Moreover LCSD encourages and supports the organization of more activities by all national sports associations to increase the scale and contents of the existing activities to commemorate the 20 anniversary of the establishment of HKSAR
如果削減康文署舉辦有關活動的預算開支，市民將會失去參與和觀賞相關節目的機會。
If the estimated expenditures for LCSD to organize the relevant activities are reduced the public will miss the opportunity to participate in and enjoy the relevant programmes
就教育部分，有部分議員提出修正案，議決削減教育局局長及同事的薪酬，以及小三基本能力評估研究計劃的預算開支，政府反對這些修正案。
In regard to education some Members have proposed amendments to reduce the emoluments of the Secretary for Education and his colleagues and the estimated expenditures on the Primary Three Basic Competency Assessment Research Study BCA . The Government opposes these amendments
這些均成為我們近年制訂主要教育政策，例如優質幼稚園教育、職業專才教育、電子學習、STEM教育及生涯規劃等的借鑒，使政策更有效及快速地訂立和推行。
We have drawn reference on such understanding when we developed major education policies in recent years including the policies on quality kindergarten education vocational and professional education e - learning STEM education and career and life planning hence policies can be developed and implemented more effectively and expeditiously
另一方面，我們向國際教育界展示香港教育的成就，並且拓展和增加香港與其他地方的教育聯繫和合作，鞏固本港作為區域教育樞紐的角色，特別是學生交流實習的機會，促進人才交流。
On the other hand we also showcase the achievements of education in Hong Kong to the international education community as well as expand and increase the connection and cooperation between Hong Kong and other places in respect of education so as to consolidate Hong Kongs role as a regional education hub . In particular we provide opportunities for students exchanges and internship and promote talent exchange
我亦與同事不時應邀代表香港特區政府出席在世界各地舉行的國際教育論壇或研討會，與來自世界各地的教育界人士和官員就教育政策進行交流，並且探討教育政策和教學專業的未來發展方向，以至雙邊合作的可行性。
From time to time my colleagues and I have been invited to attend on behalf of the HKSAR Government the international education forums or seminars held around the world to exchange views with members from the education sector and officials from different places and countries explore the future direction of development of education policies and the teaching profession as well as the feasibility of bilateral cooperation
每次外訪，我都與當地的香港留學生會面交流，關心及了解他們在當地的學習和生活的情況，鼓勵他們學成後回港工作，為香港的未來作出貢獻。
During each visit I meet with and have exchanges with students from Hong Kong to show our concern about their studies and living as well as encourage them to return to Hong Kong for work after they finish their studies so as to contribute to Hong Kongs future
此外，近年國家在經濟科技方面的發展迅速，加上"一帶一路"倡議落實，為香港帶來前所未有的新機遇，為香港的學生開拓更廣更闊的出路，以及更多發展機會。
Furthermore our country has attained rapid economic and technological developments in recent years and the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative has brought unprecedented opportunities to Hong Kong providing a wider pathway for Hong Kong students as well as more development opportunities
例如去年成立的粵港澳高校聯盟，就為未來工作和拓展等各方面建立有效平台。
For instance the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macau University Alliance set up last year provides an effective platform for future work and development of university graduates
有關建議獲得學校、家長和辦學團體的支持和共識。
The proposals have been endorsed by schools parents and school sponsoring bodies
研究計劃的整體工作進展順利。
The Research Study is proceeding smoothly
2016試行計劃有多項措施移除操練的誘因，包括改良題目的設計。
The 2016 Tryout Study has a number of measures to remove the incentives for drilling including improving the design of questions
參與試行計劃的學校和家長均反映不用為參與計劃而進行任何操練，整體的回饋是很正面的。
Schools and parents who participated in the Tryout Study indicated that no drilling was conducted for the Tryout Study and the overall feedback was very positive
2017年推出的基本能力評估研究計劃的資料，不會用作我強調不會用作評量學校的表現，學校無須進行額外操練。
