所以，在時間表上，我們只希望港鐵公司盡快完成研究，並沒有一個既定的所謂"死線"，目的是把工作做好，把相關的考慮因素研究清楚，確保日後不論是局部或全面開通，都可以為市民提供優質的服務。
Therefore in terms of the timetable we only hope that MTRCL can finish the study as soon as possible . There is not a so - called deadline as the target is to get the job done properly and study in detail the related factors of consideration with a view to providing quality service to the public regardless of partial or full commissioning of SCL in future
多位議員剛才從不同角度討論管治問題，例如港鐵公司主席的責任、高層問題，以至其他多個例子，我不想重複。
Just now many Members discussed governance problems from various angles such as the duties of the MTRCL Chairman and also problems with its management while also citing many other examples . I do not intend to repeat them
田北辰議員的原議案提出有需要"督促港鐵公司定期檢討其更新信號系統的投資策略"，這或許是由於田北辰議員較為重視投資和金錢方面。
Mr Michael TIENs original motion raises the necessity of urging MTRCL to regularly review its investment strategy of updating the signalling system . The reason may be that Mr Michael TIEN is more concerned about the investment and money aspects
這是無法迴避的，我絕對不希望這些癱瘓事件成為我們的慣性集體回憶。
This is inevitable . I definitely do not want such transport paralyses to be routinely burned into our collective memory
過去在2013年、2014年及2017年，罰款數字超過2,000萬元，證明也癱瘓了不少次。
In the past namely in 2013 2014 and 2017 the fines exceeded 20 million in total proving that such paralysis had occurred many times
雖然政府現時是港鐵公司最大持份者，但我們也要從商業角度來思考。
Although the Government is currently the largest shareholder of MTRCL we should still think from a commercial perspective
其實營運的負責人及董事，縱使當中有些是我的朋友，但我也認為，整個董事局一定要受到扣減工資、扣減花紅等罰款處分，才能夠感到切膚之痛。
To be honest even though some of those in charge of the operation and the directors are my friends I hold that the whole Board of Directors should definitely be subject to sanctions such as deduction of their wages and bonuses before they can feel the pain themselves
究竟法律責任在哪裏？
Where exactly is the legal responsibility?
此外，工程師一定考慮安全問題，這點我不重複。
In addition engineers should definitely consider safety issues . I do not intend to repeat this point
可能我們聽得多也相信，現時這些所謂"醜聞"不會影響通車後的安全，但不能夠忽視public perception，這是很重要的。
Maybe after hearing so much we believe that these so - called scandals will not affect safety after commissioning but we cannot ignore public perception which is very important
我也勸諭過我很尊重的馬時亨主席，其實他為人很好，但出現這種問題後，還傳出政府希望他再續任3年的消息。
I have also given advice to Chairman Frederick MA whom I respect very much . In fact he is a very kind - hearted person . However in addition to problems of this sort news has it that the Government intends to extend his appointment for three years
為何不會有"第二把交椅"、"第三把交椅"接手呢？
Why are there no second in command and third in command available to succeed him?
港鐵公司的管治架構是否長期出現問題呢？
Is there a chronic problem with MTRCLs governance structure?
我覺得政府不可以只說這個人能幹，能夠解決問題，它有否考慮過公眾的感受呢？
I think the Government cannot just say that this person is competent and able to solve problems . Has it considered the publics feelings?
我也問過工程界的朋友，他們說不是，其實世界已改變，建造了這麼多條鐵路。
I have also asked some friends in the engineering sector . They said no . In fact the world has changed and so many railways have been built
當年只有禮頓，現在為何不可以招攬競爭呢？
In the past there was only Leighton . Nowadays why can we not introduce competition?
