但是，亦有項目仍在商討具體細節中，例如租用深港科技創新合作區深圳園區的計劃等，工商界均密切關注。
However there are projects the specific details of which are still under discussion such as the plan to rent the Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Zone in the Shenzhen - Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Co - operation Zone etc to which the industrial and commercial sectors are paying close attention
雖然僧多粥少，但也算是好開始，希望特區政府加強支援港青到大灣區發展，趁此勢頭形成風氣。
Although there are not enough jobs to go around it is already a good start . I hope that the SAR Government will strengthen its support for young people of Hong Kong to pursue development in GBA and take the opportunity to turn it into a trend
在本土經濟方面，政府派發5,000元消費券的新猷，無疑是一個亮點，當局應該抓緊時機優化推行細節，做到簡便及具吸引力，以達致提振經濟0.7%的目標效應，以及把電子支付普及至中小商販及年長市民和幫助防疫，締造多贏。
As regards the local economy the Governments initiative of issuing consumption vouchers with a total value of 5,000 is undoubtedly a bright spot . The authorities should grasp the opportunity to enhance the implementation details and make them simple and attractive so as to achieve the target effect of boosting the economy by 0.7 % . Besides the use of electronic payment should also be promoted among small and medium - sized business owners and elderly citizens which will also help to fight against the epidemic and create an all - win situation
應對氣候變化是當前全球的重大挑戰和機遇，特區政府響應國家呼籲支持"綠色復蘇"，理應減碳與經濟效益並重，致力推動綠色金融、綠色科技等成為新經濟增長點。
Responding to climate change is a major global challenge and opportunity . In response to the countrys call for support of green recovery the SAR Government should pay equal attention to carbon reduction and economic benefits and strive to develop green finance and green technology into new economic growth points
代理主席，最後我想談談有關公共財政穩健和可持續性的問題。
Deputy President last but not least I would like to discuss the issue of sound and sustainable public finance
主席，在"黑暴"禍港及疫情重創的雙重打擊下，香港的庫房"縮水"。
President our public coffers have shrunk under the double blow of black - clad violence and the epidemic that have been plaguing Hong Kong
心繫市民和行業的處境，現在是在有限空間拯救低迷的經濟的重要時刻。
Out of our care of the situation of members of the public and various industries I think it is now a critical moment to salvage the struggling economy under the constraints
"財爺"亦心繫市民的處境，所以撥款推出消費券。
The Financial Secretary FS also cares about the situation of the people and this is why he has allocated funding to introduce consumption vouchers
雖然此舉引起反響，但我支持這做法。
I support this measure in spite of the public reactions
消費券有別於向市民"派錢"，在政府"派錢"後，市民可把金錢用於其他地方或儲蓄，但這次的消費券完全不同，一方面可以紓困，另一方面有助於刺激經濟，繼而保行業和保就業。
Issuing consumption vouchers is different from handing out cash to members of the public . After the Government handed out cash people may either spend or save the money . Unlike cash handouts consumption vouchers can provide relief on the one hand and on the other hand help boost the economy thereby bailing out industries and supporting employment
我希望政府在推出消費券時可盡量減低行政費，加快推行速度，不要拘泥於制度上的枝節。
I hope that when the Government introduces the consumption vouchers it will minimize the administration cost speed up the disbursement and cut the red tapes by all means
