我大致上同意這些修訂方向，但對於法團須遵守的管理標準和常規，政府會繼續沿用目前"工作守則"的模式，只會訂明最佳做法。
I generally agree to these directions of amendment . But speaking of the management standards and established practices that OCs must follow the Government has said that it will adhere to the existing mode of issuing codes of practice setting out best practices only
因為在實際運作中，守則並無法律效力，即使完全不依循守則，亦沒有任何後果和責任。
I have great reservations about this approach because in practicality such codes of practice are not legally binding . Even if anyone utterly fails to follow them he will not have to bear any consequences or liabilities
政府過去將法規訂得寬鬆，目的是吸引業主自行組織法團，為大廈負上法律責任。
The Government did not enact stringent rules and regulations in the past because it wanted property owners to form OCs on their own to take up the legal responsibilities for their buildings
結果，政府成功達到目的，很多大廈都成立了業主法團，但經過一段時間後，便流弊叢生。
The result shows that the Government has successfully achieved this objective in the sense that OCs have been formed in many buildings . But after the passage of some time many shortcomings have emerged
政府認為，如果在守則加入刑責，會打擊市民參加法團的意欲，但其實只要大家不 做違法的事，根本無須擔心有否刑責問題。我們要明白，要令不法分子，包括心懷不軌的法團成員無法下手造假，是不能單靠自律的，最低限度應在部分守則加入刑責。
The Government considers that the addition of criminal liability in such codes of practice may undermine peoples desire to participate in OCs
根據《議事規則》第49B條，就譴責周浩鼎議員而動議的議案。
Motion under Rule 49B1A of the Rules of Procedure to censure Mr Holden CHOW
對於泛民議員提出的這項議案，我不太想批評他們浪費議會時間或為做而做，因為很多同事已作出這些批評。
Regarding this motion initiated by pan - democratic Members I do not really want to criticize them for wasting the Councils time or for doing it just for the sake of doing it because many of my Honourable colleagues have already made such criticisms
他們可以根據《議事規則》提出這項議案辯論，但這次彈劾明顯是一個偽命題。
They can initiate this motion for debate under the Rules of Procedure but this idea of impeachment is apparently a pseudo - proposition
凡事總有其目的，而根據議案內容，這次彈劾的目的是要求梁振英因其瀆職問題辭職。
Everything has its purpose . According to the contents of this motion the purpose of this impeachment proposal is to demand LEUNG Chun - yings resignation for his dereliction of duty
可是，大家都知道，行政長官的任期只餘下22天。
However as we all know he has only 22 days left in his tenure as the Chief Executive
其實，這齣鬧劇已上演了1,804集，由梁振英在2012年7月1日上任起上演至今。
In fact they have been staging this farce for 1 804 days ever since LEUNG Chun - ying was inaugurated on 1 July 2012
反對派經常批評特首上任後便沒有再帶一支筆、一本簿落區，指他說謊。
Opposition Members often criticize the Chief Executive for not visiting the districts with a pen and a notepad anymore after his assumption of office
他們又是否記得，他們每次在特首落區時是如何追擊他和衝擊會場，令他根本無法接觸市民或聆聽市民的意見？
They call him a liar . But do they recall how they attacked the Chief Executive every time he visited a district and how they stormed the venue rendering him unable to reach out to the public or listen to peoples views?
