今屆有不少新晉導演和創作人獲獎，據官方統計，入圍的新晉導演平均年齡只有34歲，證明香港的年輕一代，是非常有才華、創意十足、想象力無窮。
A number of new film directors and filmmakers have won awards this year . According to official statistics the average age of these new film directors shortlisted is at 34 a proof that the young generation in Hong Kong are very talented and creative gifted with rich imagination
而剛過去的特首選戰，亦不乏年輕的競選辦人 員，為各候選人出謀獻策，主打網絡宣傳戰，不少動人畫面、片段和文宣工作，均是透過社交媒體發放，令人印象猶深。
In the recent Chief Executive Election the campaign offices of the candidates were no lack of young members . Focusing on the cyber publicity war they mapped out strategies and created many touching scenes episodes and publicity work in the social media . It is really impressive
年輕人的創意和才華是毋庸置疑的，問題是，我們怎樣協助他們發揮天分，繼而令他們可以在人生旅途上發光發熱？
The young people are undoubtedly talented and creative . The question is how we can help them develop their talents to let them shine and thrive in their life journey
香港電影和特首選戰，帶給我們的啟示是，信任我們的下一代，給他們時間、空間和機會。
What the Hong Kong film industry and the Chief Executive Election tell us is that we have to trust our next generation . We have to give them time spaces and opportunities
近年很多年輕人選擇創業，香港的初創風氣已經漸漸形成，根據政府給我們的回覆，在2016年，香港有1,920間初創企業，較2015年增加了24%，僱用超過5,200人。
In recent years many young people have opted to start up their own businesses . The trend of starting up business begins to take shape . According to the Governments reply there were 1 920 start - ups in 2016 an increase of 24 % from 2015
這些初創企業大部分從事電腦資訊科技、電子商貿、專業或顧問服務等範疇。
Employing more than 5 200 staff these start - ups mainly engage in computer and information technology e - commerce professional or consultancy services
政府將會投入20億元在創科創投基金，帶動更多科技公司在香港成立，為本地青年創造更多高增值的職位。
The Government will invest 2 billion in the Innovation and Technology Venture Fund to attract more technology companies to set up their businesses in Hong Kong thereby creating more high value - added jobs for the youngsters
我十分歡迎政府這項舉措，期望可以進一步推動良好的初創氛圍。
I greatly welcome this policy initiative hoping that the measure could further foster the favourable atmosphere for starting up business in the territory
與此同時，政府亦成立創新、科技發展與"再工業化"委員會，統籌進程，我期望委員會日後會研究與產業相關的法律檢討工作，拆牆鬆綁，令創科產業可以持續地發展。
Besides the Government will also set up a committee on innovation and technology development and re - industrialization to coordinate the relevant development progress . I hope that the committee could study conducting legislative review on the industry in order to remove the unnecessary barriers thus enabling the sustainable development of the innovation and technology industry
創科是近年來最有潛力的經濟產業支柱之一，在第十二屆全國人大五次會議上，李克強總理在政府工作報告中，首次提到建設粵港澳大灣區的規劃，構建珠三角經濟區的9個城市，以及香港和澳門兩個特別行政區，建成"三藩市灣區加強版"的高科技城市群。
In recent years innovation and technology has become one of pillar industries with the greatest potentials . When delivering the Report on the Work of the Government at the Fifth Session of the Twelfth National Peoples Congress Premier LI Keqiang mentioned for the first time the plan to develop the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area which aims to build an enhanced version of the San Francisco Bay Area a high - tech city cluster embracing nine cities in the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone and the two Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macao
長遠而言，對香港是一個很大的機遇。
It is a remarkable opportunity for Hong Kong in the long run
三藩市灣區的成功之處，必然是科學技術、商業模式創新，走得最前；而頂尖的教學與研究，便滋養了這個區的成長。
The San Francisco Bay Area is successful because it is at the forefront in the areas of science and technology and the innovative commercial model . The distinguished teaching and research also fosters the growth of the area
