最近，有工商界人士向我反映，他們實在十分氣憤，因為政府在近年實施的多項政策和措施均會影響本地的營商環境，例如每兩年調高一次最低工資，並且加幅一點也不低，使許多中小企十分吃力。
Recently some members of the business sector have relayed to me their anger over the various government policies and measures implemented in the last couple of years which had impacts on the local business environment . For example the statutory minimum wage is adjusted upward biennially while the rate of increase is not low at all . Many SMEs can barely stand that
我希望政府公平對待商界，不要為了討好公眾而貿然改變市場秩序，藥石亂投不但無法解決問題，更會影響商界人士的投資意欲，結果令市民空歡喜一場。
I just hope the Government can be fair to the business sector and will not rashly alter the order of the market purely to please the public . Making insensible decisions is no solution to the problems . It will only affect the investment appetite of the business sector and end up with members of the public having rejoiced prematurely
除投入資源之外，政府還有甚麼可以做呢？
To this end what else can the Government do apart from deploying resources?
雖然香港一直以低稅率吸引企業和人才來港，但本地樓價及物價均高企，除衣、食、住、行外，整體生活成本仍然十分高。
Although the low tax rates in Hong Kong have been an attraction that serve to draw both enterprises and talents to come here the local property prices and consumer goods prices are still at their peaks . Putting aside the expenses on clothing food housing and transport the overall cost of living here is still very high
就以荷蘭為例，雖然當地稅率較高，但為了吸引外國人才，荷蘭政府提供一項名為"30%-ruling"的外國人才免稅優惠。
Let us refer to the example of the Netherlands . Despite the high tax rates in the Netherlands the Dutch Government has put in place an employment tax law facility known as 30 % - ruling that grants tax exemption to talents hired abroad by local employers to work in the Netherlands
當全世界也在爭奪人才之際，香港的生活成本及樓價卻是全球最高，試問我們憑甚麼吸引和挽留人才呢？
While the global talent war is going on the cost of living and property prices in Hong Kong are among the highest in the world . As such on what basis are we supposed to be able to attract and retain talents may I ask?
時下年輕人常說的一句話："生存以上，生活以下"，真的道出了不少香港市民的心聲。
There is a popular phrase among the young people nowadays Above survival but below living . This can indeed reflect the true feelings of many Hong Kong people
然而，在未來的一年，香港的經濟其實充滿隱憂：中美貿易戰和英國脫歐的新聞日日新鮮，不知何時才能談得攏，又或忽然出現分歧。
In the year ahead however Hong Kongs economy is in fact awash with concerns We are constantly astounded by news about the latest development of the Sino - United States trade war as well as the issue of Brexit since no one can tell when those parties concerned will come to terms or be at loggerheads with one other

面對種種不明朗因素，工商界的營商環境並不太樂觀，尤其中小微企，更是需要政府支持和提供支援。
Given the various uncertainties the business environment of the commercial and industrial sectors looks quite unfavourable for the SMEs in particular which need support and assistance from the Government
許多人認為並不健康，亦不理想，因為當物業市場不能有效流轉，則不論是置業抑或融資周轉，均十分困難。
Many people do not think so . In fact they find the situation undesirable because it will be exceptionally difficult for them to acquire homes or seek financing to resolve liquidity problems when the turnover of properties in the property market becomes ineffective
事實上，他已做了不少準備工夫，盡量聆聽各界的意見。
In fact he has done a lot of preparatory work and tried to listen to the views of all quarters of society
工商界多年來默默耕耘，支持特區政府依法施政，但聲音大的不一定就有道理，而商界不發聲亦不等同沒有意見、可予取予求、甚麼都可以向工商界"開刀"。
In contrast members of the commercial and industrial sectors have been working quietly for years to support the SAR Government in implementing polices in compliance with the law . Nevertheless loud noises are not necessarily sensible . Although the commercial and industrial sectors remain silent that does not mean they have no objection or can be taken advantage of in that any sort of support for them can be cut
因應大灣區將在未來給香港各界，包括工商界、市民，尤其年輕人發展的好機遇，我們應好好把握良機。
In response to the various valuable opportunities to be offered by the Greater Bay Area to all quarters of our society including the commercial and industrial sectors the general public and the young people in particular we should make good use of the golden opportunity

For individual investors how will they possibly place green finance higher on their list of priorities in their investment process say purchasing green bonds or considering the value of a company as reflected by its environmental social and governance ESG performance?

