很多同事剛才提到法官在判詞上使用了不少情緒化的言詞，其後終審法院首席法官馬道立作出了跟進及發表聲明，指法官或司法人員若公開發表不適當或無必要的意見，會影響法庭不偏不倚的形象及公信力。
Just now many Members mentioned that a judge used quite a number of sensational words in his judgment . Subsequently Chief Justice Geoffrey MA conducted a follow - up and made a statement stating that a judge or judicial officer who expresses in public unwarranted or unnecessary views risks compromising the appearance of impartiality and credibility of the court
我期望香港終審法院首席法官可以帶領司法機構獨立和公正地執行司法工作，以公平、公正、無懼、無私、捍衞人權和法治的態度來審理案件。
I hope the Chief Justice of CFA will lead the Judiciary to administer justice independently and impartially and to adjudicate cases in a fair impartial fearless and selfless manner upholding human rights and the rule of law
這舉例根本是風馬牛不相及，新加坡與英國是兩個主權國家，我們看回《基本法》，《基本法》第一條訂明："香港特別行政區是中華人民共和國不可分離的部分"。香港亦即中國，那麼在香港終審法院審理案件，在法理上，在所有層面上，都是等於在中國本土審理案件。《基本法》第二條訂明："全國人民代表大會授權香港特別行政區依照本法的規定實行高度自治，享有行政管理權、立法權、獨立的司法權和終審權"。
In Hong Kong which is a bilingual common law jurisdiction both Chinese and English are languages accepted by the court; similarly in the Legislative Council both Chinese and English are accepted for debate
原因是：第一，我們尊重司法人員推薦委員會的建議。第二，我們須確保司法機構暢順運作。第三，一般來說，司法人員推薦委員會所推薦的法官，均是法律界上有良好聲譽的代表人物。
The reasons are as follows first we respect JORCs recommendation; secondly we have to ensure the smooth operation of the Judiciary; and thirdly judges recommended by JORC are in general icons with good reputations from the legal sector
主席，然而，香港法治正面臨前所未見的挑戰，公眾對於法律制度能否為香港社會帶來公義，越來越感到懷疑。
President the rule of law in Hong Kong is however faced with unprecedented challenges . Members of the public have become increasingly suspicious about whether the legal system can bring justice to Hong Kong society
環保署在中西區和荃灣區設有二噁英監測站，但政府似乎未有公布最近3星期的監測數據。
EPD has set up dioxin monitoring stations in Central and Western District and also Tsuen Wan District . But it looks like the Government has not published any monitoring statistics for the recent past three weeks
既然當局會就《私隱條例》進行檢討，會否包括另外立項，把某類個人資料分類為敏感個人資料，這是世界所趨，局長沒有回答，請他直接回答我這個問題。
Since the Administration will review PDPO will it classify certain types of personal data as sensitive personal information separately? . This is a worldwide trend . The Secretary did not reply to this
主席，規程問題。
Chairman a point of order
我們信納這兩份書面文件，不是隨口說的。
We are satisfied with the authenticity of the two papers and he has not made a casual statement
主席，希望你作出有關指示，請他們返回座位，因為他肆意走來走去......
Chairman I hope that you will give an instruction ordering them to return to their seats
所以，剛才有議員可能因此不太滿意你的裁決而離席。
Hence just now some Members left the Chamber possibly because they were dissatisfied with your ruling
剛才，我們當然參加了宣誓，也聽見不同議員不同誓詞內容。
We have of course participated in the oath - taking earlier and have heard the various versions of oathsaffirmations made or subscribed by various Members
我認為秘書長已非常寬鬆地處理。
I think the Secretary General adopted a very lenient approach in handling their oath - taking
我們希望在維持現時嚴格的消防安全標準下，政府能夠有這項酌情權，有這個責任。
It is our hope that while maintaining the existing stringent fire safety standards the Government will be conferred with discretionary powers and has to undertake responsibilities
消防安全方面，遲一秒也嫌遲，我希望當局根據《消防安全條例》執法時，不要擾民，而是考慮如何幫助市民。
When it comes to fire safety a one - second delay may already be costly . I hope that the authorities will not cause nuisance to the public when enforcing the Fire Safety Buildings Ordinance . Rather they should consider how to help members of the public
我希望姚松炎議員聽到我的說法。
I hope Dr YIU Chung - yim could hear my remarks
我們應該沒有太大分歧，我絕對願意在局方接納我們的建議後，就法例提出長遠我希望不用長遠的修訂時，共同就原意和字眼再作商討。
We should not have great differences . I am absolutely willing to after the acceptance of our proposal by the authorities join hands with him to discuss the original intent and wording of legislative amendments we will put forward in the future―in the not too distant future I hope
我對此絕對願意持開放的態度。
I am absolutely willing to adopt an open attitude in this regard
但是，市民真的十分期待我們今天的辯論，更期望局長真正聽到我們提出的市民的困難。
That said people have placed considerable expectations on our debate today . More importantly they have expected the Secretary to truly listen to our description of their difficulties
我們沒有很大的分歧，我希望他能夠支持我的議案，因為我的議案的最主要原則是立項，提出對消防安全能有類似"樓宇更新大行動"的政府資助。
We have no great differences and I hope he can support my motion for the main principle of my motion is to place on the agenda a proposal on the introduction of a government subsidy scheme for fire safety similar to the Operation Building Bright
