記得特首在參選政綱中，也曾表明會"促進地區經濟發展，包括研究在各區增設特色墟市"。
I remember that the Chief Executive stated in her election manifesto that [t]he development of district economy will be promoted for example through studies on the establishment of bazaars with special features in various districts
其實，香港在發展墟市方面仍然是有很大空間的。
In fact there is still much room for developing bazaars in Hong Kong
主席，過去3年，我在社區內也有協辦、參與和籌辦墟市的經驗。
President in the past three years I have gained some experience in assisting in organizing bazaars holding bazaars and participating in them
很多朋友也知道，我曾經在農曆新年時，於深水埗參與舉辦一個農曆新年墟市，當時亦有很多人參與。
Many of my friends knew that I once held a Lunar New Year Bazaar in Sham Shui Po in which many people participated
現時，深水埗每年也會於農曆新年舉辦兩個美食墟市，一個在楓樹街，另一個則在通州街，每年也有很多不同團體申請，漸漸下來，每年也會有超過1萬人次參與，吸引很多人流，而且兩者互不排斥。
At present two cooked food bazaars are held each year in Sham Shui Po during the Lunar New Year . One is held in Maple Street and the other in Tung Chau Street . Many organizations will apply to set up stalls each year and after these bazaars have been held for some years there are now over 10 000 visitor arrivals each year
除了協辦楓樹街美食節外，我們亦得到區議會支持舉辦其他墟市。
The bazaars attract people flow and the two bazaars are not incompatible with one another . Apart from holding the cooked food bazaar at Maple Street we have obtained support from the District Council DC to hold other bazaars too
說回楓樹街新春墟市的經驗，其實我們也希望每年會有一些改進，例如今年便增加了美食車元素，也邀請一些百年老字號的店鋪加入墟市，以及加入青年創業元素，並在今年引入有限度的明火煮食。
Speaking of my experience in the Lunar New Year Bazaar at Maple Street we really hope that some improvements can be made each year . For example this year we will introduce the element of food trucks; invite some shops with a century - long history to participate in the Bazaar; bring in start - ups by young people as well as introduce the use of naked flame to a limited extent
所以，墟市的空間其實是可以無限大的，我們亦期望今年的墟市會繼續擴大，或在九龍西其他地區舉辦更多不同類型的墟市。
There is actually a huge room for development of bazaars . We also hope that the bazaars to be held later this year will continue to expand in scale or more bazaars of a greater variety can be held in Kowloon West or other districts
過往的政策，便是由團體自行物色合適地點，並在得到社區和區議會的支持下，局方會同時幫忙拆牆鬆綁。
According to the policy in the past the organization had to identify a suitable site for holding bazaars of its own accord and with the support of the community and DC the Policy Bureau would help to cut the red tape
根據我過往的經驗，不論是與食物環境衞生署、消防處、民政事務總署或警方進行協調工作，甚至在申請牌照方面，食物及衞生局其實也有提供部分支援，亦有良好的參與。
According to my past experience the Food and Health Bureau has provided some support in coordinating various departments including the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department FEHD the Fire Services Department FSD the Home Affairs Department or the Police . The Bureau has also taken an active part in processing licence applications
深水埗部分墟市亦得到政府資助，並透過區議會支援，進行一些與墟市有關的工作。
Some bazaars in Sham Shui Po have obtained subsidies from the Government and DC also provides support for the relevant work
小組委員會建議政府就墟市發展一套全面政策，並為墟市籌辦者制訂支援措施，對此我是十分贊同的。
The Subcommittee has recommended the Government to formulate a comprehensive policy on the development of bazaars and devise support measures for bazaar organizers . I strongly agree with these recommendations
其實，不論是由下而上，或是由上而下也好，兩者也是可以並行，可以不斷發揮的。
In fact a bottom - up policy and a top - down policy can be implemented in parallel and developed steadily
主席，香港一直也存在不同市集，很多均以open market為形式和定義，不論是旺角女人街、佐敦廟街、榕樹頭及深水埗很多的排檔等，其實這些也屬於市集。
President different kinds of bazaars have all along existed in Hong Kong many of which are operated in the form of or come under the definition of an open market . The Ladies Market in Mong Kok Temple Street in Jordon the Banyan tree and the stalls in Sham Shui Po are bazaars too
很多時候，當我們提到台灣有很多市集引申成為旅遊觀光點時，我個人認為大家不要忘記也不要妄自菲薄我們的特色街道和特色墟市，其實也是做得很成功的。