加洲大學柏克萊分校、史丹福大學等頂尖學府，每年培育大量人才，只有源源不絕的"新血"，才可以確保一個經濟區的健康發展。
The top - notch universities help nurture a large number of talents every year . Only a steady supply of new bloods can ensure the healthy development of an economic zone
政府花費在建構創科基建的同時，亦要花時間心思在軟件方面，包括教育、研究和法例檢討，而最重要的是，信任年輕人，給予他們時間、空間和機會。
In addition to investment in the infrastructure for innovation and technology the Government also needs to spend time and efforts on the software of education research and legislative review work . Most importantly the city has to trust its young people and to give them time spaces and opportunities
只要我們肯花資源培訓人才，香港經濟將會更多元化，城市更有生命力，亦能夠充分把握國家的發展機遇，前途無限。
Hong Kong will have a bright future with a more diversified economy and more vibrant city to sufficiently capture the development opportunities offered by the country if it is willing to invest in nurturing talents
代理主席，第二點我想談談旅遊業。
Deputy President the second area I would like to talk about is tourism
旅遊業是香港經濟的重要支柱之一，佔本地生產總值約5%，就業人數達27萬人，亦帶動了其他 相關行業，包括零售、酒店及餐飲業。
The tourism industry employing 270 000 people locally is an important pillar of Hong Kongs economy . Tourism not only accounts for about 5 % of our gross domestic product but also gives boost to other related sectors including retail hotel and catering industries
過去旅遊業是本港經濟增長的火車頭之一，但去年開始，訪港的內地旅客卻持續減少，人均消費亦相應下降，敲響了行業危機的警號。
In the past tourism was one of the locomotives driving the growth of the local economy . However since last year both the number of Mainland travellers visiting Hong Kong and their per capita spending have shown a declining trend . This sounds the alarm for the industry
根據香港旅遊發展局最新的數據，今年截至2月，過夜的旅客人數平均較去年同期上升4.5%，有439萬人次，如果只看數據，似乎整體有回升趨勢，但我認為絕對不能掉以輕心，過分樂觀面對當下局面。
According to the latest statistics released by the Hong Kong Tourism Board as at this February there were 4.39 million overnight visitor arrivals representing an increase of 4.5 % over the same period last year . While there seems to be an overall rebound in the number of visitors if we only look at the figures we cannot afford to be complacent and overly optimistic about the current situation . A survey published by Youth IDEAS
去年8月，香港青年協會青年創研庫發表了一份調查，顯示訪港旅客的消費模式有顯著變化，他們來香港，已不再是單純大額購物消費，年輕一代的旅客更期望了解香港歷史文化，感受不同面貌的香港。
of The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups last August shows that the consumption patterns of visitors to Hong Kong have markedly changed . They are no longer satisfied with solely shopping and big spending . For the younger generation they are more eager to understand Hong Kongs history and culture and to experience the various aspects of the city
所以，業界應該尋找更長遠的出路，不能再消費過去"購物天堂"、"美食天堂"的老本，不斷"食老本"的後果，就是將會被其他鄰近國家和地區"爬頭"。
In the light of this the trade needs to look for a longer - term way out as it can no longer rely on its past advantages of the shopping paradise and the gourmets paradise otherwise Hong Kong will be taken over by its neighbouring countries and regions
今年預算案延續了去年的政策，繼續豁免旅行社、酒店、旅館、食肆等一年的牌照費，又撥出2億4,300萬元支援業界，當中1,200萬元用來資助具本地特色的旅遊活動，500萬元則用來資助業界推廣綠色深度遊。
As in last year this years Budget also waives the licence fees for travel agents hotels and guesthouses and restaurants . Moreover a sum of 243 million will be allocated to support the tourism industry including 12 million to fund the development of tourism projects with local characteristics and 5 million for the promotion of environmental tourism
代理主席，預算案的確回應了過去社會對旅遊業以內地旅客及消費為主導的批評，但是，香港本土的旅遊項目，是否有足夠吸引力吸客呢？
Deputy President the Budget has indeed responded to the criticism that the tourism industry has been overly relied on Mainland tourists and their spending . However are the local tourism projects attractive enough to draw tourists?
