教資會美其名要確保各間院校開辦的資助課程符合效益，要求八大撰寫學術發展計劃，寫得差的話，下一年度便會縮減名額；如果寫得好，便可讓院校多加數個新學位，例如可能開辦一些冠以"全球"或"環球"等漂亮字眼的課程名稱，但究竟對學生是否真的得益則是另一回事。
UGC uses a beautiful pretext that the subsidized courses of every institution should be cost - effective thus the eight universities have to draw up proposals for academic development . Those who have submitted a lousy proposal will have their places cut in next year and those which are considered to have submitted good proposals may add a few new places so that they can open courses with a beautiful title starting with the words such as Global or Worldwide but whether they will benefit students is another story
況且，教資會成立於1965年，可謂歷史悠久，掌控大專資源，但究竟對於今天的大學教育質素又有多大承擔呢？
Besides UGC was established in 1965 thus one may say that it has a long history in taking charge of university resources but what commitments does it have towards the quality of university education today?
在這個環節，我會就編號25有關"總目112─立法會行政管理委員會"的修正案發言。
In this session I will speak on Amendment No . 25 in relation to Head 112―Legislative Council Commission
我提出的修正案是建議削減大約相當於2019-2020年度立法會總保安主任的全年薪酬預算開支。
My amendment seeks to reduce an amount which is equivalent to the estimated expenditure on the annual emoluments for the Chief Security Officer of the Legislative Council in 2019 - 2020
我知道去年本會在辯論《撥款條例草案》時，很少就行政管理委員會的預算開支或工作，提出一些批判性的意見，而就這個總目提出的修正案亦不太常見。
I know that last year when this Council debated on the Appropriation Bill we seldom aired our critical views on the estimated expenditure for or the work of the Legislative Council Commission . And it is also rare to have amendments in respect of this head
對於無論是正在收聽本會辯論的市民，還是在大樓工作的議員同事和秘書處職員，我都要先強調一點，我提出這項修正案，並不是針對某些 職員或某些同事，而是認為現時的辯論是一個很好的機會，讓我們可仔細審議在立法會行管會指導下，香港立法機關預算開支的使用情況。
To those members of the public who are listening to the debate of this Council and to Honourable colleagues and the Secretariat staff working in this Complex I have to emphasize one point and that is when I put forward this amendment I do not mean to take issue with certain staff or certain colleagues but think that this debate provides a good opportunity for us to scrutinize in detail how the estimated annual expenditure is used by the Hong Kong legislature under the guidance of the Legislative Council Commission
我希望大樓的議會同事，包括身為行管會主席梁議員，亦都平心靜氣地聆聽及考慮我的意見。
I hope that Honourable colleagues in this Complex including Mr LEUNG Chairman of the Legislative Council Commission can listen to and consider my views in a calm and rational manner
收看電視直播的市民未必會留意，可以衡工量值的角度來看議會工作。
Members of the public who are watching the live broadcast of this debate may not notice that the work of this Council can be viewed from a value - for - money perspective
首先，關於綱領2議會事務服務，2019-2020年度的預算為4億7,290萬元，已經需要這麼多錢；而4個議會事務部的工作，包括為立法會會議提供一般支援服務及程序方面的意見，亦為各委員會提供一般、程序方面和資料研究的支援，包括統籌會議的支援服務。
First of all under Programme 2 Council Business Services the financial provision is estimated to be 472.9 million which is quite a large sum of money . The work of the four Council Business Divisions involves providing general support services and procedural advice for meetings of the Council and providing general procedural and research support for committees including coordination of support services for meetings
不過，大樓內工作的保安同事一共有107位，假如有一天總保安主任說全部保安人員都要到會議廳，那麼保安人員與議員的比例便是2：1，這個比例相信是全世界議會中數一數二之多。
But there are a total of 107 security staff working in this Complex . Someday if the Chief Security Officer calls all the security staff to the Chamber the ratio of security officers to Members will be 2col1 and this ratio is believed to be one of the highest among the parliaments of the globe
大家看看我前面這張圖片，是公民黨的議會同事印製的，單是之前那次"林鄭"在立法會的答問會，已經看到有多少保安人員在會議廳主席台前。
Let us look at this picture in front of me which is printed by the Honourable colleagues of the Civic Party . Mrs Carrie LAM attended that Chief Executives Question and Answer Session and in that Session alone we could see the large number of security staff in front of the Presidents podium
我引述管制人員報告2019-2020年度需要特別留意的事項，它指出會繼續推行事業發展策略及加強職員培訓，以維持一支高效專業的團隊，持續支援立法會的工作。
I now quote the matters requiring special attention in 2019 - 2020 from the Controlling Officers Report . It says that the various Divisions will continue to implement career development strategies and enhance staff training for maintaining an effective and professional team to support the work of the Council on a sustainable basis
我們會問的第一個問題是，如何維持高效及專業呢？
The first question we will ask is How to maintain an effective and professional team?
