11月7日，一些建制派政治團體舉行靜默遊行，抗議他們的區議會選舉候選人落區時經常受到滋擾和衝擊，大量宣傳品被毀壞，辦公室被故意破壞和縱火，甚至有建制派候選人在擺設街站時遇襲受傷，建制派競選團隊和支持者面對前所未有的人身安全威嚇，街頭選舉活動幾乎完全停頓。
On 7 November some political groups of the pro - establishment camp conducted a silent march to protest against frequent harassment and disturbance to their DC Election candidates when they conducted community visits . While many of their publicity materials were destroyed their offices were deliberately vandalized and set on fire and some candidates of the pro - establishment camp were even attacked and injured at street booths . Electioneering teams and supporters of the pro - establishment camp were faced with unprecedented threats to their personal safety and electioneering activities on the street have almost come to a complete halt
因此，建制派政治團體及其區議會候選人，可謂深受暴力行徑的威嚇和損害。
It can thus be said that political groups of the pro - establishment camp and their DC Election candidates are the victims of serious violent intimidation
主席，政制及內地事務局局長聶德權日前表明，區議會能否如期舉行取決於三大條件：第一，必須立即停止暴力及威嚇；第二，隧道幹線和道路必須不被堵塞；第三，停止破壞交通設施，避免癱瘓交通。
President Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Patrick NIP stated the other day that three conditions would have to be met for the DC Election to be held as scheduled Firstly violence and all kinds of duress should stop immediately; secondly blocking of tunnels highways and roads should cease; thirdly destruction to transport facilities should halt altogether to prevent paralysing the traffic
由此看來，是否押後選舉的主導權並不在特區政府手上，而是取決於街頭的暴力示威者。
It can thus be seen that when it comes to the postponement or otherwise of the DC Election the SAR Government is actually not in the driving seat and things are controlled in the hands of violent protesters on the street
上星期，有在香港中文大學示威的暴徒要求政府當局承諾不取消區議會選舉，作為重開吐露港公路的條件，這實在十分諷刺，亦是倒果為因。
Last week the rioters protesting in The Chinese University of Hong Kong made a request to the Government for a promise of not cancelling the DC Election and this was cited as a condition for the reopening of Tolo Highway . This was simply ironical and a reversal of cause and effect too
正如我近日在電台節目中指出，如社會正常運作，道路不阻塞，街頭沒有暴力事件，選舉自然可以進行，亦應該進行。
As I have pointed out in a radio programme recently if the normal operation of the community can be maintained roads are not blocked and there was no violence on the street the election can certainly be held and shall also be held
同樣，十分諷刺的是，反對派一方面非常義正詞嚴地促請政府確保如期舉行區議會選舉，甚至明言或暗示政府當局和建制派企圖推延區議會選舉，但另一方面，為了撈取政治本錢，對於實際有可能窒礙區議會選舉如期安全舉行的暴力示威違法行為，卻至今仍然堅持不譴責、不割席，反而將各種事件的責任完全推諉於政府和警方。
It is equally ironical that those from the opposition camp have on the one hand very righteously urged the Government to ensure that the DC Election will be held as scheduled and even have suggested expressly or by implication that the Government and the pro - establishment camp are trying to delay the DC Election but on the other hand in order to strive for political capital they have so far refused to condemn of and sever ties with violent protests and illegal acts which may in fact obstruct the safe conduct of the DC Election as scheduled and have instead laid all the blame on the Government and the Police
這些反對派根本擔當了煽暴的角色，顛倒是非，黑白不分，亦直接和間接地慫恿年輕人和學生參與違法活動，公然破壞法治，他們一旦因違法犯罪而被捕，將會前途盡毀。
These people from the opposition camp have simply incited violence reversed right and wrong and confused black and white . They have also directly and indirectly instigated young people and students to participate in illegal activities that will blatantly undermine the rule of law and these youngsters will have their future completely ruined once they are arrested for their illegal acts and crimes
這些煽暴者的醜惡居心，令人髮指。