The results of BCA implemented in 2017 will not―I stress again―be used to assess the performance of schools; thus there is no need for schools to conduct additional drilling
教育局一直表明立場，絕不認同為了準備TSA或BCA等評估而做額外補充練習，所以已清楚表明官立小學不會為準備TSA或BCA而購買任何特別的補充練習，而是會善用網上資源和評估資料，以提升學生的學習效能。
The Education Bureau has always indicated its stance that additional supplementary exercises should not be conducted to prepare for TSA or BCA assessment . All public primary schools will not purchase any special supplementary exercises to prepare for TSA or BCA; they will only make good use of online resources and assessment information to enhance students learning effectiveness
我希望在此再次強調，2017年基本能力評估研究計劃，是在獲得業界從專業角度考慮，經全面諮詢校長、老師及家長後，在各方有共識的情況下推出的。
Let me reiterate the 2017 BCA is implemented after a consensus has been reached after the sector has considered from a professional perspective and principals teachers and parents have been comprehensively consulted
有關羅冠聰議員提出的修正案，建議削減大學教育資助委員會不同項目的預算開支，政府反對這些修正案。
The amendments proposed by Mr Nathan LAW seek to reduce the estimated expenditures on different projects of the University Grants Committee UGC . The Government opposes these amendments
教資會的主要職能，是就本港高等教育的撥款和發展，向政府提供持平的專家意見，並向政府和社會人士保證，各教資會資助院校的運作及教學活動，既保持優良水準，亦符合成本效益。
The main function of UGC is to offer impartial expert advice to the Government on the allocation of funding to and the development of higher education in Hong Kong . It also assures the Government and the community that the operation and teaching activities of UGC - funded institutions have maintained good standards and are cost - effective
教資會致力促進各院校、政府和社會各界之間的了解，並在院校和政府當局之間協調有關高等教育的事務。
UGC seeks to promote understanding among institutions the Government and the community at large and it mediates between institutions and the Administration in respect of higher education
教資會一方面維護院校的學術自由和自主權，另一方面確保公帑用得其所。
On the one hand UGC safeguards the academic freedom and institutional autonomy of institutions while on the other it ensures value for money for taxpayers
教資會及其秘書處必須擁有足夠資源，才能應付其 負責的各種重要工作。
UGC and its Secretariat must have sufficient resources to carry out the important work in various areas
羅議員有關削減教資會會議及人手開支的修正案如獲通過，將會嚴重妨礙教資會的正常運作，為高等教育界和師生的福祉帶來重大的負面影響。
If Mr LAWs amendments to reduce UGC meetings and its manpower expenditures are passed the normal operation of UGC will be seriously hampered; higher education and the well - being of teachers and students will also be significantly affected
最後，有議員問到，在本周初舉行的公聽會，為何教育局局長只出席了一節，之後便缺席。
Lastly some Members have queried why I only attended one session of the public hearing held at the beginning of this week and was absent from the other two sessions
我希望大家明白，香港的商會有很多活動，與他們接觸可加強生涯規劃教育，特別是有助增加學生的實習機會及對行業的認識。
I hope Members will understand as merchants associations in Hong Kong have organized many activities maintaining close contacts with them will be conducive to life planning education especially creating more internship opportunities for students and enhancing their understanding of the sector
這方面的接觸和了解十分重要。
Such contacts and understanding are very important
所以，我向大家保證，我的時間是用得其所，有其價值的。
Hence I assure Members that my time is spent well with constructive value
我特此作出這項澄清。
I hereby make this clarification
主席，我謹此陳辭，懇請各位議員否決第6項合併辯論中所涉及的各項修正案。
With these remarks Chairman I implore Members to vote against the amendments in the sixth joint debate
"意思是，香港每5年便會出現新的經濟發展方針，以及想發展新產業。
What I mean is that once every five years we can hear a new economic development direction for Hong Kong and the intention to develop new industries
代理主席，你應該是在2008年加入本會的。
Deputy Chairman you probably joined the legislature in 2008
香港面對最大的轉變是有大量資本從大陸湧入，這些湧入香港的資本引起了甚麼變化呢？
The greatest change in Hong Kong is the huge influx of Mainland capital . What changes have been brought about by the influx of Mainland capital into Hong Kong?
