如果特首和局長採納我們的意見，改為用"大基金池"方案，比當局堅持的所謂終極方案，大家會開心很多，也不會花很多時間討論，可以在本屆政府任期內順利完成立法工作。
We will be very glad if the Chief Executive and the Secretary are willing to adopt our view and change to our enhanced version instead of their ultimate proposal that they have been insisting . And we do not need to spend a lot of time on the discussion and we can smoothly complete the legislative work within this Government term
最後，我衷心希望特首和局長理解中小微企的擔憂，考慮中小微企的承擔能力，千萬不要一意孤行，強推終極方案，迫使中小微企就範。
Last but not least I sincerely hope that the Chief Executive and the Secretary can understand the worries of MSMEs and consider their affordability and do not wilfully force the ultimate proposal through this Council and force MSMEs to accept it
我謹此陳辭，支持致謝議案，反對對沖方案。
I so submit and support the Motion of Thanks and oppose the Governments offsetting arrangement
主席，香港嚴重缺乏土地，令經濟民生大受影響，是不爭的事實。
President it is an indisputable fact that Hong Kongs serious land shortage has significantly affected its economic development and peoples livelihood
我早前以立法會工程界議員的身份，就2018年施政報告向行政長官提交建議，促請特區政府以更大勇氣和承擔，多管齊下制訂及落實短、中、長期的土地儲備規劃，包括積極推動在維多利亞港以外的合適選址填海、加快開發岩洞和地下空間、在特定條件下增加地積比率、更改土地用途、加快收地與重建、推進各項新發展區和新市鎮擴展計劃等、靈活調節土地供應、加快落實增加房屋供應，以及促進產業發展等不同政策目標。
Recently I submitted my proposals on the 2018 Policy Address to the Chief Executive in my capacity as a Member of the engineering sector in the Legislative Council and urged the SAR Government to adopt a multi - pronged approach with greater courage and commitment in formulating and implementing short - medium - and long - term land reserve planning covering various policy objectives such as actively promoting reclamation at suitable sites outside the Victoria Harbour speeding up the development of rock caverns and underground space raising the plot ratio under specific conditions revising land uses expediting land resumption and redevelopment taking forward various expansion plans concerning new development areas and new towns flexibly adjusting land supply expediting the actualization of increasing housing supply and fostering industries development
施政報告公布"明日大嶼願景"，計劃盡快展開研究在交椅洲和喜靈洲附近水域分階段填海，建造合共約1,700公頃的人工島，用作興建26萬至40萬個住宅單位，供70萬至110萬人口居住，當中七成為公營房屋。
The Policy Address announces the Lantau Tomorrow Vision and the intention to expeditiously commence studies on undertaking reclamation in phases in the waters near Kau Yi Chau and Hei Ling Chau for the purpose of building several artificial islands totalling around 1 700 hectares so as to construct 260 000 to 400 000 residential units to accommodate 700 000 to 1 100 000 people with public housing units accounting for 70 % of the units
我與香港經濟民生聯盟的議員皆認為，特區政府回應社會的強烈訴求，展示加大力度開拓土地的決心，是值得歡迎和肯定的。
I together with Members of the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong BPA think that the SAR Governments response to strong social demands and its determination to develop land with greater efforts merit our approval and recognition
可惜的是，部分社會人士把"明日大嶼願景"妖魔化，例如數位非建制派議員今天就致謝議案動議修正案的發言便充滿危言聳聽的措辭，例如耗支可達1萬億元，有可能淘空庫房，破壞生態環境等。
Regrettably some people in the community have demonized the Lantau Tomorrow Vision . For instance the speeches of several non - establishment Members in moving their amendments to the Motion of Thanks today were full of alarmist words . Some examples are that the spending of as much as 1,000 billion may result in a depletion of the public coffers and the plan will damage the ecological environment