如果說行政長官瀆職和違反誓言，因而值得彈劾，那麼反對派同樣應因其種種行為而受到彈劾和譴責。
If it is said that the Chief Executive deserves to be impeached for dereliction of duty and breach of oath then I would say opposition Members should also be impeached and censured for various acts on their part
常言道，用1隻手指指着別人時，另外4隻手指是指着自己。
As the saying goes When you point a finger at someone you have four fingers pointing back at yourself
泛民議員經常說，站在政治高地的人應比白紙更白。
The pan - democrats often say that people standing on the political high ground should be whiter than white
前議員李卓人也被指收取捐款但沒有申報。
LEE Cheuk - yan a former Member was likewise alleged to have accepted a donation without making declaration
第一，他們沒有"找數"，說會自首，最後卻沒有自首，這是有失誠信。
First they went back on their word . They had promised that they would surrender themselves but they did not do so in the end . This was a breach of trust
第二，他們作出了違法行為。
Second their acts were illegal
當然，我們的檢察機構處理此事的效率甚低，有些案件至今還未進入司法程序。
Admittedly our prosecuting agency was very inefficient in handling this issue . Some of the cases in question have yet to be brought to court
事實上，很多市民都問我們為何不彈劾反對派。
In fact many members of the public have asked us why we do not impeach these opposition Members
如果達得到，我們都很想彈劾這群瀆職和違反立法會誓言的議員。立法會誓言的其中一句是"盡忠職守，遵守法律"。
Given the current political reality the impeachment threshold of a two - thirds majority vote of the Members present is just unattainable otherwise we would really like to impeach these Members for dereliction of duty and breaching the Legislative Council Oath which contains a pledge to act conscientiously dutifully and in full accordance with the law
很 可惜，現今的政治生態是"只問立場，不問是非"。
Sadly todays political ecology is only about political stands without regard for the rights and wrongs
代理主席，我們經常說，香港現已步入民粹的困局。
Deputy President we always say that Hong Kong has sunk into a quagmire of populism
民粹主義的其中一個表象，就是要塑造一個敵人或稻草人。
One manifestation of populism is the creation of an enemy or a straw man known as the Other
建構了這個非我族類的他者後，民粹主義者會對其進行對抗、抵制、排斥，以增加自己的民意。
Having constructed the Other the populists will oppose resist and reject it in order to win over public opinion
這個他者或對立面越強大或做的事情越壞，民粹主義者便可以為自己"集氣"，佔據更高的道德高地。
The stronger or the more evil the Other or the opponent is the easier the populists can drum up support for themselves and seize a higher moral ground
這正是反對派過去的一種套路或策略。
This is exactly the approach or strategy that the opposition camp has been using all along
反對派今次提出的議案，只是損人利己的政治鬧劇、政治"爛數"，市民已看厭了。
This motion initiated by the oppositionists is just a political farce or political bad debt which serves to benefit themselves at the expense of others . People are sick of it
要整個社會"埋單"，用立法會兩天時間進行討論，我認為並無任何實質意義。
Now the whole community has to foot the bill and the Legislative Council has to spend two days discussing it . This is practically meaningless as far as I am concerned
我不同意並會反對這項彈劾議案。
I do not agree to this impeachment motion and I will vote against it
主席，由昨天至今天共有27人發言，包括政務司司長，但大部分發言的都是反對派同事。
President a total of 27 persons including the Chief Secretary for Administration have spoken on these two days and most of those who have spoken are the opposition Members
他們動議根據《基本法》第七十三條第九項彈劾特首梁振英先生，有28名議員簽署。
The motion is jointly initiated by 28 Members who call for the impeachment of Chief Executive LEUNG Chun - ying under Article 739 of the Basic Law
他們大部分都說要有公義，在程序上要做得好，我們必須認同這點。
Most of them have talked about justice and proper procedure to which we certainly agree
做任何事情，我們都應依章依法。
Whatever we do we must follow the proper rules and legislation
但是，就今天這項議案而言，我想跟大家分享3點，第一，在程序方面，反對派議員是否做得到位？
However in respect of this motion I would like to point out three things . First have the opposition Members followed the proper procedure? . Let us look at the wording of the motion
先看看這項議案的措辭，當中說鑒於全體議員有不少於四分之一聯合動議，指控特首嚴重違法，以及有瀆職行為，有關詳情在附表和附錄中。如果特首拒絕在合理時間內辭職，本會便根據《基本法》第七十三條第九項動議議案云云。
It is stated in the motion [w]hereas not less than one - fourth of all the Members of this Council have jointly initiated this motion charging the Chief Executive with serious breach of law and dereliction of duty and whereas the said Chief Executive refuses to resign within a reasonable time this Council will move a motion in accordance with Article 739 of the Basic Law so on and so forth
首先我想問，究竟他們何時要求過特首辭職？
First may I ask when they have demanded the Chief Executive to resign?