問題其實很簡單，如果資訊不平衡，會令交易不平衡。
This is simple . Uneven access to information will lead to an unfair transaction
代理主席也曾在行政會議做事，在行政會議內，無事不可議，即任何事情都可以討論，所有成員都有權發言，亦有權聽，也關乎發言後是否有力，會否令所說的話變做事實。
The Deputy Chairman herself was a member of the Executive Council before . In the Executive Council members are free to talk about or listen to virtually everything without restriction . All members have the rights to speak and listen and it all depends on the muscle of the speakers as to whether the words can be realized
老實說，每位議員，每人就一項議題說一次，都不止這個時間。
Honestly the time allocated is definitely not enough if all 70 Members in this Council opt to speak on each topic
所以，我們監察政府的權力已經被主席的"裁布"剝奪殆盡。
Therefore the Presidents move to cut off the filibuster has effectively deprived us of our power to monitor the Government
書歸正傳，提到創新及科技，楊局長，你可否設計一個程式，幫我們掌握大數據，為何我們的基本工程經常超支？
Let me now return to the topic . Speaking of innovation and technology can Secretary Nicholas YANG design a programme to enable us the ability to make use of big data and find out the reasons for the frequent cost overruns of our infrastructure projects?
因為現在時常出現爭拗，有些人說"拉布"導致超支；有些人說不是，是工資上漲，也正如姚松炎議員剛才所說，根據國際機構指出，如果有用家向市場表示將要大興土木，即有人說，他將會買5,000對鞋，都是用鱷魚皮造的鞋。
Some people ascribe this to filibuster while others attribute this to increase in wages . On the other hand as Dr YIU Chung - yim has explained just now an international institution pointed out that if a certain user announces to the market its plan to commence a series of construction projects the cost will certainly inflate . Say if someone announces that he will procure 5 000 shoes all made of crocodile skin then the price of crocodile skin will absolutely go up
局長可否做一個這樣的分析，用大數據幫香港人？
Can the Secretary help Hong Kong people by applying big data on such an analysis?
不過，香港一個如此先進的城市，創新及科技，高科技可以令我們創新，配合整個大數據的組合，令我們的經濟會發展。
So for such an advanced city like Hong Kong we can utilize our innovation and high technology as an effective too in boosting our creativity thereby bringing our economy forward with the support of big data
請你搞搞這個，幫助我們減少超支。
Please give this a go in order to help us avoid cost overruns
大家可能覺得，"長毛"只在空說話，超支有多嚴重？
Members may think that Long Hair has no point here . You may wonder how serious cost overruns can be
我數一數：廣深港高鐵香港段、港珠澳大橋香港段工程、西九文化區、港鐵沙中線工程、蓮塘/香園圍口岸與相關工程、機場第三條跑道，但這個還未興建。
Let me have a count the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge Hong Kong Projects the West Kowloon Cultural District the MTR Shatin to Central Link projects LiantangHeung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point and associated works as well as the Three Runway System though this one is not yet built
是1,201億元。這個可謂驚人的數字。
The answer is 120.1 billion an exorbitant figure
如果一間公司是這樣，便會倒閉，代理主席，你明白嗎？
If this happens to a company it would have closed down already . Deputy Chairman do you understand this?
換言之，一個社會整體人口的勞動，無論是基於腦力勞動或體力勞動，對於如何更適切的分配他們創造的新財富，令整個社會整體力量向上升，由此在創造財富的過程中，為未來創造更多財富之餘，也有一個重新適切的分配。
Money is made for spending . In other words the essence of labour in a society is that regardless of whether it is mental or physical labour we must search for a way to better distribute the new wealth created by us all so as to strengthen society as a whole thereby creating more wealth in future which will also be distributed fairly
我們對大學的投資，在與我們同等國力和經濟實力的地區中，我們是少一半的。
Our funding for universities only equals to half of the levels granted to universities in regions comparable to us in terms of power and economic might
如何為自己的將來打算？
How are they able to plan for their own future?
這一個制度，我們現在所說的制度，令少數人發達？
The present system this particular system under discussion really serves to enrich a minor portion of people only
我說了很多次，土地有價，土地是大家的，作為自然資源，如果用人類的勞動，令土地有經濟價值時，這是需要大家勞動的。
As I have repeatedly pointed out land has its value . Land in the territory belongs to the people as natural resources . It requires human labour to derive economic value from land
那麼，工人這麼辛苦開拓土地，這麼辛苦令一塊自然的資源，變為有價格之財給你們漁利，甚或把它證券化炒賣，他們得到的是甚麼？
In this case after the workers have worked hard to create value from natural lands for your profits or securitizing the land for your speculation what do they get in return?
