既然香港在大灣區內最重要的固有優勢是金融和保險業務，透過擴大香港和內地居民機構進行跨境投資或保險業務，可以帶動整個大灣區的實體經濟發展。
Since Hong Kongs most important inherent edge in the Greater Bay Area is its financial and insurance operations through the expansion of cross - boundary investments and insurance operations between Hong Kong and Mainland peoples and organizations it will foster the development of the real economy of the entire Greater Bay Area including Hong Kong
《規劃綱要》提到，推動內地與香港、澳門保險機構開展跨境人民幣再保險業務、支持粵港澳保險機構合作開發創新型的跨境機動車保險和跨境醫療保險產品，並探索建設國際航運保險產品等創新型保險交易平台。
The Plan also talks about encouraging insurance companies in the Mainland to join hands with Hong Kong and Macao insurance companies to engage in cross - boundary Renminbi reinsurance operations supporting insurance organizations in the three places to work together in the development of innovative cross - boundary insurance products such as those for motor vehicles and health and exploring the establishment of a trading platform for innovative insurance products such as those for international maritime services
最重要的一點，便是最近大家開始提出有關跨境保險產品可以在大灣區為客戶提供理賠和售後服務的建議。
Most importantly some have proposed to provide claims processing and policy servicing for holders of cross - boundary insurance products in the Greater Bay Area
他們最希望由售後服務開始，往後逐步推進至香港的保險產品可以在大灣區內銷售。
They wish to start from the provision of policy servicing and gradually work towards the sale of Hong Kong insurance products in the Greater Bay Area
較早前，我亦在立法會財務委員會特別會議上提出質詢，局長當時給予一個明確的答覆，表示如推行先行先試，會先以機動車保險和醫療產品保險，作為最先有機會在大灣區落實所謂售後服務或理賠安排的對象。
Earlier on I also asked a question at the special meeting of the Finance Committee and the Secretary gave us a clear answer that if pilot implementation was adopted the insurance products for motor vehicles and health would be the first products to get the chance to provide policy servicing and claims processing arrangements in the Greater Bay Area
我慶幸得知特區政府已採取一些行動及進行規劃，但希望特區政府可以告訴我們，未來有何進一步、更明確的步驟，以協助推動業界把"餅"造大。
I am glad to learn that the SAR Government has taken steps to conduct planning on it and we hope that the SAR Government will tell us what further and more specific steps will be taken to facilitate the industrys work in making a bigger pie
主席，我藉此機會談談我對香港面對中美貿易摩擦的意見。
President I wish to take this opportunity to express my views about Hong Kongs position amid the trade conflicts between China and the United States
民建聯過去曾促請政府，協助中小企渡過難關。
DAB has urged the Government to help small and medium enterprises SMEs to tide over the difficulties
雖然本年度預算案提出了若干措施，不過都屬於"新瓶舊酒"。
Although this years Budget puts forward a number of measures but they are all old wine in a new bottle
面對世界經濟的新格局、我剛才提到的中美貿易摩擦，以及經濟下行風險，我希望政府能進一步增加對中小企的支援，特別是引領中小企一同開拓大灣區市場，迎接新的業務機遇。
In the face of a new global economic landscape the above mentioned trade conflicts between China and the United States as well as the risks of economic downturn I hope that the Government will step up the support for SMEs further in particular by giving SMEs guidance in exploring the market in the Greater Bay Area and taking advantage of the new opportunities available
我們過去曾指出，希望政府能恢復特別信貸保證計劃，幫助中小企渡過難關。
We have pointed out in the past our hope that the Government would reinstate the Scheme to help SMEs tide over the difficulties
對於保障消費者權益的安排，特區政府最近宣布有意設立法定冷靜期。
