現在我們希望保安員證明事實，不是證明《條例》是否適用於議員，這點應留待法官判決，不是由郭榮鏗議員判決，亦不是由反對派議員判決，而是由法官判決。
Now we hope that the security staff can prove the fact not to prove whether PP Ordinance is applicable to Members . This is an issue which should be left to the courts judgment . It should be judged by the Court not by Mr Dennis KWOK or the opposition Members
他們並非第一次，之前數次沒有報案，是因為立法會說不報案，由保安員自行報案，你叫他們怎樣報案？
It is not the first time for them to do so . It happened several times before but no report was made to the Police as the Legislative Council decided not to do so and asked the security staff to report the cases by themselves . How could they report the cases?
既然已經報案，案件已經交由法院審理，當然要有證人和證據。
Given that a report has been made the case is brought before the Court for trial so witnesses and evidence would certainly be involved
張超雄議員今天動議這項議案，正正是想掩蓋證據，不准別人說，就是這麼簡單的事。
Dr Fernando CHEUNG moves this motion today which is exactly an attempt to cover up the evidence and prohibit others from saying anything . The matter is that simple
他們說到天花龍鳳，提到數十個甚麼法理，完全不是那回事。
They uttered a bunch of bull mentioned dozens of so - called jurisprudence but that is completely irrelevant
提供證據是為了證明事實，保安員說的是事實，他們亦不懂法理，只是說出當日的親身經歷，將看到的事說出來，何必說到這麼複雜？
Giving evidence seeks to prove the fact . The security staff would tell the truth . As they know nothing about jurisprudence they would only talk about their personal experience on that day and state what they observed
這就是反對派議員一直以來慣用的混水摸魚手法。
What is the point of making it so complicated? . This is exactly the long - standing practice adopted by the opposition Members to fish in troubled waters
你說這件事，他卻和你說另一件事，把事情搞混，令人根本無法知道他們在說甚麼，令整個辯論議題不知道是在討論甚麼，因為他們無法就真正的議題提出理據，就是這麼簡單。
When you are talking about something they would discuss with you another issue so as to cause confusion and make it impossible for others to know what they are talking about so that people would not know what is being discussed in respect of the entire debate subject . It is because they are unable to put forward any justifications on the real topic . It is that simple
他們提到英國議會的議長不會把議員趕走，可是英國議會的議員較香港立法會議員紳士很多。
They mentioned that the Speaker of the British Parliament would not order Members to be withdrawn from the Chamber . Yet Members of the British Parliament make much of a gentleman than Members of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong
我以往一直說，香港立法會的《議事規則》 是以前英國人留下的，是用來管君子、管紳士，而不是管"爛仔"。
I have always said previously that the Rules of Procedure RoP of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong was passed down by the British people in the past and it is used to manage men of honour and gentlemen but not gangsters
現時香港的立法會是"爛仔化"、"流氓化"，所以為何要修改《議事規則》，理由就是這麼簡單。
Nowadays some Members of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong are acting like gangsters and rogues . The reason for amending RoP is just that simple
主席，我謹此陳辭，反對張超雄議員的議案，而我亦希望張超雄議員作為工黨的代表，應該反省一下他如何對待僱員。
With these remarks President I disapprove of Dr Fernando CHEUNGs motion . I also hope that Dr Fernando CHEUNG being the representative of the Labour Party could do some introspection on how he treats the employees
主席，今天的原議案和8項修正案是關於教育政策，涉及的範圍和層面非常廣泛，不容易聚焦討論，因此我唯有重點回應其中數點。
President todays original motion and the eight amendments thereto are related to education policies covering a wide range of areas and issues . As it is not easy to target all of them in our discussion I will only focus on responding to a few points