這就是我們 討論經濟的最根本原因，不是單單創造更多財富，而是創造更多可以讓人類使用的資源。
This is the fundamental purpose for our discussion about economics . We do not aim only for creating more wealth but resources to be used by people
河套說的是土地，不是高新科技，是霸地、圈地。
When it comes to the Loop we mean land instead of high technology
前海如是，我們要令土地有價，代理主席，尤其是與深圳相連的土地，即是向着我們新界西北東北的土地有價。
We mean illegal occupation and enclosure of land . The same is true for Qianhai . We have to create value from land especially the plots of land adjacent to Shenzhen Deputy Chairman that is the lands facing North West and North East New Territories
因此，我們要興建大量我們剛才提及的"大白象"，十居其九就是要駁往內地，從而產生雙向作用。
Therefore we have to construct a lot of white elephants mentioned just now by us in which nine out of ten projects serve to connect the Mainland with a view to creating mutual effects on one another
我們的經濟令到最有錢的人可以購買一些民生必須商品，例如土地、樓房，以至超市或其他公共交通事業。
The economy enables the most wealthy group to procure necessities like lands and properties or even supermarkets or other public utilities
代理主席，林鄭月娥說要修補社會撕裂，但社會撕裂的最根本原因就是貧富懸殊，而貧富懸殊又源於有權和無權，有太多權和有太少權的問題。
Deputy Chairman Carrie LAM claims that she wishes to resolve the conflicts in society . However the deep cause of social conflicts is disparity between the rich and the poor which is itself a result of the disparity between those who have power and those who have not or those having too much power and those having too less
如果我們討論經濟學不只提到貨值學，即怎樣令某些人得到更多資本或貨幣，用以買一些他不需要但別人需要的東西，然後賣給需要的人，從而取得更多財富。
The current discussion about economy focuses on prices of goods only which deals with ways to generate more capital or money for someone to purchase goods needed by others but not by his own . He will then sell such goods to others who are in need of those goods thereby further accumulating his wealth
根據希臘哲學或經國濟世的思想，經濟的本源就是要把大家齊心協力創做的財富和資源，分配得平均一些。
In the light of Greek philosophy or the thinking of caring for the peoples well - being the very origin of economy refers to all the peoples collective effort to create wealth and resources for a relatively fair distribution
我們的銀行被人買光了。
The banks in our city are all acquired by foreign owners
至於恒生指數成分股，大陸資本則越來越多，快要佔六成了。
As for the Hang Seng Index Mainland companies are having a larger share day by day and they now account for almost 60 % of the weight
整個經濟就是政府將香港的公共財政盈餘，就像"薯片"曾俊華一樣，說我們要設立一個未來基金，指香港人將來老去，沒錢起基建，他們便會死，先把土地基金的錢加在一起撥進去，以免我們推行全民退休保障。
Our entire economy is in fact a system under which the Government transfers Hong Kongs financial reserves to a Future Fund as proposed by Uncle Pringles John TSANG . He claimed that Hong Kong people cannot survive if they are short of money for building more infrastructure when they grow old in the future . They start by adding the money from the Land Fund into the pool lest we will spend it on implementing universal retirement protection
所以，我認為，如果真要在財政預算案中做到我剛才說到經國濟世的經濟學，我們便應該將用作興建"大白象"工程的錢拿來作教育、退休......以及社區建設之用。
In my view by introducing the Budget if we really wish to realize the kind of economy which takes care of the peoples welfare we should allocate the funding for the white elephants on education retirement protection and community development instead
凱恩斯主義的興起是由於需求不足，市場出現資金陷阱，人民根本不知錢在何方，造成信貸危機，不敢借錢。
The Keynesian Theory emerged at a time when there was insufficient demand and there were capital traps in the market . As people did not know where the money has gone a credit crisis was triggered and people dared not borrow money
現在的新狀況則是資金膨脹， 所以今天無需引用凱思斯主義的貨幣陷阱、資本陷阱原理討論問題，因為我們太有錢了。
However capital expansion is the new status now and hence there is no need for us to apply the principles of currency trap and capital trap under the Keynesian Theory in our discussions today since we have too much money
如今的問題在於錢太多卻不知要花在哪兒，我在討論香港的經濟動力時已經說過，我們的經濟動力其實很簡單，那便是中國在加入WTO後，在世界資本主義市場所佔的份額便越來越大。
The problem with us now is that we have too much money and do not know where it should be spent and I have already spoken on this problem when discussions were held on the economic impetus of Hong Kong . Our economic impetus is in fact very simple after Chinas accession to the World Trade Organization its share in the capitalist world market is getting bigger and bigger