所以，我希望陳恒鑌議員和姚松炎議員不要因為修正案的少許分歧，令原議案受到影響。
For this reason I hope that the minor differences between the amendments of Mr CHAN Han - pan and Dr YIU Chung - yim will not affect my original motion
我們應該一起集中向政府和局方施壓，一定要讓政府聽到立法會今次一致的意見，為業主提供適當的協助。
We should make concerted efforts to put pressure on the Government and the Bureau in particular so as to make the Government hear the unanimous views of the Legislative Council this time around and provide property owners with appropriate assistance
我很希望我今天的原議案得到大家一致支持，迫使政府重新考慮如何執行《條例》，並向市民提供協助。
I strongly hope that my original motion today will receive the unanimous support of Members thereby pressing the Government to consider afresh how the Ordinance should be enforced and to offer assistance to the public
但是，來到2017年的香港，總結回歸後每一屆政府的撥款，我們可否仍以傳統的經濟思維來看問題？
However when we talk about Hong Kong in 2017 and if we want to draw a conclusion on the provision of funds in each term of the Government after the reunification can we still look at the issues with the traditional economic mentality?
我認為現已到達十字路口。
I think we have now reached a crossroad
其實我也很喜歡自由市場，特別是由於我年輕時曾在別的制度下生活過數年，使我更加喜歡資本主義制度。
I also like the idea of free market especially after living in a place that practised other systems when I was young for a few years I appreciate the capitalist system even more
因此，我明白《基本法》在1990年通過時，為何大部分香港人都支持推行"一國兩制"，在香港維持資本 主義，與內地的社會主義兩者並行。
Therefore when the Basic Law was enacted in 1990 I understand why most people in Hong Kong supported one country two systems with Hong Kong maintaining the practice of the capitalist system in parallel with the practice of socialism in the Mainland . We like the idea of earning more by working harder
剛才很多委員要麼說得鉅細無遺，連一條街名也談及；要麼說到萬丈遠，說到中港兩地關係。
Just now many Members have spoken in great detail even the name of a street is depicted while some have digressed so far to talk about China - Hong Kong relation
在這個環節，我認為雙方均應爭取發言，表達各自的意見。
In this session I think Members from both sides should strive for the chance to speak and express their views
事實上，如市民能拿出100萬元，也可算是中產。
As a matter of fact if people can spare 1 million they are considered to be middle - class people
所以，若政府能進一步推出更多元化的政策，我認為財政司司長即使"執二攤"提出新政策，並繼續予以優化，也十分值得支持。
Hence if the Government can adopt more diversified policies and continue to improve them even though the Financial Secretary only serves as a stopgap took up the post after the resignation of the former I still think such policies are worthy of our support
希望下屆政府不會出現這種脫節情況。
I hope that this kind of disconnection will not happen again in the next - term Government
甚至我本人亦曾建議設立協調中心，處理雙方可能互相指 責對方有偏見的問題，以及在工作環境中由於對性傾向的不同意見而被上司歧視的問題。
I for my part have even proposed the establishment of a coordination centre to tackle problems of two parties accusing each other of harbouring prejudices and cases of subordinates being discriminated against by their superiors at workplaces due to differing views over sexual orientation
主席，我繼續補充一點，我剛才談到海濱問題，梁國雄議員接着又提到東九龍和西九龍。
Chairman I would like to make one more point . I talked about the issue of harbourfront just now and Mr LEUNG Kwok - hung subsequently mentioned East Kowloon and West Kowloon
政府處事不公，當年我們提出意見後，林鄭月娥局長在其任內的2011年便履行了一項承諾，接受了我們先易後難的概念，開啟了紅磡海濱。
The Government had been unfair in handling the matter . After we put forward our views Secretary Carrie LAM fulfilled one of her pledges during her term of office . She accepted our idea of tackling the easier tasks first hence in 2011 the Hung Hom harbourfront was opened
很多事情，特別是牽涉如此廣泛的理念和家庭價值觀的問題，並非採用法律便可以一下子改變的。
There are many matters especially issues involving such broad ideologies and family values which cannot be changed overnight by law
此外，她提及平機會。
Moreover she mentioned EOC
她提到小販問題，其實建制派也有很多意見，希望改善小販問題，但是，我希望討論的方向不要挑動小販，甚至推他們到前線去衝擊法律底線。
Can she be more specific? . She mentioned the hawking problem . Actually the pro - establishment camp also has a lot of views and wishes to ameliorate the hawking problem but I hope the direction of discussion will not provoke the hawkers and even push them to the front line to challenge the bottom line in law
但是，當我們較為成熟時，是否可考慮更有系統地培養政治人才，包括參政、議政，甚至將來執政的專業人才？
However when we have become more mature can consideration be given to nurturing more systematically political talents including professional talents participating in and deliberating on politics and even governing Hong Kong in the future?