自由黨同意必須紓緩學生和家長的壓力，特別認同須正視社會充斥着家長過度催迫子女成績的風氣。
The Liberal Party agrees that it is necessary to alleviate the pressure on students and parents particularly the need to squarely address the prevalent trend in society that parents put excessive pressure on their children over academic achievements
去年10月，自由黨在施政報告討論時，大膽向行政長官提出一項建議，便是由政府推動本港學校取消中小學的分數評級制度，改以等級評估，旨在減輕家長攀比分數的惡習，從而注入"求學不是求分數"的氛圍。
In October last year during the debate on the Policy Address the Liberal Party boldly put forward a suggestion to the Chief Executive urging the Government to replace the score - based grading system of all secondary and primary schools in Hong Kong with grade - based assessment which seeks to eliminate the undesirable practice of parents comparing scores so as to create an atmosphere emphasizing that learning is more than scoring
說到底，要改變社會學習文化就是沒有快速的方法，但大家應盡量在各層面和各範圍多做一步。
After all while there is not any fast track to changing the societys culture of learning it is necessary for us to take one more step at all levels and in all areas as far as practicable
可是，這不代表我們要走到另一個極端，連客觀的評估制度也取消。
However this does not mean that we have to go to another extreme by scraping the objective assessment system
對於取消小三全港性系統評估 的建議，自由黨過往和現在也有保留。
At present as in the past the Liberal Party has reservations about the suggestion to scrap the Primary 3 Territory - wide System Assessment TSA
這個制度本來是為本港小學生教育水平的差異情況收集數據，有助我們了解學生的學習能力，從而協助制訂教學策略。
The original intent of TSA was to collect data on the differences in the education level of Hong Kong primary students which will help us better understand the learning ability of students thereby formulating teaching strategies
成績不佳，當局其實應該增撥資源和支援隊伍幫助學校、老師和學生，令他們不但不用擔心"被殺"，反而更會歡迎當局的評估。
To help those schools with low academic achievement the authorities should in fact allocate additional resources and send support teams to help their teachers and students so that they will not worry about their school being closed down and will instead welcome assessments by the authorities more readily
正正是這項政策的原意，讓我看不到取消小三評估的理由。
It is precisely due to this policys original intent that I see no reason to scrap the Primary 3 assessment
如果小三不做評估，便無法得知學生水平，那麼又怎可以利用其後3年的時間改善教與學呢？
If no assessment is conducted at Primary 3 it will be impossible to gauge the level of students . In that case how can improvement in teaching and learning be made in the next three years?
到小六時學生已預備離開學校，屆時才做評估又有甚麼作用？
Students will be poised to leave their school after Primary 6 . What will be the use if assessment is conducted at that time?
雖然有建議認為可改以自願性質參加考試，但自願參加的可能都是成績不錯的一批學生，於是評估最終便只會形同虛設。
Although it has been suggested that schools can participate in the assessment on a voluntary basis the students who will join voluntarily will likely be those who are academically strong . Then the assessment will end up being virtually useless
至於原議案指當局應推動更多津貼學校引入適量的國際課程，以增加家長和學生的選擇，其實我早在數年前已提出類似建議。
The original motion has stated that the authorities should encourage more subsidized schools to introduce a suitable proportion of international curriculum to give parents and students more choices . In fact I made a similar suggestion already a few years ago
當時我發現國際學校的學額供不應求，便建議政府藉縮班時考慮讓本地學校利用騰出的校舍開班，參考外國引入國際課程和本地課程混合的做法，從而提供另一個就讀國際課程的途徑。
Back then after I had noticed a short supply of school places of international schools I suggested that the Government consider allowing local schools to operate new classes by drawing reference from overseas practice of combining international and local curricula in premises vacated as a result of the cutting of classes thereby offering another channel for studying international curriculum