如果政府能夠放寬住宿作為體驗旅遊，吸引力必然大增。
The attractiveness of the local tourism will be greatly boosted if the Government can relax its rules on accommodation to allow experiential travel
較早前，荔枝窩獲得馬會撥款5,000萬元，修葺25間村屋，推行"客家文化體驗村"，日後文化村落成後，旅客可以租住村屋，欣賞鄉郊風景，感受獨特多元的香港。
In a project to develop the Hakka Life Experience Village Lai Chi Wo has earlier received a funding of 50 million from the Jockey Club to renovate its 25 village houses . After the renovation the village houses are available for accommodating tourists to allow them to enjoy the rural charm and experience the unique and diversified Hong Kong
這正是我早前就"充分發揮本地旅遊資源的優勢"的議案發言中，所指的生態旅遊發展方向。
This is essentially the direction for the development of eco - tourism I referred to during my speech on the motion regarding Giving full play to the edges of local tourism resources
然而，荔枝窩做得再好，香港亦只得一個荔枝窩，單靠這個地點，並不足以撐起整個生態旅遊的大旗。
However no matter how attractive Lai Chi Wo is there is only one Lai Chi Wo in Hong Kong . This single project is unable to prop up the entire eco - tourism development
所謂"工欲善其事，必先利其器"，要做好生態旅遊，必先做好配套，發掘更多適宜作生態旅遊的地點。
As the saying goes an artisan must first sharpen his tools before he can do a good job . If we want to promote eco - tourism we have to provide the necessary support and explore more suitable eco - tourism spots
香港其實還有不少偏遠鄉村擁有天然美景及人文文化，只要政府肯增加資源，協助有條件的偏遠鄉村復村，發展生態旅遊將會是旅遊業的另一條出路。
Actually there are still quite a number of remote villages in Hong Kong exhibiting their natural beauty and culture . If the Government is willing to allocate more resources to help the rehabilitation of potential remote villages the development of eco - tourism will be another way out for the tourism industry
最後，我想談談教育。
Finally I would like to talk about education
已故北京大學校長蔡元培曾經說過："教育者，非為已往，非為現在，而專為將來。
CAI Yuanpei the late President of the Peking University once said Education is not for the past not for the present but particularly for the future
"教育好我們下一代，是一個良心政府應有之義和應盡之責。
Educating the next generation properly is a due responsibility of a government with conscience
人力資源，素來是影響香港經濟 發展的重要因素之一，因此，政府必須大力投資教育，以培育人才，促進香港社會和經濟持續發展。
Human resources have all along been an important element affecting the economic development of Hong Kong . Therefore it is obligatory upon the Government to heavily invest in education to nurture talents for the promotion of the sustainable development of the Hong Kong society and economy
政府今個財政年度，投放在教育的開支總額，達到786億元，較上年度增加5.2%，其中落實免費優質幼稚園教育政策、增加資助小學撥款，向多元卓越獎學金注資2億元，可見政府對於教育的投入和長遠承擔。
In this fiscal year education spending totals 78.6 billion an increase of 5.2 % from last year . The initiatives of implementing the free quality kindergarten education policy providing additional subvention for aided primary schools and injecting 200 million into the Multi - faceted Excellence Scholarship reflect the Governments dedication and long - term commitment to education
然而，教育除了硬件投資，當局亦應注意培養學生的心靈、性格和抗逆力。
Nevertheless apart from investing in education hardware the authorities should also pay attention to the need to nurture the minds and characters of students and to build up their resilience
我在此促請政府，必須善用盈餘，與廣大市民共享經濟發展的成果，投資未來。
I call on the Government to make best use of the fiscal surplus to allow the general public to share the fruits of economic development and to invest in the future
整體而言，預算案在紓解市民壓力方面，提出了多項針對基層及中產的實質措施，亦有兼顧長遠發展的策略。
On the whole the Budget has introduced concrete measures to alleviate the pressure of the grass - roots and middle - class people while also cater for the long - term development strategies
