但是，特首已經委任退休法官夏正民領導調查委員會，調查委員會有權傳召證人作供，全面調查沙中線紅磡站的施工問題、受影響的鋼筋範圍，以及港鐵公司和港府監管鐵路工程的機制，預計需時6個月便能完成調查。
That said the Chief Executive has already appointed Mr Michael John HARTMANN a retired Judge to lead a Commission of Inquiry with summoning power to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the construction problems with Hung Hom Station of SCL the range of problematic steel bars and the mechanism of MTRCL and the Hong Kong Government for supervising railway projects . It is expected that the inquiry takes six months
而且，當年夏官調查廣深港高鐵香港段工程超支時，明確指出政府和港鐵公司問題所在，批評路政署在監督港鐵公司上犯了4宗罪，處事公正並指出問題所在，給予市民很大的信心，亦獲廣大市民高度評價。
Furthermore when inquiring into the project cost overruns of the Hong Kong Section of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link years back Mr Justice Michael John HARTMANN explicitly pointed out the problems with the Government and MTRCL criticizing the Highways Department for committing four mistakes in monitoring MTRCL . As he had dealt with the matter in an impartial manner and pointed out the problems he gave people great confidence and won accolades from the general public
所以，我認為暫時無需要架床疊屋，由立法會插手調查。
For this reason for the time being I think we need not take a superfluous move by having the Legislative Council interfere and conduct an investigation
我希望政府真的能汲取教訓，好好督促港鐵公司做好沙中線工程，要確保工程的質量，更不可以令人有置市民大眾安全於不顧的感覺。
I hope that the Government can truly draw a lesson and seriously urge MTRCL to properly undertake the SCL project ensure project quality and strive to avoid giving people the impression that it disregards public safety
此外，由法官擔任主席的調查委員會的職權範圍亦不宜太窄，可以把問題全盤找出來，加以糾正。
In addition the remit of the judge - led Commission of Inquiry should not be too narrow so that it can identify all the problems to be rectified
我相信法官擔任主席的調查委員會所花的時間會 較立法會所用的時間短，程序上也會較立法會更有效率和公信力，因此我不會支持鄭松泰議員今天這項議案。
I believe that the judge - led Commission of Inquiry will spend a shorter time than that of the Legislative Council and it will be more efficient and credible than the Legislative Council in the process so I will not support Dr CHENG Chung - tais motion today
代理主席，鄭松泰議員根據《立法會條例》動議成立專責委員會，調查香港鐵路有限公司涉嫌隱瞞不合規格工程的事宜，我發言支持鄭松泰議員的議案。
Deputy President I speak in support of Dr CHENG Chung - tais motion to appoint a select committee under the Legislative Council Ordinance to inquire into the concealment of the substandard construction works by the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL
今年5月30日，《蘋果日報》揭發港鐵公司紅磡站擴建地盤懷疑鋼筋遭剪短、接駁位造假的醜聞。
In 30 May this year Apple Daily uncovered the falsification scandal of the Hung Hom Station extension works where steel bars had allegedly been cut short to be fitted into couplers
事件曝光後，港鐵公司行事方式依舊，不但未有解決問題，反而設法針對提出問題的人，更遑論開誠布公。
After this incident came to light MTRCL maintained its usual practice of not addressing the problem but sparing no effort to attack the person who raised the question . MTRCL has in no way been open and transparent
港鐵公司只以"大話掩飾大話"的方法隱瞞事件，甚至"惡人先告狀"批評傳媒誤導，又稱工程人員在2015年12月巡查時已發現相關施工質素未符合要求，並早已要求承建商跟進及糾正。
It has used one lie after another to cover up the truth and has even accused the media of misleading the public . It claimed that its engineering personnel had found the substandard works during their inspection in December 2015 and had already asked the contractor to follow up and rectify the anomalies
可是，《蘋果日報》其後引述內部文件，指工程早於2015年7月便開始落石屎，與港鐵公司的說法明顯有出入。
However Apple Daily subsequently quoted an internal document which pointed out that the concreting work started in July 2015 . This was apparently contrary to MTRCLs claim
過程中同時揭發陳帆局長及政府部門早於1年前已知悉事件。
It has also been revealed that Secretary Frank CHAN and the relevant government departments were aware of the incident as early as one year ago