當然，我理解這做法有其實質困難，原因是國際課程的收費不便宜，而且津貼學校現有的前線老師缺乏教授國際課程的經驗，未有足夠能力應付相關的教學工作。
Of course I understand the practical difficulties in implementing this proposal because the fees for international curriculum are hardly on the low side and incumbent frontline teachers of subsidized schools who lack experience in teaching international curriculum will not be capable of taking up the relevant teaching duties
故此，自由黨認為相關建議在執行上需要更周全的考慮，才不會適得其反。
Hence the Liberal Party considers it necessary to give more careful consideration to the proposal before its implementation or it will only end up being counter - productive
我亦想稍提我有份參與管理的學校，在10多年前便已決定採用IB課程。
I would also like to briefly mention the school of which I am part of the management . The school decided to offer IB programmes more than 10 years ago
我想有關課程已經辦了十年八載，但多年來我們都是虧蝕的，因為始終任用教師以至教授課程，都是很困難的工作，難以達至收支平衡。
As I understand it the programmes have been operated for almost a decade but over the years we have been running a loss because it is very difficult to recruit teachers for teaching the programmes making it difficult to attain a breakeven
至於原議案的另一個重點是落實多元教育。
Another focal point of the original motion is to implement diversified education which is undeniably justified
這是毋庸置疑的，但必須從長計議，按部就班，以免落得如2000年的教改般，反而引發更多怨氣。
However it is essential to consider thoroughly and adopt a step - by - step approach in order to avoid a repeat of the education reform in 2000 which had ended up triggering more grievances
自由黨認同配合世界趨勢，擴大STEM的教育內容，甚至引入全人發展的STEAM，即是在科學、科技、工程及數學的課程加入藝術的範疇。
To cope with the world trend the Liberal Party supports enriching the content of STEM education and even introducing STEAM by adding the Art subject to STEM for whole - person development
不過，擴大有關的教育內容不止是簡單地加上其他單一的科目範疇，而是關乎更多的跨學科和跨領域的知識，強調學科間的融會貫通，當中涉及增加教師人手，加強教師培訓及支援，統籌更多相關教育活動等，故此，必須有資源上的配合才能成事。
However enriching the content of the relevant education should not be limited to simply adding an additional subject . It should involve more multi - disciplinary and cross - domain knowledge with an emphasis on integration and interplay among the subjects . This proposal involves the addition of teaching staff stepping up teacher training and support coordination of more education - related activities etc
另一個自由黨想提出的重點是本港必須加強職業教育，為學生提供不同的出路。
Therefore only with the availability of resources can the proposal be realized . Another important point which the Liberal Party would like to raise is the need for Hong Kong to step up vocational education to provide students with different career paths
因此，我們不反對取消副學士課程，但認為當局應將資源轉向加強發展職業專才教育。
Hence we do not oppose scraping associate degree programmes . However we consider it necessary for the authorities to divert the resources to stepping up the development of vocational and professional education and training
據了解，當局已按人力需求殷切的行業，資助學生修讀指定範疇的全日制經本地評審的自資學士學位課程。
It has been learnt that the authorities have in the light of industries with keen manpower demands subsidized students to take full - time self - financing locally accredited degree programmes on specified subjects
但是，自由黨認為可考慮涵蓋更多以實驗室為本的課程，以配合市場需求及推動STEM的教育工作。
However the Liberal Party is of the view that the authorities may consider including more laboratory - based programmes to meet market demand and promote STEM education