因此，我支持通過《2017年撥款條例草案》，讓市民安居樂業，也為新一代創造向上流動的機遇。
Therefore I support the passage of the Appropriation Bill 2017 so that members of the public can live and work in peace and contentment and opportunities for upward mobility can be created for the younger generation
我們可以看到，政府這次提出的財政預算案，能夠緊貼施政報告作出相應準備，在促進經濟、建設社會和紓解民生方面均有着墨。
As we have noticed the Budget delivered by the Government this time is able to dovetail with the Policy Address and has introduced measures on promoting the economy taking society forward and alleviating peoples difficulties
不過，市民最關心的是房屋問題，而施政報告對房屋問題其實着墨不多，都是說一些土地資源的資料。
However the Policy Address has not given much focused treatment to the housing problem which is the biggest public concern . It merely gives some information about land resources
但是，所有資料其實都是一些數字，能否將這些數字變成實質一間間房屋，讓市民入住，安居樂業？
After all the information is simply some sort of figures but the main point is how to turn these figures on paper into physical housing units where the people can live and lead a stable and happy life
這裏說的，除了政府的公共理財新哲學之外，還要有一個為市民安居樂業的規劃新哲學。
Apart from a new philosophy of fiscal management the Government should also adopt a new philosophy of enabling the people access to housing and a happy life
我個人對這些賠償安置方案的看法是，政府雖然在聽取民建聯過去一些意見後，已經對方案有所改善。但是，這項發展仍然流於一些傳統方式。
My personal view on these proposals is though the Government has already made improvements on the proposals after considering the previous recommendations by the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB the development project still largely sticks to some conventional practices
在未有一個妥善安置方案時，政府便要他們遷拆，這很難令人願意交出土地，以協助全港市民，盡快興建更多公屋讓輪候人士"上樓"。
If the Government goes ahead with demolition before working out a proper rehousing programme it will be difficult to persuade residents to vacate their lands for the purpose of constructing more public housing units to enable more waiting applicants to get a unit as soon as possible
說到底，因為發展新市鎮的是發展局，負責安置或公屋供應的是運輸及房屋局，兩個局沒有好好協調。
After all it is because new towns development comes under the purview of the Development Bureau while rehousing or provision of public housing falls into the purview of the Transport and Housing Bureau while the two bureaux have not maintained proper coordination
以北區為例，我們經常面對交通擠塞問題，這是源於人口越來越多，將來發展新市鎮一定有更多人口遷入。
The North District is an example . The frequent traffic congestion in the district is a result of a rising local population and the increasing trend will certainly continue upon the completion of new towns in the area
的確，在新市鎮裏面已經規劃了一定的道路配套，但這說的是區內配套，最終新市鎮的居民要到九龍、香港就業的時候，他們仍然要經吐露港公路，仍然要面對塞車問題。
It is true that the Government planned certain ancillary road networks during new towns development yet these are intra - district networks only . In the end commuters in new towns must travel to the urban areas via the Tolo Harbour Highway so they will still have to experience traffic congestion
所以，對於這些配套，如何興建更多公路接駁市區，甚至在目前東鐵已經飽和的情況下，興建一些輔助鐵路出市區，這是很重要。
So with regard to these infrastructure facilities it is important that more highways are constructed to connect to the urban areas . The Government may even have to consider building some ancillary railways to connect to the urban districts as the East Rail Line is already saturated
我希望政府在發展新市鎮，或者提供土地興建公屋的時候，先研究如何做好配套規劃。
I hope the Government can first draw up infrastructure plans before developing any new towns or providing land for public housing construction
政府說到配套，經常引用一套標準的規劃準則，考慮當區有多少人口，從而興建多少間醫院、多少個圖書館，設置多少設施。