我的意思是，當整體社會的欠債，尤其是國家的欠債越來越多，其代價便是增長越來越慢，即使不出現傳統的滯脹，亦即通貨膨脹加上經濟停滯不前甚至負增長，這種增長放緩也是一種滯脹的情況。
What I am saying is that when the debt rate of a society a country in particular is increasing on the whole a price has to be paid and it will be reflected in a declining growth rate . Although China does not have a typical situation of stagflation caused by inflation plus a stagnant economy and even a negative growth a decelerated growth like this is also an indication of stagflation
處於這種環境之下，整個經濟布局按梁振英所說，不論是超級代理人還是背靠祖國，意思都是要跟着大陸走。
Under such circumstances the overall economic situation requires us to follow the leadership of Mainland China and no matter how LEUNG Chun - ying puts it be it the super - connector or leveraging on the Mainland the underlying meaning is the same
於是，主席，最好就是購買一些據說非常短缺的商品，那便是土地和樓房。
Therefore Chairman the best way is to invest in some commodities which are said to be in acute short supply and they are land and property
所以，現在說甚麼經濟轉型，全都是浪費時間。
It is thus a waste of time talking about economic restructure here
我不曾聽過有一個地方，其的士牌也可以炒賣，而且牌價較車價高出那麼多。
Never have I heard of a place where people can engage in speculation activities on the tender premium of a taxi licence and the licence premium can be so much higher than the price of a taxi
我不知會否真的"炒燶"，但這亦是梁振英何以誇誇其談，提出"港人港地"直至其名存實亡之後，接着又提出買樓的"雙辣招"。
Investors will only stop when a huge loss is incurred but I wonder if this will really happen . This is the reason why LEUNG Chun - ying has been indulging in empty talks proposing the policy of Hong Kong property for Hong Kong residents until it has ceased to exist except in name only and then introducing the double harsh measures to tackle the problem of exorbitant property prices
這便是我今天多次提到，將香港最短缺的資源變成尋租活動的載體，繼續下去便可解釋為何我們要千方百計搞基建。
As I have mentioned many times today when resources which are in the shortest supply in Hong Kong have turned into the means of rent - seeking activities and such activities are allowed to continue we would then be able to understand why a lot of efforts have been made to take forward infrastructure projects
除了提前實行"一帶一路"，以真金白銀購入人家的過剩產能及其他過剩物資之外，土地的有價也一定與其使用方便有關。
Apart from the early implementation of the Belt and Road Initiatives and acquiring excess capacity and other excess materials from other places with hard cash the price of land is also definitely connected with the convenience in using the land
儘管在我們而言沒有甚麼意義，但這些工程在未來可在經濟上，藉土地有價而變成資產，得以用作證券化、炒賣，甚至成為結構性產品，這些錢是為此而花的。
This may not be very meaningful to us but it is possible that such projects may economically turn into assets in the future because of their land value and they may then be used for securitization and speculation or even become structured products . The money contributed is actually used for such purposes
人也是環境的一部分，而且與環境的關係非常密切，既會被環境影響，亦可以影響環境。
Human beings are a part of the environment and there is a very close relationship between human beings and the environment . They will be affected by the environment but will also create impact on the environment
提出這項修正案，最主要是要針對政府一直以來大興土木，對大型旅遊基建或整體旅遊業發展的藍圖或方向作出批評。
The main objective of proposing this amendment is to express my criticisms on the launching of massive construction projects by the Government and the blueprints or directions it has formulated for implementing major tourism infrastructure projects or planning on the overall development of the tourism industry
根據經濟發展事務委員會的文件，政府聲稱為提高本港整體旅客接待能力及旅遊吸引力，因此必須發展很多旅遊基建，而未來需要繼續發展的項目包括香港迪士尼樂園擴建、發展大嶼山、"飛躍啟德"和邊境購物城等計劃。
In a paper submitted to the Panel on Economic Development the Government stated that in order to enhance the overall receiving capacity and attractiveness of the tourism industry in Hong Kong it would be necessary to develop a series of tourism infrastructural facilities . Development projects to be taken forward include the expansion of the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort Disneyland Lantau development Kai Tak Fantasy and the shopping centre at the border area
