更甚的是，有身為區議會主席之輩，其身不正，帶頭犯法"起底"來傷害警員。
Worse still some DC Chairmen have taken the lead in breaking the law and hurting police officers by doxxing them
近日，我們更看到有些區議員在散播"港獨"之餘真正"播毒"是毒 品的"毒"。
Some DC members have recently gone so far as not only to spread the poisonous idea of Hong Kong independence but also to spread genuine poison―I mean drugs―by claiming openly that cannabis is not a drug
他們公然聲稱大麻不是毒品，實在是荼毒我們的社會、荼毒我們的下一代。
They are really poisoning our society and our next generation
大家都知道，"攬炒派"的某些人可能想利用"發誓當食生菜"的伎倆，在宣誓時完全依照規矩，"扮乖乖"依循宣誓要求，企圖蒙混過關。
As we all know some people from the mutual destruction camp may play dirty by making easy promises pretending to be well - behaved at the time of oath - taking and following all the rules and oath - taking requirements to muddle through
此外，我亦曾在4月致函法案委員會主席，請他向當局轉達這項關注，並要求明確的回覆。
I also wrote to the Chairman of the Bills Committee in April asking him to relay this concern to the authorities and urge for a clear reply
我相信這是公眾或很多同事今天比較憂慮的一點，他們認為監誓人必須有權把關，不可讓"扮乖乖"宣誓的人蒙混過關。
I believe this issue has caused considerable concern among the public or Members today as they hold that oath administrators should have the gate - keeping power to stop the well - behaved oath takers from muddling through
這一點非常重要。
This is very important
我認為這些懲處或舉措相當重要，因為我們希望條例出台後能產生一定的阻嚇性，這是相當重要的觀點。
I consider such penalties or actions important as the Bill upon enactment is supposed to give deterrent effect . This point is crucial
代理主席，我希望《條例草案》通過後能夠真正做到正本清源，讓區議會能夠盡其應有責任，而不是好像現在般不務正業，被用作醜化國家或做"政治show"的平台，這是市民所唾棄的。
Deputy President I hope that the passage of the Bill can truly resolve problems at root so that DCs can well perform its duties and will no longer be used as a platform for smearing the country or staging political shows without doing proper business . This is what the people hate
條文並不包括區議員，我認為這是不足的地方，須予完善。
District Council DC members are not included in this provision . In my view this is not adequate and has to be addressed
2019年爆發"黑暴"事件，反對派及"攬炒派"在"攬炒"前早已部署如何奪權，包括在區議會奪權，以期在政制層面取得控制權。
Since the outbreak of the black - clad violence incidents in 2019 the opposition camp and the mutual destruction camp had plotted to seize power long before they initiated mutual destruction including seizing power at DCs to take control at the political and constitutional levels
反對派在2019年奪得區議會的控制權後，真的言出必行，不務正業，既舉行初選，又在會議上針對政府，阻撓每年批給民間舉辦活動的撥款。
After the opposition camp took control at DCs in 2019 they really kept their word and neglected their main duties . They have not only held primaries but also picked on the Government at meetings and impeded funding for organizing community activities every year
從這些角度來看，區議員是徹頭徹尾的公職人員。
Judging from these DC members are public officers through and through
2020年6月30日通過實施的《香港國安法》的第三十五條訂明，任何人經法院判決犯危害國家安全罪行，即喪失區議會選舉候選人的資格。
Article 35 of the National Security Law enacted for implementation on 30 June 2020 provides that a person who is convicted of an offence endangering national security by a court shall be disqualified from standing as a candidate in DC elections
因此，規定區議員須在就職時宣誓，是較為合理和全面的做法。
Therefore it is more reasonable and comprehensive to require DC members to take an oath when assuming office
本會在上星期曾討論要求特區政府加強地區管治能力，而區議會在當中扮演重要的角色。
Last week there was a discussion in this Council on requesting the SAR Government to strengthen district administration in which DCs play an important role
區議員不但要參與地區管理，同時也要對社會和市民負責。
Not only do DC members take part in district management they are also held accountable to the community and members of the public
