已經在先天上主席，這個立法會，立法本身就是我們最重要的工作，而其他工作，當然在《基本法》第七十三條清楚說明，我們要批准政府的財政預算。
Intrinsically President we are the Legislative Council and making laws is naturally our paramount duty . We of course have other tasks and they are stipulated clearly in Article 73 of the Basic Law . These tasks include the approval of the budgets introduced by the Government
凡是撥款，都是重要的，都是有法定效力的。
All appropriation approvals are important and carry legislative effect
立法當然是有法定效力的。
And the legislation enacted of course carry legislative effect
這些都是議會最重要的工作，到了投票時， 其實建制派便會贏。
All these are the most important tasks of the legislature . Actually the pro - establishment camp will always win in voting . Most Government bills and motions put before the Legislative Council will be endorsed
政府提交上來的法案及議案，多數會通過；議員提出來的議案，要功能界別加直選均過半數才能夠通過所以，這個結構在先天上，我們在直選方面因為能夠獲取多數選民的支持，所以我們一直在直選議席佔多數，而因此我們能否決由建制派提出的任何議案；同樣，他們亦在功能界別可以否決由民主派提出的議案。
As for Members motions their passage will require the majority support of both Functional Constituency Members and those returned by geographical constituencies . This inherent feature of the voting system therefore enables us to vote down any motions moved by the pro - establishment camp because we always manage to win majority support in geographical constituency elections and thus occupy the majority of directly elected seats . Similarly Functional Constituency Members of the pro - establishment camp can also vote down any motions moved by the pro - democracy camp
如果這個議會真的要為人民謀幸福，真的要反映市民的聲音，經過這麼多市民、這麼多代人的努力，我們今天有這樣的經濟成就，我們有條件可以做得更好。
Well if this legislature is to work for the well - being of the people and reflect their voices we should realize that with the present economic achievement made possible by successive generations of people we are now in a very good position to make things much better than before
但是，今天我看到建制派，急於為了在這個"千載難逢"，民主派5位直選議員被"DQ"，我們在直選那邊變成少數的時機下，便急於修改遊戲規則，將龍門越搬越遠，越改越細，着我們有本事便射球，但我們連球也帶不到龍門附近。
But as we can see at this very time when five pro - democracy Members have been disqualified and we have become the minority in the group of directly elected Members the pro - establishment camp has simply hastened to seize this very rare opportunity . They want to change the rules of the game push the goal farther away and reduce its size daring us to shoot . But we cannot even dribble the ball to anywhere near the goal
當一個社會、議會到了這麼偏袒，完全失去平衝的地步，沒錯，統治者的意旨或一些既得利益者的意旨，是會非常暢通地實行，一切都會回復暢順。
Indeed when our society or legislature is plunged into such as state of partiality and total imbalance the dictates of the power or people with vested interests can always be implemented smoothly and everything will run smoothly once again
但是，他們不會聽到反對的聲音，因為反對的聲音已經很難在這個議會出現。
But in that case they will never hear any opposition voices because such voices will become very rare in the legislature
我們無法阻止一些惡法或不好的事，我們亦難以影響政府的決定。
We will be unable to block the passage of draconian laws or prevent undesirable happenings and we will find it very hard to influence government decisions
威權政治？
Authoritarianism?
主席，現在是21世紀，我們有這麼高的經濟水平，自稱為國際城市，是否要用到這些手段呢？
President it is now the 21 century the year 2017 . As a city with such a high level of economic achievement that calls itself a world city should we employ all such means?
既然你們這麼崇尚公平競爭，既然你們說講道理，便正正式式講道理。
Since you people attaches such great importance to fair competition since you say you are sensible people you should all reason things out properly
有甚麼困難呢？
Is it very difficult for you to do so?