旅遊業本身是香港的支柱產業，我相信沒有人會否定其重要性，亦沒有人會完全反對發展旅遊業。
The tourism industry is a pillar industry of Hong Kong and I think no one will deny its importance and completely oppose the development of the tourism industry
發展旅遊業當然是無可厚非，但是，我反對以發展旅遊業為名，將城市規劃士紳化、貴族化，扼殺原有的庶民環境和自然環境，令政府賠了公帑，卻又禍害了環境和民生。
There is of course nothing wrong with tourism development but I object to making urban planning serve the privileged few in the name of developing tourism thus sacrificing the space for common people and the natural environment and costing the Government a huge sum of public money while bringing disasters to the environment and peoples livelihood
其實，田灣作為一個小社區，只有1萬多人居住，過去已有很多酒店進駐，成為自由行旅客的熱門勝地，假如連唯一可購買日常用品的商場也變成自由行旅客的購物點，其實會對當區居民有極大影響。
Tin Wan is a small community with a population of only 10 000 - odd residents but it has already become a hot spot for IVS visitors with the establishment of a number of hotels in the district . Local residents will in fact be very much affected if the only shopping centre where they can go for daily shopping is also converted into a shopping spot for IVS visitors
這些旅遊發展對香港的社區發展造成重大影響，這是極嚴重的問題，過去已說過很多，是香港旅遊業發展方向的其中一個失策之處。
This kind of tourism development has resulted in a significant impact on the community development of Hong Kong . As pointed out many times in the past this is a very serious problem and is one of the misjudgments made in respect of the directions for tourism development in Hong Kong
另一個當然是大型旅遊基建計劃，這與社區改造或商鋪錯置完全不同，而最近一個備受討論的項目，正是迪士尼擴建。
Another problem is of course the implementation of major tourism infrastructure projects which is completely different from community transformation or displacement of shops and a project which has been widely discussed lately is the expansion of Disneyland
迪士尼擴建最近成為城中焦點之一，因為該擴建計劃弊病叢生，很多議員均已曾談及。
The expansion of Disneyland has recently become one of the focuses of discussions in the city because as pointed out by many fellow Members the expansion plan is plagued with defects
雖然政府作為香港國際主題樂園有限公司的大股東，但卻受制於與美國迪士尼公司簽訂的股東協議，而政府亦以商業機密為理由，拒絕交出協議內容，在美國迪士尼公司的牽制之下，無法修改在1999年簽訂的認購權契約。
Although the Government is the major shareholder of the Hongkong International Theme Parks Limited it is subject to the restrictions of the Shareholders Agreement signed with the Walt Disney Company and has also refused to provide a copy of the Agreement on the ground that it contains commercially confidential information . Under the influence and control of the Walt Disney Company there is no way for the Government to revise the Option executed in 1999
一方面，大家都很清楚，現時所作商討是一如郭家麒議員剛才所說，要"跪地餵豬乸"，接納一個非常差勁的協議。
On the one hand it is crystal clear that the agreement under negotiation is as Dr KWOK Ka - ki has put it just now a very lousy treaty that we have to stoop to accept
另一方面，面積達60公頃的第二期土地亦將預留空置20年，政府無法收回改作其他用途。
On the other hand the 60 hectares of land acquired under phase 2 of the project will be reserved and left idle for 20 years and the Government cannot resume the land and use it for other purposes
如果大家有留意橫洲計劃，這個又要迫遷，又導致民不聊生的計劃，都只是佔地20公頃。
We can draw a reference from the Wang Chau development project under which only 20 hectares of land are involved but many local residents are already forced to move out and live in destitution
在過去10多年，甚至是未來20年、25年，這60公頃第二期土地都只是用作曬太陽。
Over the past 10 - odd years and in the future 20 or 25 years these 60 hectares of land under phase 2 of the project have been and will still be left idle
政府聲稱過去曾在該處舉行很多活動，但翻查資料，其實在過去10多年只曾舉行數個項目的活動，這絕對是浪費土地，亦不符合成本效益。
According to the Government the site has previously been used for holding many activities but perusal of the relevant information reveals that the site has actually been used for holding activities under several programmes only over the past 10 - odd years . This is a sheer waste of land resources and a practice against the principle of cost - effectiveness too