When we mention that many bazaars in Taiwan have become tourist attractions we should not forget that many streets and bazaars with special features in Hong Kong are also very successful and we should not belittle our success
無論女人街也好、廟街也好、榕樹頭也好，它們也富有香港特色，亦在推動本土經濟上擔當一定角色。
The Ladies Market Temple Street and the Banyan tree display the characteristics of Hong Kong and they play a certain role in promoting the development of the local economy
至於定期或短期墟市，例如每逢假日及星期六日才舉行的墟市，香港其實也累積了不少民間經驗。
In fact Hong Kong has accumulated some experience in holding regular or short - term bazaars in the community such as those held during the holidays and weekends
當局應該制訂一套政策和指引，同時要讓區議會及地區人士有所參與。
The authorities should formulate a set of policies and guidelines and let DC representatives and the communities participate in the process
根據我們過往的經驗，現時香港的申請者須自行提交計劃書，究竟應寫多一些還是寫少一些資料或如何擬備等，對很多基層 或NGO而言是未必懂得怎樣做的。
We knew from our past experience that applicants for holding bazaars in Hong Kong have to submit their own plans . Many grass - roots people or non - governmental organizations may not know what information should be included in their plans or how to prepare their plans
所以，如果你問我，我認為應該制訂一套舉辦墟市的標準化程序指引，讓不同申請者也可以較容易地提出申請，各部門最好也提供一條龍的申請臨時牌照服務，包括向康樂及文化事務署、房屋署、食環署和消防處申請等，因為很多有心人其實也是未必認識相關程序的。
I think the Government should formulate a set of standardized procedures and guidelines for holding bazaars so as to facilitate different kinds of applicants in making their applications . It will also be best if various government departments including the Leisure and Cultural Services Department the Housing Department FEHD and FSD etc . can provide one - stop service to process applications for temporary licences
特首在去年公布會於舊機場跑道末端挑選一個位置作為非牟利機構的周末市集。
Many people who really want to hold bazaars may not know the relevant procedures . The Chief Executive announced last year that a site will be chosen at the end of the runway at the former airport to hold a weekend flea market
這種倒過來由上而下的形式，我覺得是有很大發展空間的，亦希望它可以成為假日市場的典範。
This top - down approach will provide much room for developing bazaars and I hope that such a market will become a prototype of holiday bazaars
暑假將至，其實很多空置校舍和土地是否也可用作夏日墟市？
As the summer holidays are approaching many school buildings and sites will become vacant . Can they be used for holding summer markets?
當中其實是有很大空間的。
There is much room for development in these places
主席，要成功辦好一個墟市，必須得到地區和區議會的支持，這一點十分重要。
President it is important to note that success in holding a bazaar requires the support of the community and DC
我個人期望墟市政策可以繼續積極推動，政府也要更多聆聽市民和民間的聲音。
I hope that we can continue to actively promote the development of a policy on bazaars . The Government should also listen more to the voices of the people and the community
代理主席，我今天發言支持鄭松泰議員根據《立法會條例》動議的議案，以追究有關沙田至中環線工程失誤及隱瞞的問題。
Deputy President today I speak in support of the motion moved by Dr CHENG Chung - tai under the Legislative Council Ordinance to pursue the blunders and concealment relating to the Shatin to Central Link SCL project
今天早上我聆聽了多位建制派議員的發言。
This morning I have been listening to the speeches made by a number of Members of the pro - established camp
先有高鐵超支，後來延伸到現在的沙中線超支及工程質素等問題。整個問題本身不在於一兩件事件，而是牽涉到一鐵獨大之下，香港鐵路有限公司管理鐵路工程的心態和文化。
From the cost overruns of XRL to the cost overruns and substandard construction works of SCL it can be seen that the problem is not confined to one or two incidents but is related to the mentality and culture of the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL in the management of railway projects under the hegemony of one railway company
更重要的是，每當有這類大型工程施工，政府路政署都會成立監管隊伍。
More importantly the Highways Department HyD will establish supervisory teams for all major construction works
這組監管隊伍在監管過程中扮演甚麼角色？
What is the role played by such supervisory teams during the monitoring process?