The evil intentions of these instigators are indeed outrageous
我在出席上述電台節目時強調，相信若社會回復平靜，政府並無理由取消區議會選舉。
When attending the radio programme mentioned above I have emphasized that if the community returned to peace the Government would have no reason to cancel the DC Election
我呼籲示威者尊重選民權利，不要再堵路和使用暴力，讓選民可在安全情況下投下神聖一票。
I called on demonstrators to respect the rights of voters stop blocking roads and using violence so that voters would be able to cast a sacred vote under safe circumstances
主席，香港目前面對的這場社會動亂，牽涉到政治、經濟、社會等各個層面，甚至涉及本港一些積累多時的深層次矛盾。
President the present social turmoil faced by Hong Kong involves many problems in political economic and social aspects and even some deep - rooted contradictions which have been in existence in Hong Kong for many years
當務之急，是社會各界齊心一致向暴力說不，與暴徒割席，支持特區政府加大力度止暴制亂，運用一切可行法律手段，維護香港法治。
The most pressing task now is for all sectors of the community to act in unison and say no to violence sever ties with rioters support the SAR Government to step up its efforts in stopping violence and curbing disorder and employ every feasible legal means to safeguard the rule of law in Hong Kong
社會各界必須盡快放下爭議，因為香港社會若繼續陷入無日無之的政治衝突，全港市民也被迫成為輸家。
There is a need for people from all sectors of the community to put aside their disputes as soon as possible because if the Hong Kong community continues to be stuck in unending political conflicts all of us in Hong Kong will be forced to become losers
主席，假如持續5個月的社會動盪和街頭暴力在未來數天得以剎車，區議會選舉能夠不受干擾地如期順利舉行，這或許有助於提供一個有利的契機，讓社會各界保持冷靜和理性，恢復香港作為法治社會的本來面目，維護現有憲制的有效運作，使不同政見人士能互相尊重和互相包容，以合法、合情、合理的方式處理政治訴求，並運用手中一票，以和平的方式表達政治意願，選出其政治代表，為市民服務。
President if these five months of social unrest and street violence can end in the next few days making it possible to hold the DC Election smoothly as scheduled without any interference it may provide a favourable opportunity for people from all sectors of the community to remain calm and rational and to let Hong Kong restore its original state as a society upholding the rule of law . This will help to maintain the effective operation of the existing constitutional system thus promoting mutual respect and tolerance among people holding different political views and enabling them to address political aspirations in a lawful fair and reasonable manner . They may also exercise the votes in their hands to express their political aspirations peacefully thereby electing their political representatives to serve the people
主席，香港實在有不少經濟、民生問題亟待解決，政府工作不應被迫停擺，相關政策措施和經濟民生項目都不能停下來。
President there are indeed many pressing economic and livelihood issues in Hong Kong to be resolved the work of the Government should not be forced to come to a standstill and it should keep implementing the related policy measures as well as economic and livelihood programmes
因此，社會各界應珍惜區議會這個非常重要的平台，並維護香港優良的選舉文化，確保選舉公平、公正地舉行，並且讓413萬多名選民可在安全、自由的環境下投票，進而讓社會重新出發，發展經濟，改善民生，謀求本港的長遠持續發展。
Hence people from all sectors of the community should cherish the important platform provided by DC safeguard the well - established election culture in Hong Kong ensure the holding of fair and just elections and enable over 4.13 million voters to cast their votes in a safe and free environment . This will in turn facilitate our society to make a new start strive for economic development improve peoples livelihood and work for the long - term sustainable development of Hong Kong
主席，香港過往以治安良好見稱，遵紀守法是香港保持良好聲譽的原因，亦是我們的核心價值之一。
President Hong Kong has been known for its excellent law and order obeying laws and regulations is a reason why Hong Kong has managed to maintain a good reputation and this is also one of our core values