所以，我覺得市民真的不太明白。
Therefore I feel that the public do not quite get the point
即使港鐵公司解釋安全沒有問題，但大家現在對它已經失去以前的信任，代價相當大。
Even though MTRCL explained that there are no safety issues now that everyone has lost the trust in it the price to pay is rather high
我覺得在出現這些危機的時候，港鐵公司首先要做些好事，通過"可加可減"機制，以示自己真的有社會責任，真的"可加可減"。
I hold that in the event of such crisis MTRCL should first do something good through the Fare Adjustment Mechanism to show that it can truly fulfil its social responsibility with a genuine fare adjustment in either direction
受影響地區的市民，有些以前一直投訴，有些是今次沉降後才懂得投訴或求助的。
Some people in the affected areas have always complained before . Some have learned only from the current subsidence incident how to file complaints or seek assistance
用調解方法很合理，大家省回打官司的費用，向這些有困難的人士作出補償，讓他們維修房屋後再出售，他們便服氣，不會演變成一個"政治炸彈"。
It is very reasonable to go for mediation because all parties can save litigation costs to compensate those with difficulties so that they can have their flat repaired and then sell it . In so doing they get their grievance redressed and the crisis will not turn into a political bomb
所以，我覺得當局一定要記着，港鐵公司是香港唯一一間重要的交通樞紐機構，一定要考慮政治的問題，不單是工程方面。
Therefore in my view the authorities should definitely bear in mind that as MTRCL is the only important transport hub operator in Hong Kong it is essential to consider political issues rather than just engineering problems
我希望局長今次聽得明白，聽得懂，而且真的為港鐵公司的管治架構帶來一個突破性改革。
I hope that the Secretary understands clearly my speech this time and will introduce a breakthrough reform to MTRCLs governance structure
主席，我首先想回應田北辰議員。
President first I wish to respond to Mr Michael TIEN
他很開心地說政府聽取了他的意見，興建東大嶼人工島時，會一併興建多一條由新界西直達市區的鐵路，這是他一直倡議的。
He said he was happy as the Government had heeded his view and proposed to build a new railway line connecting the New Territories West and the city in the course of building an artificial island in Lantau East which is something he has been advocating all along
他之前說，如果政府不肯答應這一點，他會反對所有新界西的發展項目。
He said earlier that if the Government rejected his view he would vote against all development projects in the New Territories West
他引用發展錦田南作為例子，說他投下了反對票。
He cited the development of Kam Tin South as an example and said that he had voted against it
我翻查財務委員會及工務小組委員會的紀錄，田議員在兩次會議投票都是缺席的，並沒有投下反對票。
I have checked the records of the Finance Committee and Public Works Subcommittee . Since he was absent from the voting process of the two meetings he has therefore not voted against it
此外，田議員現時不斷說，新界西居民希望有多一條鐵路直達市區，所以要支持東大嶼萬億元的工程。
Besides now Mr TIEN keeps on saying that as residents in the New Territories West want to have a railway line connecting urban areas directly therefore he has to support the trillion dollar East Lantau development project
我覺得我們萬萬不能隨便接受這種說法，這是引領新界西居民走向錯誤方向的說法。
I consider that we should never casually accept such an idea because it is something which will lead residents in the New Territories West to a wrong path
第二，今天聽到很多同事批評香港鐵路有限公司各方面的問題，批評時兇狠，但調查時卻表現"鵪鶉"。
Secondly today the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL came under a barrage of fierce criticism from many Members for various problems but these Members turned cowardly when it came to the investigation of MTRCL
現時辯論這項無約束力的議案，大家卻高聲批評，希望大家不要說時兇狠，調查時"鵪鶉"。
Now while we are debating this non - binding motion Members criticized loudly but I hope Members will unleash strong verbal criticism only and turn cowardly when it comes to investigation
第三是整體公共運輸政策以"鐵路為本"。
The third is the overall public transport policy which is based on a railway - oriented concept
回看數字，這三大公共運輸政策帶來的結果是，使用2008年至2018年的數據作為例子，香港的人口在這10年間增加了6%，但港鐵的乘客量已經由每天350萬人次增加至500萬人次。
As far as the results of three major public transport policies are concerned according to the data recorded between 2008 and 2018 Hong Kongs population has grown by 6 % but MTRCLs patronage has increased from 3.5 million passenger trips a day to 5 million passenger trips a day
港鐵公司本身是香港最大的怪胎，明明他們使用的土地是公共資源，他們以最低廉或根本是政府批給他們的土地來興建鐵路等，但他們卻不是真的為了公共服務。
MTRCL itself is the greatest oddity in Hong Kong . Apparently the land they are using is a public resource granted or given at a minimal price to them by the Government for the construction of railways and things . However they are actually not serving the public
港鐵公司"左騰右騰"，但誰才是他們真正的服務對象？
MTRCL bustles around but who should they actually serve?