他們不但要求行政長官擱置或收回"明日大嶼"計劃，甚至要求政府承諾在善用本港所有土地資源前，不再考慮填海建造人工島的方案，總之務必要打倒"明日大嶼"計劃。
Not only have they requested the Chief Executive to shelve or withdraw the Lantau Tomorrow Plan but they have also asked the Government to undertake that it will not give any further thoughts to the idea of building any artificial island through reclamation before optimizing all land resources in Hong Kong . They have sought to overturn the Lantau Tomorrow Plan no matter what
主席，香港的天然地勢是山多地少，開埠以來靠移山填海造地發展。
President Hong Kongs natural landscape is made up of mountains and a small area of flat land . Since its inception land has been created for development through flattening of mountains and reclamation
今天繁忙的中環、灣仔、銅鑼灣、尖沙咀、油麻地、旺角、紅磡和觀塘等地區，以及沙田、大埔、荃灣、葵涌、屯門、將軍澳和東涌等新市鎮，全皆是依靠移山填海造地。
The bustling districts today including Central Wan Chai Causeway Bay Tsim Sha Tsui Yau Ma Tei Mong Kok Hung Hom and Kwun Tong and also such new towns as Sha Tin Tai Po Tsuen Wan Kwai Chung Tuen Mun Tseung Kwan O and Tung Chung are all developed on land created through flattening of mountains and reclamation
不過，特區政府在成立後反而拖慢填海造地，形成今天土地嚴重短缺的困難局面。
But the SAR Government has slowed down the progress of land development through reclamation after inauguration thus resulting in the predicament marked by a serious land shortage today
香港自開埠以來，填海超過4,000公頃，前港督衞奕信在1989年年底宣布玫瑰園計劃，及至1998年7月6日赤鱲角新機場啟用，不 但填海1,200公頃，更順利完成了機場建設和相關基建，包括青馬大橋和機場鐵路等，過程只花了9年時間。
Over 4 000 hectares of land have been created through reclamation in Hong Kong since its inception . During the period from late 1989 when the then Governor David WILSON announced the Rose Garden Project to the commissioning of the new airport in Chap Lap Kok on 6 July 1998 over 1 200 hectares of land were created through reclamation and this process spanning merely nine years even saw the smooth completion of the construction of the airport and related infrastructure facilities including the Tsing Ma Bridge and the Airport Express
在1985年至2000年的15年間，本港共填海約3,000公頃。
During the 15 years between 1985 and 2000 around 3 000 hectares of land were created through reclamation in Hong Kong
因此，香港填海並非甚麼新鮮事，而對於香港而言，"明日大嶼"計劃需要的填海規模是一直已有的經驗。
This shows that reclamation is nothing new to Hong Kong and Hong Kong already has the experience of undertaking reclamation of the scale required of the Lantau Tomorrow Plan . Previous experience can serve as future reference
鑒往知來，有填海，香港才有今天的繁榮；有填海，香港才有更好的未來。
Reclamation is the foundation of Hong Kongs prosperity today; and reclamation is the foundation of a brighter future for Hong Kong
如果能夠造出一大片接近將來三跑完成的整個香港國際機場大小的土地，用以提供大量公私營房屋、社會設施和就業，該處更可以成為第三個核心商業區，這有助打造香港成為國際創新科技中心，對香港的發展，對希望解決居住問題的市民，也是一大好事。
The creation of a vast area of land comparable in size to that of the entire Hong Kong International Airport with the future third runway for providing many public and private residential units community facilities and employment opportunities and also for developing a third core business district will be favourable to Hong Kongs development into an international innovation and technology centre . This will likewise do much help to Hong Kongs development and those who want to resolve their housing problems
特區政府現時只想啟動"明日大嶼願景"研究也遭受反對。
At present the mere intention of the SAR Government to initiate studies on the Lantau Tomorrow Vision has even met with opposition