以物業及保安組的編制，首先不要說編制膨脹，根本組成是一面倒的。
In regard to the Estate and Security Office its composition is basically lopsided not to mention its bloated establishment
《明報》有查證過，物業及保安組大部分高層都是一些退休警務人員或具紀律部隊背景。
As verified by Ming Pao most of the senior staff in the Estate and Security Office are retired police officers or have disciplined services background
聘請退休警務人員，本來是要令公眾有合理期望，基於他們曾在警隊服務及有管理經驗，可以令這組別成為一支高效專業的團隊，而不是變成一個退休警員的俱樂部。
The employment of retired police officers is basically to meet the reasonable expectations of the public that these officers based on their previous police services background and management experience can turn the Office into an effective and professional team instead of a retired police officers club
此外，我覺得亦不應該將保安變成軍事化，為了管制立法會的秩序而聘請太多人員。
Besides I think we should not militarize the security team by employing too many security staff to control the order of the Legislative Council
很多傳媒誤以為我們參與議會抗爭，一定與保安人員勢成水火，其實並不是這樣。
Many media have mistaken that we must be at odds with the security staff as we participate in parliamentary confrontation but it actually is not true
我到立法會餐廳吃飯，很多時候碰到的不是立法會的議員同事，而是保安同事。
When I go to the restaurant of the Legislative Council I always bump into security staff rather than Legislative Council Members and we will greet each other
很多保安同事未必一定曾任職紀律部隊，有些可能從事物業管理，未必有很多人群管理的經驗。
Some security staff were previously engaged in property management instead of working in disciplined services and thus may not have much crowd management experience
議員如果想公開提出意見，便只有透過審核管制人員報告來處理這方面的問題，亦是透過現時辯論的時間提出；而行管會主席梁君彥議員也可以聽聽我們的意見，責成總務部總保安主任，檢討大樓的保安安排是否一定要做到今天的地步。
If a Member wants to air his views openly to deal with the matter he can only do so through the Controlling Officers Report or through this time of debate . Mr Andrew LEUNG Chairman of the Legislative Council Commission can also listen to our views and instruct the Chief Security Officer of the Administration Division to have a review on the security arrangement of the Complex to see whether it has to be of the present scale
此外，我翻看電視台片段，發現保安人員在執行保安指令護送石禮謙議員時，對一些執行職務的議員女助理作出箍頸動作，我不希望會隨便作出這種做法，亦不希望隨便對議員助理追究責任。
Besides when I watched the footage from the television station I found that while the security staff were carrying out a security order to escort Mr Abraham SHEK a security officer wrapped his arm tightly around the neck of a Members female assistant who was also performing her duty . I hope that they will not make such moves casually and will not arbitrarily hold the Members personal assistants accountable
總保安主任有時在執行工作期間會遮擋記者鏡頭，這都是不理想的。
It is also disagreeable to see the Chief Security Officer blocking the view of the journalists cameras at times while performing his duty
我希望秘書處和梁議員能夠接納我的意見，保安人員學習職業安全也要有性別意識，不應該作出太多管制或採取太多箍頸的做法，這些都是不理想的。
I hope that the Secretariat and Mr LEUNG can accept my opinions . The security staff also need to have gender awareness when learning occupational safety . They should not exert too much control or make too many neck grabbing moves as all these are undesirable
我想就總目的非經營帳目項目，向立法會行管會提出一項意見。
I would like to raise a suggestion to the Legislative Council Commission in respect of capital items
