根據2017年的人口統計數字，全香港共有超過21萬人從事文化及創意產業，但屬於該界別的選民竟然只有約3,100人。
According to the 2017 Population Census a total of more than 210 000 people were engaged in the cultural and creative industry in Hong Kong; but there are only some 3 100 electors in the FC concerned
該界別很多從業員，例如音樂人、歌手和演員等，從事這產業的工作多年，但沒有投票資格和權利，實在令人難以理解。
Many practitioners such as musicians singers and actors have been working in the industry for years yet they have neither the eligibility nor the right to vote . This is indeed perplexing
在2016年，曾經有傳媒查閱選民登記冊，發現具建制背景的香港中華文化總會旗下，有近200個屬會為文化界的選民，但差不多有一成屬於新登記。
In 2016 a media exposed upon checking the register for electors that almost 200 member associations under the Association of Chinese Culture of Hong Kong ACCHK an organization with pro - establishment background were electors of the Cultural subsector . However nearly 10 % of these member associations were newly registered
此外，在議會現行的分組點票機制下，代表少數界別利益的功能界別議員，卻有特權否決由代表大多數市民利益的地區直選議員所提出的議案，造成少數人否決多數人的不公平情況，更出現不少關於政制與香港核心價值的議案被否決的現象。
How could people not doubt the possibility of vote - rigging? . Furthermore under the current separate voting system of the Legislative Council FC Members representing the minority interests of sectors have the privilege to veto motions proposed by geographical constituency Members who represent the majority interests of the people thereby giving rise to the unfair situation of the minority vetoing the majority and even the situation of many motions concerning the constitutional matters and core values of Hong Kong being vetoed
因此，對於《條例草案》並沒有檢討這個原則性問題，我認為相當遺憾。
Hence I find it regrettable that this issue of principle is not reviewed in the Bill
甚至當我們想彈劾特首，也由於功能界別的存在而阻礙了我們提出議案，令我們無法反映廣大民意。
Even when we wanted to impeach the Chief Executive we could not propose the motion owing to the presence of FCs thus we could not reflect the opinion of the general public
最後，我想總結，功能界別備受質疑，主要原因是缺乏公平性，因為其選民基礎只局限於業界小圈子，而且很多界別只有團體票。
Lastly to conclude the system FCs is widely questioned mainly because the system is unfair the electorate base is confined to a small circle of the sector and the fact that there are only corporate votes in many FCs
因此，由小圈子選出來的議員又怎會有民意基礎？
As such how will Members elected by small circles have a public opinion basis?
因此，我認為當中存在很多問題，例如很多中醫和脊醫被排除在醫學界功能界別外，而體育、演藝、文化和出版界又集中在某些機構和團體。
Thus I think many problems are involved . For instance many practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine and chiropractors are excluded from the Medical FC; the electors of the Sports Performing Arts Culture and Publication FC are restricted to certain institutions and organizations
因此，我認為立法會功能界別是一個結構性的缺陷，完全無法彰顯民意，反而造就建制派進一步操控議會，為政府護航。
Therefore I consider FCs in the Legislative Council a structural defect which totally fails to manifest public opinion and facilitates the pro - establishment camps further manipulation of the legislature to support the Government
今年年初，"林鄭"特首強行推出"送中惡法"時，自以為可以操縱過半數的立法會議席，可以因而漠視民意，在議會內為所欲為。
At the beginning of this year when Chief Executive Carrie LAM forced through the draconian China extradition bill she thought she could control more than half of the seats in this Council hence she ignored public opinions and did whatever she wanted in this Council
豈料，"送中條例"推出後，衍生了香港歷史上最大型的民主運動，至今已經持續近半年，民怨和民憤仍然未能被撲熄。
Yet the introduction of the China extradition bill has triggered the largest pro - democracy movement ever in Hong Kong lasting for nearly six months up till now but public grievances and resentment have still not been allayed
"林鄭"政府就是恃着在立法會有足夠的保皇票數，可以強推不公義的"送中條例"，以致民怨一發不可收拾。