有人口口聲聲反對所謂"倒1萬億元落海"，我不知道他們的數字從何而來。
Some have voiced objection to pouring 1,000 billion into the sea as they call it . I wonder how they come up with this figure
機場三跑填海650公頃，填海費用佔1,400億元的四成，即約億元，而最近開展的東涌填海多公頃，工程費用為100多億元。
The reclamation expenditure on creating 650 hectares of land for constructing a third airport runway accounts for 40 % of the total expenditure of 140 billion that is around 60 billion . The recently commenced Tung Chung reclamation project for creating some 100 hectares of land has incurred a works cost of around 10 billion
在不同地方填海，由於海床的狀況、深度和地質等因素，工程造價也會有所不同，必須根據前期研究結果再作推算，但亦絕非反對者所說的數字。
The works costs of reclamation projects vary from one location to another due to various factors such as the conditions depth and geology of the seabed and a cost estimate must be made on the basis of preliminary study findings . But it is definitely not the figure asserted by those opposing it
有反對者認為，"明日大嶼願景"將會耗盡政府儲備，這說法同樣經不起推敲。
Some opponents argue that the Lantau Tomorrow Vision will exhaust the Governments reserves . This cannot stand the test of reason either
"明日大嶼願景"是一個跨越未來二三十年的規劃，會分階段有序推行，工程融資亦可探討多種辦法。
As a plan spanning the next two or three decades the Lantau Tomorrow Vision will be taken forward progressively in phases and we may explore various ways for project financing
經民聯曾經建議政府發行填海債券，籌募填海和相關基建工程的所需開支，並以日後填海的賣地收益償還，讓市民有多一種較穩健的投資工具。
BPA has proposed that the Government should issue reclamation bonds as a means of raising funds for meeting the expenses on reclamation and related infrastructure works and redeem the bonds with its land sale revenue after reclamation so as to provide people with an additional and more stable investment tool
我相信這亦有助爭取市民對"明日大嶼願景"的支持。
I believe this can also help to obtain peoples support for the Lantau Tomorrow Vision
主席，我認為更大的問題在於"明日大嶼願景"的反對者往往是"一葉障目，不見泰山"，肆意誇大填海的成本估算，完全忽視了計劃可以帶來的各種經濟效益和社會效益。
President in my view a greater problem is that opponents of the Lantau Tomorrow Vision have very often failed to take the whole picture in view and blatantly exaggerated the estimated cost of the reclamation project in total disregard for the various economic and social benefits that the plan can bring about
主席，香港一直以低稅率為榮，目前的薪俸稅標準稅率只是15%，利得稅稅率最多是16.5%，是發達地區中最低的水平。
President Hong Kong has all along taken pride in its low tax rates . At present the standard rate of the salaries tax merely stands at 15 % and the profits tax rate is capped at 16.5 % the lowest level among advanced regions
這不但大大減輕了市民的稅務負擔，而且為香港營造了良好和具競爭力的營商環境，吸引海內外的企業來港發展業務，促進香港的經濟發展。
This has not only greatly alleviated peoples tax burden but also cultivated a satisfactory and competitive business environment in Hong Kong one which has induced overseas and Mainland enterprises to develop business in Hong Kong and fostered Hong Kongs economic development
香港能夠保持低稅率，同時能夠承擔龐大的社會開支，填海造地是增加政府收入的重要來源。
All this has in turn enabled Hong Kong to maintain its low tax rates and afford its substantial social expenditures . And reclaimed land is an important source of increasing the Governments income
香港多年來填海造地，至今共提供了7,027公頃土地，佔約26,500公頃已發展地區的26%。
Over all these years Hong Kong has sought to develop land through reclamation . So far 7 027 hectares of land have been created and this accounts for 26 % of some 26 500 hectares of developed areas
由填海所得土地的收益，是重大的財政貢獻。