Concerning the protection of consumers rights and interests the SAR Government has recently announced the intention to legislate for a cooling - off period
例如我曾多次表達意見，指香港海關負責執法處理不良營商手法的編制，過去3年也維持在190人，人手未曾增加。
For example I have repeatedly pointed out that the number of staff the Customs and Excise Department CED in charge of handling unfair trade practices had not been increased and remained at 190 in the past three years
然而，面對越來越複雜的環境，投訴不良營商手法的個案越來越多，調查亦不容易。我們一直希望政府能增加海關人手，處理這方面的工作。
In the face of an increasingly complicated environment with an ever - increasing number of complaints about unfair trade practices coupled with the difficulties in investigation we have always hoped that the Government will increase the number of CED staff who handle the work in this respect
因應不良營商手法的運用，以及越來越多案件利用層出不窮、越來越 複雜的手法以逃避調查及脫罪，政府應適時對人手作出調整。
In face of an increasing number of cases in which increasingly complicated tactics are employed to evade investigation and prosecution the Government should adjust its manpower promptly
隨着情況發展，我相信40人可能未必足夠，希望司長日後在增加人手、增撥資源方面可以較為寬鬆。
As time passes I believe that 40 additional staff may not be enough and I hope that the Secretary will be more generous in increasing the manpower and resources for tackling this problem in the future
我要提出的另一點，我過去一直指出，香港現時仍未設有消費者集體訴訟機制。
Another point I wish to bring up is as I have always said that Hong Kong lacks a class action mechanism for consumers
主席，我強調，我說的是消費者集體訴訟機制，而非全面集體訴訟機制。
President I stress that I am talking about a class action mechanism for consumers not a comprehensive class action regime
我說的消費者集體訴訟是保障消費者的其中一種渠道。
This mechanism is one way to protect consumers
然而，很可惜，我希望律政司司長有機會聽到我的意見。
However it is a pity . I hope that the Secretary for Justice has the chance to listen to my views
法律改革委員會過去已就消費者集體訴訟召開20多次會議，但目前還未能向我們交代有關進展，我認為這種遙遙無期的處理方式絕對不能接受。
The Law Reform Commission has held over 20 meetings to discuss class action for consumers but it has yet to inform us of the progress made and I find it unacceptable that there is no specific date on which a decision can be made
因此，我希望政府當局聆聽我們的意見，盡快向我們作出交代。
Hence I hope that the Government will listen to our views and give us an answer as soon as possible
經召開20多次會議後，究竟消費者集體訴訟何去何從？
After more than 20 meeting what is going to happen to the class action mechanism for consumers?
我們希望可以得到一個清晰的了解。
We hope that we can have a clear understanding of all these
主席，我最後想指出，就今年度的預算案，我在財務委員會特別會議問及關於各級法院使用屏障保護性罪行案件受害人或證人的情況。
President I would like to point out lastly that at the special meeting of the Finance Committee concerning this years Budget I asked a specific question about the use of screens to shield the victims or witnesses of sexual offences
我們希望重申，在性罪行案件中作供時使用屏障是要保障證人及受害人，這種安排為受害人或證人作供時提供保障。
We want to reiterate that shielding the witnesses and victims of sexual offences aims to protect them when they give testimony
我認為司法機構有責任多作解說，鼓勵案中受害人及證人多加使用屏障自我保護。
I think that the Judiciary is obligated to explain more and encourage the victims and witnesses of the cases to protect themselves by requesting to be shielded behind screens
政府應透過公眾教育及司法機制本身多做解說，鼓勵屏障的使用，以進一步保障就性罪行作供的受害人或證人。
The Government should give more explanation through public education and the judicial system should encourage the victims and witnesses of sexual offences to use screens to further protect themselves when they give testimony
今年是我第二次參與財政預算案辯論，這亦是現屆政府的第二份預算案。