陳帆局長在醜聞揭發後，竟讚揚港鐵公司"非常負責任"。
After the scandal was exposed Secretary Frank CHAN even commended MTRCL for being very responsible
最後，港鐵公司在輿論壓力及議員追問下，才"不認不認還須認"，承認早於2015年8月已發現有鋼筋被剪短。
However under the pressure of public opinions and having been pursued by Members MTRCL finally admitted reluctantly that the cutting of steel bars was found in August 2015
整個政府、整個議會，甚至是整個香港社會，均成了港鐵公司的玩弄對象。
As a matter of fact not only the Secretary the Government this Council and even the entire Hong Kong community have all been fooled by MTRCL
其後，港鐵公司在記者會上，仍未有交代問題鋼筋的數目，又沒有解釋為何未曾向董事局和政府匯報有關事件，只要求工程總承建商禮頓建築有限公司盡快向公眾交代。
Later at a press conference MTRCL did not reveal the number of problematic steel bars . It also did not explain why it had not reported the incident to its Board of Directors and the Government and had only asked the main contractor Leighton Contractor Asia Ltd Leighton to give an account to the public as soon as possible
此外，有報道指被剪短的鋼筋共5,000根，情況相當嚴重。
Furthermore it had been reported that a total of 5 000 steel bars had been cut short which was very serious indeed
特首在6月12日終於宣布根據《調查委員會條例》成立獨立調查委員會，負責調查沙田至中環線紅磡站工程，由前終審法院非常任法官夏正民出任委員會主席。
The Chief Executive finally announced on 12 June that a Commission of Inquiry led by Mr Michael John HARTMANN former non - permanent Judge of the Court of Final Appeal would be formed under the Commissions of Inquiry Ordinance to inquire into the construction works of Hung Hom Station of the Shatin to Central Link SCL
特首要求調查委員會在6個月內提交報告。
The Chief Executive asked the Commission to submit a report within six months
由於事件涉及公眾安全，政府和港鐵公司的工程管理亦引起了公眾關注，我相信成立調查委員會調查切合公眾的期望。
As this incident involves public safety and the Government and MTRCLs management of the works has also aroused public concern I believe the establishment of the Commission of Inquiry can meet public expectations
可是，成立調查委員會卻未能完全釋除公眾的疑慮。
Nevertheless the establishment of the Commission of Inquiry will not completely ease the mind of the public
自紅磡站鋼筋被剪短的醜聞遭揭發後，沙中線土瓜灣站和會展站亦相繼被揭發偷工減料土瓜灣站有鋼筋被移除；會展站則未放置足夠的工字鐵支撐。
Since the exposure of the scandal concerning the cutting of steel bars at Hung Hom Station incidents of cutting corners have also been uncovered one after another at To Kwa Wan Station and Exhibition Centre . It was found that steel bars had been removed at To Kwa Wan Station and insufficient supporting I - beams were placed at Exhibition Centre Station
可是，由於獨立委員會的權力和調查範圍，均由政府事先訂明，有關規範將影響獨立委員會的最終結果。
However as the investigation powers and scope of inquiry of these independent committees are determined by the Government the final results of the inquiries may be affected
近日，政府官員作出回應時，均表示希望將調查委員會的調查範圍聚焦在紅磡站月台工程。
In recent days government officials have in response indicated that scope of inquiry of the Commission of Inquiry should be focused on inquiring into the platform construction works at Hung Hom Station
特首林鄭月娥表示，為免調查委員會"失焦"，會將調查範圍收窄至紅磡站；至於沙中線其他車站出現的工程問題，則會由運輸及房屋局及地政總署負責。
According to Chief Executive Carrie LAM in order to avoid the inquiry of the Commission of Inquiry getting out of focus the scope should be limited to Hung Hom Station . As for the construction problems found in other stations of SCL the Transport and Housing Bureau and the Lands Department will be responsible for investigation
可是，目前被揭發的問題，已經延伸至土瓜灣站和會展站，我們已知的事件只是冰山一角。
However the problems uncovered so far have been extended to To Kwa Wan Station and Exhibition Centre Station and the problems emerged are only the tip of the iceberg
如調查委員會的調查範圍只限於紅磡站或其中的一部分，是否足以識別出沙中線所有問題？
If the Commission of Inquiry only focuses its inquiry on Hung Hom Station or even on part of the Station will it be able to identify all the problems involving SCL?