抑或她要看重北京的老闆，他佔25%？
Well would you say that she considers Hong Kong people as that 75 % or that she puts great store by the boss in Beijing and the latter alone has a weighting of 25 % ?
剛才，鄭松泰議員提起一句曾幾何時我們耳熟能詳的口號："地下鐵路為你建造"。
Just now Dr CHENG Chung - tai mentioned MTR―A Railway For You a slogan which was once very familiar to us
港鐵公司弄得糾纏不清，於是，我們便在這種模糊的情況下討論港鐵公司的服務質素、企業管治、工程監管。
MTRCL has got these entangled and consequently we discuss its service quality corporate governance and supervision of works under such ambiguous circumstances
說真的，何謂獨立或不獨立呢？
To be honest what does it mean by independent or non - independent?
鐵路拓展很明顯是公共服務，如何將其獨立分拆出來？
Railway development obviously is a kind of public service so how can it be separated as an independent item?
大家的討論到這裏便告一段落，但大家說到的甚麼改善內部招標、工程管理通報機制，提升工程監管的要求，卻完全沒有解釋。
Our discussion will come to a close here but no explanation has ever been given at all regarding what we have mentioned such as improving the internal tendering system and the project management notification system and raising the requirements for supervision of the works
話說港鐵公司是一個"巨無霸"，這大家都知道。
MTRCL is said to be a giant as everyone knows
很多人沒有特別留意港鐵公司在海外的發展項目。
Many of us have not paid particular attention to the overseas development projects of MTRCL
我其實最想談的是港鐵公司的上蓋物業發展。
Actually what I want to discuss most is MTRCLs above - station property development
政府要求港鐵公司興建公共房屋。
The Government requests MTRCL to construct public housing
現在是政府政策決定用鐵路作為整個運輸系統的骨幹，並讓港鐵獨大。
Now the Government has made it a policy to use railway as the backbone of the entire transport system and grant MTRCL an overwhelmingly dominant role
有一項是"新項目"，下有"一般規定"，聽完後便會知道，原來政府是要擔保港鐵公司賺錢的，且讓我向代理主席唸出來。
An item therein is called New Projects under which there is General . After a listen you will come to know that the Government has to guarantee MTRCL will make money . Let me read it to Deputy President
"在符合《地鐵條例》的規定的前提下，已確認當承辦新項目及/或經營新鐵路時，本公司"當然不會是政府，而是合併後的港鐵公司"需要取得適當的商業回報率。
Subject to the MTR Ordinance it is acknowledged that when undertaking New Projects andor operating New Railways the Company―of course it would not be the Government but MTRCL after the merger―will require an appropriate commercial rate of return
政府同意除在若干情況下及除非有關各方就商業回報率達成協議，政府將不會要求本公司建造任何新項目及/或經營任何新鐵路。
The Government agrees that it will not require the Company to construct any New Project andor operate any New Railway except in certain circumstances and provided that the parties agree on the commercial rate of return
政府確認，為了令特定的新項目及/或新鐵路取得商業回報率，以及為了讓本公司能夠保持其財政狀況及業務，政府或需要就該等新項目及/或新鐵路提供財務及其他支持。
The Government acknowledges that in order for particular New Projects andor New Railways to make a commercial rate of return and in order for the Company to maintain its financial standing and profile financial and other support for those New Projects andor New Railways from the Government may be required
"這便是告訴大家，穩賺的一定是港鐵公司；我們作為小市民，只會被"食到入肉"。