The Government always follows a set of standards and guidelines in infrastructure planning under which it will consider the population within the districts concerned and will then decide the right numbers of hospitals and libraries as well as the supply of facilities accordingly
現在高局長在席，我用醫療服務為例，北區醫院除了要照顧北區30多萬居民外，跨過北區一河深圳河一河之隔的內地有很多香港居民，他們因為遷到內地居住，以及"單非"及"雙非"兒童，他們需要醫療服務的時候，很多時都會到香港最就近的醫院，即北區醫院。
As Secretary Dr KO is present I would like to take health care as an example . Besides taking care of 300 000 residents in the North District the North District Hospital also has to serve many Hong Kong citizens living in Shenzhen on the other side of the river that is the Shenzhen River . They are Hong Kong people and singly non - permanent resident children or doubly non - permanent resident children living in the Mainland who will visit the hospital within the shortest distance in Hong Kong when they require health care service that is the North District Hospital
所以，相信高局長都知道，北區醫院有很大的醫療壓力，因為它不單照顧30萬北區居民，還要照顧一些跨境在內地居住的香港市民。
Therefore Secretary Dr KO may know that North District Hospital is bearing a great burden in its provision of health care service as it is not only dealing with 300 000 residents in the North District but also Hong Kong people living across the boundary in the Mainland
雖然政府現在有一個時間表，但我希望局方能盡快增撥資源投入北區醫院，立即擴建北區醫院及增加服務。
Though the Government has a timetable in place I hope the Bureau can expeditiously deploy more resources for the North District Hospital in order to expand its premises and strengthen its service
當然，政府做好這些後，在日後興建房屋達標後，我想說的是，現在"上車"難，但"上車"後同樣面對問題，特別是近年市民經常看到圍標風氣非常嚴重。
Of course after fulfilling these tasks and meeting the target of housing construction in the future the Government will then have to note that the people are still confronted with challenges even if they can overcome all the difficulties to purchase a property . This is particularly true given the numerous cases of bid - rigging in recent years
我暫且不說圍標，因為在圍標的陰影下，很多屋苑要進行大維修或維修，當討論到費用的時候，大家都會人心惶惶，都有疑心，這形成業主和業主之間一些矛盾、業主和業主之間的互不信任。
Perhaps I will first put the problem of bid - rigging aside as simply the concern about bid - rigging is enough to cause worries and suspicions among residents when they have to discuss repair and maintenance costs of their estate and this will then lead to conflicts and mistrust among owners
所以在今次的預算案中，提出預留3億元讓業主以優惠費用，參加市區重建局推行的"招標妥"樓宇復修促進服務，我們是非常支 持。
So we fully support the proposal in the Budget this year to earmark 300 million to allow owners to participate in the Smart Tender Building Rehabilitation Facilitating Services Scheme run by the Urban Renewal Authority at a concessionary rate
這項服務能協助市民取得樓宇維修所需的技術支援，減低圍標的風險。
This initiative can help owners secure the necessary technical support relating to building repairs therefore reducing the risk of bid - rigging
局方估計，未來5年會有約4,500幢樓宇業主因而受惠。
The Bureau estimates that owners of about 4 500 buildings will benefit from this measure in the next five years
無可否認，"招標妥"對業主是一件好事，我們當然歡迎政府撥款為小業主提供資助。
It is undeniable that Smart Tender is helpful to owners and we certainly welcome the Governments funding for supporting owners
"招標妥"安排獨立人士進行市場估算、處理招標文件、以電子平台招標，這些均有效減低招標過程中出現操縱或干擾的風險。
Under the initiative independent consultants are arranged to conduct cost estimates handle tender documents and invite tenders via an electronic platform . These are all helpful in reducing risks of manipulation or disturbance during the tendering process
"招標妥"的理念雖好，但過去申請宗數不多，少於50宗。
Despite the good idea the Smart Tender has been far from popular registering only less than 50 applications in the past
為何有如此好的服務，仍只得不足50宗申請呢？
Why were there only less than 50 applications for such a good service?