The Carrie LAMs Government thought that it could with a sufficient number of votes from the royalist force through the unjust China extradition bill resulting in public grievances getting out of control
在剛過去的區議會選舉中，建制派幾乎徹底崩潰，個別保皇派的政黨更加是一席也不保。
In the District Council Election which has just concluded the pro - establishment camp has almost been totally crushed . A royalist political party could not even get one single seat
歸根結底，香港是需要改革的，特別是選舉制度，我們必須廢除功能界別及全面普選立法會。
After all Hong Kong needs reform especially reforms in the electoral system . We must abolish FCs and bring universal suffrage to the Legislative Council
主席，《2019年選舉法例條例草案》是對2020年立法會換屆選舉及其他公共選舉進行技術性修訂，主要是關於功能界別選民基礎及其他改善選舉安排的修訂，包括選舉申報書的修訂、呈交提名表格的修訂、候選人可免付郵資投寄信件的尺碼規定，以及處理選舉申報書內的輕微錯誤或遺漏訂明的特定限額，並不包括任何重大修訂。
President the Electoral Legislation Bill 2019 the Bill seeks to introduce technical amendments for the 2020 Legislative Council General Election and other public elections mainly amendments concerning the electorate of functional constituencies FCs and other amendments to improve electoral arrangements including revisions concerning election returns revising the way of submitting the nomination forms requirements concerning the size of letters that may be sent free of postage by candidates and the limits prescribed for rectifying minor errors or omissions in election returns . There are no substantial amendments
主席，關於功能界別的技術性修訂，是指在現行法例的相關條文中更新自上次更新工作後已改名的團體，修改8個功能界別內13個團體的名稱以反映其名稱的變動；刪除自上次更新工作後已停止運作的團體，即從6個功能界別刪除12個已停止運作的團體，以及按相關功能界別現時的情況新增選民，即為4個功能界別新增10個團體。
President technical amendments concerning FCs refer to updating the names of corporates specified under relevant sections of the existing legislation that have had their names changed since the last updating exercise namely revising the names of 13 corporates within eight FCs to reflect their name changes; removing corporates which have ceased operation since the last updating exercise namely removing 12 corporates which have ceased operation from six FCs; and adding new electors in the light of the prevailing situation of the FCs concerned namely adding 10 corporates for four FCs
主席，相關修訂是以立法會功能界別現有選民基礎為依據，經諮詢各政策局/部門，並考慮接獲的團體要求，不涉及會對現有功能界別團體造成重大變更的修訂。
President the amendments are proposed on the basis of the existing electorate of FCs of the Legislative Council in consultation with relevant bureauxdepartments and after considering requests received from individual organizations . There are no amendments that will give rise to substantial changes to existing corporates of FCs
例如，對於現在選民只佔從業人員約10%的資訊科技界功能界別，由於今次修訂為技術性修訂，所以不會進行討論，相關探討及制訂劃一標準是創新及科技局的另外一項工作，將在研究後於今年下半年諮詢資訊科技界。
For example for the Information Technology FC where electors account for only around 10 % of practitioners no discussion will be held as the amendments are technical amendments . The relevant exploration and the formulation of unified standards are another task of the Innovation and Technology Bureau and the information technology sector will be consulted in the second half of this year following the conclusion of studies
同樣地，對於旅遊界功能界別公司票制度的檢討，以及考慮是否應將香港印刷業商會劃分入體育、演藝、文化及出版界功能界別，均會涉及對相關功能界別現有選民基礎作出重大改變，有關調整非技術性修訂，超出《條例草案》的範圍和政策用意。
Similarly regarding the review on the system of corporate votes in the Tourism FC and whether the inclusion of the Hong Kong Printers Association in the Sports Performing Arts Culture and Publication FC should be considered substantial changes to the existing electorate of the relevant FCs will be involved . The relevant revisions are not technical amendments and go beyond the scope and policy intent of the Bill