是否足以確保安全？
Can safety be ensured?
據報局長辦公室對分判商中科興業有限公司早前提出有關沙中線的疑問視若無睹，草草結案。
It was reported that the Office had turned a blind eye to the allegations previously made by the subcontractor China Technology Corporation Ltd and hastily closed the case
此外，該局屬下的路政署，本應負責監管鐵路興建事宜。
Besides the Highways Department HyD under the Bureau should be responsible for monitoring the construction of railways
因此，立法會透過《條例》成立調查委員會調查事件涉及的工程、管理及監管問題，實在有其必要。
Hence it is necessary for the Legislative Council to set up a select committee under the Ordinance to inquire into the problems involving the management and supervision of the works concerned in this incident
基於公眾安全而向政府告密的分判商，卻被總承建商壓制和脅迫，同樣情況亦可能出現在其他分判商身上。
The subcontractor who acted as a whistle - blower out of his concern for public safety was subjected to suppression and threats by the main contractor . This may also happen to other subcontractors
田北辰議員亦指禮頓"大到冇人敢郁佢"。
Mr Michael TIEN also said that Leighton was such a big company that no one dared to find fault with it
我對於紅磡站的獨立調查有信心。然而，我卻只是擔心土瓜灣站、會展站及沙中線其他工程的情況，以及依賴港鐵公司和政府自行跟進問題的做法。
I have confidence in the independent inquiry into Hung Hom Station but I am worried about the conditions of To Kwa Wan Station and Exhibition Centre Station and other construction works of SCL as well as the practice of relying on MTRCL and the Government to follow up on the problems
因此，立法會應行使法例賦予的權力，成立調查委員會調查，讓沙中線工程可以顯示在陽光下，讓公眾可以共同監督、共同重建信心。
Therefore the Legislative Council should exercise its power vested on it by the Ordinance to set up a select committee to expose the works of SCL under the sun thereby allowing the public to join in the supervision and rebuild their confidence in SCL
這種論調引起公眾譁然，公眾無法接受這種言論的原因清楚不過。
The reason for the public to detest this saying is clear enough
因此，市民不能接受"我們告訴你OK便沒有問題"的說法。
Hence people cannot accept the saying that if I tell you it is OK then it is OK
立法會成立調查委員會，正正就是要對抗這種"我告訴你OK便OK"的心態。
The establishment of a select committee by the Legislative Council is to resist such an attitude
我們要捍衞廉明、公正的制度，讓事件在陽光下接受大眾監察，讓我們共同在陽光下重建香港的質素和信心。
We have to strive for a clean and just system and the incident should be laid under the sun for public monitoring . Let us rebuild our confidence in the quality of Hong Kong under the sun
最後我想提出一點，禮頓雖然已在昨天就紅磡站工程問題向政府提交報告，但報告卻未有公開。
Finally I would like to mention one point . Although Leighton submitted a report to the Government on the works problems of Hung Hom Station yesterday the report has not been made public
香港人只有期望政府作進一步交代。
Hong Kong people can only hope that the Government will give a further account
然而，政府最終選擇交代甚麼，不交代甚麼，普羅市民根本無權過問。
However whatever the Government decides to make public or to conceal the general public will have no say at all
若政府繼續以同一態度處理問題，要市民接受"政府告訴你OK便OK"的話，市民對於任何事情均無權過問。
If the Government continues to adopt this attitude to deal with the problems and expects the people to accept if the Government tells you it is OK then it is OK people will have no say in anything
沙中線揭發的種種工程問題已充分反映，政府和港鐵公司根本無法有效監管工程，整個監管制度存在制度性的漏洞。
The various works problems exposed in respect of SCL have fully reflected that both the Government and MTRCL have failed to monitor the works effectively and the entire monitoring system is rife with systemic loopholes
我認為政府的獨立調查有其必要，但絕對不足夠。
I think the independent inquiry commissioned by the Government is necessary but is by no means sufficient
立法會作為監察政府施政的架構，必須擔當應有的角色。
The Legislative Council being the institution to monitor the Governments governance must take up this responsibility and performed its due role
事實上，一個文明社會需要健康的告密者。
As a matter of fact a civilized society needs healthy whistle - blowers
然而，他們所面對的壓力、驚恐和脅迫，我們又會否關心？
But do we care about the pressure fear and threat they are experiencing?