政府就此有需要大力增加宣傳，積極向業主和法團介紹計劃。
The Government has to enhance publicity and actively introduce the programme to owners and owners corporations OCs
另外，"招標妥"服務基本上只能做到"成功揀標"，選好承建商後的工程監督及驗收工作，甚至質量問題等，均須業主繼續跟進。
Basically the Smart Tender Scheme only serves to help owners choosing the right bidder yet owners will still have to deal with other issues on their own such as project supervision inspection and acceptance or even issues relating to quality of works and so on
所以，我們希望當局擴闊"招標妥"的服務範圍，完全覆蓋整個維修工程，除招標外，更監督工程進度和驗收，令業主獲得更全面的保障。
Such arrangements do give an impression that the Government has not done enough . Therefore we hope the authorities can broaden the scope of the Smart Tender service so that in addition to tender invitation it will cover the entire building repair process including supervision inspection and acceptance so as to offer total protection to owners
長遠而言，市民其實普遍希望政府在樓宇維修上有更大承擔。
In the long run people generally hope that the Government can be more committed to building repairs
民建聯過去一直建議成立"大廈維修管理局"，我們希望政府能把"招標妥"服務恆常化，並透過管理局的架構以一條龍方式，協助業主處理大廈維修招標和驗收工作，為業主提供可靠的支援。
DAB has long been advocating the establishment of a Building Management and Maintenance Authority in the hope that the Government can regularize the Smart Tender programme and assist owners by offering one stop support in terms of tendering inspection and acceptance of works relating to building repairs with a view to providing reliable assistance to owners under the structure of the Authority
民政事務局早前就《建築物管理條例》提出新修訂建議，當中接納不少民建聯過去提出的訴求，包括提高大廈維修工程的門檻，增加授權書運用的透明度、增加刑事制裁的適用範圍及罰則。
Earlier the Home Affairs Bureau introduced new amendments to the Building Management Ordinance incorporating many recommendations put forward by DAB previously including raising the threshold for building repair projects increasing the transparency for proxy votes and expanding the scope and strengthening penalty of criminal sanction
我相信這些措施能加強保障小業主，為大廈管理帶來新氣象。
I believe these measures can enhance the protection for owners and bring changes to building management
但是，另一方面，我們認為這些新建議仍不足。
But on the other hand we believe these new proposals are still not adequate
首先，局方建議授權書須由受託人加簽，而受託人亦須作出聲明，以表示其持有的授權書是誠實地取得，並會準確履行業主的投票指示。
First the Bureau proposes that proxy forms be signed by trustees who will also have to declare that the forms are obtained sincerely and that owners voting instructions will be exercised accurately
我們擔心單單透過聲明難以確保受託人會確實履行業主的投票指示，局方也要推出確切的措施或監察機制，確保受託人確切和嚴格執行業主的指示。
We fear that trustees will not easily be bound by a mere declaration so the Bureau still needs to implement specific measures or a supervision system to ensure that trustees will accurately and strictly carry out owners voting instructions
此外，有業主向我們反映，現時有一些不法分子透過利益或款待收集業主的授權書，以此操縱法團決議，為他們提供利益。
Certain owners have told us of the unlawful practices to collect proxies from owners by means of offering benefits or hospitality so that these lawless people can manipulate the voting results to their benefit
報章過去其實也曾多次報道相關事件，但無論是現時的《防止賄賂條例》或大 廈管理相關法例，均未能涵蓋這類行為，而政府一直也未有行動正視這類問題。
In fact the media frequently reported similar incidents before yet these practices are not within the scope of the existing Prevention of Bribery Ordinance or other legislation related to building management and the Government has taken no action to seriously deal with these problems