然而，5個月的動亂不僅打擊香港的經濟和民生，更摧毀了香港的核心價值，破壞了我們的法治基礎。
However the turmoil over the past five months has not only dealt a blow to our economy and peoples livelihood but also destroyed the core values of Hong Kong and shaken the foundation of our rule of law
5個月以來，街頭暴力持續升級，除了投擲汽油彈、破壞港鐵等設施的行為成為常態外，破壞建制派議員辦事處、騷擾建制派候選人的街站、破壞他們的宣傳品，亦成為另一常態。
In the last five months street violence kept escalating hurling petrol bombs and vandalizing MTR facilities have become norm vandalizing members offices of the pro - establishment camp harassing the street booths set up by candidates from the pro - establishment camp and destroying their publicity materials are also common
我在此很痛心地控訴，經民聯的地區辦事處亦無一幸免，受到不同程度的損壞，最嚴重的是被人縱火，付諸一炬。
I say with deep sorrow that the district offices of the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong have also suffered the same fate and experienced different degrees of damage and in the most serious case the office concerned was completely destroyed in a fire
我們的地區同事須在被焚毀的辦事處前面擺放桌子，繼續會見街坊。
Our district staff have to set up tables in front of the burnt site to continue with their work of meeting residents in the community
但是，即使參選人是無畏無懼，我們也不得不為義工和街坊擔心。
Yet although our candidates are serving without fear we cannot help but worry about our volunteers and residents in the community
任何選舉均必須和平、平靜和公平地進行，市民才可無懼地投票。
All elections must be held in a peaceful quiet and fair manner so as to ensure that all citizens will be able to cast their votes without fear
我要問政府，在這樣惡劣的情況下，如何保證選舉可公平、公正 和安全地舉行？
I would like to ask the Government How can it ensure that the DC Election can be held in a fair just and safe manner under such extremely unfavourable circumstances?
如何能讓選民在不受阻礙、不受威嚇的情況下投票？
How can it enable voters to cast their votes without being obstructed and threatened?
根據相關法例，行政長官、選舉管理委員會或票站主任可因為3類事故押後選舉、投票或點票，包括騷亂、公開暴力或危害公眾安全的事故。
Under the relevant statutory provisions an election or voting or vote - counting may be postponed if it appears to the Chief Executive the Electoral Affairs Commission EAC or the Presiding Officer that the election or the voting poll or vote - counting is likely to be affected by three types of occurrence and one of which is a riot open violence or any danger to public safety
同時，在選舉應變計劃下成立的危機管理委員會會進行評估，以選舉的持平公正及選民和工作人員的安全為重要考慮因素，再向選管會提供意見。
In the meantime the Crisis Management Committee set up under the contingency plan formulated for the election will conduct an evaluation in this respect and advise EAC accordingly with the integrity and fairness of the election as well as the safety of electors and electoral staff as the paramount considerations
我們當然非常不願見出現這些事故，特區政府絕對有責任為11月24日投票當日，各區可能出現的一些突發和混亂情況制訂應變方案，及時消除對選舉的不利影響。
It is of course utterly not our wish to see such occurrences and it is absolutely the responsibility of the SAR Government to formulate a contingency plan for some possible unexpected and chaotic situations in various districts on the polling day of 24 November as well as timely eliminate any adverse impact on the election
主席，有工程師朋友說，工程師的天職是平衡發展和保育，建設社會。
President a friend of mine in the engineering sector once said that the bounden duty of engineers was to strike a balance between development and conservation in building up our society
眼見香港多年建立的社會設施不停被暴徒破壞，而且損毀情況越來越嚴重，實在欲哭無淚。
Witnessing that many social facilities established in Hong Kong over the past many years are vandalized by rioters and the degree of damage is getting more and more serious I really feel like crying
這種情況正是一首曾經非常流行的粵語歌曲"難為正邪定分界"的現實版。
The situation is actually the real life version of what is depicted in a Cantonese song titled 難為正邪定分界 which was once very popular