"財爺"在這方面的努力，我相信大家都有目共睹。
I believe everyone can see for themselves FSs efforts in this regard
司長亦體察民情，接納了我、柯創盛議員、鄭泳舜議員及環境學專家潘景和先生的倡議，提供財政支持為舊樓進行渠管維修，從而更有效地從源頭抗疫。
Sensing the public pulse FS has also accepted the suggestion put forward by me Mr Wilson OR Mr Vincent CHENG and the environmentalist Mr Alex POON King - wo to provide financial support for drainage repairs of old buildings with a view to effectively tackling the epidemic at source
另一方面，司長亦預留5億元優化郊野公園設施，以及修葺戰時遺蹟作開放式博物館。
On the other hand FS has also set aside 500 million to carry out enhancement works on country park facilities and revitalize some wartime relics by converting them into open museums
我相當認同這個概念，但亦希望當中部分款項可用以修葺郊野公園邊陲位置的遺蹟，因為郊野公園範圍內及邊陲位置都有遺蹟，但很可惜，在進行修葺工程時，部分遺蹟可能並非位於郊野公園範圍內，結果有關工程猶如"斷截禾蟲"般。
I agree with this approach very much but I also hope that part of the funding can be used for revitalizing the relics on the periphery of country parks because relics can be found within and on the periphery of country parks . But unfortunately since some relics are not located within the country park area the relevant revitalization works have to be carried out in a fragmented manner
以沙頭角的抗戰文物徑為例。
A case in point is the heritage trail in Sha Tau Kok that commemorates the War of Resistance
這項遺蹟與東江縱隊抗日有關，部分位於烏蛟騰，部分則位於沙頭角，而位於沙頭角的部分並不屬郊野公園範圍內。
This relic is associated with the anti - Japanese campaigns undertaken by the Dongjiang Column . It is located partly in Wu Kau Tang and partly in Sha Tau Kok but this part does not fall within the country park area
若可擴闊有關撥款的範圍，令這些遺蹟得以保存，我相信除可便利市民郊遊外，市民在觀賞這些遺蹟後亦會見賢思齊，珍惜國家和香港。
If the scope of the funding can be extended to the conservation of such relics I believe this will not only facilitate peoples exploration of the countryside but will also enable them to emulate the good role models and cherish our country and Hong Kong after visiting such relics
有關朋友已就這項遺蹟向政府提交報告，但很可惜，現在石沉大海。
A report on this relic has been submitted to the Government but unfortunately no response has been made
我希望這5億元的撥款可令這項遺蹟有着落。
I hope that the 500 million funding will enable this relic to be taken care of
此外，新界社團聯會及新界青年聯會等團體非常重視這項遺蹟，希望司長和相關部門能夠跟進。
Moreover organizations such as the New Territories Association of Societies and the Federation of New Territories Youth attach great importance to this relic and hope that FS and the relevant departments may take follow - up actions
財政預算案中有部分地方值得商榷，譬如司長希望透過加稅紓緩交通擠塞，而這項加稅措施是重藥，會令業界受到重創。
There are some questionable ideas in the Budget . For example FS hopes to relieve traffic congestion by increasing taxes but this measure is a heavy dose of medicine that will deal a heavy blow to the relevant sectors
私家車首次登記稅提高15%，牌照費增加30%，雖然分別是10年來和30年來首次增加收費，但現時是否增加收費的最合適時機呢？
The first registration tax rates and vehicle licence fees for private cars will be raised by 15 % and 30 % respectively . Although these are the first increases in 10 years and 30 years respectively is this the right time to raise the amounts?
有否其他選擇呢？
Are there any other alternatives?