所以，我們希望局方能研究修訂法例，又或在授權書內列明，禁止代理人透過利益或款待收集授權書，避免不法分子借此操縱法團運作。
Therefore we hope the Bureau can examine the feasibility of amending the legislation or stating in the proxy forms that such forms cannot be collected by providing benefits or hospitality thereby preventing those lawless people from manipulating OCs operation
現時民政事務總署的大廈聯絡主任除協助大廈成立法團及出席法團會議外，更要兼顧很多其他地區發展工作，未能專注協助大廈管理。
At the moment Liaison Officers of the Home Affairs Department are responsible for helping buildings to set up OCs and attend OCs meetings as well as handling many other community development tasks rendering them unable to concentrate on building management
再者，現時的大廈聯絡主任並非專業職系，每隔數年便會被安排調職往其他部門或職位，這都會影響其在工作上的積極性。
Moreover Liaison Officers are not professional grade officers and they are therefore redeployed to other departments or posts every few years . All these will affect their job motivation
有法團更指部分聯絡主任出席會議時，基本上可能光坐着，甚至迴避涉及大廈管理的問題，表現並不理想。
Some members of OCs have even said that certain Liaison Officers performance is unsatisfactory as they basically attend the meetings without any active participation and even avoid involving themselves in any issues concerning building management
所以我們希望局方和政府能增加資源，提升大廈聯絡主任的服務質素，以"專職專責"模式讓大廈聯絡主任能專注大廈管理相關的工作。
So we hope the Bureau and the Government can allocate more resources to improve Liaison Officers service quality and grant them the status as professional grade staff enabling them to focus on tasks relevant to building management
再者，希望當局能向他們提供更多培訓，讓他們做好協助大廈維修管理的工作。
I also hope the authorities can enhance the training given to them so that they are capable to offer effective assistance on building repair and management
總括而言，工程圍標問題嚴重影響招標過程的公平公正，令維修工程的中標價遠高於市場合理水平。
In a nutshell the bid - rigging problem seriously jeopardizes the fairness and impartiality of tendering and as a result of this tender prices of successful bidders for repair works are far higher than reasonable market prices
打擊圍標絕對不能怠慢，我希望政府除了讓市民"上樓"外，也能為市民"上樓"後安居樂業，盡一分努力。
There is no room for compromise in fighting against bid - rigging and I hope the Government can devote effort to improve the lives of those people with a property apart from helping those without to purchase one
代理主席，香港在2017年3月創出一個新高，我們的儲備有9,360億元，非常厲害，正所謂"庫房水浸"。
Deputy President Hong Kong created a new record in March 2017 . We have a record high of 936 billion in reserve an impressive amount that floods the Treasury
但是，我們有過百萬基層市民卻仍然過着非常貧窮的生活，我們有無數"劏房戶"，無數在議事廳未必能直接接觸得到的基層市民。
However we have over a million grass - roots people still living in poverty . We have countless subdivided unit occupants . We still have countless poor people whose stories are unheard of in this Chamber
代理主席，在過去數個月，我曾到不同地區探訪不同的"劏房戶"和板間房戶，印象很深刻的一幕是探訪荃灣的"劏房"兒童。
Deputy President in the past few months I visited the people living in subdivided units and partitioned units in different districts . I still find the children living in subdivided units in Tsuen Wan unforgettable
那群小朋友住在"劏房"，已經習慣每天在狹窄的家中讀書和溫習；樓下是餐廳，炒菜時間家裏會很翳焗，但他們習以為常，平時就在那裏溫習。
They are accustomed to reading and studying in their tiny flats . There is a restaurant on the ground floor of their building which makes their flat suffocating during cooking time . They adapt to their situation well and study there as usual