此外，考慮是否應將個別團體或機構加入功能界別時，除諮詢相關政策局/部門的意見外，亦須考慮多項因素，例如申請的團體或機構在業界是否具有代表性、該團體或機構對業界的貢獻及活躍程度等，在維持原來功能界別的選民基礎劃分基本不變的前提下，對申請作出決定。
In addition in considering whether individual organizations or bodies should be added to an FC apart from seeking the advice of the relevant bureauxdepartments various factors also have to be considered such as whether the applying organization or body is representative in the sector its contribution to the sector and its degree of activity . A decision will be made on the application under the premise of basically maintaining the original delineation of the electorate of FC
例如，今次在漁農界功能界別加入小艇捕魚作業及有機耕種等代表新型行業的團體，便是順應時代發展，增強相關功能界別的代表性。
For example the inclusion of organizations representing newly emerged industries such as organic farming and small boat fishing operations in the Agriculture and Fisheries FC is a move that adapts to changing times and enhances the representativeness of the FC concerned
其他建議新增團體，例如教育界功能界別的耀中幼教學院校董會成員，航運交通界功能界別的忠誠車行有限公司及香港貨運航空有限公司等，均符合在功能界別新增組成團體的原則。
Regarding other organizations proposed to be added such as Members of Board of Governors of Yew Chung College of Early Childhood Education in the Education FC and Chung Shing Taxi Limited and Hong Kong Air Cargo Carrier Limited in the Transport FC they all comply with the principle of adding new listed organizations to FCs
對於登記為功能界別選民，按照《立法會條例》，有關機構有責任向選舉事務處提供符合相關定義的合資格人士的資料以用作選民資料登記。
As for the registration as electors of FCs the body concerned is duty - bound to under the Legislative Council Ordinance provide the Registration and Electoral Office with information of eligible persons falling within the relevant definitions for the purpose of voter registration
未能成功登記為功能界別選民的人士，可以提出申索，相關申索會由獨立的審裁官按法定程序處理。
A person who has failed to register as an elector in an FC can lodge claims which will be handled by an independent Revising Officer according to the statutory procedures
此外，為減輕候選人在擬備選舉申報書的工作量，《條例草案》擬訂調高提交發票及收據的門檻，由100元提高至500元，並根據過往經驗，建議延長行政長官選舉中提交選舉申報書的期限，由30天增至60天。
In addition in order to help alleviate the workload of candidates when preparing their election returns the Bill proposes to revise the threshold for the submission of invoices and receipts from 100 to 500 and based on past experience proposes to extend the deadline for submitting election returns for Chief Executive elections from 30 days to 60 days
主席，《條例草案》涵蓋的技術性修訂不僅涉及多個功能界別的事宜，亦包括改善選舉安排的便利措施，關乎政治參與權利。
President the technical amendments covered in the Bill not only involve issues concerning various FCs but also include facilitation measures for improving electoral arrangements which concern the right to participate in politics
該等技術性修訂總體上不具爭議，且符合香港選舉的實際情況，是適時、實用且必要的技術性修訂，目的是為了使2020年立法會選舉及其他公共選舉可以更順利地進行。
Such technical amendments which are not controversial in general and tally with the actual circumstances surrounding Hong Kong elections are timely practical and necessary technical amendments for the smoother conduct of the 2020 Legislative Council Election and other public elections
《條例草案》提出的修訂不涉及整體政治制度的改革，與普選方案是毫不相干。
The amendments proposed in the Bill are not related to the reform of our overall political system and have nothing to do with the proposal for universal suffrage
但是，剛才有泛民議員發言提出對功能界別選舉的批評，亦提出廢除功能界別、進行普選，我在此順帶作出回應。
However since some pan - democratic Members raised criticisms against FC elections and proposed abolishing FCs and implementing universal suffrage in their speeches just now I would like to respond in passing
剛才泛民議員有關普選的發言，實質是漠視《條例草案》進行技術性修訂的政策原意，完全是醉翁之意不在酒，借題發揮。