較早前，有地區團體進行民意調查，當面詢問一些現任區議員會否宣誓，當中很多人"側側膊"離開，迴避問題。
In an opinion survey conducted by a local organization earlier some incumbent DC members were asked face to face whether they would take the oath . Many of them slipped away to avoid answering the question
此外，有些區議員任期未滿便已"走佬"，有些甚至因涉嫌違反《香港國安法》而被囚禁。
Moreover some DC members have fled before their terms of office expire whereas some have been detained for alleged violation of the National Security Law
在涉嫌違反《香港國安法》被捕的53名"攬炒派"中，超過一半是區議員。
Among the 53 members of the mutual destruction camp who have been arrested for alleged violation of the National Security Law more than half are DC members
現時已有超過20名反對派區議員先後以不同的理由辭職。
At present over 20 DC members from the opposition camp have resigned one after another on various grounds
由此可見，他們不想宣誓效忠特區政府；不用我多說，他們是不會接受效忠《基本法》和特區政府的。
From this we can see that they do not want to swear allegiance to the SAR Government . Needless to say they will not accept to pledge allegiance to the Basic Law and the SAR Government
只有將區議員納入宣誓機制和規定，才能測試到哪些人是真心為香港，是真誠真意對待香港市民。
Only by making DC members subject to the oath - taking mechanism and requirements can we tell which of them truly care about Hong Kong and treat Hong Kong people earnestly and sincerely
《基本法》第一百零四條訂明公務人員就職時須宣誓的要求，而在引入區議員於就職時須宣誓的規定後，《宣誓及聲明條例》亦會加入具體的宣誓要求，例如指明一些故意作出的行為會被視為拒絕或忽略作出誓言，以及須承受的後果等，這些都是市民大眾希望看到的規定。
Article 104 of the Basic Law provides for the requirements of oath - taking by public servants when assuming office . After the introduction of the requirements of oath - taking by DC members when assuming office specific oath - taking requirements will also be added to the Oaths and Declarations Ordinance . For example it will specify that some wilful acts will be regarded as declining or neglecting to take the oath and also provide for the consequences
區議員作為服務香港的公職人員，必須向市民和社會作出承諾，亦不能迴避。
These are the requirements the public hope to see . As public officers serving Hong Kong DC members must make a commitment to the people and the community and must not evade their duty
對於一些口不對心的議員，我不會奢望他們對香港負責。
Regarding those DC members who say one thing and do another I would not harbour an unrealistic wish that they would hold themselves accountable to Hong Kong
至於違反《宣誓及聲明條例》或誓言的公職人員，我們需要制定法規，訂明他們會被暫停職務、喪失公職人員資格及不得參選等。
As for public officers who violate the Oaths and Declarations Ordinance or breach the oath legislation should be enacted to stipulate that they will be suspended from duties and disqualified from holding public office and standing for election
政府在就《條例草案》提出的修正案中，建議區議員在暫停職務期間不得享有薪酬及津貼等待遇，是順理成章。
It is logical for the Government to propose amendments to the Bill to the effect that DC members shall not enjoy such entitlements as remuneration and allowances during the suspension
這些措施非常重要。
These are very important measures
區議員是香港的公職人員，必須宣誓效忠香港特區政府和《基本法》，這些都是最基本的要求，必須在有關法例訂定更清晰、更明確的規定。
Given that DC members are public officers in Hong Kong they must swear allegiance to the HKSAR Government and the Basic Law . This is the most basic requirement and must be laid down in the relevant legislation in clearer and more precise terms
這樣便可在建制架構內，即時制止他們胡作非為、分裂國家及擾亂社會的行為，防止他們遺害社會。
This enables actions to be taken within the institutional framework to immediately stop them from acting wantonly engaging in secession and causing turmoil in society thereby preventing them from doing harm to our society
《香港國安法》第三十五條亦訂明，任何人經法院判決犯危害國家安全罪行，須受處罰，包括即時喪失職務等。