"林鄭"說，不會的，《議事規則》跟甚麼第二十三條立法完全是兩回事，她從政30多年，從來沒有做傷害市民的事情。
Carrie LAM says that the amendment of the Rules of Procedure and the enactment of legislation to implement Article 23 of the Basic Law are two unrelated matters . She says she has been involved in public administration for more than 30 years and asserts that the Government has never done anything that will harm the people
政府真的很少會故意做傷害市民的事情，不過它一定會維護既得利益者，包括今天在座很多功能界別議員所代表的財團，他們背後便是利益分贓。
I think it is admittedly true that the Government seldom intends to do anything that will harm the people . But it is equally true that it will always protect people with vested interests including the consortia represented by the Functional Constituency Members present here today . Behind these Members benefits are apportioned secretly
它是不會故意害市民的，只是首先照顧既得利益者而已。
It is true that the Government will not do harm to the people purposefully . But the thing is that it will look after people with vested interests only
當它只是照顧既得利益者時，往往便會有機會犧牲掉市民的福祉，她說政府沒有做錯事嗎？
And as it concentrates solely on looking after such people it is often likely to forgo the well - being of the people . Is she right in saying that the Government has not done anything wrong?
我們接着面對的，當然包括第二十三條立法、《國歌法》如何限制我們的自由、"一地兩檢"如何有機會違反《基本法》？
We are sure to face a series of issues next in the line including the enactment of local legislation to implement Article 23 of the Basic Law and the National Anthem Law which will restrict our freedom and also the co - location arrangement which may contravene the Basic Law . Also Members should remember how the Link REIT in the past has come to cause widespread public resentment and grievances
不過，老實說，主席，政府的問題並不是做了甚麼，最大問題是不做些甚麼，而政府不做甚麼的時候，我們這個社會便會有很多人受苦。
Honestly speaking President the problem with the Government does not lie in what it has done . Rather the biggest problem with it lies in what it has not done . And its inaction in some areas will plunge many people into plight and hardship
正如我們看看今天的貧窮率達到19.9%，接近五分之一的香港市民生活於貧窮之中。
For example as we can see today the poverty rate has reached 19.9 % . Almost one fifth of Hong Kong people live in poverty
即使經過政策介入，讓一些人得到現金援助，但仍然有14.7%的市民生活於貧窮之中。
Even after the policy intervention of giving cash assistance to some people 14.7 % of the people still live in poverty
問題是現在本身的遊戲規則下，我們的資本主義已經有利於某些階層的人，而有些人無論如何努力，也無法脫貧。
The problem is that the present operation of our capitalism under the rules of the game has come to favour just certain social strata and other people are never able to extricate themselves from poverty no matter how hard they work
它作為一個中間人，有責任調撥資源，通過政制、政策、立法和制度來改善民生。
As the modulator the Government is duty - bound to allocate resources for improving the peoples livelihood through the political system various policies the enactment of legislation and different institutions
現在不是說政府做了甚麼壞事，我們從來沒有說這個政府主動做壞事，但它不做事，已經是在做壞事，因為政府見死不救，對於民生問題視若無睹。
We are not saying that the Government has done something wrongful . We have never accused the Government of doing something wrongful on purpose . But we must say that by doing nothing and turning a blind eye to peoples suffering and livelihood difficulties it is in fact doing something very wrongful
但是，現在他們進一步收緊《議事規則》，只會令貧富懸殊加劇。
But their present attempt to tighten the Rules of Procedure will instead widen the wealth gap
香港的問題正在於財富和權力越來越集中。
The problem with Hong Kong now is the increasing concentration of wealth and power in a handful of people
在威權政治之下，我恐怕這種情況會更為嚴重。
I am afraid authoritarianism will only worsen the problem
所以，今天廖長江議員提出的修正案，全部也是企圖阻擋一些意見的聲音。