與此同時，當局必須強化高級文憑的職業定位，增加再實習培訓的機會，優化課程內容，令畢業生在迎合市場方面更具優勢。
Meanwhile the authorities must strengthen the vocational positioning of high diploma increase opportunities for internship and retraining and optimize curriculum with a view to raising graduates competitiveness in the market
我認為當局應盡快撥亂反正，為中產家長引入學前教育學券，補助他們的年幼子女選讀私立獨立幼稚園。
In my view the authorities should expeditiously rectify the situation by introducing pre - primary education vouchers to subsidize middle - class parents to enrol their young children in private independent kindergartens
學券制優勝之處便是由家長決定資源分配，發揮市場力量，亦為私立獨立幼稚園提供誘因，提升教育質素。
The voucher scheme is desirable in that parents can make decision on the allocation of resources by bringing market forces into play and private independent kindergartens can be incentivized to raise education quality
首先，感謝李慧琼議員動議今天這項議案。
First of all I would like to thank Ms Starry LEE for moving this motion today
原議案促請政府落實多元教育的方針，以啟發學生創意，培養他們多元志趣和技能，並消除應試文化等，值得支持。
The original motion is worth supporting because it urges the Government to among others implement a diversified education approach to inspire students creativity and cultivate diverse interests and skills in them and eliminate the examination - oriented culture
談及教育，每個人都感受良多，因為人人都曾經接受教育，又或有教育子女的經驗。
Speaking of education everybody will have strong feelings because we have all been educated or have the experience of teaching our own children
於是，我在大學選修了多個數學科目。
As I did pretty well in school throughout the years I decided to take some Mathematics courses in university
報告第四章題為"展望未來"，當中有清晰結論，認為必須改變香港偏重"考試主導"的文化。
The Report made a clear conclusion in Chapter 4 entitled Looking Ahead that the examination - oriented culture must be changed
報告亦提到，大學收生主要考慮香港中學文憑考試成績的現行做法應該改變。
The Report also pointed out that the current practice of focusing primarily on examination results of the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education DSE Examination in university admission should be changed
這一點正好呼應李慧琼議員在辯論開始時建議引入不同國際課程的意見。
This point actually echoes with the view given by Ms Starry LEE at the beginning of the debate that various international curricula should be introduced
我認為現在做家長頗為無奈。
Parents nowadays are quite helpless in my view
主席，"落實多元教育紓緩學生及家長壓力"的辯題，其實在這個議會已經多次重複討論。
President Implementing diversified education to alleviate the pressure on students and parents is actually a subject which has been discussed by the Council for a few times
在每次的討論中，大家都向教育局提出很多意見，但我們似乎依然看見考試主導的現象。
Although we put forward a lot of opinions to the Education Bureau in each of our previous discussions it seems that the examination - oriented phenomenon is there
我昨天出席了一項活動，聽到5區學校的校長指出基本問題。
When I attended a function yesterday I heard school principals from five different districts stating the root problems
不過，每間學校和每個校區的實際狀況顯然並不相同，但我們的特區政府卻追求一致，要求每區的學校以相同標準增加學額。
While the actual circumstances obviously vary between schools and between school districts our SAR Government looks forward to consistency and has asked schools in different districts to increase their places according to the same set of criteria
剛才很多同事也提到自己身為"虎媽"或"虎爸"的經驗，但追本尋源，為何會出現"虎媽"、"虎爸"？
Just now a number of colleagues talked about their personal experience as tiger parents . Yet looking back to the root cause we must ask Where do tiger parents come from?
如何能夠解開他們帶給教育制度的壓力，以正本清源的方式處理？
How can we get to the bottom of this problem and take away the pressure that tiger parents put on our education system?