議案附表指梁振英先生"透過本會周浩鼎議員作出不恰當地介入專責委員會事務的行為，試圖妨礙、扭曲或影響專責委員會的調查方向、內容及結果"。
It is stated in the Schedule of the motion that Mr LEUNG Chun - ying worked through Hon Holden CHOW Ho - ding to improperly interfere with the affairs of the Select Committee in an attempt to frustrate deflect or affect the direction course and result of the inquiry to be carried out by the Select Committee
在政治上這是個觀感問題。
This is an issue of political impression
這份文件並無任何法律效力，議員在這個問題上純粹以道德標準作出批判。這又是否恰當？
Since the paper has no legal effect is it appropriate for Members to make a judgment on this issue purely on the basis of moral standards?
在泛民28位同事中，我想大有人在。
I believe among the 28 pan - democratic Members many have acted in contempt of the Council
由去年10月中旬至此刻，發生10宗或以上的個案，當中議員的行為令人慘不忍睹，完全敗壞綱紀。
From mid - October last year up till this moment there have been over 10 cases in which Members acted in despicable ways which completely violated law and order
例如"梁游宣誓風波"，不分青紅皂白，只有立場，而不講事理、法理，在宣誓的莊嚴儀式中，大搞動作，成為全世界的笑柄。
For example during the oath - taking of Sixtus LEUNG and YAU Wai - ching both of them confounded right and wrong they only held onto their stance but not rationality and legal justification . They made drastic actions in such a solemn oath - taking ceremony turning Hong Kong into a laughing stock of the whole world
專責委員會尚未正式工作，反對派議員已經搞到天翻地覆、亂七八糟，引來各方批評，干擾專責委員會的工作。
Before the Select Committee formally starts to operate certain opposition Member had already caused a great mess that attracted criticisms from all sides and obstructed the work of the Select Committee
5月15日發生了周浩鼎議員的風波，那次是閉門會議，大家一致贊同要守口如瓶，未有結論不能向外宣揚。
The incident concerning Mr Holden CHOW was disclosed on 15 May during a closed - door meeting . Everyone agreed to be tight - mouthed about the issues discussed and would not disclose information to the public before a conclusion was made
那時有人在會議上說，現時叫作閉門，稍後就不是閉門，稍後就開門了。
Then someone said to the effect that the meeting was now held behind closed doors but later the door would be wide open
言猶在耳。
These words are still ringing in my ears
我遵從守秘規則，隻字不提，所有傳媒問我，我一一推卻，唯獨是有些人"叻唔切"，只識"標前"、有勇而無謀、做事亂衝亂撞，還挾着公義、法律。
I have complied with the rules of confidentiality and have not said a word . When I was asked by the media I declined to answer . But some people were too eager to show off; they acted foolhardily and recklessly in the name of justice and law
他們往往打着公義與法律的旗號，自己卻打敗公義和法律，將我們應該守秘的說話全部宣揚出去。
They are the ones who defy justice and law under the banner of fighting for justice and law and have made known all the information that we should supposedly keep confidential
以往打家劫舍1,000次，並不代表今次打家劫舍一兩次就算沒有犯罪。
If one commits a thousand crimes in the past that does not mean he has not violated the law for committing just one crime
反對派議員在意識中都知道這樣不對，但仍偏偏要做，浪費了立法會很多寶貴時間。
The opposition Members are consciously aware that they are wrong but they still insist to go ahead hence wasting a great deal of precious time of the Legislative Council
代理主席，我剛才聽到黃碧雲議員慷慨陳詞。
Deputy President just now Dr Helena WONG has spoken passionately
她發言開始時便說，成立調查委員會是為調查特首在事件中做得是否恰當。
She started off by saying that the purpose of forming an investigation committee is to investigate whether the Chief Executive had acted appropriately in the incident
我並非不相信他，但我也認為他做得不恰當，因為這關乎政治觀感的問題。
It is not that I do not trust him but I think he had acted inappropriately because the matter is related to a politically sensitive issue
我經常也勸他，做事要小心，要顧及公眾的觀感，因為我們是建制派。
I often advise him to act carefully and pay attention to public perception because we are pro - establishment Members
此外，她還提及新聞自由。
Moreover she mentioned freedom of the press
早前黎智英恐嚇記者，她有沒有譴責？
Did she reprimand Jimmy LAI for threatening a reporter earlier?