政治人才也一樣，香港的政治環境急劇變化，但我們不能落後於人。
That is also the case with political talents . The political environment in Hong Kong is changing rapidly but we cannot lag behind
關於我們的國家，我看了數集名為"大道中國"的電視節目，是頗好看的，內容是關於內地的年青人如何創業，內地好像有數千萬間小企業。
Regarding our country I have watched a few episodes of a television programme called Super China which is quite enjoyable . It is about how young people started their own business on the Mainland where there seems to be tens of million small enterprises
例如《個人資料條例》是要保障守法的人的私隱，而不是作為讓犯法的 人犯罪的擋箭牌。
For example the Personal Data Privacy Ordinance seeks to protect the privacy of law - abiding people rather than acts as a protective shield for lawbreakers to commit crimes
我們無需一定要有成文法，也可以就在互聯網發放的假信息追究民事和刑事責任。
We do not necessarily need statutory law to be able to hold the perpetrators civilly and criminally liable for the false information disseminated on the Internet
我想在此說，其實在普通法裏面，一直都有抗辯的理由，包括發布新聞時自己曾經作過盡職盡責的求證，亦不是魯莽、故意地散發一些假消息，甚至帶有傷害社會和受害人的一些目的。
Here I would like to say that in truth there are always grounds of defence in common law including that one has exercised due diligence in verifying the news story before publishing it rather than recklessly and deliberately spread false information or even had any intentions of harming society and the victims
即使現在未立法，如果某人為故意傷害一些受害人而發放假消息，即使《誹謗條例》亦一樣能夠處理；誹謗不只涉及民事責任，亦可涉及刑事責任，因此不能說現在未立法便可以肆無忌憚。
Even though no legislation has been enacted at present if a person releases false information with the intention of inflicting harm on some victims the Defamation Ordinance can still deal with it . Defamation involves not only civil liability but also criminal liability so just because the legislation has not yet been enacted does not mean that ones behaviour can go unchecked
香港是否準備好呢？
Has Hong Kong prepared itself for this?
在"衣、食、住、行"中，"行"也是昂貴的。
Among clothing food accommodation and transportation transportation is costly
現時中央亦開腔，在"十四五"規劃中，首次將香港的文化地位寫入國家規劃，希望將香港打造成中外文化藝術交流中心。
The Central Authorities have now expressed their views and have in the 14th Five - Year Plan included the cultural status of Hong Kong in the national plan for the first time indicating their wish to develop Hong Kong into a hub for arts and cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world
所以，今天這項議案很着時，好像告別"劏房"一樣，中央也開腔，我們真是應該肩負起這個責任。
This motion moved today is therefore very timely and just like the idea of bidding farewell to subdivided units we really should bear the responsibility as the Central Authorities have already mentioned something about the matter
但是，我認為不應該只局限於一方面，現時得到金牌，便一窩蜂關注體育。
However I do not think we should restrict our initiatives in this respect to only one particular area just like the sudden enthusiasm for sports development following the winning of gold medals
但是，我覺得很重要的是香港的文化要與國家、我們中華文化結連一起，例如差不多在大約2000年，我們看一套韓劇叫《大長今》，它將韓國的食文化深入亞洲，然後它的化妝品、食品及藝術品，全部就隨之而......