Article 35 of the National Security Law also provides that a person who is convicted of an offence endangering national security by a court shall be subject to penalties including immediateremoval from office
該條文亦提到政府官員及公務人員，但遺憾地，是次修例工作並沒有將公務員納入《條例草案》的涵蓋範圍。
The provision does mention government officials and public servants as well . But regrettably civil servants are not covered in the Bill in the present legislative amendment exercise
我希望局長稍後能就我提出的公平性問題作出解釋。
I hope that the Secretary can provide an explanation later about the issue of fairness raised by me
現在表決修正案。
The committee now votes on the amendments
經修正的第21及26條。
Clauses 21 and 26 as amended
主席，今天我們討論《2021年公職條例草案》，自由黨表示支持。
President we are discussing the Public Offices Bill 2021 the Bill today and the Liberal Party expresses support to it
我要特別感謝法案委員會主席張宇人議員，因為要在這麼短時間內密集式開會。
Particularly I have to thank the Chairman of the Bills Committee Mr Tommy CHEUNG because meetings had to be held intensively within a short period of time
此 外，我更要多謝曾國衞局長。
Moreover I have to thank Secretary Erick TSANG
我知道他這數個月很辛苦，因為同時有數項大型的修例工作正在進行。
I know that he has been having some very hard times working over these months because a number of large - scale legislative amendment exercises are underway concurrently
正如前議員王國興經常說的"日以繼夜，夜以繼日"，我相信局長的團隊的工作應該未曾停止。
Just as the line often said by former Member Mr WONG Kwok - hing staying up day and night night and day I believe the team of the Secretary has never stopped working
然而，《條例草案》對於香港非常重要，因此，我很感謝他們的努力。
However the Bill is very important to Hong Kong so I am very thankful for their efforts
我相信當一系列的修例工作完成後，香港會有一番新景象。
I am convinced that the completion of a series of legislative amendments will bring new hope to Hong Kong
今次這項修訂法例對於香港是否重要呢？
Is the current legislative amendment important to Hong Kong?
《基本法》第一百零四條訂明："香港特別行政區行政長官、主要官員、行政會議成員、立法會議員、各級法院法官和其他司法人員在就職時必須依法宣誓擁護中華人民共和國香港特別行政區基本法，效忠中華人民共和國香港特別行政區。
Article 104 of the Basic Law stipulates that When assuming office the Chief Executive principal officials members of the Executive Council and of the Legislative Council judges of the courts at all levels and other members of the judiciary in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region must in accordance with law swear to uphold the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China and swear allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China
我提出上述過程是要告訴大家，過去《基本法》是有方法規範該等人士在宣誓時應該擔當的角色，而不是跳跳彈彈只為"吸引眼球"。
I mentioned the above case to tell Members that the role to be played by those people in the oath - taking process was previously governed by the Basic Law and they are not supposed to draw attention by acting in eye - catching ways
觀乎近年香港的政治環境，尤其是面對中美角力，現在的情況已不似過往純粹"抽水"那麼簡單。
Given Hong Kongs political environment in recent years especially in the face of the Sino - United States wrestling the situation now is no longer so simple as purely taking advantage of happenings in the past
根據過去在區議會的經歷，我覺得作為區議員，最重要的是服務所屬社區內的朋友的民生問題，包括交通、環境、衞生、投訴、建設等方面，盡量希望協助區內居民有更好的生活；如有甚麼需要"執漏"，我們亦會盡量幫忙。
According to my experience in DC I think it is most important for a DC member to serve the residents in the district by addressing their livelihood issues in aspects including transport environment hygiene complaints development in the hope of improving the living of the residents in the district . If there is a need to rectify defects we will also render our help as far as possible
為何要在區議會開會？
Why are meetings necessary for DCs?