事實上，在疫情下業界已受到重創，這次加稅對他們而言可謂雪上加霜。
In fact increasing the tax and licence fees will add insult to injury to industries that have been hit hard by the epidemic
例如，2014年的整體車速是每小時21.8公里，到了2018年及2019年，車速已提高至30.8公里。
For example the overall vehicular speed went up from 21.8 kmh in 2014 to 30.8 kmh in 2018 and 2019
即使被稱為塞車重災區的港島區，擠塞的情況也有很大改善。
Traffic congestion has also improved considerably even on Hong Kong Island which is notorious for the problem
港島的上午交通車速由2010年的每小時19公里增至現時的每小時21.5公里，由此可見，整體車速已有所改善。
The vehicular speed on Hong Kong Island during morning hours has gone up from 19 kmh in 2010 to the current 21.5 kmh . This shows an improvement in the overall vehicular speed
因此，關於透過遏制車輛增長改善塞車情況的說法，從這些數據可見，兩者是完全沒有關聯的，而我亦找不到任何關聯的因素。
Therefore as to whether traffic congestion can be improved by curbing vehicle growth no correlation whatsoever has been established from the figures nor is there any factor linking them
大家都知道，整體而言，九成多香港市民使用公共交通工具出行，換言之，市民的車輛可能只用作假日車，方便家人出入或作接駁 用途，特別是居於鄉郊地區的市民。
As we all know over 90 % Hong Kong people take public transport for commuting overall . In other words people probably only drive their cars during holidays or for transporting their families or for connecting with public transport especially in the case of those living in rural areas
該等地區的人口越來越多，大家需要車輛作為點對點的接駁工具，由住所前往公共交通運輸交匯處，例如港鐵站外的泊車轉乘設施。
The population of those areas has been growing and residents need to drive point - to - point from their residences to public transport interchanges such as MTR stations where park - and - ride facilities are available
所以，即使政府不推出任何措施，車輛的增長其實已逐步放緩。
Therefore even if the Government does not implement any measures the growth has actually been slowing down gradually
事實上，車輛增長的情況與我們的經濟環境和經濟周期有關。
As a matter of fact vehicle growth is correlated to our economic environment and business cycle
正如很多市民所說，沒錢買樓便買車，買車後可以到處走走，讓家人出入，加上香港人口老化，為了照顧家中的長者，有時需要以車輛代步。
As many people have said if they cannot afford a property they will buy a car and go to different places or drive their families around . What is more given the ageing population in Hong Kong people sometimes need a car for transporting the elderly family members under their care
所以，如果市民只為嚮往或追求美好的生活而買車，而沒有對交通造成負面影響，我相信過度遏制車輛增長只會適得其反。
Therefore if people buy a car just for having a better life and without causing any adverse impact on the traffic I believe any measures that excessively curb vehicle growth would only be counterproductive
隨着封關，中港車已暫停營運，而相關業界過去的主要生意來源便是跨境車業務。
The operation of cross - boundary vehicles has come to a standstill following the suspension of cross - boundary travel which has been the major source of business for the relevant sectors
反之，我早前曾倡議在多個交通要點增設泊車轉乘設施，讓居於偏遠地區的市民可在停泊車輛後使用公共交通工具。
On the contrary I have earlier suggested that the provision of more park - and - ride facilities at a number of strategic locations so as to encourage people living in remote areas to take public transport after parking their cars
我相信鼓勵大家使用公共交通工具，才能更有效地控制交通擠塞的問題。
I believe encouraging the use of public transport is a more effective means to control the traffic congestion problem
我希望署方在向司長提供數據時，能夠反映實情，以便司長掌握充分的數據。
I hope the relevant department will provide FS with data that can reflect the actual situation so that he can have sufficient data in hand
在疫情下，我亦希望司長考慮是否仍有轉圜的餘地。
Amid the epidemic I also hope that FS may consider whether there is still room for manoeuvre
要改善交通，還有很多方法，疫下加稅，未必可取，懇請司長三思。
There are many ways to improve traffic but increasing taxes amid the epidemic may not be a desirable one . I implore FS to think twice
雖然提高的百分率不高，但在金融服務界已引起頗大的迴響。
Although the percentage of increase is not high it has caused considerable repercussions in the financial services industry
不過，代理主席，我反而認為這是今年預算案一個相當大的亮點，我十分支持。
However Deputy President this is a bright spot in the Budget this year that I strongly support