Revenue from reclaimed land constitutes significant fiscal contributions
數據顯示，2017-2018年度，香港的賣地收入高 達1,636億元，佔政府收入比重26.7%。
Statistics show that in 2017 - 2018 Hong Kongs land sale revenue amounted to as much as 163.6 billion representing 26.7 % of the Governments income
由此可見，缺乏持續造地和賣地帶來的龐大收益，香港的低稅制根本無以為繼，各項社會福利將缺乏足夠的資源支持，中產人士的稅務壓力屆時勢必首當其衝。
From this we can see that without the substantial revenue from continued land development and the ensuing land sale Hong Kong simply cannot sustain its low tax regime and the various social welfare benefits will lack sufficient resource support . By that time middle - class people will definitely bear the brunt of a heavier tax burden
"明日大嶼"計劃填海所得的人工島，四周皆是珍貴的臨海地皮，絕對是寸金尺土。
On the precious waterfront sites along the coast of the artificial islands to be created by reclamation under the Lantau Tomorrow Plan a square foot of land will certainly be worth an inch of gold
同時，人工島將打造成香港第三個核心商業區，加上鄰近港珠澳大橋及日趨成熟的交通配套，有專家初步估算，如果以計劃所能夠提供達1億5,300萬平方呎的樓面面積推算，並以東大嶼人工島非常保守的每平方呎6,000元至8,000元計算，已可以為庫房帶來上萬億元的收入。
At the same time with the development of a third core business district on those artificial islands in Hong Kong the nearby Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge and also the increasingly sophisticated ancillary transport facilities some experts have given a preliminary estimate that an income of over 1,000 billion can be generated for the public coffers if computation is done based on the plans provision of a floor area of as much as 153 million sq ft at a very conservative price in the range of 6,000 and 8,000 per square foot on the Lantau East artificial island
故此，政府發展"明日大嶼"不單不會造成財政危機，反而可以帶來龐大收入。
Therefore the Lantau Tomorrow plan put forth by the Government will not lead to any fiscal crisis and it may even generate a substantial income
此外，還有上述提及的有形及無形的社會效益，廣大市民都將受惠。
Besides the tangible and intangible social benefits mentioned above will also be favourable to the general public
至於反對者認為該填海計劃將破壞生態環境，我認為是過分顧慮。
In my opinion opponents may be over - worried in saying that the reclamation project will jeopardize the ecological environment
現今的填海工程已有多項環保技術緩解對環境的影響。
Various environmental technologies have been developed to mitigate the environmental impacts caused by reclamation works these days
例如，機場三跑需填海約650公頃，為了盡可能減低對環境造成的影響，香港機場管理局採用了深層水泥拌合法，這方法在世界各地已廣泛採用，可以防止海床中的污泥釋出水中。
One example is the third airport runway which requires the creation of around 650 hectares of land through reclamation . In order to minimize its environmental impact the Airport Authority Hong Kong has adopted the deep cement mixing method a method widely applied in various places of the world which can prevent the release of mud from the seabed into the water
隨着科技進步，現今已有多項成熟的環保填海技術。
With technological advancement various sophisticated environmental technologies have been developed for reclamation today
另一方面，填海造地當然要考慮極端天氣的挑戰，亦會以工程設計和技術提升防禦措施和應對氣候變化。
Besides the authorities will certainly factor in the challenges presented by extreme weather to reclamation while also enhancing the defensive measures for coping with weather changes through works design and technologies
所以，目前社會各界要解決的並非技術困難，而是我們有多大的決心和魄力解決長期窒礙香港發展的土地供應困局。
Therefore I will say that it is not technical difficulties that various social sectors must resolve at present . Instead all depends on our determination and resolution to tackle the land supply predicament that has come to hinder Hong Kongs development over all these years