因為區議會之下設有不同的委員會，會與不同的 官員會面。
Because the various committees formed under DCs will have meetings with different government officials
官員需要列席會議，讓區議員可以就區內關注的問題直接提問，而且會有會議紀錄。
Government officials have to attend the meetings to allow DC members to directly put questions about issues of concern in the district to them . There will also be minutes of meeting
官員可能會在會議上記下問題或即場解答，而即使無法即場作出承諾，及後也會替我們跟進。
They would either jot down the questions or answer them instantly at the meetings; and even if they cannot make an undertaking on the spot they would also follow up on the questions for us
這是一般區議會的運作情況。
This is the general picture of how a DC operates
我們負責在地區蒐集民意，然後透過區議會改善民生。
We are responsible for gauging public opinions in the district and subsequently improving peoples livelihood through DC
我想大家透過很多平台也可以看到，那些區議員藉着他們在區議會內的大多數優勢，不斷辱罵當區專員及與會官員，尤其是警務人員。
I think that Members may have learnt from many platforms that those DC members had made use of their advantage of being the majority in DCs to keep insulting DOs of the respective districts and government officials in attendance especially police officers
我已不知多少次從片段看到，高級警務人員、官員或專員在區議會會議上遭受區議會主席的奚落或侮辱，但所討論的卻不是民生的議題，而是政治議題，甚至是遠遠超出區議會功能，連立法會也不會討論的議題。
I cannot tell for how many times I have seen from video clips that senior police officers government officials or DOs were taunted or insulted by DC Chairmen at the DC meetings during which political but not livelihood issues were discussed . They had even gone beyond their functions and discussed issues that even the Legislative Council will not touch on
簡單而言，便是跟隨《基本法》第一百零四條的規定，最主要是"依法宣誓擁護中華人民共和國香港特別行政區基本法，效忠中華人民共和國香港特別行政區"。
Simply put they have to fulfil the requirements specified in Article 104 of the Basic Law which mainly requires them to in accordance with law swear to uphold the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China and swear allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China
我相信很多香港市民對此都不認同，尤其是他們利用這個平台宣揚自己的理念，想帶領香港踏上一條不歸路。
I believe many Hong Kong people do not agree with this especially when they use DCs as a platform to propagate their ideologies in an attempt to lead Hong Kong to a path of no return
代理主席，我發言支持通過《2021年公職條例草案》。
Deputy President I speak in support of the passage of the Public Offices Bill 2021 the Bill
這項《條例草案》的修訂內容包括：釐清法例中"擁護《基本法》、效忠特區"的涵義；區議員就職宣誓的規定；為公職人員監誓的安排；拒絕或忽略作出誓言及違反誓言的法律後果。
The content of the amendments of the Bill includes clarification of the meaning of uphold the Basic Law and bear allegiance to SAR in legislation; requirement for members of the District Councils DCs to take an oath when assuming office; arrangement for administration of public officers oaths and the legal consequences of declining or neglecting to take an oath and of breach of an oath
雖然政府公布修例的過程如此清晰，但卻仍聽到反對聲音，認為這是"香港政治大倒退"、"中央收緊紅線"。
Despite the Governments clear announcement of the legislative amendment procedure I can still hear voices of opposition describing the exercise as a big regression in terms of politics in Hong Kong and the tightening of the red line by the Central Authorities
這些說法可說是站不住腳，亦不顧客觀事實。
These remarks can be said to be groundless without regard to objective facts
根據資料顯示，全球已有超過170個國家的憲法規定了宣誓制度。
As shown by data there are over 170 countries worldwide in which an oath - taking system has been stipulated in their constitutions
不少歐美、亞洲等民主國家，宣誓人不單是國家的官員，議員及法官，公務員亦同樣需要在就職前宣誓效忠所屬國家，可見這是十分正常的規定。