每次有新股上市，市場便會凍結大量資金去抽新股，例如農夫山泉凍資6,777億元，超額認購 1,147倍，當時成為最大凍資王。
Whenever a new stock is listed huge amounts of funds in the market will be frozen for the subscription of new shares . For example 677.7 billion of funds were frozen for Nongfu Spring which was oversubscribed by 1 147 times . It was the stock for which the largest amounts of funds were frozen at that time
其後，專營短視頻的快手更厲害，凍資達1.28兆港元，用到"兆"這個單位。
Even larger amounts of funds were subsequently frozen for Kuaishou Technology specializing in short videos with an astronomical amount of HK1.28 trillion being frozen
上市公司的數目亦由2010年的1,413間增至2020年的2,538間，增幅為80%；上市公司的總市值亦由2010年的21萬億元升至2020年的48萬億元，增幅為129%。
The number of listed companies increased from 1 413 in 2010 to 2 538 in 2020 representing an 80 % increase; and the total market value of listed companies increased from 21 trillion in 2010 to 48 trillion in 2020 representing a 129 % increase
再加上多項金融"互聯互通"的計劃相繼實施，新的上市制度為市場帶來很多便利，吸引更多有質素的公司來港上市。
Coupled with the successive implementation of a number of financial schemes to enhance connectivity the new listing system has brought a lot of convenience to the market and attracted more quality companies to seek listing in Hong Kong
香港的股票市場表現真是非常理想，平均每日成交額由2010年的690億元增至去年1,300億元。
The performance of the Hong Kong stock market is highly satisfactory . The average daily turnover has increased from 69 billion in 2010 to 130 billion last year
所以，金融業可說是香港的"拳頭"產品，我們要對自己有信心。
So it can be said that the financial sector is the leading industry in Hong Kong and we must have confidence in ourselves
有金融界朋友表示，擔心增加股票印花稅會影響香港的金融中心地位。
Some members of the financial sector have expressed their worries that the increase in Stamp Duty may affect Hong Kongs status as a financial centre
這種說法實在杞人憂天，我們要對自己、對我們的制度有信心。
These are groundless worries and we must have confidence in ourselves and our system
我們有開放、公平的制度，亦具備法治及人才，這些都是股票市場最重要的元素，所以無需因稍為加稅而過於擔心。
Not only do we have an open and fair system but also the rule of law and talents . These are the most important elements of the stock market and we need not worry too much about a slight increase in Stamp Duty
代理主席，雖然金融業在香港一枝獨秀，但我們同時亦看到失業率在節節上升，工友收入減少。
Deputy President even though the financial sector in Hong Kong is thriving we also noticed that unemployment rate is steadily rising and the income of workers has decreased
最近，失業率更上升至7.2%，26萬人失業，15萬人就業不足。
Recently the unemployment rate has risen to 7.2 % with 260 000 people unemployed and 150 000 people underemployed
單一行業暢旺，進一步加劇貧富懸殊。
The prosperity of a single industry has widened the wealth gap further
由於熱錢不斷流入，有錢人可以透過買股票，不斷"錢搵錢"，只須按些掣，財富便會增值當中當然也涉及投資策略但他們完全不用繳交股票增值稅，令貧富懸殊越來越嚴重。
With the continuous influx of hot money the rich can continue to make profits through buying stocks . They can increase their wealth by pressing a few buttons―this surely involves some investment strategies―but are not required to pay tax on stock gains . As a result there is a growing disparity between the rich and the poor
與此同時，就業市場一般"打工仔"的工資購買力卻不斷萎縮，形成一個強烈對比。
Meanwhile standing in stark contrast is the shrinking purchasing power of ordinary wage earners
因此，"財爺"今次從股票市場入手，稍為提高股票印花稅，為政府增加少許收入，大約有120億元新增稅收，實在是非常合理的"財爺"剛返回會議廳聽到我的發言，這項措施真是"無得頂"從資金充裕的市場徵稅，固然是天經地義，亦符合財富再分配的原則。
Therefore the Financial Secretary FS has targeted at the stock market this time and slightly raised the Stamp Duty to generate additional government revenues ie . additional stamp duty of about 12 billion which is very reasonable―FS has just returned to the Chamber to listen to my speech; this measure is really superb―it is highly justified to impose tax on a well - funded market and it also complies with the principle of wealth redistribution
所以，我認為今次增加股票印花稅，實在是一個好開始。
Thus I think the increase in stamp duty is a good start indeed