This is the second time I take part in a budget debate and likewise it is the second Budget of the current - term Government
與去年不同的是，今年財政司司長在宣讀預算案演辭時，煞有介事地用甚富詩意的語調，敘述他對香港未來一年的經濟展望。
Unlike last year the Financial Secretary has in this years budget speech used a very poetic tone in all seriousness to describe his economic outlook for Hong Kong in the coming year . He said Every cloud has a silver lining
他說："即使烏雲密布，背後仍是耀眼陽光；那怕山重水複，也無礙我們對香港前景的信心"。
Even though we are not out of the woods yet we have every confidence in our future
我不知道司長這種盲目樂觀是從何而來？
I wonder from where the Financial Secretary has got this blind optimism
也許他背後的"耀眼陽光"是北方的紅太陽，但政府越是盲目樂觀，我便越是悲觀。
Perhaps the silver lining behind him is the red sun in the north but the more blindly optimistic the Government becomes the more pessimistic I am
財政司司長在演辭中，大費周章地分析環球政經局勢，談論中美貿易戰如何惡化及環球貿易及經濟如何轉變等，認為"需要保持清醒靈活，尋找香港的獨特定位"。
In his speech the Financial Secretary has gone to great lengths to analyse the global political and economic situation discuss how the trade war between China and the United States has deteriorated and how world trade and economy have changed . He held that we should maintain a clear and flexible mind identifying the unique positioning of Hong Kong grasping the opportunities leveraging on and giving full play to our strengths
但是，財政司司長，面對新的政經局勢，究竟整個政府有何想法及做法？
However Financial Secretary in the face of the new norm of global politics and economies what does the entire Government think and what action will it take?
隨着去年中美貿易衝突升溫，無論香港在經濟貿易上的整體地位或是在中美之間的自處，都成為全球十分關心的議題。
As the trade conflicts between China and the United States escalated last year Hong Kongs global position in commerce and trade or what it should do when being caught between China and the United States has become an issue of great global concern
英美政府在多份委員會報告中多次質疑香港的地位，包括能否實踐高度自治，甚至警告有可能因而取消對香港的特別待遇。
Both the British and American Governments have repeatedly raised queries on the status of Hong Kong in a number of committee reports including the possibility of realizing a high degree of autonomy and there are even warnings of the possible removal of the special treatment enjoyed by Hong Kong
中美貿易戰似乎暫時告一段落，雖然香港表面上是安然渡過，但政府在整個過程中，特別是這份預算案，就世界各地提出的質疑作過多少次回應呢？
It seems that the trade war between China and the United States is over for the time being and Hong Kong has ostensibly escaped unscathed but how many times has the Government responded to the queries raised by the rest of the world during the course and in particular in this Budget?
過去一年，政府完全無視世界各國對於香港獨特社會地位的關注，而英美政府的委員會報告對"一國兩制"提出質疑，政府亦從未作出正面回應，只是不斷重複"'一國兩制'行之有效"這8個字。
Over the past year the Government has completely ignored the concerns expressed by the rest of the world about the unique social status of Hong Kong and has never directly responded to the queries raised by the British and American Governments in their committee reports regarding one country two systems . Instead it simply repeated that the implementation of one country two systems has been effective
在聯合國的定期審議會議上，面對世界各國對香港社會的關注，政府一概否認，甚至在聯合國討論人權問題時，談論"一帶一路"及大灣區。
At the meetings of the Universal Periodic Review of the United Nations the Government denied all the concerns expressed by the rest of the world about Hong Kongs society and had even talked about the Belt and Road Initiative and the Greater Bay Area when the United Nations discussed the human rights issues