另一做法是把租金加幅計入售價，把售價調升，將加幅轉嫁到消費者身上。
Another approach is to include the rental increase in the selling price and increase the selling price shifting all burdens to the consumers
不單領展是這樣，其他商場同樣如此。
This is not only the case with Link REIT but also with other shopping centres
在資本主義發揮的影響下，很多時候商場不斷加租，同時讓連鎖商戶擁有全部商鋪，令小市民、小商戶，特別是小數族裔沒有機會發揮其所長或銷售他們製造的物品，我認為這種做法真的很不恰當。
Under the influence of capitalism shopping malls tend to increase rents constantly and all shops tend to be occupied by chain store operators . Therefore ordinary people and small traders especially the ethnic minorities do not have the opportunity to give full play to their strengths or sell the products they made . I think this approach is really inappropriate
雖然墟市未必可以真正打破資本主資的大框架，但不失為小市民的出路。
Although bazaars may not necessarily be able to upset the capitalistic framework they can at least provide ordinary people with a way out
然而，很可惜，政府名義上十分關注墟市的發展，但小組委員會與政府經過1年時間的討論，我們在過程中看到政府對此真的並不關心，他們只是交功課，稍為向社會作出回應便算，既無心又無力推行有關墟市的工作。
Although the Government claimed to be very concerned about the development of bazaars we have noted that in the course of the one - year discussion between the Subcommittee and the Government the Government is not truly concerned about the issue . Government officials just want to do something in order to respond to the community they have no intention and have made no efforts to implement bazaars
還是當區區議員的支持？
Does it mean the support of the DC members in the district concerned?
所以，政府現時的指引很多地方並不清晰，同時手續又繁複，有些團體表示已申請了1年多，至今仍未有結果。
Therefore the existing guidelines of the Government are very unclear and the procedures are complicated . Some organizations indicated that they have submitted their application for more than a year but the result is still pending
主席，最近聽到徐副局長的回應，我真的很懷疑我與副局長是否活在一個平衡的時空。
President having heard the response of Under Secretary Dr CHUI Tak - yi . I really doubt if the Under Secretary and I are living in the same time and space
副局長那邊的世界很精彩，而我與民間團體這邊的世界卻真的很無奈。
While the world inhabited by the Under Secretary is very exciting the world inhabited by the community organizations and me is quite pathetic
關於今天的議案，我想小組委員會主席郭家麒議員不會介意我在開始發言時先感謝前議員劉小麗。
As regards todays motion I think Dr KWOK Ka - ki Chairman of the Subcommittee on Issues Relating to Bazaars would not mind if I first thank the former Member Dr LAU Siu - lai in my speech
在2016年12月6日至2017年7月14日期間，劉小麗主持了10次墟市事宜小組委員會會議。
Between 6 December 2016 and 14 July 2017 Dr LAU Siu - lai chaired 10 meetings of the Subcommittee
她一直爭取落實墟市政策，在這10次會議期間，她成功地促使地政總署交出155頁有關"綠化或其他社區用途的空置土地"的資料，發現情況並非像政府過去經常掛在口邊般"無地可用"，而是"有地沒有人用"。
She has been striving for the implementation of a policy on bazaars . During those 10 meetings she managed to get the Lands Department release 155 pages of information on vacant lands for greening or other community purposes . It was found that the situation was not that no lands were available as always claimed by the Government in the past but lands available were not put to use
當中有部分土地適合供民間團體申辦墟市，這也揭穿了政府多年來推搪說在屋邨申辦墟市屬違反地契的謊言，最終迫使房屋署公開"公共屋邨墟市申請表及申請流程指引"，以及迫使香港房屋委員會公開"慈善團 體/機構在屋邨內進行臨時墟市活動申請書"，容許團體在屋邨範圍內申辦墟市。