我作為議員，雖然不能參與決定，不要緊，但亦並非由D6薪酬的陳維安一個人有話事權。
As a Member although I am unable to participate in decision - making and that is fine to me the decision should not be solely left in the hands of Mr Kenneth CHEN who is at D6 of the Directorate pay scale
採購的準則應該要公開，作為公開的議會，應該做到這一步，希望要多加留意這方面。
The procurement criteria should be open . Being an open Council we should be able to reach this stage
這兩個比賽的性質十分相近，均以學習《基本法》為名舉行比賽，但是否真的鼓勵學習《基本法》的知識，還是帶有政治目的，大家都應該要小心。
The nature of these two competitions is very similar and they are competitions organized in the name of learning the Basic Law . Nevertheless we should be careful about whether they are really encouraging the study of the Basic Law or they are for political ends
我們要緊守崗位，不應成為個別黨派推動一些政治議程的棋子。
We have to perform our duties faithfully and refrain from become the pawns of any individual political party in promoting its political agenda
我很贊成陳志全議員這項修正案。
I support the amendment proposed by Mr CHAN Chi - chuen
不過，我認為要講解這項修正案為何值得支持。
However I consider that I should explain why this amendment does merit our support
我想問一個很簡單問題，就是金融政策是否可以由政府處理，而不是外判？
I wish to ask a simple question . That is should financial policies be handled by the Government instead of outsourcing them?
現時金融發展局彷彿變成了一間很有趣的機構，意思就是它負責進行一些政策倡議金融政策的政策倡議然後再看看各個金融機關是否接受，港交所是否接受？甚至政府是否要修例？
Now FSDC has become a very interesting institution in that it is responsible for some policy advocacy work―to advocate financial policies―and then see if various financial regulators accept its recommendations if the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited HKEx accepts if SFC accepts or if the Government should amend the relevant ordinance and so on
然而，我想提出一個問題，究竟我們在迎接金融的商機，以及維護香港的制度的同時，有否做好保持平衡的工作？
However I wish to raise a question here . Has a balance been struck between welcoming new business opportunities in the financial market and safeguarding Hong Kongs system?
有否維護小投資者的權益？
Have the rights and interests of small investors been safeguarded?
最近兩年，香港有出現了頗大的變化較為熟悉金融行情的朋友，應該都很清楚就是港交所接納了"同股不同權"上市的做法，繼而希望追趕上整個新經濟時代。
Hong Kong has seen significant changes in the recent year or two―people who are familiar with the financial market should know well that HKEx has accepted the arrangement of weighted voting rights in its listing rules in the hope of catching up with the new economy era
這點我是明白的，因為傳統以來，香港的股票市場都是以藍籌股為主，當中以地產業尤其蓬勃。
I understand that because traditionally Hong Kongs stock market has been mainly relying on blue chips in which the property sector has been doing well in particular
相較於世界上其他主要市場，例如納斯特克，它有六成是屬於新經濟的股份；紐約交易所，有47%；倫敦交易所，有14%；港交所在2017年的數字，只有3%，的確相差很遠。
Comparing with other major markets in the world for example new economy stocks account for about 60 % of the stocks in NASDAQ New York Stock Exchange 47 % London Stock Exchange 14 % while HKEx was 3 % only in 2017 . The difference is actually really huge
很多人便會問，如果我們不讓新經濟成分的股票上市，是否便無法迎接世界的競爭力？
Many people will ask are we unable to maintain the competitiveness to meet the challenge of the world if we do not allow the listing of new economy stocks?