在這種政經局勢下，政府所謂的"靈活變通"，就是繼續推動大灣區的發展。
Under such a political and economic situation the Governments so - called flexible mind is to keep promoting the development of the Greater Bay Area
這不止是為中共在環球政治經濟的願景工程服務，甚至不惜香港被規劃也要主動將香港納入大灣區規劃，而最好的例子，莫過於政府不斷渲染大灣區的創科發展。
This has not only served to realize the vision project of the Communist Party of China on global political and economic development but has also proactively included Hong Kong into the planning of the Greater Bay Area . The best example is that the Government has been continuously exaggerating the development of innovation and technology in the Greater Bay Area
在這份預算案中，由於林鄭月娥指大灣區有望成為東方矽谷，於是預算案預留了大量資源發展港深創新及科技園。
In this Budget in response to Carrie LAMs remarks that the Greater Bay Area has the potential to become the Silicon Valley of the East a considerable amount of resources have been set aside for the development of the Hong Kong - Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park
政府不但要發展本地的創科產業，更要與大灣區聯合發展人才互通，將香港的創科發展甚至整個城市的規劃全部納入大陸的發展計劃，這自然引起世界各國的關注及警惕。
The Government does not seek to develop the local innovation and technology industry but join hands with the Greater Bay Area to encourage the flow of talents thereby bringing the development of Hong Kongs innovation and technology as well as the planning of the entire city into the development plans of the Mainland . This has naturally aroused the concern and vigilance of different countries in the world
在最近兩星期，美國多間高等學府聯手打擊華為、中興等中資科技公司，香港亦成為被打擊對象。
Over the past two weeks a number of higher education institutions in the United States have joined hands to clamp down on Chinese - funded technology companies such as Huawei and ZTE and Hong Kong has become the target as well
麻省理工學院宣布，將會針對香港在內的4個地區，加強合作項目的審核，更會特別考慮相關地區的數據安全、行業競爭等範圍。
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced that it would ramp up its screening process for collaboration proposals from four regions including Hong Kong and special attention would be paid to areas such as data security and industry competitiveness
這正好反映政府讓香港過分依賴大陸市場，便會直接錯失西方世界帶來的機遇。
This precisely reflects that the Governments heavy reliance on the Mainland market would directly result in the loss of opportunities presented by the Western world
政府所說的尋找獨特定位，似乎是將香港能夠游走於世界各國社會之間的獨特定位白白丟棄。
It seems that the Governments claim to identify the unique positioning of Hong Kong is to abandon our unique positioning in associating with different societies in the world
今年的預算案還有一個很好的例子，就是發展數碼港第五期。
There is another very good example in this years Budget and that is the development of Cyberport 5
如果大家看過《蘋果日報》最近的一篇報道，便知道文中指出，經逐一點算數碼港的商鋪後，發覺聲稱的九成出租率是假的，當中有三成商鋪並非從事資訊科技業務。
If Members have read a recent report in Apple Daily they should learn that after checking the shops in Cyberport one by one the 90 % occupancy rate being claimed is not true as 30 % of the shops are not engaging in information technology business
可是，司長卻說要發展新一期數碼港，請問鋪從何來，需求從何來？
However the Financial Secretary now proposes to develop a new phase of the Cyberport . May I ask where the shops are and where the demands are?
我們多年來一直要求發展南港島綫，請問運輸及房屋局今天有時間表了嗎？
We have been calling for the development of the South Island Line West for many years . May I ask if the Transport and Housing Bureau has drawn up a timetable today?