When pan - democratic Members spoke on universal suffrage just now they have essentially disregarded the policy intent of proposing the technical amendments of the Bill . As the drinkers heart is not in the cup they intend to make an issue of it . The idea of universal suffrage that they advocate has not been discussed and given the polarized public opinion in society even if such ideas are introduced their feasibility will be in doubt
他們提出目前未加探討，在如今社會民意對立下，即使提出，可行性也存疑的普選口號，眼高手低，不僅無視功能界別議員過往的成績及發揮的專業作用，誠意更加不如處理同為進行技術性修訂的《2015年選舉法例條例草案》時，雖然批判功能界別，宣揚雙普選，但仍有部分泛民議員通過提出修正案，要求擴大功能界別的選民基礎所展現的誠意。
Not only do they ignore the past achievements and professional expertise of FC Members but they have also demonstrated inadequate sincerity when compared with how some other pan - democratic Members dealt with the Electoral Legislation No . 2 2015 which likewise made technical amendments . At that time while some pan - democratic Members criticized FCs and championed dual universal suffrage they also requested broadening the electorate of FCs by way of proposing amendments
一味強調普選，而不提出實際可行步驟，實質上是為未來的選舉進行民意捆綁，政治自保。
By solely advocating universal suffrage without proposing feasible initiatives these Members are actually bundling public opinion for future elections and seeking their own political salvation
將功能界別制度說成罪大惡極，彷彿廢除功能界別，實行雙普選，便能解決香港面對的所有問題。
They describe the FC system as heinous as if the abolition of FCs and the implementation of dual universal suffrage could solve all the problems faced by Hong Kong
主席，我明白對於香港的政治制度，特別是選舉制度，很多香港市民都存在意見，部分更不滿功能界別制度，質疑為何不廢除功能界別制度，進行很多泛民議員剛才提及的雙普選。
President I understand that as far as the political system particularly electoral system of Hong Kong is concerned many Hong Kong people have issues with it . Some are even dissatisfied with the FC system and query why the FC system is not abolished and dual universal suffrage which many pan - democratic Members mentioned just now is not implemented
首先，《基本法》第四十五條規定"行政長官的產生辦法根據香港特別行政區的實際情 況和循序漸進的原則而規定，最終達至由一個有廣泛代表性的提名委員會按民主程序提名後普選產生的目標"。
First Article 45 of the Basic Law stipulates that The method for selecting the Chief Executive shall be specified in the light of the actual situation in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and in accordance with the principle of gradual and orderly progress . The ultimate aim is the selection of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage upon nomination by a broadly representative nominating committee in accordance with democratic procedures
第六十八條規定"立法會的產生辦法根據香港特別行政區的實際情況和循序漸進的原則而規定，最終達至全部議員由普選產生的目標"。
Article 68 stipulates that The method for forming the Legislative Council shall be specified in the light of the actual situation in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and in accordance with the principle of gradual and orderly progress . The ultimate aim is the election of all the members of the Legislative Council by universal suffrage
2015年立法會否決2017年政改方案，功能界別繼續存在。
In 2015 the Legislative Council vetoed the 2017 constitutional reform package and hence FCs continued to exist
其次，在目前香港民意越加分裂、雙元對立的社會實際狀況下，為何不試圖通過已實施的2014年、2015年、2018年的《選舉法例條例草案》，以及今次的《條例草案》，在未能開展普選探討之前，逐步通過法案循序漸進改善選舉制度及安排，盡力確保公平、公正、公開的選舉？
Second given the present increasingly divided public opinion and polarized society why do we not before commencing the study on universal suffrage make use of Electoral Legislation Bills implemented in 2014 2015 and 2018 and the present Bill to improve our electoral system and arrangements in a gradual and orderly manner so as to ensure that elections will be held in a fair just and open manner?