Precisely this tells us that it is MTRCL who will surely make a profit and we as ordinary members of the public will only end up out of pocket
最明顯的當然是我現時手上的委託協議。
Most notable for this effect is of course the Entrustment Agreement currently in my hand
我不知道有多少議員曾看過委託協議，更不清楚局長是否願意安排少許時間翻一翻，因為上次蘇副局長沒有看過便胡亂回答問題，這是我上次在小組委員會已經指出的。
I have no idea how many Members have ever read the Entrustment Agreement nor even am I certain whether the Secretary is willing to spare some time to thumb through it given that last time Under Secretary SO gave uneducated answers to questions without having read it beforehand and I already pointed this out at the last Subcommittee meeting
首要指出的最大問題，是高鐵超支延誤。
The greatest problem to be pointed out first is the delays and cost overruns of XRL
由夏正民法官領導的專家小組在報告中也指出，這份委託協議是有問題的。
The expert panel led by Mr Justice HARTMANN has also pointed out in its report that the Entrustment Agreement is problematic
主席，田北辰議員動議的原議案，主旨是促請特區政府採取一些措施以重整香港鐵路有限公司的管治。
President the original motion moved by Mr Michael TIEN seeks to urge the SAR Government to adopt some measures to restructure the governance of the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL
作為一般原則，相信本會不同黨派議員對此不會有太大異議。
As a general principle I think Members from different political parties in this Council should not have much disagreement on this
畢竟，港鐵是本港公共交通運輸網絡的骨幹，日均客量達400多萬人次。
The MTR is after all the backbone of our public transport system with an average daily patronage of more than 4 million passengers
近年，港 鐵公司在服務質素、工程監管等方面出現的一些問題，引起了不少社會人士的關注。
MTRCLs problems in such areas as service quality and supervision of works in recent years have aroused concern among many members of the public
香港特區政府作為港鐵公司的大股東，無疑有責任優化對港鐵公司的監管，確保鐵路服務既便捷又安全。
The Hong Kong SAR Government as the majority shareholder of MTRCL undoubtedly has a responsibility of enhancing its supervision over MTRCL so as to ensure the provision of convenient efficient and safe railway services
港鐵沙田至中環線工程出現的一些問題，特別是紅磡站月台剪短鋼筋事件涉及公眾安全，引起社會廣泛關注，反映當局有必要加強政府作為港鐵公司大股東的角色和功能，在監管工程項目、優化企業管治等方面作出實質的改善。
Some problems with the works of the Shatin to Central Link SCL project undertaken by MTRCL especially the incident involving steel reinforcement bars being cut short at the platform of Hung Hom Station which has public safety implications have aroused widespread concern in the community pointing to the need for the Government to strengthen its role and functions as the majority shareholder of MTRCL in order to bring about concrete improvements in such areas as supervision of works and corporate governance
主席，如何改善整個監管架構，加強社會監管力度和透明度，以避免工程失誤和延誤呢？
President how should the entire supervisory framework be improved so as to enhance supervision by the community and transparency thereby avoiding blunders and delays in works?
如有嚴重的失誤或延誤，又如何適當處理和適時與公眾溝通呢？
In case of serious blunders or delays how should they be properly addressed and the relevant information be timely disseminated to the public?