In many democratic countries in Europe the United States Asia and so on not only state officials are required to take oath but Members judges and civil servants are also required to swear allegiance to the countries to which they belong before assuming office . This shows that this is a very normal requirement
因此，特區政府立法要求公職人員、立法會議員及區議員作出宣誓，是天經地義的事。
Therefore it is naturally and perfectly justified for the SAR Government to legislate to require public officers Members of the Legislative Council and DC members to take an oath
回顧回歸近24年來，中央政府充分表現出維護"一國兩制"、"港人治港"的誠意，對特區政府的運作給予充分的空間，一直沒有主動就宣誓效忠的事宜提出具體要求。
For the past nearly 24 years since the return of sovereignty the Central Government has fully demonstrated its sincerity in upholding one country two systems and Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong and giving adequate room for the operation of the SAR Government . All along the Central Government has not taken any initiative to propose specific requirements on swearing allegiance
然而，中央政府的寬容卻被反對派利用，有部分公職人員和區議員或議員無視宣誓時應有的態度及宣誓後應承擔的責任。
However the tolerance of the Central Government has been exploited by the opposition camp . Some public officers and DC members or Members have showed no regard for the proper attitude to be adopted when taking an oath and the due responsibilities to be undertaken after taking the oath
例如立法會2016年的宣誓風波及立法會反對派議員在議事堂內外的兒嬉態度，深深影響部分市民，尤其是年輕人對法治的價值觀，間接及直接地造成社會上連串無法無天的亂象。
For instance the oath - taking incident of the Legislative Council in 2016 and the frivolous attitude adopted by Legislative Council Members from the opposition camp inside and outside the Chamber have deeply affected the values of some members of the public especially young people towards the rule of law which has indirectly and directly given rise to the series of lawless chaos in society
反對派不單破壞香港的法治，還聯同外國勢力不斷灌輸"反中"、"抗中"的意識，向社會滲透極端激進的政治思潮，當中不乏公職人員和議員。
People from the opposition camp have not only ruined the rule of law in Hong Kong but have also kept instilling in society in collaboration with foreign forces the ideas of anti - China and resisting China as well as extremely radical political ideologies . Many of them are public officers and Members
他們在社會形成一種所謂"違法達義"的意識，形成對抗政府就是正義的錯誤價值觀，久而久之便衍生"攬炒派"的反動思潮。
They instilled in society the so - called ideology of achieving justice by violating the law which has caused an incorrect value that resisting the Government is righteous . As time goes by the reactionary ideology of the mutual destruction camp has come into being
"攬炒派"以阻礙香港發展、衝擊香港的政治體制，以及爭奪特區政府管治權為目的。
The mutual destruction camp aims at impeding the development of Hong Kong challenging the political system of Hong Kong and seizing the governing power from the SAR Government
前年由修訂《逃犯條例》引致的"黑暴"和"港獨"行為，由於沒有得到有效的壓制，已經達到泛濫的程度。
As the black - clad violence and Hong Kong independence acts arising from the amendment of the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance in the year before last have not been suppressed effectively they have reached an alarming level
在會議進行期間，他們肆無忌憚地留難與會的民政事務專員、警方代表等，意圖藉此引起公眾關注、加劇社會矛盾。
During the meetings they wantonly made things difficult for the District Officers and Police representatives attending the meetings in an attempt to arouse public concern and intensify social conflicts
這些都是沒有要求所有公職人員宣誓效忠所造成的後果。
These are all the consequences arising from not having a requirement for all public officers to swear allegiance
代理主席，為了讓香港的政局由亂入治，貫徹"一國兩制"中"愛國者治港"的基本原則，理順對立法會、區議會及公職人員的要求，列明有關公職人員的基本責任，皆是刻不容緩。