原因是交通不便。
Because of inconvenient transportation
數碼港交通不便便是死症，亦由於這個原因，傳媒已"踢爆"很多商鋪根本是十室九空。
The incurable problem of the Cyberport is inconvenient transportation and this is why as revealed by the media the shops therein are almost completely vacant
我認為與其發展數碼港第五期，不如先搞好交通配套。
In my opinion instead of developing Cyberport 5 the Government should better improve the transport ancillary facilities
試問市民又怎會期望政府可以真正做到"撐企業、保就業、穩經濟、利民生"？在去年的預算案中，引起最大爭議的是關愛共享計劃。
Even the introduction of the simplest measure that does not require overall policy support such as the annual handout of candies turned out to be very annoying
簡單而言，為了讓市民易於明白，我們將上述制度統稱為"新專利制度"。
Simply put to make things easy for understanding by members of the public the systems is collectively referred to as the new patent system
主席，記得財政司司長就上一份財政預算案回應行政長官的理財新哲學時，表示會"善用盈餘、為香港投資、為民紓困"，又特別解釋公共開支與本地生產總值的關係，以回應有關公共開支不超越本地生產總值20%的財政預算準則。
President when the Financial Secretary responded to the question concerning the Chief Executives new fiscal philosophy advocated in last years Policy Address he said that he would optimize the use of surplus to invest for Hong Kong and relieve our peoples burdens . He also explained in particular the relationship between public expenditure and Gross Domestic Product GDP in relation to the budgetary criterion of public expenditure not exceeding 20 % of GDP
司長表示要"面對社會和經濟多方面的需要，公共財政也需要積極回應"，因此將公共開支與本地生產總值的比例稍為提高至21%。
The Financial Secretary also said that it was necessary to be more proactive in managing public finances in the face of various development needs of society and the economy and thus he had slightly raised the ratio of public expenditure to GDP to 21 %
對於這項積極回應，我非常興奮，甚至可以說是"瞓身"支持，但原來卻是表錯情。
I was very glad to hear such a positive response and it could even be said that I gave my wholehearted support . Yet it turned out that I was totally mistaken
翻看今年2018-2019年度的修訂預算，原來1%的"積極回應"是預算錯誤， 公共開支相當於本地生產總值只有20.2%，與過往無大分別。
Looking at the revised estimates of 2018 - 2019 I found that the 1 % positive response was a budgetary mistake as the new public expenditure was only 20.2 % of our GDP not much different from the past
究竟財政司司長所執行的所謂理財新哲學是指甚麼？
What exactly is the new fiscal philosophy that the Financial Secretary is implementing?
我很擔心，理財新哲學只是一些口惠而實不至的口號。
I am very worried that the new fiscal philosophy is merely a lip service
政府的理財哲學由始至終都是"經濟發展優先，民生放在一旁"。
The Governments fiscal management philosophy is always according economic development the top priority while leaving peoples livelihood aside
政府的首要角色是推動經濟發展，所以今年財政司司長採取的大方向也是"撐企業、保就業、穩經濟、利民生"。
The Governments first and foremost role is to promote economic development and hence the general direction taken by the Financial Secretary this year is also supporting enterprises safeguarding jobs stabilizing the economy strengthening livelihoods
更大問題是，香港政府多年來一直瞞騙市民，不斷推動經濟發展，以高地價政策配合極低稅率，將賣地收入投放在基建之上，多年來不斷積聚公共儲備，"利民生"卻一直未有兌現，這不是瞞騙是甚麼？
A bigger problem is that the Hong Kong Government has been lying to the people over the years . It never stops promoting economic development . By maintaining the high land price policy and extremely low tax rates and putting the land sales revenue into infrastructures it continues to accumulate public reserves but it never honours its promise to strengthen livelihoods
但是，同一時間的民生數字如何？
What about the statistics concerning the peoples livelihood during the same period?
貧窮人口一直佔整體人口約五分之一，政策介入後仍有約100萬人屬貧窮人口，包括34萬名長者，18萬名兒童。
There are still about 1 million people living in poverty after policy intervention among them 340 000 are elderly people and 180 000 children
另一方面，根據政府統計處數據，香港僱員每周工作中位時數為44.3小時，150萬名"打工仔"每周工時高於44小時，當中65萬名"打工仔"更高於52小時。
On the other hand according to government statistics the median working hours of employees in Hong Kong is 44.3 hours per week with 1 500 000 wage earners working over 44 hours a week and 650 000 even working for more than 52 hours a week
要注意的是，國際勞工組織的建議是每周工作40小時。
It should be noted that the International Labour Organization recommends a 40 - hour work week
政府曾承諾有需要的市民3年可以"上樓"，但今年公屋的平均輪候時間或會突破6年。
The Government once promised that people in need would be allocated with public rental housing in three years but this year the average waiting time may likely exceed six years
香港市民的居住情況是越住越貴，越住越細。
Hong Kong people are faced with the problems of paying more for smaller housing units
被評估為需要長期護理的長者，其輪候政府津助及合約院舍的時間不斷延長，現時平均輪候時間已超過3年，每年約有6,000名長者在輪候期間死亡。
For elderly persons categorized as requiring constant attendance their waiting time for places in subvented residential care homes and contract homes continues to extend and now the average waiting time has exceeded three years . Each year about 6 000 elderly persons died while waiting
主席，這些數據說明了甚麼？
President what do these figures tell us?