對於擴闊功能界別的選民基礎，特別是資訊科技界功能界別，我覺得實屬必要。
As for broadening the electorate of FCs particularly the Information Technology FC I think it is indeed necessary to do so
相關的探討工作正在進行中，並將會諮詢業界，而對於其他擴闊選民基礎的可行性研究，包括檢討其他功能界別的組成方式、公司票和個人票的取捨、規管"種票"現象等，完全可以進行探討，可以雙軌進行。
The relevant study is being conducted and the sector concerned will be consulted . Regarding the feasibility study on alternatives to broaden the electorate including reviewing the composition of other FCs making choices between corporate votes and individual votes and regulating vote - rigging studies can certainly be carried out . A dual - track approach can be adopted
關鍵是政府是否能夠參照創新及科技局對資訊科技界功能界別構成標準的改革，制訂具體工作時間表及諮詢相關業界，予以落實，以提高相關界別的認受性和代表性。
The key is whether the Government can make reference to the Innovation and Technology Bureaus reform on the criteria for the composition of the Information Technology FC formulate a specific timetable consult the sector concerned and implement the proposal so as to enhance the recognition and representativeness of the sector concerned
《條例草案》建議的修訂措施不多，甚至相對於香港整體政治制度的改革，即循序漸進進行雙普選而言，可謂小修小補，但絕非原地踏步。
Not many amendments are proposed in the Bill and when compared with the reform of the overall political system of Hong Kong namely implementing dual universal suffrage in a gradual and orderly manner we can even say that the amendments are patchy fixes . Yet we are certainly not at a standstill
對香港選舉制度的改革，更是千里之行，始於足下。
When it comes to the reform of the electoral system of Hong Kong these are even the first step of a thousand - mile journey
主席，我們支持《2019年選舉法例條例草案》，但這些修訂完全是微不足道，如果套用剛才梁美芬議員的說法，是雞毛蒜皮的修訂。
President we support the Electoral Legislation Bill 2019 the Bill . However the proposed amendments are insignificant or trivial as Dr Priscilla LEUNG said earlier
房屋署有沒有做到該做 的事？
Has the Housing Department performed its due responsibilities?
既然有很多公共服務，例如申請圖書證或過關已可以用智能身份證，取選票也可以這樣做，為甚麼仍然要用人手刪除姓名以取得選票？
Since smart identity cards can be used in many public services eg . application of library cards or immigration clearance we can also smart identity cards in getting ballot papers . Why should names be manually crossed out in issuing ballot papers?
我們太守法或沒想過有人會踩界。
Being law abiding we have never thought that others would overstep the mark
從區議會選舉可見，政府對於守法的人便規管，但對於不守法或故意踩界的人，是無能為力，這一點我在上星期已經提出了。
From the DC Election we noticed that the Government regulated the law - abiding people but could not take any action against those who did not obey the law or deliberately overstepped the mark . I raised this point last week
在票站點票的整個過程，我想對於很多同事而言，是一個很好的經驗，我亦希望政府今次能夠汲收經驗。
For many colleagues I believe the process of vote counting at polling stations is a very good experience and I hope the Government will learn from the experience too
今次明顯有很多人蓄意踩灰色地帶，以往則沒有人會這樣做。
Obviously many people have deliberately stepped into grey areas in the Election which was unprecedented
現時整個運作是為確保選舉完成，但我們能否確保選舉是公平地完成？
At present the entire operation is to ensure a smooth conduct of an election but can we be sure that the election is conducted in a fair manner?
輸贏對我來說不重要，這是民意的表達，我們尊重市民的決定。
Winning or losing is not a big deal to me; the result represents public opinion and we respect the decisions of the people
如果市民對於當天賺取外快的多位人員沒有信心，究竟我們能否盡快使用電子設備，透過電腦加快投票速度？
If people have no confidence in the staff working in the polling station for some extra pay can we use electronic means as soon as possible to expedite the process of voting?