Deputy President in order to halt chaos and restore order in Hong Kong and implement the basic principle of patriots administering Hong Kong under one country two systems it brooks no delay to rationalize the requirements for the Legislative Council DCs and public officers and set out the basic responsibilities of the public officers
由於香港以往對《基本法》第一百零四條中提及的"擁護《基本法》和效忠特區"均未有清晰的定義，多年來被反對派及政客鑽制度的空子，利用議會平台散播"港獨自決"、公投、仇中及"違法達義"等違法言論，甚至要求外國政府干預香港事務、制裁香港的主要官員等。
As the expression of uphold the Basic Law and bear allegiance to SAR mentioned in Article 104 of the Basic Law in Hong Kong has not been clearly defined the opposition camp and politicians have exploited the loopholes in the system over the years . They have used the legislature as a platform to disseminate illegal remarks on self - determination over Hong Kongs independence referendum hatred against China and achieving justice by violating the law and even requested foreign governments to interfere with Hong Kong affairs and sanction principal officers in Hong Kong
一連串罔顧香港人利益的行為，蠶食了香港的核心價值。
A series of acts disregarding the interests of Hong Kong people have eroded the core values of Hong Kong
今次修例正是要正本清源，通過宣誓，有效地規限公職人員不能作出違反國家和特區政府根本利益底線的行為。
This legislative amendment exercise seeks precisely to deal with the problem at root by effectively restricting public officers through taking an oath from doing acts which infringe upon the bottom line of the fundamental interests of the country and the SAR Government
另一方面，針對目前區議會的亂象，根據《香港國安法》的規定，效忠香港特區是區議員的基本責任。
On the other hand regarding the current chaotic situation in DCs under the requirements of the National Security Law it is the basic responsibility of DC members to bear allegiance to HKSAR
《條例草案》除了引入區議員的宣誓規定外，同時訂明律政司司長可以根據《立法會條例》第73條、《區議會條例》第79條，向違反誓言的立法會議員或區議員提訴。
Apart from introducing the oath - taking requirements for DC members the Bill has also stipulated that under section 73 of the Legislative Council Ordinance and section 79 of the District Councils Ordinance the Secretary for Justice may bring proceedings against a Legislative Council Member or a DC member on the grounds of breach of oath
有關議員會即時自動暫停職務和職能，直至完成訴訟為止。
The duties and functions of the Membermember will be suspended automatically at once until the proceedings come to an end
這做法能更有效維護立法會和區議會的正常運作，避免再次發生亂象。
This can effectively maintain the normal operation of the Legislative Council and DCs and prevent the recurrence of the chaotic situation
代理主席，香港近數年來不斷在政治漩渦中掙扎，發展已經落後於周邊城市。
Deputy President in recent years Hong Kong has been struggling in political turbulence . Its development has already lagged behind those of its peripheral cities
希望通過中央及特區政府一連串措施，令香港重回正軌，市民可以過着安居樂業的日子。
It is hoped that through the series of measures implemented by the Central Government and the SAR Government Hong Kong will return to the normal track and the public can live in peace and work happily
代理主席，我發言支持《2021年公職條例草案》恢復二讀並通過。
Deputy President I speak to support the Second Reading and passage of the Public Offices Bill 2021 the Bill
數位新當選議員公然透過宣誓的過程，侮辱自己的民族及貶損國家。
A few newly elected Members openly insulted their own nation and demeaned their own country in the oath - taking process
結果，2016年11月7日全國人民代表大會常務委員會通過對《基本法》第一百零四條的解釋，說明宣誓一定要符合法定的形式和內容要求。
As a result on 7 November 2016 the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC adopted the Interpretation of Article 104 of the Basic Law which states the legal requirements in respect of the form and content of the oath
宣誓人一定要真誠莊重地進行宣誓，必須準確、完整、莊重地宣讀擁護《中華人民共和國香港特別行政區基本法》等內容。