However I think a very important thing is that we should link up the culture of Hong Kong with that of our country ie . the Chinese culture . For example in around 2000 most of us watched the Korean drama series Jewel in the Palace which has promoted the food culture of Korea throughout Asia and paved the way for the subsequent popularization of Korean cosmetic products food products and artworks
一套長篇電視劇推廣了韓國的文化。
It took just a single drama series back then to have the Korean culture widely promoted
政府會否從這方面考慮，從而令律師或大律師的界別也認為在分配案件方面可以更公平、公正，而社會亦能接受？
Will the Government give it consideration so that the assignment of cases will be considered fairer and more impartial by the solicitor or counsel profession and acceptable to the community?
據報，該管理人每年從該遺產支取高達6,000萬元的收費。
It has been reported that the administrators collect from the estate a fee as high as 60 million per annum
主席，自2019冠狀病毒病疫情在港爆發以來，政府一直物色合適處所用作臨時檢疫設施，但困難重重。
President while the Government has been searching for suitable premises for use as temporary quarantine facilities since the outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 epidemic in Hong Kong it has encountered much difficulty
請問在這情況下，當局有否考慮設立接收有需要接受檢疫或隔離病人的永久專門隔離檢疫中心，而選址應該遠離民居呢？
Under these circumstances I would like to ask Have the authorities considered the idea of setting up permanent isolation or quarantine centres dedicated to accommodating patients requiring quarantine or isolation treatment on sites that are far away from residential buildings?
我注意到政府也積極回應了我一直提出應學習的英國治亂模式的建議。
I notice that the Government has made proactive response to my proposal of drawing reference from the approaches adopted by the United Kingdom in handling riots
我認為政府是"捉到鹿卻不懂得脫角"，因為英國在5天內已經治亂，但我們在5個月後還未能治亂。
In my view the Government has failed to seize the golden opportunity to act . While the riots in the case of the United Kingdom were settled in five days in Hong Kong the disturbances have not yet been addressed after five months have passed
由於立法會主席的選舉須按照《議事規則》附表1所訂的程序進行，而有關的條文是容許議員在選舉主席的會議上，就候選人的事宜進行討論的。
The election of the President of the Legislative Council must proceed in accordance with the procedures specified in Schedule 1 of the Rules of Procedure and the relevant provision allows Members to discuss matters concerning the candidates at the meeting for electing the President
我只能夠接受秘書給我的名單，包括候選人和有資格投票的議員。
I can only accept the list provided to me by the Clerk setting out the names of the candidates and of the Members who are eligible to vote
如果你仍視我為主席，並稱呼我為主席，你便要接受我的決定。
You should accept my decision if you still regard me as the Chairman and address me as such
剛才已報名發言的兩位議員，游蕙禎議員和林健鋒議員，你們是否還打算發言？
Two Members have requested to speak just now . Miss YAU Wai - ching and Mr Jeffrey LAM do you still wish to speak?
在整個會議過程中，沒有任何議員可以要求釐清問題或提出質詢等，而秘書處亦因應這規定，根據《議事規則》，昨天特別安排了一個論壇，讓大家對候選人作出提問或質詢。
Throughout the meeting Members cannot seek clarification of any issues or raise questions . In view of such restrictions the Secretariat arranged to hold a special forum yesterday in accordance with RoP to allow Members to put questions to the candidates
當然，我明白，昨天以至今天有很多議員同事對候選人梁君彥議員的身份和外國居留權，提出了很多疑問。
Of course I understand that from yesterday to today many colleagues have raised a number of questions concerning the status of Mr Andrew LEUNG one of the candidates and his right of abode in other countries
所以，我們沒有機會再進一步請法律顧問及秘書處澄清或解答大家的問題。
Hence we do not have the chance to seek clarification from the Legal Adviser or the Secretariat and cannot answer Members questions
我在這裏向大家再一次道歉，今天主持會議時有些地方不理想，或者不順暢，希望大家諒解包涵，多謝大家。
Once again I would like to apologize to all Members for areas of dissatisfaction or hiccups during the meeting presided by me . I ask for your understanding and tolerance . Thank you
我今天主持會議，作出了一個決定，就是每位議員只可提出一次規程問題。
I am the one to preside at the meeting today and I have made a decision that each Member is allowed to raise a point of order once only
我希望每位同事只發言一次，因為時間有限，希望議員發言時盡量精簡。
I hope that each colleague will only speak once . Owing to the time constraint I hope that Members will keep their speeches concise