香港經濟不斷發展，但民生根本沒有改善，甚至乎惡化，"發展經濟，改善民生"這句說話，很可惜已經破產。
While the economy continues to grow in Hong Kong peoples livelihood has not been improved but has deteriorated instead . It is a shame that the promise of developing the economy and improving peoples livelihood has been broken
香港的核心問題不是經濟發展欠佳，而是社會分配不均及分配不公。
The crux of Hong Kongs problem is not poor economic performance but uneven and unjust distribution of wealth in society
要改善民生，就要改善社會分配，而公共政策和公共財政本來是改善社會分配的最好工具，但現在公共政策和公共財政卻成為延續、甚至是強化這種分配不均的工具。
To improve peoples livelihood one must improve the distribution of wealth in society and public and fiscal policies should be the best tools for this purpose but they are now used to maintain or even strengthen this uneven and unjust distribution
香港政府現時財政儲備超過10,000億元，儲備水平達到26個月的政府開支，明顯過高。
Hong Kongs present fiscal reserves have exceeded 1,000 billion equivalent to government expenditure for 26 months which is obviously too high
這些本來屬於市民的公共資源，政府卻多年來沒有好好運用，繼續維持保守的財政理念，不斷累積儲備。
These public resources should belong to the people but the Government has never made good use of such resources over the years; instead it maintains a conservative fiscal management philosophy and keeps accumulating fiscal reserves
近年來更在稅率偏低的情況下為企業減稅，變相削弱政府作二次分配的能力。
In recent years despite the already low tax rates the Government continues to introduce tax cuts for enterprises which in a way weakens its capability of making a secondary distribution
財政盈餘則以"派糖"措施，還富於富，為富人減差餉、減利得稅、減商業登記費，擁有越多物業，獲得的"糖"越多。
Through handing out sweeteners in respect of fiscal surplus the Government returns wealth to the wealthy by reducing rates profits tax and business registration fee . Consequently the more properties one owns the more sweeteners he gets
減差餉最大的得益 者是地產商及擁有大量物業收租的人，減利得稅正是協助能在市場中賺到錢的商界。
Those who benefit the most from rates reduction are real estate developers and those who own large numbers of rental properties . The reduction of profits tax rate helps the business sector who profits from the market
基層市民平均每分得1元，有錢人就分得4.7元，這就是造成貧富懸殊的原因。
For every dollar the grass - roots people get from the distribution the rich get 4.7 . That is the cause of the huge wealth disparity in society
分配不公、分配不均，這不是我個人感受，亦是大眾的觀感。
I am not the only one who considers the Governments distribution unfair and uneven; the general public also have the same feeling
市民的眼睛是雪亮的，大部分市民都見到特區政府如何不合理地分配公共財富，以及如何重富輕民。
Members of the public have discerning eyes . Most of them can see the Governments unreasonable distribution of public wealth and how it favours the rich over the poor
香港大學民意研究計劃在今年4月2日公布了市民對於預算案的評價結果，滿意率淨值為-33%，對預算案滿意度評分為42.5，是2003年以來的新低。
According to the findings of the survey conducted by the Public Opinion Programme of the University of Hong Kong on the Budget 2019 published on 2 April this year the net satisfaction rate stood at - 33 % and the satisfaction rate at 42.5 which was a record low since 2003
宏觀審視香港的經濟情況，有62%人認為香港財富分配不合理，而滿意政府理財策略的人只有22%，不滿意比率是48%，滿意淨值是-27%，市民的不滿顯而易見。