主席，我想先藉此機會，感謝醫護界人員在整個抗疫行動中幫了香港市民一大把忙，我亦認為政府的政策有成效。
President first of all I would like to take this opportunity to thank members in the healthcare sector for their immense help offered to Hong Kong people during the entire anti - epidemic initiative . I also think that the Governments policies have proved to be effective
雖然政府現時已就此進行多項工作，但我認為如果可以盡快作出安排，可以幫助香港。
While the Government has already done a lot on this I hold that expeditious adoption of relevant arrangements can really help Hong Kong a lot
此外，大家亦注意到三地的疫情......
Besides we also note the development of the epidemic in the three places
主席，廖長江議員剛才發言時多次批評民主派同事"拉布"，容許我稍作回應。
Chairman Mr Martin LIAO has repeatedly criticized pan - democratic Members for filibustering during his speech just now . Please allow me to respond briefly
主席，我們希望各位議員繼續就關心的議題代表市民發聲。
We hope that all Members will continue to speak on issues of their concern on behalf of the public
主席，我想問局長，他說廉署可以搜查及拘捕賄選的人，但整個"種票"和"買票"的過程均在大陸進行，涉案人長居大陸，廉署並沒有跨境執法和調查的權力，他現在是否期望大陸公安會協助廉署調查保皇黨在大陸的"種票"和"買票"活動？
President I would like to ask the Secretary this He said that ICAC could search and arrest people who engaged in electoral bribes . But the whole process of vote rigging and vote buying would be carried out in the Mainland with the people involved residing in the Mainland . ICAC does not have cross - border enforcement and investigative powers
我們所屬選區的九龍東、黃大仙和觀塘，也有很多樓宇出現這5個問題。
In Wong Tai Sin and Kwun Tong within my Kowloon East constituency these five problems are common in many buildings
其實，除了《條例》帶來眾多問題外，業主在處理樓宇翻新、強制驗窗驗樓時也同樣遇到這些問題。
In fact in addition to the many problems arising from the Ordinance owners have also encountered these problems when undertaking building renovation works and mandatory window and building inspections
例如光是招標、聘用顧問及承建商等第一步工作，很多業主已不知從何入手；莫說是同事剛才說的"三無"問題。
In many instances owners do not know where to start in respect of such preliminary work as inviting tenders and engaging consultants and contractors not to mention the three - nil problems mentioned by some colleagues just now
再者，政府部門互相配合有助解決問題，通過跨部門協作，業主遇到的問題很大機會得到改善。
Furthermore coordination among government departments can help solve problems . Through inter - departmental collaboration the problems encountered by owners can probably be improved
主席，特首剛才就領取長者綜援的合資格年齡由60歲提高至65歲的回應，我相信將受新措施影響的"老友記"聽到後會非常失望。
President the Chief Executives response regarding the raise in eligible age for elderly Comprehensive Social Security Assistance CSSA from 60 to 65 will I believe bring disappointment to our old pals who will be affected by the new measure
"特首，你會如何回應？
Chief Executive how would you respond to this?