"虎媽"及"虎爸"追求子女成績出類拔萃，結果將子女的大部分時間投放在學習之上。
As tiger parents demand their children to achieve academically the children have to spend most of their time studying
以我之見，方法是順應兒童的成長過程，根據每個階段適合他們的成長內容，為他們提供配套，這才是務實的做法。
In my opinion the most practical approach is to let children learn things that suit their natural development at each stage and provide them with supporting measures
我覺得這是最重要的，因為如果我們只以成績作為是否好學生的單一標準，這其實很有問題。
It is really problematic if we take academic results as the sole criterion for being good students
就連林鄭月娥也說要擺脫精英主義，要避免以她那種傲慢的態度處理問題。
Even Carrie LAM said that we should get rid of elitism to avoid being arrogant like her when dealing with problems
今次林卓廷議員及尹兆堅議員的案件，源自梁君彥主席在審議"一地兩檢"時所出現的種種不公平裁決，立法會亦是有史以來第一次以"妨礙正在執行職責的立法會人員"罪來對付立法會議員，以圖阻止議員表達意見。
The case of Mr LAM Cheuk - ting and Mr Andrew WAN is the result of President Mr Andrew LEUNGs unfair rulings during the vetting of the legislation on co - location arrangement . For the first time in the Legislative Councils history the offence of obstruction of public officers in carrying out enforcement action was invoked against Members to stop them from expressing their views
當然，梁君彥任主席以來，在會議廳上主持會議的方法，是一次又一次地立下了非常惡劣的先例，亦看到他"有權用到盡"。
Since Mr Andrew LEUNG assumed office as President of course he has set one bad precedent after another in the way he presides over meetings in this Chamber and how he exhausts every power available to him
我相信眾多同事，特別是民主派的同事，對梁君彥作為主席感到非常不滿。
I believe that a lot of Honourable colleagues especially colleagues in the democratic camp are very dissatisfied with the presidency of Mr Andrew LEUNG
我只會說，在未來的日子裏，梁主席的所作所為將會寫在歷史上，讓人們看到在短短數年間，他所帶領的立法會令到大家在議事堂根本不能議事論事。
I can only say that the doings of President LEUNG will be recorded in history for people to see how within the few years under his leadership the Legislative Council has become a place where Members cannot discuss issues
林卓廷議員及尹兆堅議員作為立法會議員，當時根本在履行議員的職務，而林議員只是抗議梁君彥主席的裁決，尹議員更只是提出規程問題，並想提出理據，指出主席裁決不公道之處。
At the time of the incident Mr LAM Cheuk - ting and Mr Andrew WAN were discharging their duties as legislators . Mr LAM was merely protesting against the ruing of President Mr Andrew LEUNG while Mr WAN was simply raising a point of order in an attempt to explain the unfairness in the Presidents ruling
最重要的是，他根本沒有與保安衝突，亦沒有任何意圖令他們受傷。
Most importantly he did not clash with the security guards nor did he have any intention to cause harm to them
他們確確實實、清清楚楚地在執行職務，而多年來從立法局到立法會，這種做法一直都是行之已久的。
It is crystal clear that they were discharging their duties and such practice has long existed for years throughout the history of the Legislative Council
然而，梁君彥主席的裁決粗暴及缺乏理據，為了完成"一地兩檢"的政治任務，無理地把持不同意見的議員趕離場。
President Mr Andrew LEUNGs rulings were brutal and unfounded . In order to accomplish his political mission relating to the co - location arrangement he unreasonably evicted Members of opposing views
如果這成為一個先例的話，只要梁君彥主席要求議員做任何事而議員不肯聽從的話，他就可以請保安人員迫使議員行事；議員若不聽從，就是阻止保安執行職務，會如林卓廷議員及尹兆堅議員般，面臨"妨礙立法會人員執行職務"的檢控。
If this sets a precedent President Mr Andrew LEUNG will send security officers upon Members who disobeys his requests to enforce them; and those who disobey would be deemed obstructing security officers in carrying out their duties and will face prosecution for obstructing public officers in carrying out enforcement action just like Mr LAM Cheuk - ting and Mr Andrew WAN
如果是這樣的話，梁君彥主席往後只要出動保安人員，無論指令是多麼瘋狂、不合理，議員若不接受，就會面臨刑事檢控。
If that becomes the case President Mr Andrew LEUNG will be able to enforce his orders through security officers no matter how crazy and unreasonable they may be . If Members refuse to comply they would face criminal prosecution
這次檢控明顯就是政府政治打壓的行為。
The prosecution is obviously an act of political suppression by the Government
先前利用選舉主任"DQ"議員，今次則利用保安人員打壓議員，這種劣行必定會受到市民唾棄。
Previously it deployed the Returning Officer to disqualify lawmakers and this time it deployed the security officers to suppress Members . Such despicable acts will surely be spurned by the people