我亦鼓勵"財爺"進一步研究貧富懸殊的另一元兇物業炒賣，他也應該適時研究引入物業增值稅。
I also encourage FS to look further into property speculation which is another culprit causing the disparity between the rich and the poor . He should also study the introduction of property gains tax at appropriate juncture
股票交易過往吸引了大量資金流入，但由於資金過分集中於金融、地產及炒賣行業，以致投資在創新科技及其他產業的資金不足。
Stock trading attracted a large inflow of funds in the past but they were excessively concentrated on the financial real estate and speculation industries leaving the innovation and technology and other industries with insufficient funds
增加股票增值稅有助資金流向更多新經濟、新產業，再加上其他稅務或政策措施，亦有助我們再工業化或其他產業的發展。
Imposing additional stamp duty will facilitate the flow of funds to new industries . Coupled with other taxation or policy measures re - industrialization or the development of other industries will be promoted
從公共財政的角度，自從2019年出現"黑暴"，再加上2020年的疫情，各行各業受到嚴重打擊，政府的財政收入亦受到影響。
From the perspective of public finance black - clad violence in 2019 and the epidemic situation in 2020 have dealt serious blow to various industries and sectors and the fiscal revenues of the Government have also been affected
代理主席，面對沒完沒了的新冠肺炎疫情，我想大家根據普通常識也知道，在百業蕭條的情況下，失業、裁員、減薪和破產等數字必然屢創高峰。
Deputy President I think it is common sense that in the face of the endless COVID - 19 pandemic the figures of unemployment layoff pay reduction bankruptcy and so on will inevitably reach new highs when there is a general slump in the market for all trades
香港推出多輪紓困措施，用了超過3,000億元公帑，但經濟仍然未見起色。
Although several rounds of relief measures amounting to over 300 billion of public money have been implemented in Hong Kong the economy has yet to pick up
我相信大部分市民均期望，這份財政預算案可以達到多個目的，最低限度也會因應時勢，善用這筆巨額儲備，落實即時見效的短期救市措施，穩定民心，長遠而言提升香港的競爭力，重振經濟。
I believe the vast majority of the public would expect that this Budget can achieve several objectives or at least make good use of the huge reserves to implement immediate and effective short - term bail - out measures in the light of the circumstances so as to rebuild peoples confidence as well as enhance Hong Kongs competitiveness and boost the economy in the long run
我相信政府也應該明白，如果抗疫越長越不濟，市民要付出的代價也越來越高。
I believe the Government should also understand that the longer the fight against the pandemic the less desirable it is and the higher the costs to be paid by members of the public
關於個人破產方面的數字，本年首3個月已是1,986宗，增加30%。
The number of personal bankruptcies was 1 986 in the first three months of this year representing an increase of 30 %
最新整體失業率達到7.2%。
The latest overall unemployment rate has reached 7.2 %
這些都是客觀而具體的事實，不容爭辯。
All these are objective and specific facts leaving no room for debate
如果當局稍有自知之明或撫心自問，便應該盡量"加碼"紓解民困。
If the authorities know a bit about their own limitations and shortcomings or ask themselves honestly they should step up their efforts in relieving peoples hardships as much as possible
有些人笑他"阿茂整餅"，但不要緊，最重要是大家開心。
Some people teased him saying that he is Ah Mo making cakes . It does not matter as everyone being happy is the most important
在"派錢"政策支持之下，美國3月的零售銷售額創10個月的最大增幅，惠及股市持續上升，這些全部也是看到效果的。
Under the support of the cash handout policy the retail sales of US in March recorded the greatest increase for 10 months bringing about the stock market rally . These are all the results that can be seen
反觀特區政府，我剛才聽到同事用"落雨收遮"這4個字來形容，市民難免會作比較。
Contrarily I heard just now that colleagues used the expression recalling all the umbrellas on the rainy days to describe the SAR Government . It is unavoidable for the public to make a comparison
今年推出的電子消費券，在某程度上可說是"縮水"的措施，難怪香港始終還有很多怨氣。
The electronic consumption vouchers to be implemented this year can be said to be a shrunken measure to a certain extent . No wonder Hong Kong is still full of resentment
代理主席，政府動用大筆公帑，出現赤字，所以不想太"手鬆"，我也是可以理解的。