There are actually lands suitable for holding bazaars by community organizations . The Governments lie over the years that holding bazaars in public rental housing PRH estates will breach the land lease has been exposed . Finally the Housing Department is forced to make public the application form for setting up bazaars in PRH estates and guidelines on the application procedure and the Hong Kong Housing Authority is forced to make public the application by charity groupsorganizations for holding temporary bazaar activities in PRH estates making it possible for organizations to set up bazaars in PRH estates
然而，現時政府仍然未有具體的墟市政策。
However the Government has yet to formulate a specific policy on bazaars
即使陳教授在今屆政府擔任局長，也仍然只是派出副局長徐德義醫生出席會議，我對此表示遺憾及失望，因為我看到局方對於落實及改善墟市政策的態度。
After Prof Sophia CHAN became the incumbent Secretary for Food and Health she still assigned Under Secretary for Food and Health Dr CHUI Tak - yi to attend the meetings . This arrangement has reflected the Bureaus attitude in implementing and improving the policy on bazaars . I find this regrettable and disappointing
現時墟市政策仍然是由不同部門共同處理。
At present the policy on bazaars is still jointly enforced by different departments
然而，兩個屋邨均屬房屋署用地，而墟市也具康樂性質，因此又屬於康樂及文化事務署的管轄範圍，而領展亦同時管有該等用地的部分範圍。
Hence the community organization wanted to set up bazaars in eight feasible land lots in Yat Tung Estate and Fu Tung Estate . It had to deal with the Housing Department responsible for managing the two PRH estates; the Leisure and Cultural Services Department LCSD since bazaars were recreational in nature as well as Link REIT which has control of part of the land
正如墟市事宜小組委員會報告所述，現時政府發展墟市的模式是由下而上。
As stated in the report of the Subcommittee the Government now adopts a bottom - up approach in the development of bazaars
談到這方面，我覺得政府在這項政策上的所謂"由下而上"真是比粗言穢語更難聽，因為此"由下而上"不同於彼"由下而上"。
In this connection I think the so - called bottom - up approach adopted by the Government in respect of bazaars development is even worse than foul language because this bottom - up approach is different from the other bottom - up approach
政府在墟市政策上的所謂"由下而上"，說穿了就是把"球"交給民間團體，同時把民間團體像球一樣踢來踢去，令民間團體花大量時間在申辦程序及手續上。
To put it bluntly the Governments so - called bottom - up approach in the implementation of the bazaar policy is to pass the buck to community organizations and then kick the organizations around like a ball making them spend a lot of time on the application procedures
民間團體須向區議會遞交申請書，又要向房屋署、地政總署、康文署等申請使用屬意的閒置土地作墟市用途。
To hold a bazaar the organization has to apply to the relevant District Council and then apply to the Housing Department Lands Department and LCSD for using the idle land for the said purpose
即使有關區議會在2016年支持申請墟市用地，但康文署又以足球場使用率高為由，拒絕使用其中一幅球場用地的申請。
Even though the District Council concerned approved the application in 2016 LCSD turned down the application to set up a bazaar in one of the football pitches for reason that the football pitch had a high usage rate
即使民間團體向康文署表明不會長時間佔用該幅足球場用地，康文署仍然不願意批出用地。
Even though the community organization promised LCSD that it would not occupy the pitch for a long time LCSD still did not give approval
此外，房屋署的用地受領展業權所影響，亦不批出用地，最終只有地政總署批出一條單車徑當中的部分用地用作營辦墟市用途。
Moreover as lands of the Housing Department are affected by the ownership of Link REIT approval was not granted . Finally only the Lands Department granted part of the land along a cycling route to set up a bazaar
民間團體足足用了1年時間，才可以在該幅用地上營辦為期16個星期六的墟市，累贅的程序拖延了給予居民選擇。
The organization has spent one whole year before it could set up a bazaar on that land for 16 Saturdays . The cumbersome procedures have denied residents of a choice