我甚至多次提到，有人經常把立法會當作一個法庭，甚至是調查機構，但議員其實沒有這權力，立法會只是一個政治宣傳的機關。
I have even said many times that some people are treating the Legislative Council as a court or an organization of investigation but in fact Members of the Legislative Council do not have such powers and the Legislative Council is being treated as an organ for political propaganda
我認同李國麟議員及朱凱廸議員所說，所有政治問題，一定會有對手。
I agree with Prof Joseph LEE and Mr CHU Hoi - dick that politics is always about finding opponents
李國麟議員亦說，這是一場政治遊戲，如果抓到對手把柄，一定會窮追猛打，我也同意。
Prof Joseph LEE also said that this was a political game; if people obtained information against the opposite side they would certainly vigorously pursue the matter . I also agree
我希望盡量避免使用惡毒詞語。
I hope that Members can refrain from using malicious terms
我希望未來成立任何專責委員會時，議員不要有既定立場，覺得特首一定有罪。
I hope that if we form any select committee in the future Members will not take the established stand that the Chief Executive must be guilty
對我來說，梁振英與我非親非故，甚至有人認為我是"梁粉"，我很坦白說我不是"梁粉"，他做得對，我支持，他做得錯，我便反對。
To me LEUNG Chun - ying is neither my relative nor my friend . Although some people consider me a LEUNGs fan I honestly say I am not . If he has done something right I will support; if he has done something wrong I will oppose
但是，對於今次特首選舉，其實我希望梁振英連任，因為做事的人一定會得罪很多不同利益群體，要獲得全部人認同，根本不可能。
However in the recent election of the Chief Executive I actually hoped that LEUNG Chun - ying could remain as the Chief Executive . The reason is that a person who tries to accomplish any task will surely offend groups with different interests and one simply cannot obtain the support of everyone
所以，我希望香港社會能多些包容和理解，如果他有錯，可以批評他，但不用置他於死地。
Thus I hope that the society of Hong Kong can become more tolerant and understanding . If LEUNG Chun - ying has committed any fault we can criticize him but we do not have to push him to the dead end
代理主席，此議題在立法會討論多年，如果我們今天還在爭論六四事件曾否發生，我會覺得很奇怪。
Deputy President this question has been discussed in the Legislative Council for many years . I would find it strange if we were still arguing today whether the 4 June incident took place or not
作為一位教師，或說得動聽一點是學者也好，我認為這是歷史事實。
As a teacher or―in more pleasing terms―a scholar I think it is a historical fact
然而，我們正正看到這樁事件令我們這一代有一個歷史的傷口，就是當權的政府竟然以不同的原因，派軍隊射殺自己的人民。
However we can exactly see that it is the very incident that has inflicted a historical wound on our generation because the government in power sent in troops to shoot at its own people for various reasons
我說出了眾多事實，無非想帶出一點，就是這既然是一個歷史事實，我們不可能忘記亦不需要忘記。
I have stated these many facts only to make the point that given that it is a historical fact we cannot forget it and need not forget it
所以，黃碧雲議員今天的議案是值得我們支持的，我們一定要重提這個歷史事實，不能竄改，這是第一點。
Therefore Dr Helena WONGs motion today is worthy of our support . We must revisit this historical fact without tampering with it . This is the first point
頗困難，我覺得應該要平反，這是大家作為中國人都想看到的事情。
It is quite difficult . I think it should be vindicated . It is what we all long to see as Chinese
第三點，希望我們繼續有言論自由，讓這個事件繼續在香港流傳下去，不被人竄改及忘記。
Third I hope we can continue to enjoy freedom of speech so that this incident will continue to spread in Hong Kong without being tampered with and forgotten
在香港，每天、每年都可以這樣做，正正能讓香港人知道我們還有言論自由。
In Hong Kong being able to do so every day and every year exactly tells Hongkongers that we still have freedom of speech
二十八年，人生有多少事情可以讓一個人堅持28年？
Twenty - eight years may I ask how many things one can persist for 28 years in his life?