所以，如果要檢討重組各政策局，我認為最重要除了要聆聽民意和了解民情外，還有一點，就是要在制度上作一個很大改變，使人民可以參與政 制決定，這才是最重要。
Therefore if we are to review and reorganize the Policy Bureaux I believe we must first listen to the people and understand their sentiments . One more thing we have to introduce significant changes to the system so that the people can take part in constitutional decisions . This is after all the most important point
公立醫院的病床住用率長期高於90%，在流感高峰期情況更嚴重，病房往往爆滿，須要加插臨時床位，而臨時床位甚至會擺放在走廊上。
The occupancy rate of public hospital beds is persistently higher than 90 % . During influenza peak seasons the situation is even more acute; wards are crammed beyond capacity and it is necessary to provide temporary beds some of which must even be placed along corridors
她需要兩度換肝，現時情況依然危殆。
She had to undergo two liver transplants and is still in critical condition now
我很擔心政府非但不能救人，反而草菅人命；也擔心政府沒有關注大家有多少資源需要，而是關注有多少"大白象"工程的需要。
I fear that the Government may end up harming people rather than saving them . I also fear that the Government will only care about how many white elephant projects are required instead of paying any heed to peoples need for health care resources
就資源方面，我們認為最離譜的是，在資源非常緊絀的情況下，政府進一步錯配資源，實在是一錯再錯。
Speaking of resources we think the greatest absurdity is that when health care resources are already so tight the Government still fails to allocate such resources correctly making one mistake after another
我想指出一點，現時醫管局並不是根據人口比例分配各聯網的資源，即使近年整體撥款增加，各聯網的撥款比例仍然相若。
I wish to point out that at present HA does not apportion resources among its hospital clusters on the basis of their relative population sizes . Despite overall funding increases in recent years the respective proportions of funding received by the various hospital clusters have remained largely unchanged
不過，我們討論了多年，例如天水圍需要醫院，因為該區有很多基層市民需要公營醫院及公營醫療服務。
But we have been discussing the health care needs in this cluster for years . For example at one time we argued that it was necessary to build a hospital in Tin Shui Wai due to the heavy demand of grass - root people for public hospital and public health care services in the district
主席，其實我們要求的是24小時服務，而非12小時。
Chairman we are asking for 24 hours not 12 hours
我會說，一定無法解決問題。
I would say the answer is definitely no
如果還要加價，有多少市民能夠承擔得起這樣的消費呢？
If the prices of private medical consultation also go up how many people can still afford?
我不知道為甚麼，現在連我們要求特區政府在辦公時間見面也不答應，是否十分離譜呢？
I do not know why . These days the SAR Government is not even willing to meet with the public during office hours . This is simply absurd isnt it?
很簡單來說，現時香港公營醫療系統的最大問題是，資源增長的速度遠遠趕不上服務需求的增長。
In a word the biggest problem with the public health care system of Hong Kong is that resource increases are far slower than the growth of service demand
但是，我們不知道我們的特首和張炳良局長，以至一群高薪厚職的官員，是如何看住屋問題。
Nevertheless I do not know how our Chief Executive Secretary Prof Anthony CHEUNG and other well - paid government officials perceive the housing issue
可能對他們來說，住屋是一種生活享受，所以他們能夠高床軟枕，金碧輝煌。
Maybe they all think that housing should give them pleasure and enjoyment in life and this may explain why their residences are all so comfy and beautifully decorated
很簡單，因為在梁振英上任這5年內，他的禮賓府花了3,000多萬元來裝修，而我們的陳茂波局長也不吃虧，即使要居住數個月，竟然花掉200多萬元裝修費。
The answer is very simple . Over the past five years of his term LEUNG Chun - ying has spent over 30 million on renovating Government House . Paul CHAN is not bad either as he has still spent some 2 million on renovating his residence even though he will only live there for several months
不過，"上樓"當然是最好，買樓更好，但問題在於現時私營房屋的售價越來越貴，貴至連居屋都水漲船高，居屋的價錢也非常昂貴，不是一般市民能負擔得起。
It is of course very good that people can be allocated PRH units and still better if they can purchase their own homes . But the problem now is that prices of private residential units are forever soaring thus also boosting the prices of HOS flats to levels that are beyond the affordability of the common people
而政府又說推出"雙辣招"來遏抑樓價，不過"辣招"已出，過去數年只看到樓價仍是不斷飆升，炒樓的人繼續炒樓，而買不到樓的小市民繼續買不到樓。