To sum up I would say all the amendments Mr Martin LIAO puts forward are attempts to obstruct the expression of opinions
我們在這個議會裏已經屬於少數，我們基本上是無權無勢的。
We are already the minority in this legislature basically having neither any power nor any influence
我們所代表的市民，大部分也是無權無勢的。
Most of the people we represent likewise have neither any power nor any influence
如果連這一點也不容許，連這些最基本的權利，甚至是少數的聲音也要打壓，其實只會引來反彈。
If they cannot even allow this if they even want to suppress this fundamental right and minority voices negative reaction will result
主席，今天這個議會的撕裂，這個議會的對抗，也反映出外面社會的對抗。
President the cleavage and confrontation in this legislature is sure to be mirrored in the wider community
我們這個議會越具針對性，越是互相仇恨，外面也會出現這種情緒。
As the animosity and hatred in this legislature intensify the same sentiments will be mirrored in the wider community
香港值得有一個更好的管治架構、香港值得有一個更好的議會，我們不應該在此再花時間和精力互相攻擊，直至把對方踩死為止，因為這樣做只會造成反彈。
Hong Kong deserves a better governance system . Hong Kong deserves a better legislature . We should not waste time and energy to attack and stamp on each other until our opponents are completely knocked down because that will only lead to negative reaction
到最後，主席，我恐怕這種反彈是建制派或現在的政府也未能預及的。
Lastly President I am afraid the intensity of the negative reaction will surprise the pro - establishment or the present Government
我不希望我們要不斷對抗，浪費生命。
I do not wish to see the continuation of incessant confrontation and waste of time
我發言，為了強烈反對廖長江議員代表建制派議員提出關於《議事規則》的各項修訂。
My speech aims to express strong objection to the various amendments to RoP proposed by Mr Martin LIAO on behalf of pro - establishment Members
"還有下一句是："立法會議事規則由立法會自行制定，但不得與本法相抵觸。
And the line which follows reads The rules of procedure of the Legislative Council shall be made by the Council on its own provided that they do not contravene this Law
" 主席，我發言，首先是反對你批准廖長江議員與建制派議員提出修訂。
President my speech first aims to raise objection to your approval for Mr Martin LIAO and pro - establishment Members to propose their amendments
我認為建制派議員的做法，其實是在扭曲概念。
In my view the proposal of pro - establishment Members is actually a defiance of the relevant concept
當然，立法會可以自行決定委員會的法定人數，包括內務委員會、各事務委員會、財務委員會的法定人數。
Of course Legislative Council may decide on its own the quorums for its committees including the quorums for the House Committee various Panels and the Finance Committee
但是，立法會可否把在審議法律建議過程中的全體委員會的法定人數，與內務委員會一樣統一為20人？
However can Legislative Council standardize the quorums for the committee of the whole Council in the course of scrutinizing legislative proposals and the House Committee to 20 Members?
即使我們有權這樣修改，但請大家不要忘記，根據《基本法》第七十五條，我們對立法會《議事規則》所作的修訂，也不得抵觸《基本法》。
Even if we are entitled to make such a change Members should not forget that under BL 75 our amendments to Legislative Councils RoP should not contravene the Basic Law
雖然我也同意《基本法》條文或《議事規則》並沒有訂明，立法會會議等同全體委員會會議。但是，大家很清楚，全體委員會會議其實與立法會會議在同一個會場進行，其委員亦是立法會全體議員，其主席亦由立法會會議的主席主持。
While I also agree that it is not stipulated in any Basic Law provisions or RoP that Council meetings are the same as meetings of the committee of the whole Council Members should be well aware that the committee of the whole Council actually holds its meetings at the same venue as Council meetings with its membership comprising all Legislative Council Members and its Chairmanship assumed by the President who presides over Council meetings
其實那是我們在履行《基本法》規定職能，在審議法案或修訂法案時的一個程序安排。
Actually it is a procedural arrangement for scrutinizing or amending bills during our performance of the functions and duties under the Basic Law
當時他們這樣做，要考慮的是甚麼？
What were their considerations for so doing back then?