主席，特首，其實我們已多番向相關政策局表達意見，但很可惜，政策局的人左耳入，右耳出，聽完等於沒有聽，只是一味堅持一句話，便是現時的就業支援可以解決我們擔心的問題。
President Chief Executive in fact we have repeatedly expressed our views to the relevant bureaux; yet our words only went in one ear of the Bureau officials and out the other as if they have fallen on deaf ears . They insisted that the employment support currently provided is capable of addressing our concerns
因此，我希望政府官員採用嶄新的思維，及早規劃，為九龍東設立短、中、長期的措施，不要對我們一直以來提出的意見和想法置之不理。
Therefore I hope that government officials will think out of the box and make early planning by formulating short - medium - and long - term measures for Kowloon East . They should not disregard the views and ideas raised by us all along
面對疫情和經濟低迷，我理解政府的施政困難重重。
In the face of the epidemic and economic downturn I understand that the Government has faced great difficulties in administration
我不介意他們微服出巡，因為通 常在司局長以至特首落區前，必定會有人先處理好一些棘手問題，"清洗太平地"。
I do not mind if they pay surprise visits as certain tricky problems would usually be dealt with or cleaned up before the Secretaries of Departments Bureau Director or even the Chief Executive visit the districts
我建議官員微服出巡，到茶餐廳聆聽街坊對現時的施政的看法，或嘗試乘搭巴士因為各位司局長皆有司機接送聆聽市民對於公共交通政策的意見。
I suggest that public officers should pay surprise visits go to Hong Kong style cafes to listen to the views of kaifongs on the existing administration or ride on a bus―because all Secretaries of Departments and Bureau Directors have chauffeurs―to listen to peoples views on public transport policy . President firm determination requires strong will
然而，重點是無論晴天、雨天或陰天，中央都給予香港無條件的支持及無私的幫忙，並提出一系列措施支持香港，讓香港渡過每個難關。
All these incidents have great impacts on Hong Kong people . And yet come rain or shine the Central Government has provided Hong Kong with unconditional support and selfless assistance . It has also introduced a series of supportive measures to help Hong Kong tide over all difficulties
我經常說，國家對香港的支持自回歸以來已經充分體現。
As I often say the countrys support for Hong Kong since the reunification has been fully manifested
主席，我有一個期望。
President I have an expectation
主席，我經常在地區和不同的宣傳層面說民生無小事。
President as I have often said at the district level and during different publicity campaigns no livelihood problems are trivial
我和民建聯較早前曾就施政報告進行一項問卷調查，在此亦感謝香港各大傳媒昨天均有報道。
Some time ago the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB and I conducted a questionnaire survey on the Policy Address and I would like to thank the major media in Hong Kong for their coverage yesterday
第二，港鐵車費的八折優惠延長至2021年3月。
Second the extension of the 20 % MTR fare rebate to March 2021
主席，綜合整項調查，我有三句說話想送給特區政府：第一句我連紙牌也做好，司長，你現在望過來正好"惠民措施見用心，只差失業援助金"。
President to sum up the entire survey I would like to present three remarks to the SAR Government . I have even made a cardboard . Chief Secretary I am glad that you are now looking at me
這兩句說話充分體現現時香港人的無奈、欷歔和絕望。
The above remark fully reflects the current mood of Hong Kong people ie . being helpless sad and despair
每次有確診個案，我們會立即落區，真的是日以繼夜地工作。

主席，近年香港的政治風波不斷，歸根究底是政治問題。
President the incessant political disputes in Hong Kong in recent years can be attributed in the final analysis to political factors
主席，我理解政府遇到很多困難，包括造價或研究方面，但擺在眼前的是官員提出的替代方案，實在令我百思不得其解。
President I understand that the Government has encountered many difficulties both in terms of cost and studies but the present alternative proposal put forward by public officers is indeed incomprehensible
我想為失業人士雪中送炭，總好過透過借貸加重他們的壓力。
I think offering timely help to the unemployed is better than adding to their pressure through loans
代理主席，具體的做法我個人同意陸頌雄議員提出的方案。他的方案比我們民建聯的建議更進取，因為他提出了即時推出失業或停工的現金津貼，上限為9,000元，發放期為6個月，可以幫失業人士"止血"，這個做法值得考慮。
Deputy President I personally agree with the specific measures in Mr LUK Chung - hungs proposal which are more aggressive than that proposed by us from the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong because he proposed to immediately introduce a cash allowance for unemployment and suspension of work subject to a ceiling of 9,000 for a six - month payment period . This measure can help the unemployed stop the bleeding and is worth considering
有求職平台上月進行過一 項調查，指有近一成半受訪者表示失業，在失業期間找新工作平均需時超過半年。
A survey conducted by a job search platform last month indicated that nearly 15 % of the respondents were unemployed and it took more than half a year on average to find a new job
半年時間說短不短，說長不長，但對手停口停的失業家庭來說，便是非常痛苦。
Half a year is neither too short nor too long but it can be miserable for unemployed families that live hand - to - mouth
政府提出了"失業貸款"的措施，預期申請會踴躍，但我認為這不值得高興。
It is expected that there will be an overwhelming number of applications for the unemployment loan offered by the Government but I do not think we should feel elated
因為計劃開展首3天已接到7,000份申請，其中一間參與銀行更表示申請宗數每天上升，似乎很踴躍，但我認為這種踴躍不值得政府和勞工及福利局局長羅致光感到高興。
About 7 000 applications have been received in the first three days since the scheme has been opened for application . One of the participating banks even stated that the number of applications is increasing every day . The response seems overwhelming but I think the Government and Secretary for Labour and Welfare Dr LAW Chi - kwong should not feel happy about this
主席，香港嬰兒出生至學童時期，要打各種針、每年做一些免費體檢，但為何成年後就不需要呢？
President from birth to school days young children in Hong Kong are required to receive various vaccinations and undergo free health checks every year but why are they not required to do so in adulthood?
