Under Secretary for Labour and Welfare have also provided proactive responses to my motion
相信大家對議案內容均表認同，現在的關鍵在於政府如何落實。
I think we all agree with the ideas put forward in the motion and the crux lies in how the Government should put these ideas into practice
希望政府認真對待，及早以興建醫院以外的方法，讓市民享受優質生活。
I hope the Government will treat this matter seriously and take early action by means other than the construction of hospitals to enable people to enjoy a quality life
主席，在過去5個月的反修例運動中，其實已發生了無數騷亂和暴動；基本上，涉及的範圍是全港18區，而警方因而出動的裝備或器材亦非常多。
President during the movement of opposition to the proposed legislative amendments over the past five months an untold number of disturbances and riots have actually taken place basically involving all the 18 districts across Hong Kong and the Police have deployed a large quantity of equipment and devices
按局長剛才在主體答覆中所述，一些須匯報的投訴已接近過千宗之多。
According to what the Secretary said earlier in the main reply the number of reportable complaints has reached nearly 1 000
有前刑事檢控專員建議，法庭應收緊保釋條件，就一些潛逃風險高的案件，要求增加保釋金和人事擔保金，甚至要求保釋人士佩戴電子追蹤儀器。
A former Director of Public Prosecutions suggested that the court should tighten bail conditions . For cases with high risk of absconding a higher amount of bail or surety should be set and persons on bail may even be required to wear electronic tracking devices
今天政府就"起底"向立法會提交條例草案首讀，我預期本屆會期內可以完成三讀的立法程序。
Today the Government will present the Bill on doxing to the Legislative Council for First Reading . I expect the three - reading legislative process to be completed within this term
但是，就着我剛才提到的立法打擊虛假資訊，我在議會內追問、追問、再追問，局長就研究、研究、再研究。
However regarding the enactment of legislation to combat false information as I mentioned just now although I have asked questions time and again in this Council the Secretary has only continued to study the matter again and again
但是，局長有否留意到，現時的情況基本上是非常紛亂及危險，對警員已經很危險，更何況警犬？
However has the Secretary noticed that the current situation is actually very chaotic and dangerous? . It is already very dangerous to the Police let alone police dogs
我的補充質詢是，我發現有不少這類工作犬在退役後都會有一些工作上的勞損，比普通寵物犬更為嚴重。
I have this supplementary question . I notice that quite a large number of retired working dogs have had some injuries sustained while they were in service and their conditions are more serious than those of pet dogs in general
由我們完成宣誓至今，我相信已浪費了兩小時，而閣下的工作亦只是主持今天這項主席選舉，所以我希望你不要再浪費時間，直接進入立法會主席選舉的程序。
From the completion of oath - taking up till now I believe we have wasted two hours . Since your task is to preside at the election of the President I hope you would not waste any more time and proceed directly to the procedure for election of the President
我希望政府對這個問題靈活處理，因應樓齡不同的樓宇，採用實際可行的方法，訂立相應的防火要求。
I hope that the Government will handle this issue with flexibility and adopt practical and feasible measures in light of the ages of various buildings in drawing up corresponding fire protection requirements
如業主由於種種客觀原因，短期內未能提升樓宇消防質素，最好的解決方法是由政府出手，協助他們提升消防設施，而不是票控他們。
If owners have failed to raise the fire safety standard of their buildings in the short term due to various objective reasons the best solution is that the Government would take the initiative to help them enhance their fire service facilities rather than prosecute them by way of summons
我們出任議員多年，經常看到行政機關受制於一些法例，以致施政上未能發揮得更好。
As long - time Members we have very often noticed that the executive authorities constrained by some laws have failed to play a better role in administration
這項議案指出，政府要求提升綜合及住宅樓宇的消防設施，令眾多舊樓業主十分為難。
This motion mentions that the Governments request to enhance the fire service facilities of composite and domestic buildings has put many residents of old buildings in a very difficult position
如政府以劃一標準處理所有樓宇的消防安全問題，似乎不切實際，亦正如我剛才所說，有點脫離現實情況。
It appears to be impractical for the Government to tackle the fire safety problems of all buildings by adopting a uniform standard . As I said just now it may be somewhat out of touch with the reality
我所屬選區內，上水石湖墟、聯和墟、大埔舊墟有不少舊樓。
In my constituency there are quite a number of old buildings in Shek Wu Hui in Sheung Shui Luen Wo Hui and Tai Po Old Market
就加裝消防安全設備的問題，我與局長及消防處的同事曾召開多次會議，但結論似乎都一樣，無法向他們提供協助。
I had quite a number of meetings with the Secretary and representatives of the Fire Services Department on retrofitting fire service equipment . However the outcome appeared to be the same―we were unable to render any assistance