這首歌是1982年播出的電視劇集"飛越十八層"的主題曲，是凡人與魔鬼的對唱。
It was the theme song of a television drama series You Only Live Twice which was broadcasted in 1982 and a duet by a mortal and a devil
劇集"飛越十八層"的內容是描述一位意外橫死的青年死後誤闖地獄，與魔鬼交易，從虛構的情節中可反映現代社會的百態。
In the storyline of the drama series You Only Live Twice a young man died suddenly in an accident and having gone to hell unexpectedly he made a deal with a devil and the fictitious plots reflected the complexities of modern society
這首歌曲的最特別之處是以流行曲唱法和美聲唱法對唱，在香港流行樂界屬罕有之作。
The most special feature of this song is that it is a duet using both pop singing techniques and bel canto style of singing and this is a very rare example in the pop music sector of Hong Kong
當中由魔鬼唱出的幾句歌詞是："控制命運，任我巧安排，看似夢幻，凡人難盡瞭解，人間的好景給我一朝破壞，榮辱愛恨任分派。
The part sung by the devil has several lines that read 控制命運，任我巧安排，看似夢幻，凡人難盡瞭解，人間的好景給我一朝破壞，榮辱愛恨任分派
"即使不是歌迷都應該記得，還有"努力興建，盡情破壞，彼此也在捱"這幾句。
Even those who are not music fans will remember there are also these lines which go 努力興建，盡情破壞，彼此也在捱
魔鬼口中的"人間的好景給我一朝破壞"，在現實版本中就是5個月來極端分子的暴力行徑不斷升級，日趨激烈凶殘，包括以各種武器，磚頭、汽油彈、鐵鎚、利刃、弓箭等攻擊警察和不同政見人士，甚至一般途人。
In my opinion the escalating violence of the extremists over the past five months who have become increasingly cruel and brutal including using various weapons bricks petrol bombs hammers sharp knives bows and arrows to attack police officers people holding different political views and even passers - by is exactly the real life version of that line sung by the devil that reads destroying all the goodies in just one go
於是，很多公私營設施都遭到嚴重破壞，包括港鐵站、商場、店鋪、交通燈、行車隧道等。
As a result many public and private facilities have been severely damaged including MTR stations shopping malls shops traffic lights road tunnels etc
暴亂分子到處縱火，濫用私刑，近日更直接危害汽車、列車和其他公共交通工具，甚至火燒活人、以磚頭殺人。
Rioters set fire wantonly executed vigilante justice indiscriminately and even directly endangered the safety of vehicles trains and other means of public transport recently . Worse still they even set fire on a living person and killed another one by hurling bricks
香港升斗市民的最大民憤，是連上班、上學的基本權利和正常生活都備受威脅，以致生命財產頓失保障，香港經濟民生遭到重創，生計亦受到嚴重影響。
The greatest indignation of the ordinary public was aroused by the threats to their basic rights and normal life of going to work and to school resulting in a loss of the protection for their lives and properties dealing a heavy blow to Hong Kongs economy and peoples livelihood
暴力行為更走進大學，校園成為所謂的兵工廠，令人慨歎。
Violence has also found its way in universities with university campuses turned into the so - called weapon factories which is really deplorable
歌名雖為"難為正邪定分界"，但內容對於正邪的定性其實相當清晰，而且由兩個歌手分別以凡人和魔鬼的角色對唱，對比更加強烈。
Although the title of the song is 難為正邪定分界 delineation between justice and evil is rather clear and with two singers playing respectively the role of a mortal and a devil in the duet the contrast has become even stronger . The mortal who builds diligently represents justice while the devil who destroys recklessly is a symbol of evil
努力興建的凡人是正，盡情破壞的魔鬼是邪，有朋友說11月24日的區議會選舉，正是正與邪的對決，建設者與破壞者的對決。
Some friends of mine suggested that the DC Election to be held on 24 November is a battle between justice and evil and a duel between those who build and those who destroy
我呼籲香 港各界人士，無論政見如何分歧，均應讓這場選舉公平、公正、安全地進行。
I call on people from all sectors in Hong Kong to make concerted efforts to enable the election to be held in a fair just and safe manner no matter how different their political views are
所有真心愛護香港的人，均必須在11月24日運用手中一票，以最和平的方式向暴力說不，與暴徒和煽暴者割席，凝聚建設力量，讓社會重返正軌。
All of us who genuinely care about Hong Kong should exercise the votes in our hands on 24 November to say no to violence in a most peaceful manner sever ties with rioters and instigators of violence bring together constructive efforts and put our society back on the right track