當然是要考慮《基本法》。
Certainly they must take account of the Basic Law
那麼，為何經過數屆之後，我們現在的理解卻突然變得不同了呢？
In that case why does our understanding change suddenly now after the passage of several terms of office?
當然大家要回想，建制派議員現在的做法，將兩者脫鈎，在審議立法建議的過程中，將全體委員會法定的人數減低 至20人，是否合理？
Certainly Members should consider the justifiability of the present proposal put forth by pro - establishment Members to remove the link between the two and reduce the quorum for the committee of the whole Council to 20 Members in the course of scrutinizing legislative proposals
其實，審議法案是立法會的重要職能，如果主席依照會議議程來處理事項，也會先行處理法案，然後才處理一些無法律約束力的議案。
Actually scrutinizing bills is an important function and duty of Legislative Council . If the President conducts business according to the Agenda he will also first deal with bills before proceeding to motions with no legislative effect
所以，如果今天建制派成功取巧，將全體委員會的法定人數由35人下調至20人，其實大家會否發現有很不合邏輯的地方？
Therefore can Members actually notice anything illogical with the lowering of the quorum for the committee of the whole Council from 35 Members to 20 Members in case the pro - establishment camps trickery is successful today?
當議員提出口頭質詢或議案辯論，即進行無法律約束力的議案辯論時，會議的法定人數要有35人，以符合《基本法》的規定。
When Members ask oral questions or propose motion debates a quorum of 35 Members must be present at these proceedings so as to fulfil the Basic Law requirement
但當我們處理有法律效力的事項，包括修訂法例、制定新法例時，反而將法定人數的要求下降，至低於沒有法律約束力的議案辯論。
But when we handle issues with legislative effect including legislative amendments and enactment of new legislation the required quorum is instead reduced to a level which is even lower than the quorum for debates on motions with no legislative effect
在席的議員，全部都已宣誓效忠《基本法》。
All Members present here have sworn allegiance to the Basic Law
但我們竟然對最重要的立法過程，在全體委員會階段審議法案的過程，認為不是太重要的，出席議員較少也可，我認為這是違反《基本法》的。
However certain Members have nonetheless asserted that the most important legislative procedure―the procedure of scrutinizing bills during the Committee stage―is not quite so important and it is therefore alright for fewer Members to be present . In my view this will contravene the Basic Law
雖然有議員鑽空子，"借法律顧問過橋"，以為這樣做，他們便不用經常坐在會議廳內，可以躲懶，可以不參與會議，但事實上，我們無法解釋，為甚麼重要的全體委員會法定人數，竟然低於處理不太重要事項的會議。
Some Members have exploited the loophole and used the former Counsel to the Legislature as the pretext thinking that the proposal can spare them the need to sit in the Chamber all the time and enable them to slack off or be absent from certain proceedings . But actually they cannot explain why the quorum for the important procedure of the committee of the whole Council should be lower than the quorum for proceedings for dealing with matters of lower importance
所以，主席，我們強烈反對建制派這樣做。
For these reasons President we strongly oppose the proposal put forth by the pro - establishment camp
其實他們這樣做的唯一理由是懶惰，做法亦藐視和不尊重《基本法》。
Actually their proposal is based on the only reason of laziness and it also shows contempt and disrespect for the Basic Law
主席，我也想問你閣下，如果立法會通過了一些違反《基本法》的《議事規則》議案，將會有甚麼後果？
President I also wish to ask you a question . What are the consequences if Legislative Council passes certain RoP motions in contravention of the Basic Law?
我們是否願意承擔這些後果？
Are we willing to bear such consequences?
他們或會認為在全體委員會審議階段，可以偷偷到會議廳外躲懶。
Perhaps they think that during the Committee stage they may sneak out of the Chamber and slack off outside
但我告訴他們，立法會會議除了審議法律外，還有很多其他的環節，屆時一定要符合立法會會議的法定人數，他們也同樣要在席。
But I must tell them that apart from scrutinizing laws a Council meeting also comprises many other proceedings where the quorum requirement for Council meetings must be fulfilled and they must likewise be present
主席，當然你作為主席，為甚麼得不到......