主席，大規模的土地開發往往需時10年以上，綜合性的長遠基建規劃需時更長。
President large - scale land development very often spans over 10 years and the formulation of comprehensive planning for long - term infrastructural development takes even a longer time
據特區政府估計，即使研究和設計工作在短期內啟動，"明日大嶼願景"首階段的填海工程也要在2025年才能夠展開，首批住宅單位約於2030年入伙。
In the SAR Governments projection even if it commences studies and design very shortly the first phase of the reclamation project under the Lantau Tomorrow Vision can only be initiated in 2025 and the first batch of residential units can only be offered for peoples occupation around 2030
不少社會人士促請當局盡快展開該計劃。
Many people in the community have urged the authorities to initiate the plan as soon as possible
在11月6日，38名主要來自香港8所大專院校的經濟學者發表聯署聲明，有理有據地指出該填海計劃不單是可負擔的方案，更是上佳的社會投資，並同時批評社會上有不少有關"明日大嶼"的議論均屬立場先行及情緒化的口號，甚至流於煽動民情的民粹政治操作，可謂一針見血。
On 6 November 38 economics scholars mainly from the eight tertiary institutions in Hong Kong issued a joint statement pointing out with justifications that the reclamation project was not only an affordable proposal but it was also a desirable social investment . At the same time they also criticized many assertions about the Lantau Tomorrow plan in the community saying that they were marked by a position first attitude and emotional outbursts while dismissing them as a mere populist political manoeuvre with the aim of inciting public sentiments . It can be said that they have hit the nail on the head
因此，經民聯期待特區政府議而即決，決而即行，盡快交代填海規劃詳情，然後向立法會財務委員會申請填海所涉及的前期工程可行性研究的撥款，加快填海步伐，解決迫在眉睫的土地和房屋供應問題，讓更多市民能夠早日安居樂業。
Therefore BPA hopes that the SAR Government can proceed with the matter decisively explain the details of the reclamation plan as soon as possible and present to the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council its funding request concerning a preliminary feasibility study on the reclamation project so as to speed up the pace of reclamation as a means of resolving the dire land and housing supply problems and in turn enable more people to live and work in contentment as early as possible
主席，我與工程業界關心的另一項重要議題，是本港新鐵路項目的落實，以至長遠整體運輸基建的規劃。
President the engineering sector and I are also concerned about another important issue namely the materialization of new railway projects in Hong Kong and the overall long - term planning for transport infrastructural facilities
政府在2014年公布的《鐵 路發展策略2014》建議在直至2031年的規劃期內完成7個新鐵路項目，但至今仍未公布該7個鐵路項目的具體方案和落實時間表，以致市民望穿秋水，而建造鐵路的工程人員則擔心"手停口停"。
The Railway Development Strategy 2014 announced by the Government in 2014 proposed to complete seven new railway projects within the planning period until 2031 . But so far it has not announced any specific proposals on the seven railway projects and the timetable for their actualization . Therefore people have to continue waiting and the engineers for railway construction are worried that they will be unable to maintain their subsistence if they get out of work
同時，政府應否盡快開展第四次整體運輸研究，以應付《粵港澳大灣區城市群發展規劃》的跨境交通網絡，以及配套設施的需求呢？
At the same time should the Government commence the Fourth Comprehensive Transport Study as soon as possible so as to cope with the demands for cross - boundary transport networks and support facilities necessitated by the Development Plan for a City Cluster in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area?