前局長張炳良被問到高鐵超支延誤時表示："我對這個消息感到震驚"；而現任局長陳帆則表示："我的消息是來自新聞報道，我掌握不到第一手消息"。
In response to a question on the cost overruns and delays of XRL former Secretary Anthony CHEUNG said I was shocked by the news; whereas the incumbent Secretary Frank CHAN said I learnt about the incident from news reports as I do not have first - hand news
如他們所說屬實，問題本身正正在於整個鐵路建設的管理制度及特區政府的監管制度，涉及監管能力的問題。
If what they said is true the problem is precisely related to the management system of the entire railway project and the monitoring system of the SAR Government which is a matter of supervisory ability
大家試想一下，目前討論的紅磡站工程出了甚麼問題？
Let us think about what has gone wrong with the construction of Hung Hom Station currently under discussion
當然，最實在的做法，自然就是由禮頓建築有限公司監工和港鐵公司監督負責簽署，核實螺絲帽合乎工程需要及可以與鋼筋接駁。
Of course the most pragmatic approach is to require the Works Supervisor of the Leighton Contractor Asia Limited and the Inspector of Works of MTRCL to sign and confirm that the couplers are suitable for the construction works and connect well with steel bars
如檢查有任何遺漏的話，必然會影響後續的工作。
Should there be any omission the procedures that follow will surely be affected
說也奇怪，根據港鐵公司提供的資料，在2015年8月份首次有問題時已作出糾正，隨後又作另一次糾正。
Oddly according to the information provided by MTRCL rectification was made when problems were detected for the first time in August 2015 and then followed by another rectification
這句說話出自今天剛成為工程師學會會長的黃唯銘先生口中。
This remark was made by Dr Philco WONG who just took up the post as the President of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers today
如果他說的是實情的話，這種文化必須糾正。
If what he said is true this kind of culture must be corrected
如果我們未有進一步探究這種做法及沙中線所揭示的工程管理文化，作為立法會議員，我們是難辭其咎及失職的。
As Legislative Council Members we can hardly absolve ourselves of the blame and it is a dereliction of duty on our part for failing to further examine the current practices and the management culture revealed by the SCL project
事實上，問題已經彰顯出來，如我們以各種理由掩飾，根本就是說不通的，這是第一點。
As a matter of fact the problem has been exposed and it is utterly inappropriate for us to cover it up with various excuses . This is the first point
我心存很大的疑問。
I have serious doubts about this
我請問局長，何謂科學化的態度？
May I ask the Secretary what is meant by a scientific attitude?
這些日常維修的事宜，管理層必須正視。
The management must face up to these day - to - day maintenance matters
否則，豈不是令沙中線的乘客每天也擔驚受怕？
If not will SCL passengers be left in a state of anxiety every day?
這是絕對不能接受的。
This is absolutely unacceptable
特區政府對事件有何回應？
What is the response of the SAR Government to the incident?