1989年6月4日，我當時在美國剛剛投身社會不足兩年，忙着自己的工作和生活，對於社會、政治、國家和香港的事務都不大關心。
Back then on 4 June 1989 I had just joined the workforce in the United States for less than two years and was busy with my work and life . I did not care too much about society politics China and Hong Kong
不 過，當我在電視上看到六四屠城時，便停下了手上的工作，並開始關注和支援民運。
However when I saw the 4 June massacre on television I immediately put aside my work and started to show concern for and give support to the pro - democracy movement
六四改變了我的一生。
The 4 June incident has changed my life
每一代人總有一些事情會改變其一生，亦可能有啟蒙他們的事。
There must be some incidents that change the life of people in every generation or there must be some incidents that inspire them
對於香港人甚至部分中國人，特別是香港人，早一代的事情可能是釣魚台事件，到了我這一代便是六四，而較年輕的一代則可能是七一、"國教"或雨傘運動。
To Hong Kong people and even some Chinese people but Hong Kong people in particular the Diaoyu Islands incident might affect or inspire people of the last generation the 4 June incident for this generation and for the younger generation it might be the demonstrations held on 1 July the movement against national education or the Umbrella Movement
時至今天，很多身在外國的香港人依然這樣做。
Today many Hong Kong people staying abroad still continue to do so
在六四一事上，香港人一直擔當一個特別的角色。
With regard to the 4 June incident Hong Kong people have all along played a very special role
每年有最多人參與的悼念活動在維園舉行，28年如是，而香港學生早在28年前已上京支援。
Every year the activity that has the highest attendance is the one held at the Victoria Park to commemorate the 4 June incident and it has been held for 28 years . Hong Kong students had gone to Beijing for support as early as 28 years ago
一些較年輕或未有經歷"八九六四"的年輕人可能會問，此事與香港人何干？
People who are relatively younger or have not experienced the 4 June incident may ask what does this incident have to do with Hong Kong people?
首先，只有香港人才可以自由說出良心說話，而這當然也要有人選擇說出良心說話。
Firstly only Hong Kong people can speak freely according to their conscience and of course that depends on how many people are willing to do so
多年來，特別是回歸前後，香港人面對很多不公平的事，不公義和不公平的事情從未間斷，特別是在回歸後。
Over the years before and after the reunification in particular Hong Kong people have come across a lot of unfairness and injustices . It seems that unfairness has never ceased especially after the reunification
二十年來，我們仍然沒有真民主，於是有人以為現時就像溫水煮蛙般，這一代年輕人已經沒有希望，他們都已經被政權"洗腦"。
Twenty years have passed but we still do not have genuine democracy . Some people thus think that we are like frogs being cooked in lukewarm water and there is no hope for young people of this generation as they have been brainwashed by the authority
可是，雨傘運動甚至之前的國教運動卻顯示情況並不是這樣。
Nonetheless the Umbrella Movement and the anti - national education movement have proved that this is not the case
這令我想起一位我很尊敬的前輩對我說的一番話，他說要對香港人有信心，到了關鍵時刻，他們便會站起來。
I remember the words said to me by a very respectable predecessor . He said we must have faith in Hong Kong people because they will stand up at critical moments
我覺得今天的年輕人與28年前我們那一代的年輕人，在本質上並沒有太大分別，只是他們在回歸後的20年來，每當看到香港的不公義，以及北京政權為香港所帶來的不公義，便失去耐性，希望想出一些新方法來面對，這是可以理解的。
I think young people of today do not differ much in nature from our generation 28 years ago . It is only that 20 years after the reunification whenever they saw injustices in Hong Kong or injustices brought about by the Beijing regime to Hong Kong they would be impatient and come up with some new reactions which is understandable
不過，我相信只要有一天，當關鍵時刻真正出現，面對強權、極權、殺人的政權及種種的不公義時，每一代的香港人都會團結地站起來。