事實上，民間團體、議員及我過往曾多次在墟市事宜小組委員會會議席上，要求政府簡化申辦墟市程序，以及成立跨部門專責小組，以統一墟市政策的執行及處理申請的程序。
In fact at the meetings of the Subcommittee community organizations other Members and I have repeatedly asked the Government to streamline the application procedures and set up an inter - departmental task force to standardize the implementation of the policy on bazaars and the processing of applications
她在參選時信誓旦旦，當選後卻逃之夭夭，在整份施政報告當中全無提出任何具體的墟市政策。
She was earnest in making the pledge when she ran for the election; but after she was elected her pledge had vanished into thin airs . In her policy address nothing was mentioned about any specific policy on bazaars whatsoever
在林鄭月娥的首份施政報告及今次的墟市事宜小組委員會報告中，提及"起動九龍東"的周末市集項目，這仍然是"離地"的墟市措施。
In Carrie LAMs first policy address and in the Subcommittees report the weekend flea market organized by the Energizing Kowloon East Office was mentioned yet this bazaar measure is still out of touch with reality
在今年2月，劉小麗、民間團體及姚松炎教授分析了全港過去10個曾舉辦墟市的試點，以及政府計劃在前啟德機場跑道末端舉辦的墟市，並按墟市的環境、可達性及鄰近住宅單位的密度評分。
In February this year Dr LAU Siu - lai community organizations and Prof YIU Chung - yim analysed 10 trial points where bazaars had been held and the site at the end of the runway of the former Kai Tak Airport proposed by the Government and gave a score to each of the sites according to the environment accessibility and the density of residential units in the neighbourhood
過往的一些墟市項目，例如牛頭角下邨的露天劇場、黃大仙的露天劇場、深水埗九江街等，也因為鄰近商戶及住宅，人流較多，而墟市檔主亦方便購買物資而被選擇。
The sites of bazaars held in the past such as the open - air theatre in Lower Ngau Tau Kok Estate the open - air theatre in Wong Tai Sin and Kiu Kiang Street in Sham Shui Po were chosen on account of their proximity to shops and residential buildings the high passenger volumes and also the easiness of bringing in goods and other materials by stall owners
在前議員劉小麗及郭家麒議員的帶領下，這個小組委員會在過去兩年 有很多有意義的討論。
Under the leadership of former Member Dr LAU Siu - lai and Dr KWOK Ka - ki the Subcommittee had conducted many meaningful discussions in the past two years
這些事情給我一種深刻的體驗，就是政府沒有心、沒有誠意推動墟市政策，當局仍停留在官僚主義。
These experiences gave us a strong feeling that the Government has no intention or commitment in taking forward its policy on bazaars and the authorities are still maintaining a bureaucratic mindset
因為我們說的墟市，既是經濟，亦是文化。
Bazaars that we are referring to are economic activities which represent a culture
此外，我們亦要求政府設立一個可供團體、公民社會廣泛參與的墟市諮詢委員會，提出試驗計劃，讓不同團體推動墟市，政府真正落實政策，讓市民看得見。
In addition we also ask the Government to set up a consultative committee on bazaars thereby enabling the extensive involvement of various groups and the civil society the proposal of trial schemes and the promotion of promote bazaars . The Government should allow the public to see for themselves that the policy has actually been implemented
最後，我們希望墟市達致恆常化，可以"一區多市"，讓市民、社會大眾真正感受到墟市的政策。
Finally we hope that bazaars can be held on a regular basis and the objective of multiple bazaars in a district can be achieved so that the general public can well understand the policy on bazaars
受這套官僚思維驅使，政府各部門相繼建立框架或規定，凡事也要向各部門申請。
The bureaucratic mindset has prompted various government departments to formulate frameworks or regulations one after another such that applications are required for everything
小組委員會委員滿以為發展墟市很簡單，只須與政府商討便可，結果在過程中卻經歷了經營墟市申請者所講述的漫長痛苦和困難：我們向部門提出問題，對方總是如"擠牙膏"般慢慢回覆。