不要全部都由民間主導，政府也要有一定角色。
Instead of solely relying on a community - led approach the Government should also have a role to play
特首在土地房屋問題上迎難而上，我希望在安老、醫療和社會規劃等方面也能夠以嶄新思維面對。
While the Chief Executive is rising to challenges posed by the land and housing problems I hope that she can also address such areas as elderly care healthcare and social planning with a new mindset
因此，我全力支持陳健波議員的議案。
Therefore I fully support Mr CHAN Kin - pors motion
我本身是銀齡咭相關事宜小組委員會的主席，一直促請政府為"老友記"提供應有的福利；除了65歲以外，更要關注55至64歲中高齡人士的需要。
Being the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Issues Relating to the Silver Age Card I have been urging the Government to provide welfare benefits that the elderly deserve and pay attention to the needs of middle - aged and elderly people in the age range of 55 to 64 in addition to those aged 65
如果有問題才去補救、有需要才去滿足，這種施政理念是絕對不能夠接受的。
If problems are not solved and needs are not fulfilled until they become bigger such a governance concept is absolutely unacceptable
過往曾發生多宗來源不明的冷凍食品在市面出售的個案，導致懵然不知的市民進食後便病從口入。
Cases have been recorded earlier in which frozen foods from unknown sources were sold on the market causing members of the public to inadvertently get sick after consuming the food
這突顯政府在把關工作上欠缺監管力及統籌力，出現漏洞。
This highlighted the inadequacies of the Governments regulatory and coordinating efforts in its gate - keeping work resulting in loopholes
不過，在這過程中，當局有否辦法加強聯繫，讓業戶能夠與房委會的同事進行定期或直接溝通，說出大家的困難呢？
But in the process have the authorities conceived any ways to strengthen liaison and enable tenants to engage in constant or direct communication with HAs staff so that they can voice out their difficulties?
2016年 12月，政府聘用的顧問公司就該幅用地展開為期3年的規劃及工程研究，但該研究至今仍未完成。
In December 2016 a consultant commissioned by the Government commenced a three - year planning and engineering study on such site but the study has not yet been completed to date
我相當理解居民的困擾，因為油塘居民已經身受其害。
I very much understand the residents concern because the residents of Yau Tong are already suffering from it
其實，政府近年在安老服務上，增加了很多資源，在2017-2018年度的安老服務經常性開支，便有78億4,000萬元，較上 年的73億元增加了7.2%。
In fact the Government has substantially increased the resources for its services for the elderly in recent years . For 2017 - 2018 the recurrent expenditure for elderly services will reach 7.84 billion which is 7.2 % more than the 7.3 billion in the previous year
就此，民主建港協進聯盟也曾提出，安老院舍工作必須有更好安排。
In this connection the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong has proposed that better arrangements must be made for RCHEs
政府計劃分階段增加院舍，在未來10年增加接近9,000個院舍宿位。
The Government now plans to increase the number of residential care places by phases expecting to provide an additional 9 000 places in the coming 10 years
因此，政府此時若想加快安排更多長者入住安老院舍，最簡單的做法，便是加強人手、資源，令這些安老院舍即時提升服務質素，達到政府的要求。
Hence if the Government wishes to quicken the pace of arranging residential care places for the elderly the simplest way is to strengthen the manpower and resources in this regard so that these RCHEs can immediately enhance their services to meet the standard required by the Government
我認為大家應該平情而論，就目前醫療人手不足的困境，討論解決方法。
I think we should have a frank discussion on the present plight of insufficient medical manpower and find a solution to it
如果在這方面，我們仍然各持己見，我相信受害的就是市民。
If we insist on our own position I believe we will only make the public suffer
有一些精神病人需要經常服藥，當中有部分在服藥一段時間之後，便覺得自己沒有病，有時偷偷不服藥，甚至放棄服藥，導致再度病發。
Some mental patients need to take medicine . Some of them however may omit some doses or give up taking the medicine altogether on their own accord after a certain period of time thinking that they are cured . This often leads to a relapse of their mental illness
所以，高局長是否會考慮用針藥代替口服藥，摒除現時大家認為口服藥較便宜的錯誤看法呢？
So will Secretary Dr KO consider the possibility of replacing oral medication by injected medication and discard the common misconception that oral medication is cheaper?