The Government also talks about the two harsh measures introduced to curb property prices . However despite these harsh measures property prices have still kept soaring over the past few years . Property speculators simply continue with their speculative activities while private properties continue to be unaffordable to the common people
政府特別是特首經常說要迎難而上，如何迎難而上呢？
The Government and especially the Chief Executive have kept talking about rising up to challenges . Have they really done so? . I fail to see how they have ever done so
我們認為更重要的另一個問題是關於一群年青朋友，如果他們大約在20歲申請公屋，以現時的計算方法，大約等二三十年以上才能輪候到公屋單位，但當他們輪候到公屋時已不再是年青人，差不多是長者了，這種做法是否很諷刺？
And we think there is an even more important aspect to this denial one which concerns young people . If they apply for a PRH unit at the age of 20 then as computed under the existing Quota and Points System they will have to wait 20 to 30 years before they can get a PRH unit . But by then they will no longer be young and will be entering old age
除此之外，政府還要面對一個問題，但很可惜，梁振英和局長一直不肯處理，便是租務管制問題。
Besides the Government also needs to tackle another issue the issue of rent control . Sadly LEUNG Chun - ying and the Secretary have all along refused to deal with it
我們記得香港曾經試過兩次實施租務管制，最後一次在2004年才取消。
As we can recall rent control was imposed twice in Hong Kong and the last rent control was lifted only as recently as 2004
所以，租務管制曾於歷史上出現和實施，但很可惜，我們的特首和局長不斷強調一句話，就是如果實施租務管制的話，可能會導致沒有甚麼租盤供應，甚至變成幫倒忙。
Therefore the imposition and lifting of rent control was actually found in the history of Hong Kong . Regrettably the Chief Executive and the Secretary have only kept saying that rent control may result in a shortage of rental residential units and even do a disservice
由於假期相差5天那麼多，我們不斷向政府說，但政府的態度仍然維持不變，並沒有為基層工友做任何事情，容許差異存在，沒有解決問題。
Given the disparity of five days between the two types of holidays we have been constantly urging the Government to make amends . But the attitude of the Government remains unchanged and it fails to do anything for grass - roots workers leaving the disparity unaddressed
我們不斷要求勞工處作出檢討，不斷要求每年一檢，但勞工處只是告訴我，政府設有"一年一檢"的機制，在有需要時才會進行"一年一檢"，即經濟環境很差時才會"一年一檢"。
We have been constantly demanding LD to conduct an annual review once but it merely tells us that the Government has put in place a mechanism to conduct an annual review and it will only invoke the mechanism when necessary that is in a sluggish economic environment
在預算案公布之前，"財爺"在網誌撰文，指出住屋、醫療、安老院舍等都是現時社會的痛點，難以單靠錢來化解問題，政府有必要找出問題核心，對症下藥。
Before the Budget is announced the Financial Secretary said in his blog that housing health care and residential care homes for the elderly RCHEs issues are the difficult problems of society at present which cannot be simply resolved with money and it is necessary for the Government to identify the crux of each problem and address it in a targeted manner
我們明白錢不是萬能，但錢是最基本要投入的資源，如果沒有錢就萬萬不能，而且我們亦不是要他即時化解問題。
We understand that money is not a panacea but money is the most basic kind of resource that needed to be injected and we can do nothing without money . Besides we are not asking him to resolve the problems immediately
我們看到香港目前的房屋供應問題仍然是公私營供應失衡，政府一直強調覓地困難，口裏說為了市民安居會盡量做工夫，所以花萬億元在東大嶼進行填海工程，但問題是這樣花錢造地，是否真的可以達到效益呢？
We learn that Hong Kongs current housing supply problem still lies in the imbalance between public supply and private supply . The Government has been emphasizing the difficulty in identify land . Saying that it will try its best to offer comfortable places for the public to live the Government is going to spend 1,000 billion on the reclamation project at east Lantau
今次預算案花了不少篇幅解釋本港經濟如何受環球金融波動所影響，所以政府要支援金融和保險業界。
This Budget has explained at length how the Hong Kong economy is affected by the volatility in the global financial markets and thus the Government has to support the financial and insurance sectors
儘管這些土地零散和面積細小，但總共有900公頃的地方，政府為何不多想一些方法以進行工作呢？
Although these land sites are fragmented and small in size there is still a total of 900 hectares of land . Why does the Government not think of any method to carry out some work on them?
我建議政府，例如把這些土地用來興建過渡性房屋，因為我們在殖民地時代也有臨時房屋區。
I would suggest the Government using these land sites for example for the construction of transitional housing as there were also temporary housing areas during the colonial era