然而，為了重建特區政府的公信力，重複作供可能只是微不足道的成本。
However in order to restore the credibility of the SAR Government the cost of testifying repeatedly is probably negligible
主席，沙田至中環線的工程失誤連環爆，質量安全絕對不可以妥協。
President a series of faulty construction works of the Shatin to Central Link SCL has reminded us that quality and safety must never be compromised
香港鐵路有限公司沙中線的工程已經延誤，大圍至紅磡段要待明年年中才可以通車，紅磡至金鐘段大概要於2021年才通車。
The SCL project of the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL has already been delayed as Tai Wai to Hung Hom Section will be commissioned only in the middle of next year ie . 2019 and Hung Hom to Admiralty Section will be commissioned in around 2021
另一方面，沙中線每公里的工程 成本一點也不便宜，17公里線路每一公里耗資51億元，現在交這樣的功課，大家也不可以接受。
On the other hand the construction cost per km of SCL is not inexpensive at all as every kilometre of this 17 - km railway costs some 5.1 billion . The work accomplished is unacceptable to all of us
我最關心九龍西區的市民，住在九龍城、土瓜灣、紅磡一帶的居民由2013年開始等待沙中線，真的是等了又等。
I am most concerned about residents in Kowloon West . Residents of Kowloon City To Kwa Wan and Hung Hom have been waiting for SCL since 2013 . They have really been waiting and waiting
局長，現在真的不可再拖延，希望可以盡快解決問題。
Secretary the project really cannot be further delayed and we hope the problems can be resolved as soon as possible
工程如期施工十分重要，但質量安全是重中之重，絕對不能妥協。
While it is very important to complete the works as scheduled quality and safety are the top priorities which cannot be compromised
就沙中線工程連番出現施工失誤，我十分贊成特首決定成立由法官率領的獨立調查委員會，展開一個完整、獨立及具公信力的調查。
In response to the series of faulty construction works of the SCL project I fully endorse the decision of the Chief Executive to set up an independent judge - led commission of inquiry to conduct a comprehensive independent and credible investigation
從這份報告可見，政府當局是以4個字來涵蓋 整項政策的方向，也就是"由下而上"。
It can be seen from this Report that the Governments policy on bazaar can be summed up in two words ie . a bottom - up approach
這根本並不符合墟市政策的邏輯。
This is inconsistent with the logic of the bazaar policy
我在很多不同的場合也說過，墟市政策的本質是甚麼？
I have talked about the essence of the bazaar policy on many different occasions
如果我們說是要將它變成一個小販認可區，大家自然要考慮很多不同的問題。
If we want to turn bazaars into hawker permitted areas we naturally have to consider various issues
但是，當看完整份報告後，大家都會知道當中並不是說這個概念，而是說在適當的時空內為有興趣成為小商販的朋友提供空間。
However after reading the whole Report we know that another concept is stated . According to the Report space should be provided at the appropriate time to those who are interested to become small traders
無論是台灣或外國的經驗，所說的都是在特定時空內提供空間，讓任何有興趣從事商販或一些小買賣的朋友進入場地經營。
In Taiwan or foreign countries the concept is to provide venues at specific time for those who are interested to do business or small trading
因此，場地管理本身便是來自場地提供者，並非只是找一間機構來管理。
Hence the venue should be managed by the venue providers but not by some designated organizations
我想對局長說，找機構管理這概念正正反映官僚的思維，因為政府不敢負責。
I would like to tell the Secretary the concept of designating an organization for management precisely reflects the Governments bureaucratic thinking because it does not have to bear responsibilities
所以，我要對他說，剛才有同事說香港工會聯合會把騰龍墟辦得很成功，但他是否知道它後來找了遊樂場協會營運騰龍墟呢？
I would also like to tell him some colleagues mentioned earlier that the Wong Tai Sin Dragon Market was successfully organized by The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions
"墟期"這做法便可以找到空間來取得平衡，因為在這段時間內，進行康樂活動的朋友基本上會較少，場地使用率也較低，如果把這段時間劃為"墟期"，便可以有效善用場地資源。
Under this approach a balance can be struck because basically fewer people will engage in recreational activities during this period and the venue usage rate is low . If this time slot is designated as the bazaar period we will be able to effectively utilize venue resources
當局又擔心，如果商販售賣熟食，會涉及很複雜的牌照申請程序。
Yet the authorities are worried that if the traders sell cooked food very complicated licence application procedures will be involved