回到我的兩項補充質詢，我亦有提及關於"同股不同權"的問題，就是現時的確有數種股票上市，很多時候大家均提到"三大IPO"，但有時候我們也有所質疑我的質詢是例如就營運性質而言，有些本來說互聯網股，但到了最後並不是從事互聯網行業，而是 從事加工製造行業。
That is several types of stocks are listed at the present moment . Very often people will talk about the three major IPOs . But sometimes we should question that as far as the nature of operation is concerned some stocks were originally claimed to be Internet stocks but they turned out to be engaging in other processing and manufacturing business
又例如聲稱是生物科技股，我其中一項質詢就是我去年也有提問，今年也有問當局表示要接納生物科技股上市，現時也有數十種生物科技股上了市，究竟它以甚麼客觀標準來估值呢？
Another example was about those stocks which were claimed to be bio - technology stocks . One of my questions is―I have also asked the same question last year and this year―the authorities have said that they would accept the listing of bio - technology stocks . A dozen of bio - technology companies have been listed in Hong Kong but what exactly are the objective standards for the valuation of these stocks?
當局的回應很有趣，我是問究竟生物科技股以何種標準來估值？
The authorities answer was very interesting . My question was what exactly were the objective standards for the valuation of these stocks?
舉例而言，如果某些股票根本是炒賣概念，而致無法反映實際的經濟及市值，便無法保障股民權益。
For example it certain stocks involved pure speculation of a concept their prices would not reflect their actual economic and market values . Consequently the rights and interests of investors would not be protected
我的另一項提問，就是針對另一個標準而提問的。
My another question was related to other standards
當局打擊這麼多"殼股"，但港交所的《上市規則》第13.24條訂明，當局是持着這個標準打擊"殼股"不是政府打擊，而是證監會它要公司證明有足夠業務運作，而"足夠業務運作"是關鍵詞。
While the authorities were combating so many listed shells according to the Listing Rule 13.24 of HKEx―the authority was combating listed shells based on these standards . Those shell companies had to prove that they had sufficient level of operations while sufficient level of operations was the key word
就上訴機制而言，當局表示將會在今年年中訂出一個新的上市委員會及上訴機制，以完善停牌的安排，以及上訴後復牌的安排。
As to the appeal mechanism the authorities indicated that a new listing committee would be established and a new appeal mechanism would be put in place by the middle of this year in order to improve the arrangements for the suspension and resumption of stock trading after an appeal
反而中國大陸對此事可能說得更清楚，就是當局要證明這些公司連續3年都是虧損，才可以將它停牌。
On the contrary Mainland China might have spelt that out clearly . That is the authorities have to prove that these companies have been losing money for three years in a row before a suspension order can be issued
為何人家有清楚的規矩，我們還未有，而新推出的制度又是否能夠有清楚的規矩呢？
Why others have laid down unequivocal rules but we have not . Will unequivocal rules be set down under the new regime?