Notwithstanding that I believe one day when the critical moment comes and people have to rise against the powerful autocratic and murderous regime and various injustices Hong Kong people of different generations will surely stand up in unison
不過，現時最難處理的，是一群只顧眼前利益，不顧做人的基本良知對錯的人，而這些人當然包括很多本應留在議事廳辯論這個議題，但卻已離席的建制派議員。
At present the most difficult situation to deal with is that there are people who only care about immediate benefits and they have therefore cast aside the basic conscience of human beings to tell right from wrong . Among these people there are of course Members of the pro - establishment camp who should have stayed in this Chamber to discuss this subject but have all left
原來有些香港人真的會見利忘義，是公義的"義"。只要知道這些人的本質，便不難看出他們就每件事所作的言行的出發點是甚麼。
It is true that some Hong Kong people have given up justice for economic interests but so long as we know the nature of these people it is not difficult to tell the objectives behind their words and deeds
對他們來說，六四是很想忘記又不敢 面對的事情。
To them the 4 June incident is something they eagerly want to forget but dare not forget
然而，對於我們和很多一直在堅持的香港人，甚至是那些沒有參與維園悼念活動但心卻與我們在一起的香港人，我們必須敢言面對，爭取平反，不敢、不會也不肯忘記。
However to us and many other Hong Kong people who have persevered unremittingly as well as those who have tied their hearts with us even though they have not participated in the commemorative activities in Victoria Park we must be outspoken and fight for the vindication of the 4 June incident . We dare not forget will not forget and refuse to forget
我記得當晚有人訪問何俊仁，他說得很好，他說對的事情，堅持28年又算得上是甚麼？
I remember when Mr Albert HO was interviewed on that night he made a very good remark saying that pursuing something which we considered right for 28 years does not mean anything
其實，應該不止堅持一生。
In fact we should persevere beyond this life
回想28年前，我在首數年真的有想過，可能有生之年都無法平反六四，但我仍會堅持悼念。
Looking back 28 years ago I did think in the first few years that the 4 June pro - democracy movement would not be vindicated within my lifetime
因此，我今天會繼續支持黃碧雲議員所提出"毋忘六四，平反八九民運"的議案。
Therefore today I will continue to support Dr Helena WONGs motion urging that the 4 June incident be not forgotten and the 1989 pro - democracy movement be vindicated
代理主席，關於加強監管私人樓宇維修及保養工程，保障市民權益，上一屆立法會已舉行過兩次議員議案辯論。
Deputy President as regards stepping up regulation on the repairs and maintenance works of private buildings to protect peoples rights and benefits there were two debates on Members motions in the last Legislative Council
對於今天林卓廷議員動議的原議案和其他4位議員同事的修正案，其大方向和一些主要的建議，我認為是值得支持的。
I find the general direction of and some main suggestions made in Mr LAM Cheuk - tings original motion and the amendments of the other four Honourable colleagues worthy of support
本港樓宇老化問題日趨嚴重，樓齡達30年或以上的樓宇約有20,000幢，10年後將增至30,000幢。
The ageing of buildings in Hong Kong will become increasingly serious . There are about 20 000 buildings aged 30 years or above and the number will increase to 30 000 after 10 years
值得注意的是，根據《香港2030+：跨越2030年的規劃遠景與策略》諮詢文件，到了2046年，樓齡達70年或以上的私人住宅單位數目將達到326,000個，比2015年增加近300倍，反映樓宇維修保養的重要性和迫切性。
It is noteworthy that according to the consultation papers of Hong Kong 2030 Towards a Planning Vision and Strategy Transcending 2030 in 2046 the number of private residential units aged 70 years or above will reach 326 000 300 times more than that in 2015 reflecting the importance and urgency of repairs and maintenance of buildings