President you are of course the Legislative Council President . Why do you fail to command
我想黃碧雲議員澄清，她剛才提到不出席會議、躲懶的議員，是否指她座位附近，現在完全不在席的泛民反對派議員？
When she said just now that certain lazy Members did not show up at meetings was she referring to opposition Members from the pan - democratic camp near her seat who are not present at all now?
主席，我認為你只給予議員15分鐘發言辯論，是十分不足夠的。
President I think a speaking time of merely 15 minutes granted by you to each Member in this debate is far from enough because I do not even have sufficient time to finish my discussion on the first proposed resolution alone in my present speech
我們會追究建制派議員不按照《基本法》做事，企圖修改《議事規則》，將全體委員會的法定人數下調。
We will hold pro - establishment Members responsible for their non - compliance with the Basic Law and attempt to amend RoP for the purpose of reducing the quorum for the committee of the whole Council
主席，我接下來要談一談我提出的一項《議事規則》修訂議案。
President in the following part of my speech I wish to briefly discuss my amending motion on RoP
本來我無需提出這些修訂，如果不是建制派議員提出不合理的修訂，我是無須提出修訂議案，以修訂他們的不合理修訂。
Initially I did not see any need to propose these amendments . If pro - establishment Members had not proposed their unreasonable amendments it would have been unnecessary for me to propose my amending motion to amend their unreasonable amendments
不過，我知道即使我提出修訂議案，其實也一定不能通過，因為大家也知道這個議會不是一個由民主選舉產生、公平議事的議會。
Having said that I know that actually the passage of my amending motion is definitely impossible because Members are aware that this legislature is not returned through democratic elections and is ripped of a fair platform for deliberating policies
我們一直沿用《議事規則》第20條，讓議員提出呈請書，就公眾關心的事務或政府的失職，可能是涉貪、港珠澳大橋超支和領展問題等，交付專責委員會處理。
All along we have adopted RoP 20 as the basis for Members to present petitions whereby issues of public concern or those involving dereliction of duty on the part of the Government such as its suspected involvement in bribery cost overrun relating to the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge and also problems with the Link REIT can be referred to a select committee
如有任何冤情或需要調查的事情，也可由1位議員提交呈請書，得到不少於20位議員站立支持後，便可立即交付專責委員會處理。
If a matter involves injustice or warrants an inquiry a Member may present a petition and it will be referred forthwith to a select committee after no less than 20 Members rise to their feet as a show of support
而即使有35人站立支持，呈請書也只是交往內務委員會處理。
Even if 35 Members rise to their feet to show support the petition will only be referred to the House Committee
主席，如果這樣做，其實等於把提交呈請書的權力全部收歸建制派議員所用，民主派議員以後也不能提交。
President this actually means that the power of presenting petitions will become exclusive to pro - establishment Members and democratic Members will be unable to present any petition in the future
除非我們的議會進行民主改革，扭轉如此不公平的議會制度；否則，即使再提交呈請書，其實又是交予內務委員會通過，而內務委員會也是被建制派議員壟斷。
Unless our legislature undertakes democratic reform to reverse such an unfair parliamentary system any petitions which are presented thereafter will actually be referred to the House Committee to seek its endorsement . And the House Committee is also predominated by pro - establishment Members