我認為必須作出平衡，你不能一面建議大家要接受A新產品、B新產品、C新產品，但你在規管上卻沒有好好配合。
I consider that a balance should be struck . You should not ask people to accept new products A B and C on the one hand and you have not put in place a regulatory regime to support them on the other
不過，據我理解，一般正常的市場運作並非如此，但這並不重要，要點是我會用任何方法，只要能制裁領展的，我都會歡迎。
However as far as I know this is not considered normal market operation . But this is irrelevant . What is relevant is that I will exhaust all means and I will welcome any measure as far as it can sanction Link REIT
無論如何，我的重點是當局建議了一些產品，卻沒有規管得很好。
Anyway my key point is that the authorities have recommended certain products to the market but they fail to regulate them properly
最後剩下少許時間，希望再談修正案第43項，就是葉建源議員提出的削減香港考試及評核局的基本能力評估，換言之是TSA。
As I still have a little bit of time I wish to speak on Amendment No . 43 . That is the amendment moved by Mr IP Kin - yuen which seeks to reduce the estimated expenditure of the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority in the Territory - wide System Assessment TSA
其實，他剛才也有發言，但很可惜，我們今天討論教育政策，卻沒有辦法，不可以所有發言都與在席官員相關。
In fact he has spoken just now . But unfortunately even we are talking about education policies today we can do nothing as not all speeches must be relevant to the public officers present in this Chamber
於是，這又回復到操練的問題，而這些比較和操練問題到頭來完全未有解決。
For that reason it is all about the problem of drills . It ends up that the problems of comparisons and drills have not been resolved at all
大家更別忘記，教育界認為頭幾屆TSA的試卷比較容易，但後來因為太容易了，以致難以分辨學生優劣，於是便越出越難，考題越難便可以分出優劣，但考題越難便令到學生的操練和補課越辛苦。
We should not forget another thing that is the education sector considers that as the papers of the first few TSA examinations are too easy it is difficult to assess the academic levels of students . As a result the exam questions are becoming more and more difficult as they think the more difficult the papers the easier for them to assess the levels of students . But as the exam questions are getting increasingly difficult school children have to bear a heavier burden of drills and additional classes
究竟這是否為了凸出學校的所謂的競爭力而進行的比較，而致令學生接受不到應要接受的教育，卻要為TSA操練？
After all is said and done will the comparison among schools which seeks to highlight the competitive edge of schools lead to forcing students to receive the education they should not receive and doing drills for TSA?
要真正達致愉快學習，減輕學生的學習壓力，不是將問題延後便當作解決了問題，而應徹底解決操練問題，全面撤回小三TSA，這是我支持葉建源議員削減大約相當於教育局委託香港考試及評核局進行基本能力評估項目的全年預算開支的原因。
If we are to achieve happy learning and alleviate the pressure of learning on students deferring the problem to a later stage cannot be considered a genuine solution . Instead we should address the problem of drilling students by completely rescinding TSA for primary three students . This is the reason why I support Mr IP Kin - yuens proposed amendment which seeks to reduce the estimated expenditure of the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority in TSA
主席，既然你能如此寬待何君堯議員，並給予他如此開闊的討論空間，我希望你也能給予我開闊的討論空間。
Chairman given your leniency shown to Mr Junius HO who was allowed to speak on a wide range of issues I hope you will also allow me to speak on a wide range of issues
一如郭家麒議員所質疑：林鄭月娥破壞香港的法治和香港多年來所建立的基業，為何她還可以領取工資？
Just as Dr KWOK Ka - ki has questioned Given her acts that served to destroy Hong Kongs rule of law and its foundation that had taken years to build how come she is still paid a salary?