主席，首先，我想感謝容海恩議員提出這項休會待續議案，讓議會有時間充分辯論，令市民可以越辯越明，知道這次區議會選舉的情況。
President first of all I would like to thank Ms YUNG Hoi - yan for moving this adjournment motion . It has allowed sufficient time for this Council to conduct a comprehensive debate so that members of the public can have a clearer picture and know what is going on with the coming District Council DC Election
主席，距離這次區議會的投票日只餘3天，有市民想透過我在今天這個平台告訴政府當局，特別是局長現時也在席，他們很希望有兩句說話可以在11月24日舉行的區議會選舉夢想成真。
President we are only three days away from the polling date of the DC Election . Some members of the public want me to via this platform today tell the Administration especially the Secretary who is now present at the meeting their two ardent wishes for the DC Election to be held on 24 November
其實，市民的要求很簡單，他們希望能夠參與這次4年一度的區議會選舉，因為這項選舉多年來都是大家引以為傲，可以在地方行政工作上凸顯市民有選擇的選舉。
In fact the demand of the people is very simple . They wish to take part in the coming DC Election which is held once every four years as this is not only an election we have taken pride in for many years but also highlights the peoples right to choose in district administration work
然而，市民經常問我，希望我可以問政府如何創造一個安全、公平及公正的環境，讓市民達成夢想？
However members of the public often urge me to ask the Government how it would create a safe fair and just environment for them to realize their wish
主席，我想重申，我和民主建港協進聯盟的立場十分清晰，我們並沒有要求政府就着這次選舉作出延期，這說法導致坊間流言四起，指政府有可能取消選舉。
President I would like to reiterate that the position of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB and I is very clear . We have not requested the Government to postpone the coming Election which has nonetheless given rise to rumours in the community that the Government might call off the Election
我經常說，選舉一直是香港賴以成功的基礎，亦是地方行政必需的工作。
As I often said election has always been the cornerstone of Hong Kongs success and a prerequisite for district administration work
參選的候選人皆各有抱負、各有政綱，也有不同的看法，不管他們喜歡建設與否，市民自會懂得選擇。
All candidates standing for an election have their own aspirations election platforms and views and whether or not they like construction members of the public should know how to choose
局長，說來容易，市民憂慮的是政府是否真的做得到，他們感到非常擔心。
Members of the public are worried if the Government can really create the conditions and circumstances required
正如我們作為市民的代議士，街坊很多時候也會向我們提出查詢，要求我們跟進一些問題，亦會提出改善建議，並要求我們履行競選承諾。
Since we are the representatives of the people kaifongs often make enquiries with us and request us to follow up some issues . They may also put forward improvement proposals and urge us to honour our election pledges
凡此種種都說明，市民信賴政府及信賴他們選出來的代議士，我希望局長清楚這一點。
All these show that people have trust in the Government and the representatives elected by them . I would like to make this clear to the Secretary
主席，對於這次選舉，我深有體會，亦感受到這是一場不一樣的選舉。
President I do have a strong feeling about the coming election and realize that this election is different from those held previously
主席，選舉為市民提供一個平台，讓他們揀選心目中的候選人，無論他們屬意建制、泛民或獨立人士，他們也是有選擇的，這正是市民的期盼。
President elections provide a platform for members of the public to choose the candidates they prefer regardless of whether they belong to the pro - establishment camp pan - democratic camp or are independent candidates . People have a choice which is precisely their aspiration
因此，我認為有必要讓這次選舉在11月24日如期舉行。
Therefore I consider it necessary to conduct the DC Election on 24 November as scheduled
很多朋友問我，"'柯仔'，區議會選舉在即，但大家是否知道區議會的功能及區議員的工作是甚麼？
Many friends asked me Wilson the DC Election is around the corner but does everyone know the functions of DCs and the work of DC members?