縱使面對政治打壓，但由於此案件本身牽涉到民主黨成員、議員，為免出現利益衝突，我們決定對議案投棄權票。
Although in the face of political oppression considering that this case involves members and legislators of the Democratic Party we have decided to abstain from voting in order to avoid any conflict of interest
但是，由於此事對立法會影響非常深遠，民主黨一定會奮戰到底，不會屈服於梁君彥主席這種卑劣行為，亦一定會請歷史記着梁君彥你作為主席的無能、無耻的行為。
However since the incident will have a profound impact on the Council the Democratic Party will fight until the end and it will not succumb to the despicable acts of President Mr Andrew LEUNG . Mr Andrew LEUNG your incompetent and shameless behaviour as President will surely be recorded in history
代理主席，張超雄議員提出"拒絕給予許可"的議案，反對讓立法會秘書處和保安同事就一宗案件提供證據。
Deputy President Dr Fernando CHEUNG has proposed the motion that the leave be refused objecting to colleagues of the Legislative Council Secretariat and the Security Office giving evidence in a case
對於這些行為，我相信很多同事均不表認同。
I believe a number of Honourable colleagues disapprove of such behaviour
我與梁君彥主席相識多年，其處事作風向來低調嚴謹，以中立的立場作出每個決定，而對不守規則的人包括立法會的議員同事，他絕不姑息。
I have a long acquaintance with President Andrew LEUNG . He is a low - key person known for his meticulousness and maintaining neutrality in making every decision with no tolerance for rule - breakers including Honourable colleagues of the Legislative Council
如果因他處事不夠寬鬆和不滿他依規矩辦事而口出惡言，說盡涼薄的話，把他當成"沙包"或"出氣袋"，我認為真的很不公道。
I think it is grossly unfair of them to take it out on him with torrents of harsh words and mean remarks as if he were a sandbag or punch bag just because they are offended by his lack of leniency and adherence to rules
代理主席，立法會主席根據《議事規則》維持議會的秩序和規則。
Deputy President the President of the Legislative Council upholds the order and rules of the Council in accordance with the Rules of Procedure
面對一些不守規矩和秩序、行徑橫蠻和阻撓會議進行的議員，保安人員只是執行主席的裁決。
Confronted by those Members who refuse to follow rules and order act in a barbaric manner and interfere with the proceedings of the Council the security staff only act on the rulings of the President
這些反對派議員卻百般阻撓，過往亦曾擲物和衝擊議事堂，難道可以容許這類行為在議會內發生嗎？
Those Members from the opposition camp however obstructed it in every way such as throwing objects and storming the Chamber in the past . Can we possibly condone such behaviour in the Council?
他們經常提到外國文明議會的種種情況，但卻不反省自己在議會內作出的不文明行為，況且市民亦認為並不妥當。
While they keep mentioning things about those civilized legislatures overseas they do not reflect on their own uncivilized behaviour in the Council which members of the public also consider improper
我們剛才聽到一些議員的發言，可謂"狗口長不出象牙"。
We have heard the speeches of some Members just now and it seems that we can hardly expect a decent word from their filthy mouth
他們聲稱要保護動物權益，卻以"狗"侮辱人，其心腸之惡毒確實令人髮指。
While claiming that we should protect animal rights they have used the word dog to insult others . Their wicked hearts have really made our blood boil
他們經常說《立法會條例》旨在保護議員的發言，需要保障言論自由，但《條例》並非保障他們以言論自由的幌子侮辱他人。
They always say that the Legislative Council Ordinance seeks to protect the speeches made by Members given the need to protect freedom of speech but the Ordinance does not serve as a shield for them to insult others under the guise of freedom of speech
我們更感憤怒的是，有議員剛才說不知道立法會保安人員會否扮受傷，又說他們只是為了糊口，我認為對我們的保安人員是很大的侮辱。
What infuriates us even more is an earlier remark of a Member that it was not known whether the security staff of the Legislative Council faked their injuries and they just did it for a pay cheque . I consider it a downright insult to our security staff
反對派議員經常說要尊重司法獨立，香港每名市民也有責任和公民義務出庭作出真確陳述。
Members from the opposition camp have long been preaching the need to respect judicial independence . It is the responsibility and civic obligation of every member of the public in Hong Kong to give an authentic statement in court
現在有自己人面對指控，他們便包庇自己人，這是否雙重標準？
Now they harbour their cronies who are facing allegations . Is this a double standard?