Taking a macroscopic view of Hong Kongs economy we find that 62 % of people consider the distribution of wealth in Hong Kong unreasonable and only 22 % of people are satisfied with the Governments strategy in monetary arrangement . With a dissatisfaction rate standing at 48 % and net satisfaction rate at - 27 % it is obvious that the people are dissatisfied
主席，"派糖"可能已成為政府的不成文習慣，政府過去十幾年來均以一次過"派糖"方式"泄洪"。
President handing out sweeteners may have become the Governments unwritten established practice . For more than a decade it has taken the one - off approach of handing out sweeteners to drain the floods each year
過去10年，政府花費在"派糖"上的開支，一共超過4,000億元，這是甚麼的公共理財哲學？
Over the past decade the Government has spent a total of over 400 billion on handing out sweeteners . What kind of public monetary management philosophy is that?
甚麼的公共理財政策？
What kind of public monetary management strategy is that?
花費大量的行政開支、時間、人力等要求市民報稅、收稅，然後再花費大量公帑、人力物力去退稅、退差餉。
While large amounts of administration expenses time and manpower are spent on processing tax returns and collecting tax large amounts of public money manpower and resources are spent on tax and rates rebates
另一方面，極多香港的弱勢人士、不能自助者，卻要活在貧窮中，捱生捱死，又或是不斷等候各種社會服務，安老院舍要等、殘疾院舍要等、急症室要等、做手術要等、要藥救命要等、面對家暴想要住宿服務都要等。
On the other hand large numbers of underprivileged people and those who cannot stand on their own feet must languish in poverty and live a life of extreme hardship . They wait endlessly for various kinds of social services for places in residential care homes for the elderly and for people with disabilities for accident and emergency department services for surgical operations for life - saving drugs and for residential arrangements for victims of domestic violence
政府一直聲稱土地限制嚴重，以此來合理化填海造地，合理化社會福利和醫療設施不足和資源投放不足等問題。
The Government has always claimed that there is acute land shortage in Hong Kong an excuse to rationalize land reclamation and to rationalize the lack of social welfare services and the insufficient allocation of resources to health care facilities
事實上，政府每年賣地，每年透過賣地賺取收入，富豪打高爾夫球可以佔用相當於整個荃灣面積的土地，政府卻告訴市民沒有土地，因此未能增設院舍，未能為兒童增設住宿服務設施，未能增設醫院等。
As a matter of fact the Government sells land and reaps huge revenues every year . The golf course for the rich can occupy a site as big as Tsuen Wan but the Government tells people there is no land for building more residential homes additional facilities for residential child care services or more hospitals
土地空間分配不均才是問題的核心。
The uneven distribution of land and space is the crux of the problem
官員又說，賣地收入是政府其中一項重要收入，這是無可否認的事實。
Government officials also say that land sales revenue is a very important source of government income which is an undeniable fact
可是，必須留意的是，政府以公帑投資，為何不把投資盈利放回庫房作公共開支，為何現時放回庫房的比例這麼低？
However when the Government invests with public money why not plough back the investment proceeds to the Treasury to meet public expenditures? . How come the present plough back rate is so low?
再者，政府年 年"派糖"，多年間已用了4,000億元，今屆政府更減利得稅和薪俸稅，這表明甚麼？
Besides the Government has already spent some 400 billion for handing out sweeteners year after year and the incumbent Government even reduces profits tax and salaries tax . What does that tell us?
政府實不應再以無地這說法來推諉責任。
The Government should stop shirking its responsibility on the pretext of land shortage