特區政府於2009年推出"樓宇更新大行動"，主要由市區重建局與香港房屋協會推行，為業主提供津貼及技術支援，涉及35億元，資助逾3,200幢樓齡逾30年的舊樓進行維修。
The SAR Government rolled out the Operation Building Bright in 2009 which is mainly implemented by the Urban Renewal Authority URA and the Hong Kong Housing Society HKHS to provide subsidies and technical support to owners . It involves a sum of 3.5 billion for subsidizing the repairs of over 3 200 old buildings aged 30 years or above
屋宇署自2012年6月又實施強制驗樓計劃，針對樓齡達30年或以上的樓宇，每年揀選若干幢要求進行強制檢驗和必要的修葺。
The Buildings Department has implemented the Mandatory Building Inspection Scheme since June 2012 targeting buildings aged 30 years or above . Every year a few buildings will be selected to undergo compulsory inspection and necessary repairs
另外，房協和市建局亦透過強制驗樓資助計劃，向合資格業主提供財政支援，這些計劃顯然促進了社會對樓宇和社區安全的關注。
Moreover HKHS and URA through the Mandatory Building Inspection Subsidy Scheme provide financial assistance to eligible owners . These schemes have obviously enhanced societys awareness of building and community safety
樓宇維修工程往往涉及龐大的金額，難免引起不法分子垂涎。
Building maintenance works often involve huge sums inevitably becoming the coveted prey of lawbreakers
近年樓宇維修工程出現不少爭拗個案，甚至出現疑似圍標，令中標價超出市場的合理水平，增加小業主的負擔。
In recent years building maintenance works have given rise to many disputes and even bid - rigging causing the tender prices to rise beyond the reasonable range and thus adding to the burden of small property owners
但情況是否達到原議案所指"本港樓宇維修工程遭黑社會參與的圍標集團壟斷"的嚴重程度呢？
However has the situation reached such a serious point that building maintenance works in Hong Kong have been monopolized by bid - rigging syndicates involving triad members as suggested in the original motion?
各界可能便會有不同意見。
Various sectors may have different views
然而，害群之馬雖然只是少數，但影響所及，連不少正當商人與專業人士亦對這類工程卻步。
Nonetheless these black sheep though small in number can create such effects that even many honest businessmen and professionals back away from such kind of works
據執法機構揭露，有業主立案法團或業主委員會成員和承建商等，涉嫌貪污或串謀詐騙。
As law enforcement agencies have exposed some owners corporations OCs or members of owners committees and contractors etc allegedly engaged in bribery or conspired to defraud
我相信法律是公正的，違法者將面對法律制裁。
I believe in the justice of law . Lawbreakers will receive legal sanctions
事實上，樓宇維修問題複雜，涉及眾多持份者，包括業主、業主大會或法團、物業管理公司、工程顧問公司和工程承辦商等。
As a matter of fact building maintenance is a complex matter involving many stakeholders including owners owners committees or OCs property management companies engineering consultants and contractors etc
我們應該對症下藥，既要加強行業規管，保障業主的權益，也應保持適當的靈活性，為相關行業人士提供公平及公正的營商環境。
We should suit the solution to the problem by strengthening regulation of the industry to protect the rights and interests of owners while maintaining certain flexibility in providing a fair and just business environment for relevant industry practitioners
《競爭條例》 已於2015年年底實施，明確規定圍標屬於"嚴重反競爭行為"。
The Competition Ordinance came into force in the end of 2015 expressly stipulating that bid - rigging is serious anti - competitive conduct
競爭事務委員會於去年5月發表了一份關於住宅樓宇翻新及維修市場若干範疇的研究報告，回應了公眾對該市場涉嫌存在合謀行為的關注，亦為日後的執法行動和倡導工作提供參考。
The Competition Commission published the Report on Study into Aspects of the Market for Residential Building Renovation and Maintenance in May last year to address public concerns over the alleged collusive activities in the market and provide reference for future enforcement and advocacy efforts