主席，我想特別在此告訴我所屬選區的市民，區議會是地區層次的地方議會和諮詢組織。
President I would like to tell the people of my constituency in particular that DCs are local organizations and advisory bodies at the district level
1982年，隨着地方行政的興起，當時的港英政府希望可以讓更多人參與地區行政事務。
In 1982 with the rise of district administration the British Hong Kong Government back then wished to promote peoples participation in district administration affairs
我記得當年我也有份參與推動"太陽計劃"，鼓勵市民登記做選民。
I remember that I had also taken part in the promotion of the Solar Project which encourages members of the public to register as voters
事實上，區議會的功能就是讓市民在地區選出代表他們的代議士，進入議會為他們發聲。
In fact one of the functions of DCs is to enable the public to elect their representatives at the district level so as to make their voices heard in the legislature
市民關心的議題包括交通、環境衞生以至任何建設，例如是否需要增加一些設施如圖書館和暖水泳池或是增加巴士線，這些都屬於區議會的功能。
Issues of public concern range from transport environmental hygiene to any kind of construction for example the need for providing facilities such as libraries and heated swimming pools or introducing additional bus routes . All these are functions of DCs
事實上，在歷屆區議會選舉中，市民都很重視候選人有否把地區議題納入他們的政綱，從而直接改善社區。
As a matter of fact in the previous DC elections people attached great importance to whether the election platform of a candidate had included district issues as this would improve the community directly
不過，我認為區議員的功能更重要，因為他們作為居民代表，有需要就很多事情收集民意，透過諮詢了解市民的看法，然後在區議會內據理力爭，或是在不同場合向政府表達。
And yet in my opinion the functions of DC members are far more important because as representatives of the residents they are bound to collect public views on a myriad of issues gauge public opinion through consultation and then fight for them in DCs or relay their views to the Government on various occasions
因此，區議會及經由投票選出的區議員必須"貼地"，將民情或意見向政府反映，這亦是一直以來區議會的成功之處。
Therefore DCs and directly - elected DC members must be down - to - earth and relay public sentiment or views to the Government which has always been the success of DCs
因此，我認為區議會的功能正是要反映市民的期盼。
Thus in my opinion one of the functions of DCs is to reflect peoples aspirations
大家都知道，地區議會包括區議會、以往的市政局及區域市政局，以至立法會。
As we all know district organizations include DCs the former Urban Council and the Regional Council as well as the Legislative Council
試想想，如果區議會選舉未能如期舉行，或是如坊間所說要押後一星期甚至取消，我覺得是市民的損失，因為市民失去了有效的渠道表達他們的關注和意見，這是非常重要的。
Just imagine if the DC Election cannot be held as scheduled or has to be postponed for a week or even called off as people have suggested I would consider it a loss to the public because they may lose an effective channel to express their concerns and views which is very important
然而，我認為更重要的是，如何確保選舉能夠在公平、公正和安全的環境下進行。
And yet what I consider more important is how to ensure that the Election can be conducted under a fair just and safe environment
我們面對高叫政治口號及粗言穢語的情況也不少，而電話滋擾甚至在網上被抹黑和"起底"亦已習以為常。
Also there are numerous instances of people chanting political slogans and shouting foul language at us . Telephone nuisances online mudslinging and even doxxing have also become a norm
這些是否我們經常要求政府做到的公平、公正、公開選舉呢？
Will such acts facilitate the holding of a fair just and open election that we have been urging the Government?