如果我們今次支持建制派的修訂，便會進一步削弱我們這個議會監察行政機關，或代表市民作出申訴和調查的權力。
If we support the amendments proposed by the pro - establishment camp this time around this legislatures power of monitoring the executive or voicing peoples grievances on their behalf and conducting inquiries will be further weakened
我們這樣做，是因為我們看到建制派議員把香港的議會進一步推向專政和霸權，全面削弱民主派議員的權力。
We do so because we have noticed that pro - establishment Members are pushing the Hong Kong legislature further towards dictatorship and autocracy while attempting to undermine the power of democratic Members on all fronts
這項修訂是關於《議事規則》第2條，容許議員在立法會發言時可以用手語，我稍後會詳述這項修訂的理據。
This amendment concerns RoP 2 . It seeks to allow Members to use sign language when they speak in the Legislative Council . I will later explain in detail my reasons for the amendment
另一項修訂是關於《議事規則》第51條，指明內務委員會主席須由地區直選議員擔任，有關的理據我同樣會於稍後闡釋。
The other amendment concerns RoP 51 . It seeks to specify that the chairman of the House Committee must be a Member elected from the geographical constituency . And I will also explain my reasons later
主席，我首先想說，我提出4項有關《議事規則》的修訂，其中一項是加入第86A條，以規定立法會以暢達度和共融性為優先考慮範疇，目的是讓殘障立法會議員、工作人員和公眾人士都能夠進出立法會，以及任何立法會議員不會因為其身體殘障而妨礙他們執行立法會職務。
President first of all I want to say that I have proposed four amendments to RoP one of which is to add RoP 86A to require the Legislative Council to use accessibility and inclusiveness as a priority consideration so that disabled Legislative Council Members staff members and members of the public can access the Legislative Council Complex and that no Members will be prevented from executing their Legislative Council duties due to their physical disability
主席，你表示這項修訂超出了《議事規則》的涵蓋範圍，你認為有關傷健政策屬於立法會行政管理委員會的職權範圍，這點我不同意。
President you say that this amendment falls outside the scope of RoP
對於該等政策，我有自己的政見，但我亦一如既往按照《議事規則》以立法會代理主席身份主持會議，而會議整個過程公開進行。
I may have my own political views on those policies but I have as always followed the Rules of Procedure in presiding over those meetings in my capacity as Deputy President of the Legislative Council and the whole process of the meetings are open
所以，我不會不主持會議。
So I will not stop presiding over this meeting
我沒有預算你會再回應我，不過我想提出，你參與《議事規則》的修訂，與你過去對處理法案的立場有根本上的區別，例如你有參與聯署，亦有聯合委聘外界的大律師。
I do not expect you will respond to me . But I wish to say that there is a fundamental difference in the way you participated in amending the Rules of Procedure and in the way you handled past bills . For instance you have jointly signed a statement and jointly engaged an external barrister
而且，我已就我的裁決作出說明。
Moreover I have already explained my decision
你已提出你的觀察，我亦已說明了我的另一項觀察。
You have pointed out your observation and I have also explained mine
本會當年審議政改方案時，時任代理主席對政改亦有十分鮮明的政治取向。
When this Council considered the political reform package back then the Deputy President at that time also had a strong political inclination
雖然《議事規則》沒有明文規定當你有嚴重角色衝突的時候，例如好像朱凱廸議員剛才說你在這個問題上有聘請資深大律師提供意見，關於......