是否應該聘請更多專職人員，甚至減少兼職人員，而增加一些電 子設備？
Should more designated staff and fewer part - time staff be recruited and should more electronic facilities be utilized?
當然，以目前選舉事務處的能力，根本無法管理電子設備，但是否應該有更好的處理方法，令整個選舉程序得以公平地進行、選舉法例得以落實？
Certainly considering the current capacity of REO it will not be able to manage electronic facilities but should better ways be employed to ensure that the entire electoral process can be conducted in a fair manner and that provisions in the electoral legislation can be implemented?
主席，今天是討論《2019年選舉法例條例草案》，我發言支持《條例草案》。這是一項涉及投票的法案。
President todays discussion is on the Electoral Legislation Bill 2019 the Bill and I speak in support of the Bill which is related to voting
首先，我非常感謝在上周日區議會選舉投票的市民，這是實踐民主身體力行的表現。
First of all I am very grateful to the people who voted in the District Council DC Election last Sunday . This is a manifestation of taking action to practise democracy
不論市民有否投票支持工聯會或建制派，或投票給其他政黨人士，我們都是衷心感謝。
It does not matter whether people voted for the Federation of Trade Unions the pro - establishment camp or other political parties we still thank them whole - heartedly
談到感謝，有同事提起今天是感恩節，感恩節在香港不是太普及，它是一個美國節日。
Speaking of gratitude some colleagues mentioned that today is Thanksgiving Day . Thanksgiving Day is not very popular in Hong Kong as it is a festival celebrated in the United States
鄭松泰議員提到感恩節，好像很感謝美國通過《香港人權與民主法案》如何為香港好，老實說，真的盡顯鄭松泰議員要麼是一名"歷史盲"，要麼是一名"帶路黨"。
When Dr CHENG Chung - tai mentioned Thanksgiving Day he seemed to be very grateful that the United States passed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act for the good of Hong Kong . Honestly this shows that Dr CHENG Chung - tai is either a history illiterate or a traitor to usher the enemy into the country
為何我說他是"歷史盲"呢？
Why do I say he is a history illiterate?
當地的印第安人接濟這群移民，協助他們......
Some Indians the indigenous people came to their rescue and helped them
歐洲移民對印第安人巧取豪奪、趕盡殺絕、種族滅絕，令98%的印第安人死亡。
The European immigrants robbed the Indians of their resources killed them in large numbers and even committed genocide killing 98 % of the Indians
所以，歷史上很多......
Hence there are many in history
歷史上很多人都是"笑騎騎，放毒蛇"，說很多動聽的口號，其實都是想害死人。
There were many people in history who did evil things wearing a smiling face . Many people said pleasing words but they meant to harm and kill
所以，我時常覺得感恩節是一個極度偽善的日子。
Honestly the recent Hence I always think that Thanksgiving Day is extremely hypocritical
感恩節是當年歐洲移民，其實就是今天的美國人......