他竟容許秘書處違反《議事規則》，在未獲主席指示的情況下自行發出通知。
Mr CHEN should not have allowed the Legislative Council Secretariat to in violation of the Rules of Procedure RoP issue a notice on its own without being directed by the Chairman concerned
抱歉，在席兩位局長也與教育事務無關，卻要聆聽我就教育事宜發言，但我真的很想談談這方面的問題。
I am so sorry that the two Secretaries now present in this Chamber actually have nothing to do with education but still have to listen to my speech on this policy area
這份報告正正指出了課程發展處作為協助課程發展議會編寫課程指引的重要機關，亦變相成為了推動"洗腦"教育以達致政治目的的幫兇。
The report points out exactly the truth that CDI as an important body which assists CDC in preparing curriculum guidelines has turned into an accomplice engaging in the latters mission of taking forward brainwashing education to serve political ends
課程發展處不斷編寫有問題的課程指引，而這些課程指引確實會影響前線老師的教學工作。
The CDI keeps preparing problematic curriculum guidelines that will indeed affect the teaching of frontline teachers
有前線老師反映，課程指引令老師失去教育自主性，亦失去調節內容的靈活性。
Some frontline teachers have pointed out that the curriculum guidelines have in effect deprived teachers of the autonomy of education and the flexibility to adjust the contents of the teaching materials
例如2018年5月教育局所公布的初中中國歷史科課程大綱定稿，旨在培養學生對國家民族認同與歸屬感，可是課程大綱並未涵蓋八九民運、六七暴動等一些極為重要的歷史事件，但卻加入了強調中港關係的歷史觀。
Take for instance the finalized draft of the curriculum framework of the Chinese History Subject published by the Education Bureau in May 2018 which aims to foster students sense of national identity and sense of belonging . Nevertheless the syllabus has failed to cover some of the most important historical events such as the Democratic Movement in China in 1989 the 1967 riots in Hong Kong etc . On the contrary a historical view that emphasizes China - Hong Kong relations has been incorporated into the said framework
根據香港教育專業人員協會所發表有關初中中國歷史科課程修訂問卷調查結果顯示，有77%教師認為課程應以香港自開埠以來的獨特發展為重，但新修訂的初中中史課程大綱卻越來越不重視香港的歷史，並與教師的取態有着明顯分歧，課程指引既不符合教師期望，亦忽略了他們的專業意見。
Does the Government intend to show only the good things in history and conceal the ugly ones by so doing? . According to the results of a survey conducted by the Hong Kong Professional Teachers Union on the revision of the syllabus of the Chinese History Subject for junior secondary schools 77 % teachers opined that emphasis should be laid on the unique development of Hong Kong since its opening up as a commercial port but the newly revised syllabus of the Chinese History Subject for junior secondary schools has attached less importance to the history of Hong Kong and the stance taken is obviously very different from that of the teachers . Meanwhile the curriculum guidelines have fallen short of their expectations while their professional views have been ignored as well
此外，我想討論有關課程發展處的人手問題。
Besides I would like to discuss the manpower issues of CDI
課程發展處以往有就各個主修科設立專責部門，負責統籌各個科目的課程發展工作，而現時學校課程檢討專責小組現正檢討通識科課程。
In the past CDI had set up a dedicated section for each core subject to coordinate curriculum development tasks of respective core subjects . And as at present the Task Force on Review of School Curriculum is reviewing the curriculum of Liberal Studies LS
我盼望香港成為一個問責的社會、一個民主的社會。
I look forward to Hong Kongs becoming a society built upon democratic accountability
當然，在兩年前，一個絕對沒有懸念的結果是，在建制派議員力壓之下，這項議案不獲通過，與很多其他類似的議案一樣，因為有建制派議員的保駕護航而不能成事。
Of course two years ago it was a foregone conclusion that the amendment would be negatived under the pressure of pro - establishment Members . Like many other similar amendments it fell through because the pro - establishment Members let the Administration off the hook
但是，我要指出一點，去年並沒有立法會議員提出類似的修正案，而今天再提出這項修正案，我當然亦沒有任何懸念，修正案不會被通過。
Having said that I wish to raise the point that while no Member of the Legislative Council proposed any similar amendment last year I am sure that this one proposed again today will not be passed either
但今時今日提出這項削減保安局官員薪酬的修正案，不能成事是一回事，但我覺得陳志全議員畢竟表達了很多香港人的一個真實願望，便是希望能夠修訂議案；而我亦想指出，今次提出修正案的意義較兩年前更為深遠。
However leaving aside the fact that this amendment proposed today to deduct the emoluments of the Security Bureau officials will fall through I think Mr CHAN Chi - chuen has after all expressed a genuine wish of many Hong Kong people namely to amend the Bill . I would also like to point out that the significance of this proposed amendment is more far - reaching than the one two years ago
大家可還記得兩年前是甚麼日子？
Do Members remember what was special about two years ago today?