在本立法年度的首次立法會會議上，我就上述問題向當局提出口頭質詢。
At the first Council meeting in this legislative session I put an oral question to the authorities about the aforesaid issue
據運輸及房屋局局長答覆，香港鐵路有限公司已就落實屯門南延線、北環線、東九龍線、東涌西延線及北港島線提交建議書。
According to the reply given by the Secretary for Transport and Housing the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL has presented its proposals on implementing the Tuen Mun South Extension the Northern Link the East Kowloon Line the Tung Chung West Extension and North Island Line
當局正要求港鐵公司補充有關建議的細節。
The authorities are requesting MTRCL to provide supplementary details on the relevant proposals
同時，鑒於房屋供應緊張，而鐵路發展有可能產生的潛在房屋供應，政府正檢視屯門南延線及北環線的鐵路方案，並爭取盡快諮詢公眾。
At the same time due to tight housing supply and the potential housing supply that may be generated by railway development the Government is reviewing the proposals on the Tuen Mun South Extension and Northern Link and will strive to consult the public as soon as possible
我相信工程業界均強烈希望有關方面不要再"唱慢板"，應該留意到本港社會對完善大型集體運輸系統的迫切訴求。
I believe the engineering sector strongly hopes that the relevant parties will pick up the pace and pay heed to the pressing demand for improving mass transport systems in the local community
但是，我樂於聽到當局將根據正在進行的《香港2030+：跨越2030年的規劃遠景與策略》研究所設定的整體土地規劃，推展《跨越2030年的鐵路及主要幹道策略性研究》，並且會把"明日大嶼願景"的相關規劃研究及策略性運輸走廊的建議納入研究內。
Nevertheless I am glad to hear that the authorities will take forward the Strategic Studies on Railways and Major Roads beyond 2030 based on the overall land planning laid down in the study on Hong Kong 2030 Towards a Planning Vision and Strategy Transcending 2030 now in progress and include the relevant planning studies on the Lantau Tomorrow Vision and the proposed strategic transport corridors in the study
主席，在安全城市方面，香港早前接連發生升降機意外事故，造成人命傷亡，升降機的安全隱患引起市民的廣泛關注。
President on the development of a safe city the recent successive lift accidents in Hong Kong involving casualties have aroused widespread public concern about potential lift safety hazards
我曾多次聯繫業界人士及官員與經民聯議員開會，力促當局盡快拆除這個潛在的都市炸彈。
I have invited industry practitioners and officials to meet with BPA Members many times and we have strongly urged the authorities to remove this potential bomb from the community as soon as possible
經民聯更建議政府撥款成立"升降機安全更新大行動專項基金"，向有需要的大廈業主立案法團及業主提供部分資助，用作升降機維修、更新或更換。
BPA has even proposed that the Government should allocate funding for setting up a dedicated fund for conducting a lift safety enhancement campaign and providing needy owners corporations and also property owners with partial subsidies for lift repair modernization or replacement
我樂於看到政府宣布推出25億元的優化升降機資助計劃。
I am glad to hear the Governments announcement of introducing a 2.5 billion Lift Modernisation Subsidy Scheme
我期待當局盡快啟動該計劃，並且為有需要的業主提供工程及法律知識上的支援，同時增撥資源培訓技術人員，鼓勵更多年輕人士入行。
I hope the authorities can expeditiously activate the scheme and provide engineering and legal knowledge support to property owners in need while also allocating additional resources for the purpose of training up skilled workers and encouraging more young people to join this trade
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持李慧琼議員的致謝議案。
With these remarks President I support the Motion of Thanks proposed by Ms Starry LEE
代理主席，行政長官在今次施政報告中提到"香港擁有豐厚的財政儲備，政府有責任取諸社會，用諸社會，為未來投資"。
Deputy President the Chief Executive mentioned in this Policy Address that With our ample fiscal reserves it is the Governments responsibility to use resources derived from the community for the good of the community invest for the future
說得沒錯，簡直值得拍案叫好。
Thats right and worth praising
但是，何謂"為未來投資"呢？
But what is meant by investing for the future?