The European immigrants who held Thanksgiving Day then are todays Americans
陸議員，你已經用了3分鐘談論感恩節，但這項辯論的議題是《2019年選舉法例條例草案》。
Mr LUK you have spent three minutes talking about Thanksgiving Day but the subject of this debate is the Electoral Legislation Bill 2019
梁耀忠議員，其實你亦經常離題，但我也尊重你。
Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung actually you always digress in your speech but I respect you
主席，可能我說了一些美國的暗黑歷史，有些同事會比較敏感。
President perhaps because I talked about the dark history of the United States some colleagues are quite sensitive
其實，我們的選舉制度需要與時俱進，不斷實現一個民主、公平的體制，透過一個有公信力及公正的選舉，令政府得到市民的認受及授權。
As a matter of fact our electoral system should keep abreast of the times continue to manifest a democratic and fair system and allow the Government to gain recognition and mandate from the people through credible and fair elections
《條例草案》主要是關乎一些技術修訂，包括對功能界別中一些已改名的團體更新其名稱，同時亦刪除了一些已經停止運作的團體，並按照相關功能界別現時的情況，加入新的選民。
The Bill is mainly concerned with some technical amendments namely revising the names of corporates that have had their names changed removing corporates which have ceased operation and adding new electors in the light of the prevailing situation of the functional constituencies FCs concerned . It is concerned with FCs
當然，這都是一些技術上或稱為"末端細節"或"細眉細眼"的修訂，我都表示支持。
Of course these amendments are technical in nature and can be considered as trivial and insignificant . I also support the amendments
我首先作利益申報，我也有參與上星期日的區議會選舉，我落選了，但我絕對承認及尊重選民的決定及選舉結果。
I have to declare interest first . I also ran in the DC Election last Sunday and I lost . But I fully recognize and respect voters decisions and the election result
其實這些問題都可以靠科技解決。
Actually these problems could be solved by technology
最多人提議仿效出入境時的做法，將智能身份證插入讀卡機內及印手指模，以確認一個人的身份。
The proposal supported by most people was to adopt the practice of immigration clearance that is to verify ones identity by inserting an identity card into a card reader followed by fingerprint checking
人有相似並不出奇，主席，對嗎？
It is nothing strange for people to look alike right President?
人手點票便有這問題。
Vote counting by hand would have such a problem
我聽聞有些個案據我所知至少有一個選區的監察點票的人......
I have heard that in some cases as far as I know the counting agents in at least one constituency
但是，我覺得條例有很多不足的地方，我早前跟局長反映過，局長表示該條例有很多地方都需要修改。
However I think there are a number of inadequacies in the relevant ordinance . I have expressed this view to the Secretary and he said amendments were needed in many aspects of the ordinance
所以，我希望透過對這次辯論，表達我雖然支持《條例草案》，但我覺得社會要進步，選舉要民主、要公平，精益求精，應該讓我有機會表達。
Hence I hope that through this debate I can convey the following message ie . even though I support the Bill I think society should make advancement and elections should be held in a democratic and fair manner with improvements made . Hence I should be allowed to express these views
還有一個個案是，候選人和監察點票的人被不知明人士阻止進入票站，令他們不能監察點票程序。
In another case the candidate and the counting agent were barred from entering the polling station by some unknown people . Hence they could not monitor the vote counting process
主席，有些事項可能涉及日後法例修訂，而這次修訂過於"細眉細眼"，局長，其實我有點失望。
President some matters may be related to the future legislative amendments and the present amendments are too trivial . Secretary in fact I am a little disappointed
因為這涉及公平問題，例如傷殘人士或身體虛弱的人不適宜長時間排隊輪候，如何保障這群傷健或患病人士？
This involves the issue of fairness . For example people with physical disabilities or people in poor health should not queue up for a long time . How can we safeguard these peoples right to vote?
現在流言四起，我們已不斷澄清，令大家信服投票結果，而問題太嚴重的，我們會考慮提出呈請。
Given that rumours are now flying around we have kept making clarifications to persuade people to accept the voting results . For serious problems we will consider lodging election petitions
我們希望有一個好制度，令爭議減少，同時在技術上改進，推動民主選舉。
We hope that a good system will be put in place to reduce conflicts and at the same time technical improvements should be made to promote democratic elections
多謝主席，亦多謝郭偉强議員。
Thank you President . My thanks also go to Mr KWOK Wai - keung
在這3條鐵路中，一條在日本，一條在澳洲，最後一條在香港。
Of these three railways one is in Japan one in Australia and the last one in Hong Kong
其實，我們現時的選舉制度亦一樣。
In fact our current electoral system is just the same
制度永遠未必能夠做到完美；然而，人的質素才是一個選舉制度的質量最大的一個演示。
A system may not always achieve perfection but the quality of people is the most crucial indicator of the quality of an electoral system