這些都是政府與港鐵公司需要深入檢討和研究的問題。
These are the issues that the Government and MTRCL should review and examine thoroughly
眾所周知，行政長官會同行政會議在7月10日已通過成立獨立調查委員會，委任夏正民先生為主席兼委員，並委任倫敦大學學院建築和基礎建設政策教授Peter George HANSFORD為委員。
As we all know an independent Commission of Inquiry was appointed by the Chief Executive in Council on 10 July with Mr Michael John HARTMANN appointed the Chairman and Commissioner of the Commission and Professor Peter George HANSFORD Professor of Construction and Infrastructure Policy at University College London appointed the Commissioner
調查委員會已在10月22日展開正式聆訊。
Formal hearings by the Commission of Inquiry have already commenced on 22 October
至於調查委員會的職權範圍，首先當然是調查沙中線項目紅磡站擴建部分的連續牆及月台層板建造工程所出現的問題。
With regard to the terms of reference of the Commission of Inquiry it should of course first of all inquire into the facts and circumstances surrounding the concerns about public safety in respect of the diaphragm wall and platform slab construction works at the Hung Hom Station Extension under the SCL project
同時，調查委員會還有一個非常明確和清晰的重要職能，就是必須就港鐵公司的項目管理和監督制度、品質保證和品質控制制度、風險管理制度、工地施工監督和控制制度及程序、通報政府的制度、內部溝通及與各持份者溝通的制度和程序等，在各有關方面進行全面檢討。
At the same time another very precise clear and important function of the Commission of Inquiry is to comprehensively review the relevant aspects of MTRCLs project management and supervision system quality assurance and quality control system risk management system site supervision and control system and processes system on reporting to the Government system and processes for communication internally and with various stakeholders etc
調查委員會亦會檢視運輸及房屋局與路政署所採用的監察制度是否完備，並會審視屋宇署對鐵路設施建築工程的規管是否完備。
The Commission of Inquiry will also examine the adequacy of the monitoring mechanisms adopted by the Transport and Housing Bureau and the Highways Department and whether adequate control has been exercised by the Buildings Department over construction works undertaken in respect of railway facilities
調查委員會更會按調查所得結果建議適當的改善措施，以促進公眾安全和保證工程的質量。
Recommendations on the appropriate improvement measures will be made by the Commission of Inquiry in the light of its inquiry results with a view to promoting public safety and ensuring the quality of construction works
夏正民先生及Peter George HANSFORD教授的專業知識和調查經驗相當豐富，我期待獨立調查委員會能夠如期完成調查，並得出有建設性的建議，提升港鐵公司在施工管理和程序上的可追溯性和風險管理。
With their sound professional knowledge and rich experience in inquiry work I hope Mr HARTMANN and Prof Peter George HANSFORD will complete the work of the Commission of Inquiry on schedule and put forth constructive recommendations thereby enhancing MTRCLs systems on traceability and risk management in works supervision and processes
主席，關於如何優化港鐵公司的監管和匯報機制，以改善工程管理和企業，我過去在議會內外曾透過不同渠道向有關方面提出一些建議。
President with regard to the issue of how we should strengthen the supervision control and reporting systems of MTRCL to improve its works supervision and governance I have in fact put forward some proposals previously to the authorities concerned through different channels both inside and outside this Council
我認為其一，當局應增加委任資深工程專家進入港鐵公司董事局，以協助監督各個工程項目和進度；其二，政府需與港鐵公司研究新機制，以加強工程項目監管，優化重大事故的協調和處理等職能。
In my opinion the Government should firstly appoint more senior engineering experts to the Board of MTRCL to assist in the supervision of the implementation of various works and their progress; and secondly together with MTRCL study the establishment of new mechanisms to enhance supervision of various works and strengthen their functions in the coordination and handling of major incidents
特區政府作為港鐵公司的大股東，應考慮增派政府代表加入董事局。
As the majority shareholder of MTRCL the SAR Government should consider appointing more government representatives to the Board of MTRCL
了解業界運作的人士均覺得此舉是反應過敏，流於形式，只會增加額外的工作量，拖慢工程進度，以及減低工程施工運作的靈活性，對於工程安全和質量監控並沒有實質幫助。