An oath taker must take the oath sincerely and solemnly and must accurately completely and solemnly read out the content of the oath including upholding the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China
然而，雖然有這項釋法，但仍然存在漏洞。
Despite the Interpretation loopholes still exist
所以，我很高興看到《條例草案》豐富了條例對"擁護《基本法》、效忠特區"的提述，就是《條例草案》加入《釋義及通則條例》有關宣誓的提述。
Thus I am very glad that the Bill has enriched the reference to upholding the Basic Law and bearing allegiance to HKSAR by adding a reference to oath - taking in the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance Cap
這提述包括兩部分：第一是正面清單，第二是負面清單，非常詳盡。
1 . The reference which includes two parts of firstly the positive list and secondly the negative list is very detailed
大家看看正面清單及負面清單的內容，其實不是甚麼新事物。
If Members read the content of the positive list and the negative list they will realize that it is actually nothing new
我們回顧歷史會留意到在上世紀80年代，鄧小平先生提出了"一國兩制"。
Looking back at history we may notice that in the 1980s Mr DENG Xiaoping put forth the principle of one country two systems
在以"一國兩制"的模式收回行使香港的主權時，鄧先生會見了 很多外商，並在不同場合談及何謂"愛國者"和甚麼人才是愛國者。
Once decided that the sovereignty of Hong Kong upon its return would be exercised under the one country two systems model Mr DENG then met with many foreign entrepreneurs and discussed on various occasions the meaning of patriots and who would be patriots
我記得他說過，第一，是真誠擁護支持香港回歸；第二，要尊重自己的民族；第三，不做傷害特區的穩定繁榮及利益的事。
I remember that he said firstly they must sincerely support the return of Hong Kong; secondly they must respect their own nation; and thirdly they must not harm the stability prosperity and interests of SAR
這些元素都包含在正面清單中。
All these elements have been included in the positive list
至於負面清單，也是鑒於過去數年所發生一些令人震驚的事件而訂定的，包括議會內有很多爭議，有些宣誓擁護《基本法》的議員進入議會後逢中必反，凡是加強我們與國家聯繫的事宜，例如"一地兩檢"，他們便反對；《國歌條例》，他們亦反對。
Regarding the negative list it is formulated in light of some shocking incidents that happened over the past few years including the numerous disputes in this Council . After joining the legislature some Members who have taken the oath to uphold the Basic Law indiscriminately opposed all proposals related to China . They opposed all proposals to strengthen connection with our country eg
提起新冠病毒肺炎，他們必然說成武漢肺炎；國民教育，他們反對；普教中，他們又反對。
They also opposed the National Anthem Ordinance . Whenever we came across the novel coronavirus pneumonia they would certainly refer it as Wuhan pneumonia . They also opposed the introduction of the subject of National Education and the use of Putonghua as the medium of instruction for teaching the Chinese Language subject
如果一名已宣誓的議員有這些行為，其實已不是真誠宣誓。
If a Member who has taken the oath committed these acts he or she has actually not taken the oath sincerely
所以，我很高興看到《條例草案》提出一項程序，就是律政司司長可沒有時限採取法律程序，以剝奪該議員的資格。
Thus I am very glad that the Bill has introduced a procedure for the Secretary for Justice to institute legal proceedings to disqualify that Member without any time limit
正如很多同事提及，這樣有助議會撥亂反正，讓真正的愛國者在議會內擔當重要的職位。
As many colleagues have mentioned this will help get this Council back on the right track so that the genuine patriots can take up important positions in the legislature
正如梁美芬議員剛才也指出，全世界多個國家或政府均有類似的安排，就是擔任公職，特別是議會的職位，便應該宣誓。
As Dr Priscilla LEUNG pointed out earlier on many countries or governments in the world have adopted similar arrangements by requiring a person taking up public office particularly office in the legislature to take an oath
如果不莊嚴地宣誓或違反宣誓，亦會有一定的制裁。
If a person fails to solemnly take the oath or breaches the oath he or she will certainly be censured