今日的重點是，我想問行政長官，完善選舉制度內其中 立法會的組成有90席，即是分"二、三、四"，"二"是20席的直選議席，當時有長者問我這個問題，他說20個直選議席相對90席數量是偏少，如果透過立法會議員去收集市民的意見，怎樣才能夠透過立法會議員去反映市民對政府政策不滿的聲音，或者怎樣才能夠透過立法會議員去督促政府改善施政呢？
Under the improved electoral system the Legislative Council will be composed of 90 seats divided in the ratio of 2col34 and there will be 20 directly elected seats . An elderly person remarked back then that the proportion of 20 directly elected seats out of 90 seats was rather small . He asked how public dissatisfaction with government policies can be reflected by Members of the Legislative Council who are obliged to collect public views or how members of the public can urge the Government to improve its governance through Legislative Council Members
首先，要加強康健中心的角色和職能。
First of all the role and functions of health centres should be strengthened
另外，康健中心的地區網絡服務提供者應把更多醫療專業，例如脊醫和牙醫等納入有關的範疇。
In addition local network providers of health centres should include more medical specialty services such as services provided by chiropractors and dentists in their scope
第二個"新"，便是更新地域的概念，應把整個大灣區納入長者醫療服務的範疇，而不是僅僅局限於香港。
The second new initiative is to update the regional concept and to include the entire Greater Bay Area in the scope of elderly healthcare services instead of being limited to Hong Kong
這方面我也有幾項建議，而政府是應特別重視的。
I also have several suggestions in this regard and the Government should pay special attention to them
第一，是以對數形式建立異地醫療費用報銷機制，令港人在大灣區及其他城市就醫時，可同樣享有本港的醫療福利。
The first is to establish a mechanism for reimbursement of medical expenses in other places and the accounts of different places can be offset against each other so that Hong Kong people can enjoy the same medical benefits in Hong Kong when they seek medical treatment in the Greater Bay Area and other cities
關於這點，我希望局長可以在公眾面前澄清。
With regard to this point I would like the Secretary to make some clarifications in front of the public
行政長官早前表示，為落實全國人民代表大會常務委員會關於《基本法》第一百零四條的解釋，以及《香港國安法》中有關公職人員宣誓的規定，政府正研究修訂《宣誓及聲明條例》和《立法會條例》等本地法例，以完善公職人員宣誓等安排。
The Chief Executive has indicated earlier on that to implement the Interpretation of Article 104 of the Basic Law made by the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress and the requirements of the National Security Law for Hong Kong in respect of oath - taking by public officers the Government is studying the introduction of amendments to the local legislation such as the Oaths and Declarations Ordinance and the Legislative Council Ordinance in order to enhance the arrangements for public officers to take the oath etc
代理主席，根據《區議會條例》第341b條，區議會選舉的候選人需要在提名表格載有或附有一份示明該人會擁護《基本法》和保證效忠香港特區的聲明，才能夠獲得提名及參選資格。
Deputy President pursuant to section 341b of the District Councils Ordinance Cap . 547DCO the nomination form of a candidate for District Council election must include or is accompanied by a declaration to the effect that the person will uphold the Basic Law and pledge allegiance to HKSAR in order to be eligible to be nominated as a candidate for the election
就監警會由衰變盛、由盛變衰，我也想發表一下意見。
Regarding the change of IPCC from decline to prosperity and then to decline I would like to express some views
就其架構而言，從張健利資深大律師、黃福鑫資深大律師到翟紹唐資深大律師，監警會主席均是獨立及德高望重的法律界人士。