What does this mean? . Although RoP does not expressly address your problem of having seriously conflicting roles such as the fact that you have engaged a senior counsel to give advice on this issue as Mr CHU Hoi - dick has just point out
這是根據第92條提出的規程問題，我希望代理主席你最低限度也應該休會處理這個問題。
I base my point of order on RoP 92 . I hope Deputy President would at least adjourn the meeting to handle this issue
由於立法會會議一向公開進行，我是否公平、公正主持會議，會受公眾監督。
Given that Legislative Council meetings are open meetings whether I act fairly and impartially when I preside over these meetings will be subject to public scrutiny
我會一如既往，繼續按照《基本法》及《議事規則》的規定，以及有關的慣例，主持立法會會議。
I will as always continue to act in accordance with the requirements of the Basic Law Rules of Procedure and the relevant standing practices when I preside over meetings of this Council
但是，郭榮鏗議員根據《議事規則》第92條提出規程問題，當中指出："如立法會主席認為適合，可參照其他立法機關的慣例及程序處理。
However Rule 92 of the Rules of Procedure under which Mr Dennis KWOK raised his point of order states that the practice and procedure to be followed in the Council shall be such as may be decided by the President who may if he thinks fit be guided by the practice and procedure of other legislatures
"如立法會主席認為我不適宜主持會議，我會接受。
If the President of the Legislative Council thinks that I am unfit for presiding over meetings I will accept his decision
所以，郭議員，如果你有此規程問題，我建議你稍後與立法會主席商討。
I thus will suggest Mr KWOK to discuss later with the President of the Legislative Council on his point of order
我現在按照《議事規則》提出規程問題。
I raised a point of order pursuant to the Rules of Procedure
如果你認為要向主席查詢應否由你繼續主持會議，那麼，你是否應該現在就去詢問呢？
If you think that you should consult the President on whether you should continue to preside over the meeting should you not do it now?
我看不到由我主持會議是不合乎規程。
I do not see I am out of order if I preside over the meeting
張超雄議員，請繼續發言。
Dr Fernando CHEUNG please continue with your speech
代理主席，我今次提出一項修訂，即第11A條，訂明立法會會議為公開會議：立法會會議須公開舉行，除《議事規則》第88條、其他《議事規則》條文或其他有關法律另有規定外。
Deputy President this time I move an amendment on adding Rule 11A of the Rules of Procedure RoP to provide that all Council meetings shall be conducted in an open manner subject to RoP 88 or otherwise as required by RoP or by law
代理主席，字面的意思清楚易明，便是要確保會議公開舉行。
Deputy President the plain meaning of my proposed amendment is rather clear and easy to understand which being to make sure that Council meetings are held in public
順帶一提，主席的決定為最終決定的意義，並不在於讓他任意妄為，而是要提醒他在作出裁決時必須小心謹慎，一失足成千古恨，但梁君彥主席完全不明白，絕對是一位"劣質"的主席。
By the way the Presidents decision shall be final but it does not mean he is empowered to act arbitrarily . On the contrary it is so written to remind him that he must exercise prudence in making rulings as any one single slip may bring lasting regret . Yet President Andrew LEUNG has totally failed to recognize this and he is definitely a President of poor quality
我想提醒梁君彥主席，他本身也是一名議員，跟其他議員平起平坐，只是碰巧他擔任主席，負責主持會議，故應當保持中立，不能因為當上主席，便可以"吹黑哨"、"打茅波"的。
I want to remind President Andrew LEUNG that he is also a Member of the Legislative Council and is on an equal footing with other Members only that he happened to be the President who is tasked to chair Council meetings . He should therefore remain neutral rather than play corrupted referee or played foul because he is the President
正因他忘了自己濫權的事實，便為所欲為，視荒謬行徑為正常，這是趨勢之一。
He does whatever things he likes and even takes weird deeds as normal precisely because he is forgetful of the fact of his abuse of power . This is one of the trend which I have noticed
第二個趨勢，是建制派越來越不尊重議會內的各種聲音，為了"保皇"和幫助政府，胡亂限制議員的發言時間和內容。
The second trend is Members of the pro - establishment camp are showing less and less respect for the different voices in this Council who would indiscriminately seek to restrain Members speaking time and speech content in a bid to protect the ruler and help the Government
當然，我們看到很多具質素的議員，例如謝偉俊議員，憑着他以無比的勇氣在中環向公眾裸露身體一事及激動時出現口吃的能力，或許會被政府視為十分重要的人才而委以一官半職也說不定。
Certainly we do find quite a lot of Members who are of good quality such as Mr Paul TSE . With his unrivalled courageous act of showing his naked body to the public in Central and his ability of stammering when getting emotional he may be regarded as a person of significant talent by the Government and finally appointed as a government official