因此，特區政府或在文件上花了很多心力的食物及衞生局有否認真想過，究竟小販、墟市、墟期實質上的形態是甚麼一回事？
Has the SAR Government or the Food and Health Bureau which has made a lot of effort in preparing the document seriously considered the essence of hawkers bazaars and the bazaar period
我的觀察是，政府所期望的，正如張超雄議員所說，便是由一個有效的經營者去管理一個由政府提供的場地。
According to my observation and as pointed out by Dr Fernando CHEUNG the Government expects an effective operator to manage the government venues
主席，從另一個角度來看，對於由下而上這政策，如果不是採用臨時或短期的概念來做，便必然會碰到各種矛盾，包括與同區類似店鋪出現競爭的問題。
President viewing from another perspective if the bottom - up policy is not based on the concepts of temporary or short - term operation there will inevitably be various contradictions including competition against similar shops in the same district
香港鐵路有限公司沙中線紅磡站月台被揭發鋼筋和螺絲頭被剪斷事件，令社會震驚。
The revelation of the cutting of steel bars at a platform of Hung Hom Station of the Shatin to Central Link SCL of the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL came as a shock to the community
隨着揭發時間越來越長，事件變得越來越複雜，撲朔迷離。
As more and more time has passed since the incident came to light the incident has become increasingly complicated and mystifying
社會各界希望知道，為何港鐵公司曾進行這麼多工程，歷史如此悠久，仍然會犯這種錯誤，仍然會有這些問題。
All sectors of the community want to know why MTRCL having carried out so many construction projects in its long history still made such mistakes and ran into such problems
為何港鐵公司要隱瞞相關工程出現問題？
Why did MTRCL conceal the construction problems?
是否有港鐵公司甚或政府的高層需要負上責任？
Does any senior officer of MTRCL or even the Government have to take the blame?
工程監管制度有否出現問題，令港鐵公司可以隱瞞相關工程問題？
Does the construction monitoring system have any problem which made it possible for MTRCL to conceal the construction problems?
雖然要求調查港鐵公司和政府部門之聲不絕於耳，但一說到應由誰來調查，一些大罵港鐵公司和政府監管不力的建制派議員便立刻噤聲，然後說無須由立法會調查，應由政府獨立調查。
Despite incessant calls for an investigation into MTRCL and the relevant government departments when the question of who should undertake the investigation was raised some pro - establishment Members who have been chiding MTRCL and the Government for being lax in monitoring immediately clammed up and said that the Legislative Council should not conduct an investigation as an independent inquiry should be conducted by the Government
我會先分析只由政府成立獨立調查委員會的不足之處，然後再談談由立法會成立專責委員會如何可彌補政府獨立調查委員會的不足，以證明立法會必須成立專責委員會調查今次事件。
First of all I will analyse the shortcomings of only having an independent Commission of Inquiry set up by the Government and then I will proceed to talk about how a select committee set up by the Legislative Council can make up for the shortcomings of the Governments independent Commission of Inquiry so as to prove the point that the Legislative Council must set up a select committee to inquire into this incident
政府過去也曾就多宗事件展開由法官領導的獨立調查。
Previously the Government had launched independent judge - led inquiries into a number of incidents
在2014年，政府曾就高鐵工程延誤及超支事件進行獨立調查，更委任專家小組進行調查。
In 2014 the Government conducted an independent inquiry into the delay and cost overrun of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL project and appointed an expert panel to look into the issue
然而，即使由政府進行獨立調查，由現時同樣領導沙中線紅磡站獨立調查委員會的夏正民法官領導調查，並發表報告批評港鐵公司在高鐵施工期間連環出現多宗管理問題，以及批評路政署監督不力，但至今仍未能防止港鐵公司的工程出現嚴重問題。
However even though the Government conducted the independent inquiry led by Mr Justice Michael John HARTMANN and published a report criticizing a spate of management problems of MTRCL that occurred during the construction of XRL and the lax supervision by the Highways Department HyD to this day it still fails to prevent serious problems from arising in the construction projects of MTRCL
為何在高鐵調查報告發表後，仍然會出現我們今天討論的沙中線紅磡站工程問題？
How come the SCL Hung Hom Station construction problem that we discuss today still arose after the XRL investigation report was published?