梁振英面臨下台，當時的修正案明顯是針對當時梁振英政府內的前保安局局長縱容警察肆意濫權。
Mr LEUNG Chun - ying was under pressure to step down . At the time the amendment obviously took aim at the former Secretary for Security S for S in LEUNGs Government for condoning the polices wanton abuse of power
去年並沒有提出類似的修正案，我個人估計或會是陳志全議員或其他議員希望在新政府剛上場時，想給新任局長一個機會，看看換了人以後，新的保安局會否有令人刮目相看的表現。
The reason why no similar amendment was proposed last year as I personally reckon was that Mr CHAN Chi - chuen or other Members hoped to give the new Secretary a chance when the new Government was formed so as to see whether the reshuffled Security Bureau will do anything impressive
然而，非常可惜，不足兩年下來，我們只看到新任保安局局長的作風，只有更絕、更奸、更霸及更"紅"。
But unfortunately less than two years on we have only found the new S for Ss style to be more extreme more devious more imperious and more red
保安局在李家超局長領導下，在過去1年多的日子裏，可謂劣跡斑斑，由拒絕馬凱入境至修訂《逃犯條例》，保安局的表現根本不能用合格來形容。
Under the leadership of Secretary John LEE the Security Bureau has had a deplorable track record over the past year or more ranging from the refusal of Victor MALLETs entry to the proposed amendment of the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance FOO . The performance of the Security Bureau cannot be described as being up to standard
我們公民黨支持陳志全議員的 修正案，是希望予保安局的官員特別是局長一個警號：香港人並不滿意他們的工作表現。
We in the Civic Party support Mr CHAN Chi - chuens amendment with a view to sending the warning signal to the Security Bureau officials in particular the Secretary that Hong Kong people are dissatisfied with their performance
主席，我想在此特別指出，雖然陳議員的修正案覆蓋整個保安局的官員，但我們公民黨特別針對的，其實主要是問責官員，特別是李家超局長。
Chairman I wish to highlight here that although Mr CHANs amendment covers the officials throughout the Security Bureau we in the Civic Party are in fact particularly and mainly targeting principal officials especially Secretary John LEE
主席，我曾聽過一種說法，李局長在過去1年多以來，基本上沒有留給香港人任何正面的感覺或印象，反而令人一再聯想到古代皇帝身邊的讒臣，唯唯諾諾，滿肚密圈，時刻都好像在計算自己可以如何協助獨裁者鞏固權力。
Chairman I have heard the suggestion that basically Secretary LEE has not brought any positive feelings or impressions to Hong Kong people in the past year or more but rather repeatedly put people in mind of the slanderous officials in ancient times who were servile to the emperor for ulterior purposes and always seemed to be contemplating how to help a dictator consolidate power . He has made people feel so bad about him
他予人如此差劣的感覺，我只希望是在我身邊說出這番話的人看錯，畢竟局長現時身處的不再是古代，而是現代社會，雖然最大權力依然掌握在北京手中，但特區政府官員還須向香港人問責，香港人才是他們真正的老闆。
I only hope that those by my side who made such remarks have made a misjudgment . After all the Secretary is not living in ancient times but in a modern society . Although the supreme power still lies in Beijings hands officials of the SAR Government must still be accountable to Hong Kong people who are their real bosses
主席，作為政府官員老闆的代表，議員代表香港人要削減他的薪酬，要跟他做appraisal，其實是要告訴他，他的工作表現差劣。
Chairman as representatives of the bosses of government officials and on behalf of Hong Kong people Members seek to deduct his emoluments and conduct an appraisal on him . In fact this move serves to tell him that his performance is poor
建制派同事很多時批評我們民主派把某些事情政治化。
Pro - establishment colleagues often criticize us in the democratic camp for politicizing certain matters