Members of the Subcommittee initially thought that applying to hold a bazaar was a very simple matter and the applicant only had to discuss with the Government but during the process of our deliberation we personally experienced the prolonged pain and difficulties described by the bazaar applicants . Whenever we put questions to the government departments they would always respond slowly like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube
正因如此，今天到本會答辯的官員既非政務司司長，也非民政事務局局長，而是食物及衞生局的代表，更非陳肇始局長本人，而是由副局長頂替，我覺得這某程度也反映了政府推動墟市的態度。
For this reason the public officer in attendance today is neither the Chief Secretary nor the Secretary for Home Affairs but a representative from the Food and Health Bureau not Secretary Prof Sophia CHAN herself but the Under Secretary . I think this reflects to a certain extent the Governments attitude in promoting bazaars
"管理先行，秩序至上"，致令香港墟市發展舉步維艱。
The approach of management takes priority and public order matters most has hindered the development of bazaars
小組委員會1年前曾通過議案，要求當局訂立清晰、劃一和簡單的地區諮詢及申請流程。
The Subcommittee passed a motion a year ago urging the Government to devise a set of clear standardized and simple procedures for community consultation and bazaar application
政府此舉雖然進步了，告知市民有多少重關卡，無須自行尋找這方面的資料，卻非一條大路通羅馬，讓申請者只須填寫一份申請表便解決所有問題。
Though the Governments action is an improvement in that the guidelines inform the public of the number of hurdles to overcome thus relieving them of the need to find the information themselves; there is still no highway to success as the applicant cannot fill in a single application form to solve all the problems
其實，政府現時多個部門都提供一站式申請程序，我不明白為何墟市相關申請卻做不到。
In fact since many government departments have already adopted a one - stop application process in other matters I do not understand why the same cannot be done with regard to bazaar application
我覺得政府部門現行的做法非常官僚，其中之一是房屋署，其轄下的78個公共屋邨其實可提供很多空間發展墟市。
I think the current approach adopted by government departments is very bureaucratic . An example is the Housing Department . The 78 public housing estates under its purview can actually provide much room for developing bazaars
事件確實是一場災難，對港鐵公司和政府來說是公關災難，但更重要是其潛在風險威脅公眾安全，是公共交通的計時炸彈，隨時會變成真正的交通災難。
This incident is really a disaster . To the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL and the Government it is a public relations disaster . More importantly it is a time bomb in public transport threatening public safety and may turn into a real traffic disaster anytime
我相信在席的每位同事及全港市民都不想看到有此災難。
I do not think any colleagues present or any people in Hong Kong will want to see this happen
港鐵公司主席馬時亨提出"OK論"，只要他說OK便OK，他又叫人向前看。
Frederick MA Chairman of MTRCL put forward the OK theory if he said it was OK then it was OK . He also told us to be forward - looking
如果凡事都採取這種態度，其實甚麼也不成問題，"衰咗唔駛認，打亦唔駛企定"，因為只須向前看，即使出錯也向前看，這真是無敵金句。
If this attitude is adopted in handling every situation there will simply be no problems at all . No one will have to admit his faults or accept punishment because all we have to do is to look forward . Even if mistakes were made we should still look forward
政府本身多少也有這種傾向，局長同樣經常抱着這種"向前看"的心態解決問題。
What a magnificent motto! . The Government has somehow adopted this inclination . For most of the time the Secretary addresses problems with this forward - looking mentality