這其實可歸因於政府獨立調查委員會的先天缺陷，以及政府與港鐵公司的不尋常關係。
Actually this is attributable to the inherent flaws in the Governments independent Commission of Inquiry and the unusual relationship between the Government and MTRCL
今次獨立調查委員會調查的對象，是由政府持有75%股權的上市公司港鐵公司。
The subject of inquiry by the independent Commission of Inquiry this time is MTRCL a listed company in which the Government has a 75 % stake
鑒於政府持有這麼多股權，而運輸及房屋局局長更是港鐵公司其中一位當然董事，政府和港鐵公司關係密切。
Given such a large stake held by the Government and that the Secretary for Transport and Housing is even one of the ex - officio directors of MTRCL the Government and MTRCL have a close relationship
雖然這個獨立調查委員會由法官主持，但其職權範圍並不是由法官決定，而是由行政長官會同行政會議決定。
Although this independent Commission of Inquiry is to be chaired by a judge its terms of reference will be determined not by the judge but by the Chief Executive in Council
政府大可以為了保護港鐵公司高層，透過訂定該委員會的職權範圍，防止它向政府高層問責。
In prescribing the terms of reference for the Commission the Government can prevent the Commission from holding senior government officials accountable so as to protect MTRCLs senior officers
事實上，林鄭月娥在6月12日會見記者時表示，獨立調查委員會要找出紅磡站月台鋼筋施工問題的原因和受影響範圍，並檢討港鐵公司的工程監管制度，以及政府監管及規管鐵路工程的機制，從而提出建議，保障工程質素和安全。
In fact Carrie LAM indicated at a media session on 12 June that the independent Commission of Inquiry would ascertain the cause and extent of the problem with the steel reinforcement fixing works at the platform of Hung Hom Station and review MTRCLs construction monitoring system as well as the Governments mechanism for monitoring and regulating railway projects with a view to making recommendations for ensuring construction quality and safety
如果這真的成為獨立調查委員會的職權範圍，便代表獨立調查委員會不會調查更深層次的問題，即政府和港鐵公司高層在工程中的責任問題。
If these really become the terms of reference for the independent Commission of Inquiry it means that the Commission will not look into the deeper issue of accountability of the senior officers of the Government and MTRCL for the construction works
因此，由與港鐵公司有密切關係的政府成立獨立調查委員會，並決定該委員會的職權範圍，是十分危險和荒謬的做法。
For this reason it is utterly dangerous and ridiculous for the Government which is closely related to MTRCL to set up the independent Commission of Inquiry and determine its terms of reference
事實上，根據過往經驗，政府即使進行獨立調查，也不會調查高層的責任問題。
In fact past experience showed that even if the Government launched an independent inquiry it would not look into the issue of accountability of senior officers
以鉛水事件為例，雖然政府成立的調查委員會批評水務署、香港房屋委員會、承建商、水管工程分判商及持牌水喉匠失職，但最終受到懲罰的只有承建商和水管工程分判商。
For example although the Governments Commission of Inquiry into the lead - in - water incident criticized the Water Supplies Department the Hong Kong Housing Authority the contractors the plumbing subcontractors and the licensed plumbers for dereliction of duty only the contractors and the plumbing subcontractors were punished in the end
在高鐵超支事件中，路政署署長和運輸及房屋局局長均無須就事件負上任何政治責任。
As for the XRL cost overrun debacle neither the Director of Highways nor the Secretary for Transport and Housing was held politically accountable
因此，我得出的結論是，如果單由政府成立的調查委員會處理有關事宜，結果只會是刑不上署長，刑不上法定機構或上市公司的主席，更刑不上局長。
Therefore my conclusion is that if the matter in question is merely dealt with by a Commission of Inquiry set up by the Government it will only result in no punishment being meted out to the Director the Chairman of the statutory body or listed company concerned or the Secretary
由此可見，過往政府的獨立調查委員會均無法處理高層的責任問題，結果令政府的內部運作和監管仍然存在種種問題，而這些問題可能會在今天、明天和後天繼續出現。