最後，代理主席，我想說的是立法會議員的職責是監察政府，而非癱瘓施政。
Lastly Deputy President what I wish to say is that it is the duty of Members of the Legislative Council to monitor the Government instead of paralysing it
市民期望我們開會，而非製造混亂、任意推撞保安人員，甚至製造流會。
Members of the public expect us to attend meetings instead of creating chaos shoving the security staff arbitrarily or even causing the meetings to be aborted
如果大家可以多做實事，我相信已是議會之福，亦是市民之福。
I believe Members will do a great service to both the Council and the public by doing more solid work
我發言支持協助調查，反對由張超雄議員提出拒絕助查或拒絕讓立法會職員出庭作供的議案。
I rise to speak in support of assisting in the investigation and I disapprove of the motion proposed by Dr Fernando CHEUNG on refusing to assist in the investigation or to allow staff members of the Legislative Council to give evidence in court
事實上，討論至此，大家聽到反對派議員的發言基本上都是"失禮街坊"的，他們口出狂言，所說的事與事實不符且毫無關係。
In fact during our discussion up to this point what we heard from the speeches given by Members from the opposition camp are basically shoddy . Not only did they talk wildly what they said is totally untrue and irrelevant
事實上，大家都知道，協助調查只是想找出真相，所謂"真金不怕洪爐火"，如果他們把這項議案視為等於判兩位同事有罪，我認為這是無私顯見私。
In fact as we all know assisting in investigation aims merely at finding out the truth . As the saying goes True gold fears no fire . If they consider that this motion is equivalent to the conviction of two Honourable colleagues I would conceive that the more they try to hide the more they are exposed
另外，代理主席，反對派經常把言論自由搬出來作為"擋箭牌"，把言論自由用到cheap了，令言論自由簡直"賤過地底泥"。
In addition Deputy President the opposition camp often uses freedom of speech as their shield making freedom of speech so cheap to the extent that freedom of speech has become shabby . Dr Fernando CHEUNG mentioned the Legislative Council Ordinance
事實上，張超雄議員提及《立法會條例》，誠然，議員享有特權，無須為在議會內的發言承擔民事責任；此外，如果他觸犯刑事罪行，在執行職務期間不會被逮捕，但這不等於他觸犯刑事罪行亦不會被追究，請不要胡亂演繹。
It is true that Members enjoy the privilege of not having to bear civil liabilities for their speeches given in the legislature . In addition if a Member has committed a criminal offence he will not be liable to arrest whilst performing his duties . Yet this does not mean that no action would be taken against him if he has committed a criminal offence
再者，代理主席，言論自由本身是適用於守規矩和講德行的人。
Please do not make interpretation casually . Moreover Deputy President freedom of speech is applicable to people who are well - disciplined and keep moral standards in mind
因此，整套《議事規則》其實沒有偏頗，有些條文賦予主席權利，亦有些條文保障議員的基本權利。
Therefore the entire set of the Rules of Procedure RoP are not biased . It contains some provisions empowering the President and some other provisions protecting the basic rights of the Members
如果反對派議員只把當中保障議員的權利放至無限大，然後把主席主持議會的權力及維持議會秩序的責任都抹去，其實《議事規則》便等於沒有作用。
If Members from the opposition camp only exaggerate the protection of the rights of Members without bounds but then blot out the power of the President in chairing the Council and his responsibility in maintaining order in the legislature RoP would become useless