In respect of its structure from Mr Edward CHAN Senior Counsel Mr Ronny WONG Senior Counsel to Mr JAT Sew - tong Senior Counsel IPCC Chairmen have all been independent and venerable figures in the legal profession
我認為是由於資深大律師在市民和公眾的印象中，便是獨立及相當專業的人士，不易受社會各方面的壓力影響。
I believe the reason is the public and peoples impression that independent and very professional individuals will not be easily susceptible to various kinds of social pressure
問題就在於近兩三年間，監警會不論在架構或組成上也變得相當政治化。
The crux lies in the considerable politicization of both the structure and membership of IPCC in the last two to three years
委任權力絕對是特首可以運用的權力，非我們可以左右。
The power of appointment is absolutely one that the Chief Executive can exercise and it cannot be swayed by us
可是，當特首以如此狹隘的思維，委任成員加入一個如此重要的法定組織時，這個法定組織的職能便必定會受到嚴重削弱。
However when the Chief Executive appoints members to such an important statutory body with a narrow mindset it is a given that the functions of this statutory body will be seriously undermined
這亦導致監警會秘書處同事大量流失。
It also results in a high turnover of staff of the IPCC secretariat
但大家也看到，監警會無論前線調查人員或支援人員的turnover都非常大。
But it is obvious that there is a high turnover of both frontline investigation personnel and supporting staff
在2014年至2017年，秘書處 所有負責支援工作的同事不斷流失。
From 2014 to 2017 there has been a persistent turnover of all supporting staff in the secretariat
所以，就大部分的個案而言，我認為是可以由警方內部處理的，但有些非常重要的個案，例如朱警司的個案我現在可以提及這宗個案作為例子，因為監警會已經就這宗個案作出最後的決定我認為監警會在一些特別的情況下，絕對需要有獨立的調查權力，然而並不能夠在所有個案中都運用這種獨立調查權力。
Therefore I think most cases can be handled by the Police internally . Yet for some very important cases such as the case of Superintendent CHU―I can quote this case as an example because IPCC has made the final decision about it―I believe IPCC absolutely needs the power of investigation under some special circumstances . However such an independent power cannot apply to all cases
我希望可以就《條例》提出修正案，訂明在特殊的情況下，監警會對於一些社會認為重要的個案可以運用獨立的調查權力，這是十分重要的。
I wish to propose an amendment to the Ordinance to stipulate that under special circumstances IPCC can exercise its independent power of investigation in cases society considers important . It is of crucial importance
但是收入在一定程度上，是不能夠估量的。
However revenue cannot be estimated to a certain extent
主席，我希望政府聽到這一點，在撰寫財政預算案時，必須審視有關假設是甚麼，有關假設是否每個部門實際可行的假設。
President I hope that the Government will listen to this point . When compiling the budget the Government has to review what the relevant assumption is and whether the assumption is realistic for each department
因為我看不到未來3年的財政預算案會有任何盈餘，未來3年應該都是有赤字的財政預算案，但政府現有的儲備其實也不是太多盈餘，只有8,000億元。
This is because in the coming three years I can only see budget deficits but not surpluses . However the existing reserve of the Government is only 800 billion which is not much
在社會嚴重分化的氣氛下，法庭判決必然會受到公眾關注和評論。
Amidst severe social division court judgments will inevitably draw public attention and comments
司法人員推薦委員會由9名人士組成，由現任終審法院首席法官擔任當然主席、律政司司長擔任當然委員，其餘7名成員由行政長官委任，當中包括2名法官、1名大律師、1名律師，以及3名與法律執業無關的人士。
JORC shall consist of nine members comprising the incumbent Chief Justice of CFA as ex - officio Chairman the Secretary for Justice as ex - officio member and seven members appointed by the Chief Executive of whom two shall be judges one shall be a barrister one shall be a solicitor and three shall be persons not connected with the practice of law