It is clear that no independent Commission of Inquiry set up by the Government in the past could address the issue of accountability of senior officers and as consequently the Governments internal operation and monitoring systems are still riddled with problems which may continue to surface today tomorrow and the day after tomorrow
這亦解釋了為何政府花費大量公帑調查高鐵超支後，港鐵公司、路政署和運輸及房屋局仍然疏於監管沙中線工程，最終出現了紅磡站月台多條鋼筋和螺絲頭被剪斷的事件。
This also explains why after the Government had spent a substantial amount of public money on the inquiry into the XRL cost overrun debacle MTRCL HyD and the Transport and Housing Bureau were still lax in monitoring the SCL project and eventually a large number of steel bars were cut at the platform of Hung Hom Station
根據上述分析，儘管政府已成立獨立調查委員會，但政府與港鐵公司的特殊關係，卻令該委員會的職權範圍出現局限，以致它可能不會調查和追究港鐵公司和運輸及房屋局高層的責任。
According to the above analysis despite the Governments establishment of the independent Commission of Inquiry the peculiar relationship between the Government and MTRCL will cause the Commissions terms of reference to be limited to such an extent that it may not look into and pursue the accountability of the senior officers of MTRCL and the Transport and Housing Bureau
若不追究管理層的責任，紅磡站工程的同類問題將會不斷發生其實現正不斷在其他車站發生，只是不知何時會被揭發悲劇將會不斷重演，港鐵公司將會保持一貫態度，繼續遮掩隱瞞工程問題。
If the senior management is not held accountable construction problems similar to that of Hung Hom Station will continue to arise―actually they are constantly arising at other stations; we just do not know when they will be revealed―and tragedies will continue to recur as MTRCL will maintain the same attitude and continue to gloss over and cover up construction problems
因此，我認為只有透過立法會成立專責委員會，才可以更透明、獨立和認真地調查紅磡站工程問題並追究責任。
So in my view only through the establishment of a select committee by the Legislative Council can we inquire into the Hung Hom Station construction problem and pursue accountability in a more transparent independent and serious manner
首先，立法會的專責委員會有權調查議員想要調查的事件。
Firstly a select committee set up by the Legislative Council has the power to investigate any incident that Members want to investigate
立法會的專責委員會絕對可根據《條例》傳召政府官員和港鐵公司高層到立法會作供，並可指令相關部門和港鐵公司公開文件。
It can definitely invoke the Ordinance to summon government officials and MTRCLs senior officers to testify in the Legislative Council and direct relevant departments and MTRCL to make public relevant documents
因此，其權力與政府的獨立調查委員會不相伯仲。
Thus its power is comparable to that of the Governments independent Commission of Inquiry
其次，立法會的專責委員會可以更獨立地調查沙中線紅磡站工程問題。
Secondly a select committee set up by the Legislative Council can inquire into the SCL Hung Hom station construction problem in a more independent manner
由於本會與港鐵公司沒有甚麼關係，所以可以在制訂職權範圍和進行調查時，以較獨立的態度進行相關工作。
As this Council has no particular relationship with MTRCL this Council can act more independently when formulating the terms of reference for the select committee and conducting the inquiry
大家應該記得，整件事之所以曝光，是因為有告密者向傳媒告密。
Members should remember that the incident came to light because the whistle - blower informed the media about it
為何告密者不向政府和陳帆告密，而向傳媒告密呢？
How come the whistle - blower did not inform the Government and Frank CHAN but informed the media?
我認為原因很可能是告密者不信任政府，認為政府與港鐵公司蛇鼠一窩，互相隱瞞，互相包庇。
I think this was probably because the whistle - blower did not trust the Government and considered that the Government and MTRCL were in cahoots with each other and would cover for and shield each other