Deputy President it is understandable that after spending a large sum of public money resulting in deficits the Government is now reluctant to be too generous
我們當然明白公務員會有期望，也有合約或政策上的事務，但感覺不好，司長，感覺不好。
We certainly understand that civil servants have expectations and this has something to do with contracts or policies but the perception of the public is not good . FS the perception is not good
莫說那100多個不願宣誓的公務員，很多非常資深的退休公務員、高官在退休後都一邊領取長俸，一邊責罵政府。
Not to mention the 100 - odd civil servants who are unwilling to swear some very experienced retired civil servants and government officials are scolding the Government on the one hand and receiving pension from the Government on the other
他們不斷破壞政府的施政，但卻可領着長俸安度餘生或希望永遠平安過活。
While they are undermining the governance of the Government they are using the pensions received to lead or seek to lead live peacefully for the rest of their life
得民心便得天下，我經常用的例子是當年韓國遇到最大的經濟危機，韓國市民變賣戒指和頸鏈來幫助政府。
The one who gets the support of people wins the world . The example I have frequently cited is that when Korea faced the greatest economic crisis years ago its citizens sold off their rings and necklaces to help the Government
當一個政府得民心並獲得市民信任時，真的無須擔心；相反，如果得不到民心，令市民充滿怨氣，自然會有社會騷亂，這樣不管政府有多少儲備也沒有用。
When a government earns the support and trust of people it really has nothing to worry about . Conversely if a government fails to win the support of people and there is strong public resentment social disturbances will inevitably emerge . Under such circumstances it makes no difference if the Governments reserves are large or small
也許財政司司長有很多政策已有定案，但我仍希望政府設法盡量加碼，盡可能以民為本地做事，盡量多做不會令市民那麼憤怒的事。
Perhaps many policies of FS have been finalized but I still hope that the Government can try to put more efforts act in the interest of the people as far as possible and try to do more things that will not make citizens that angry
我知道公務員團隊都很辛苦，但仍有不少薪高糧準、在家工作的公務員。
I know that the civil servants are working very hard but still many of them are in high positions well remunerated and working from home
他們要了解市民沒有溫飽的情況，並盡可能多做形象工程、實質的工作。
They must understand the plight of the people and try to do more image engineering and pragmatic work by all means
但是，據剛公布的內地經濟走勢，其第一季增長超過10%，簡直嚇人一跳。
However according to the economic conditions of the Mainland published earlier its growth rate in the first quarter exceeded 10 % which is simply astonishing
正所謂"人無千日好，花無百日紅"，香港剛好遇上一個黑暗時代，但難得可以依傍在祖國強勁的臂彎，得到扶持。
As the saying goes all good things must come to an end it happens that Hong Kong has entered a dark age but it is lucky that our country has stretched its arms to embrace us and provided us with strong support
然而，他今年的工作做得特別辛苦，不是因為個人問題，而是大圍市況。
However his work is particularly difficult this year not because of him but the overall market conditions
香港今年收入5,900億元，開支7,200億元，兩者相差1,367億元。
This year the revenue of Hong Kong is 590 billion and its expenditure is 720 billion with a difference of 136.7 billion
我們似乎要用九牛二虎之力盡量力挽狂瀾。
It seems that we have to exert enormous efforts to save the desperate crisis
開倉派米是要賑濟萬民、老百姓，這不是無故浪費金錢。
Dishing out relief measures is to provide relief to the civilians which is not wasting money without reason
所以，在量入為出與適可而止的概念之下，我覺得預算案尚算合格，所以我要支持。
So judging from the concepts of keeping the expenditure within the limits of revenues and being appropriate the Budget has basically met the required standard so I must give my support
香港十分幸運，因為賺取到的金錢可以自行儲起來，無須上繳中央。
Hong Kong is very lucky because it can save the money earned by itself without the need to hand it over to the Central Authorities
相對而言，上海要負責全國的創收，他們背負的壓力絕不輕鬆。
In comparison Shanghai is obliged to obtain revenues for the whole country which indeed is a heavy burden
在這樣的情況之下，香港怎樣量入為出同時開源節流？
Under such circumstances how can Hong Kong keep the expenditure within the limits of revenues while cutting expenditure and raising revenue?