我們以往參選不會太擔心安全問題，因為候選人出來參選，是為了實踐抱負及爭取市民的支持，所以早已預料會遇到持不同意見的人。
In the past we did not have to worry too much about safety when we run for election because we stood for election to achieve our vision and solicit support from the public and we have expected to meet people with different views
但是，這次區議會選舉的候選人，無論屬於甚麼板塊，都在某程度上遇到不同的挑戰，小則被人以粗言穢語辱罵、被人用手機拍攝或滋擾；大則受到人身威脅。
However candidates of this Election no matter which grouping they belong to have faced challenges of various degrees ranging from minor clashes such as being hurled abuse at with foul language filmed with mobile phones or harassed to more serious ones such as personal threats
因此，我很希望政府可以想想，如何確保這場選舉可以做到我經常強調的公平、公正、公開，以至安全。
I therefore eagerly hope that the Government will consider how to ensure that this Election can be conducted in a fair just open and safe manner just as I have repeatedly stressed
面對這些挑戰，我也是過來人。
I have faced these challenges and I am no stranger to them
不過，我深信選舉一定要在安全的環境下進行，以確保市民可以放心投票，而我們的義工也可以放心助選。
However I strongly believe that the election must be conducted under a safe environment to ensure that people can feel at ease to vote whereas our volunteers can also feel at ease to help in electioneering
我認為暴力絕不能縱容，亦絕不能鼓吹，因為我們看到暴力已在過往一段時間不斷升級。
I think that violence should not be tolerated or advocated because as we can see it has been escalating over the past period of time
暴力絕對不能縱容，暴力只會令我們走向極端，令社會更加兩極化和撕裂。
We should absolutely not connive at violence as it will only drive us to the extremes and make society more polarized and torn apart
"他的意見我已收到。
I acknowledged his view
此外，燒車及某些持不同政見的人的行為，確實令市民感到擔心。
On the other hand setting vehicles and people with divergent views on fire have also become a cause for concern
因此，我希望"向暴力說不"能夠成為我們這次選舉的主軸。
Therefore I hope that the coming election will say no to violence
我相信建設社區殊不容易，面對香港現時的局面，很多上了年紀的前輩或街坊朋友都歎破壞容易、建設難。
I believe it is in no way easy to build a community . Seeing the present situation of Hong Kong many people or kaifongs who are more senior in age lamented that destruction is much easier than construction
如何能夠令到社區及香港盡快回復正軌，我相信是普羅市民的主流意見。
I believe the mainstream view of the general public is to expeditiously bring the community and Hong Kong back on track
政府固然要多做事，但我希望大家也可以在不同方向提醒身邊的朋友要"停一停、想一想"。
While more should be done by the Government I hope that we can also remind people around us to stop and think twice
主席，我還想指出，區議會是為民生做實事的地方。
President I also wish to point out that DCs are places where practical work relating to peoples livelihood is done
我相信在座很多議員及有份參選的候選人都知道，區議員會捲起衣袖為市民服務，替市民排難解紛，而這亦是普羅市民的期望。
I believe many Members present at the meeting and candidates standing for the Election are well aware that DC members would roll up their sleeves to serve the local residents and address their problems which is indeed the expectation of the general public
因此，我希望政府能夠確保11月24日，即3日後的區議會選舉能夠順利成功地舉行。
It is thus my wish for the Government to ensure that the DC Election to be held three days later on 24 November will be conducted smoothly and successfully
我亦希望香港人能夠透過這次選舉，選出他們的代議士，為市民服務。
I also hope that Hong Kong people will be able to elect representatives to serve them in this Election