但我認為最重要的，是我們要讓下一代生 活在一個感受到政府關心的社會中，令他們對未來有希望。
The most important thing in my opinion is that we let our next generation live in a society in which the care of the Government can be felt so that they have hope for the future
我們的基本概念很簡單：假設庫房有1萬億元，那便撥出10%給下一代，成立1千億元的儲備金，然後在每年財政有盈餘的時候，再撥出一定的百分比給下一代。
Our basic concept is very simple . Assuming that there is 1 trillion in the Treasury 10 % of the amount will be allocated to the next generation by setting up a reserve of 100 billion . When there is surplus in the fiscal year a certain percentage will be allocated for the next generation
這些錢可以一直滾存，將來有必要時便可以使用，甚或將來可以與強積金合併。
The money will be rolled over and used in the future if necessary or even merged with the MPF
這個構想是一個為新生代由出生到年長階段建立資產的全面計劃，目的是改善每一名參加者的人生機會，不會窮者越窮，富者越富。
This idea is a comprehensive plan for building assets for the new generations from birth to their old age with the aim to improve the chances of each participant in life instead of having the poor the poorer and the rich the richer
我們希望透過累積資產，令下一代更懂得生涯規劃，為自己的前途籌劃，覺得人生有希望。
We hope that by accumulating assets the next generation will better understand career planning and chart their future so that they can feel the hope in life
早在2001年，新加坡便已有類似的計劃，而到目前為止，參與率達到97%，證明計劃非常受家長歡迎，以及能夠為兒童的長遠發展提供足夠的支援。
Singapore established a similar plan in as early as 2001 and so far the participation rate reached 97 % which proves that the plan is very popular with parents and can provide sufficient support for the long - term development of children
我提出的"新生代嬰兒基金"，其實是一個一生一世的資產累積計劃，在有需要時，亦可用於教育或醫療，甚至用作置業。
The New Generation Baby Fund I propose is actually a lifelong asset accumulation plan . It can also be used for education medical care or even home ownership if and when required
正如特首所 說，香港的庫房豐厚，政府有責任取諸社會、用諸社會。
As the Chief Executive has said with ample fiscal reserves it is the Governments responsibility to use resources derived from the community for the good of the community
我希望政府可以為未來投資，不論政府投資多少金錢在興建大橋、道路、填海、建樓上，請留一部分金錢直接投資在下一代身上，給下一代一個希望。
I hope that the Government can invest in the future . No matter how much money the Government invests in building bridges and roads reclamation and construction of buildings some money should be saved up for investing directly in the next generation to give them hope
當他們長大後，便知道政府已經準備了一個戶口，裏面的資金足以讓他們做自己想做的事情。
When they grow up they will know that the Government has prepared an account with enough funds for them to do what they want
我希望政府能夠盡快成立一個支援個人長遠發展的"新生代嬰兒基金"計劃。
I hope that the Government can set up promptly the New Generation Baby Fund program which will support the long - term development of individuals
代理主席，接下來我想說另一件事，這件事是關於生命的問題。
Deputy President next I want to talk about another matter which is about life
其實，我們很多人都問，生命的意義是甚麼？
In fact many of us ask What is the meaning of life?
有人說，生命的意義是延續生命；亦有人說，生命的意義是用來做一些對社會有益的事；更有人說，生命的意義，是要幫助有需要的人。
Some people say that the meaning of life is to continue life; others say that the meaning of life is that it can be used to do something good for society; some even say that the meaning of life is to help those in need
這句話正正是政府經常說的：錢是用來幫助最有需要的人。
This sentence is exactly what the Government often says Money should be spent on helping those most in need
答案就是當病患者站在生死邊緣，或是生不如死、等待政府給予一條救命草的時候。
The answer is that when the sick are on the verge of life or death or would rather die than live waiting for the Government to give a life - saving straw
舉例而言，癌病說得上是一個讓人站在生死邊緣的病症。
For example cancer is said to be a disease that makes people stand on the verge of life and death
一個人假如不幸患上癌病，是生是死完全取決於政府的醫療政策，完全取決於政府如何幫助他這個有需要的人。
The life of a person suffering from cancer depends entirely on the Governments medical policy . It depends entirely on how the Government can help him
現時香港沒有乳癌篩查，有很多女性是在發現乳房有硬塊時才去求醫，到確診時已是2期或3期，甚至是末期，需要即時開刀做手術、接受化療、電療。
Many women seek medical treatment only when they find that there are lumps in their breasts . They are already in Phase 2 or Phase 3 or even in the terminal phase when they are diagnosed . They need surgery chemotherapy and electrotherapy immediately
有幸申請到資助的患者，可服食標靶藥。
Those who are fortunate enough to apply for subsidy can take targeted therapy drugs