第一點，要打造香港成為智慧城市，便要創新。
Firstly innovation is required to develop Hong Kong into a smart city
國家在9年裏達到滅貧的目標，甚至乎在2019年最黑暗的時候人人都以為國家未必可以達標而可能要將目標延期，但中央果斷，言必行，行必果。
The country has achieved its poverty reduction target within nine years even during the darkest period in 2019 when everyone thought that the country might not able to achieve and even need to defer it . However the Central Authorities are decisive put into practice what they say and see to it that results are achieved
這就是最重要的態度。
This is the most important attitude
其實，香港甚麼也有，問題在於我們的思維。
In fact Hong Kong has everything and the problem lies in our mindset
代理主席，我發言支持通過二讀《2021年撥款條例草案》。
Deputy President I speak in support of the passage of the Second Reading of the Appropriation Bill 2021
我對本年度的財政預算案感到喜出望外，因為政府雖然面對赤字，但財政司司長沒有因此而"手緊"，反而在香港經濟低迷、失業率創新高的情況下扭盡六壬，制訂了一份近1,000億元赤字的預算案，為民紓困，當中有360億元更涉及自由黨提出的電子消費券建議，自由黨非常支持。
I am pleasantly surprised by this years Budget because the Financial Secretary FS has not reined in government spending in the face of the deficit . Instead despite the economic downturn and record high unemployment rate in Hong Kong FS has exhausted every possible means to formulate a Budget with a deficit of nearly 100 billion to relieve the hardship of the people . The disbursement of electronic consumption vouchers proposed by the Liberal Party LP which involves 36 billion has the strong support of LP
十二年後的2021年經濟低迷，自由黨於今年1月繼續遊說政府發放電子消費券。
LP continued to lobby the Government to issue electronic consumption vouchers in January this year
時代進步，令電子消費普及化。
Electronic consumption has become more popular thanks to technological progress over time
經歷疫情肆虐，現金交易會增加傳播病毒風險，加上政府推動濕街市以電子交易，自由黨認為這是一個推動電子消費及電子錢包的契機。
Amid the epidemic cash transaction increases the risk of virus transmission adding that the Government is promoting electronic transactions in wet markets LP sees this as an opportunity to promote electronic consumption and electronic wallets
因此，我們非常歡迎政府接納自由黨的建議，以電子消費券形式向市民發放5,000元，並應分期而非一次過派發。
We therefore strongly welcome the Governments adoption of our proposal to distribute 5,000 to each eligible Hong Kong resident in the form of electronic consumption vouchers and suggested that it should be disbursed in instalments rather than in one go
不過，我和自由黨亦有少許失望，因為政府未有藉今次機會推行八達通或其他電子支付方式的實名制。
However LP and I are slightly disappointed because the Government has failed to take this opportunity to introduce a real - name registration system for Octopus cards and other electronic payment methods
有些人害怕實名制，因為會被人check到消費紀錄，甚至被妻子check到行蹤或消費，但司長回想"黑暴"時暴徒隨街分派八達通給其他暴徒，我們是否應該檢視這些行為是否違法。
Some people are worried that the real - name registration system will enable others to check their spending history and even enable their wives to check their whereabouts or spending . However as FS may recall that during the black - clad riots rioters had distributed Octopus cards to their accomplices casually on the streets . We should examine if such acts are illegal
由於沒有實名制，任何人都可以使用和購買八達通，這是有問題的，對執法亦構成問題。
In the absence of real - name registration everyone can use and purchase an Octopus card anytime which is a problem and this has also posed a problem to law enforcement