People familiar with the operation of the sector consider this suggestion an overreaction nothing more than a mere formality which will only generate additional workload hinder work progress reduce the flexibility in the implementation of works without much no concrete help to the safety and quality control of works
此外，陸頌雄議員、陳恒鑌議員和郭家麒議員的修正案異口同聲要求引入懲罰機制，按港鐵公司的服務表現及工程監督質素扣減相關管理層的薪酬和獎金。
Furthermore Mr LUK Chung - hung Mr CHAN Han - pan and Dr KWOK Ka - ki have coincidentally proposed in their respective amendments that a penalty mechanism should be introduced under which remunerations and bonuses for the management of MTRCL should be deducted with reference to the service performance and quality of works supervision of MTRCL
我認為這些建議值得商榷，因為香港一直奉行自由市場運作的原則，港鐵公司亦是上市公司，上述問題只適宜由港鐵公司董事局或股東大會商討決定，任何外部干預均是不適當的。
I consider the idea questionable because Hong Kong has all along upheld the principles of a free market economy and given that MTRCL is a listed company the aforementioned matter should more appropriately be decided by the Board of MTRCL or shareholders meetings after discussions . Any external interventions will be undesirable
至於郭家麒議員的修正案提到特區政府應全數回購港鐵公司餘下的股份，以便特區政府和立法會一併監管港鐵公司的整體營運，這顯然是不切實際，不值一駁。
As for the proposal put forward by Dr KWOK Ka - ki in his amendment to buy back all the remaining shares of MTRCL so that the SAR Government and the Legislative Council can jointly monitor its overall operation this is obviously unrealistic and not worth refuting
主席，我認為特區政府確實需要回應社會的訴求，重整港鐵公司的管治，確保鐵路服務既便捷又安全。
President I think that the SAR Government does need to respond to social aspirations by restructuring the governance of MTRCL in order to ensure the provision of convenient efficient and safe railway services
對於田北辰議員的原議案及數位同事的修正案所提及的各項建議不妨參考，但卻不宜照單全收，尤其應認真審視有可能衍生的副作用。
We may take into account the proposals contained in Mr Michael TIENs original motion and the amendments moved by several fellow colleagues but it may not be appropriate to accept them in full and their potential side effects should be particularly examined
主席，我多謝今天有議員提出"重整港鐵公司管治"的議案。
President I thank the Member for moving the motion on Restructuring the governance of MTR Corporation Limited today
總結而言，就這項議案，我會支持郭家麒議員及林卓廷議員的修正案。
In conclusion regarding this motion I will support the amendments moved by Dr KWOK Ka - ki and Mr LAM Cheuk - ting
代理主席，聽完石議員的慷慨陳辭，他是香港鐵路有限公司的非執行董事，挺港鐵公司的主席，亦指田北辰議員以前參與管理鐵路時，也出現很多問題。
Deputy President after listening to Mr SHEKs eloquent speech we now know that he supports the Chairman of MTRCL in his capacity as a non - executive director of MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL . He also said that there were also many problems with the railway company when Mr Michael TIEN was in charge of this company
今次提出這項議案，是關於重整港鐵公司的管治。
This time around the motion is about restructuring the governance of MTRCL
其實，石禮謙議員在港鐵公司的管理層這麼久，他應該很清楚港鐵公司發展到今時今日的狀況。
In fact Mr Abraham SHEK has been in the management of MTRCL for such a long time he should know very well the current state of MTRCL
我剛才一直聆聽大家辯論，亦閱覽港鐵公司給議員的年報，當我翻開年報，便已經看到有關港鐵公司的目標及企業的策略，它要提高企業的聲譽，包括成為香港的驕傲，要打造國際品牌。
Just now I have been listening to Members debate and I have also read the annual report provided by MTRCL . When I leafed through the annual report I found its vision and corporate strategy . It seeks to enhance its corporate reputation become the pride of Hong Kong and build global brand
我在成長過程中，也看到地下鐵的建造，我曾經亦感到很驕傲，港鐵公司的服務快而準，香港可以有一個集體運輸系統，解決這個擠迫城市的交通問題。
In my youthful days I used to feel proud of the MTR as I had witnessed its construction . Since MTRCL provided fast and punctual services Hong Kong was able to solve the transport problem of such a crowded city through the mass transit railway system . However now we started to see botches and ageing problems of the hardware
港鐵公司的年報亦指出，要打造國際品牌。
The annual report of MTRCL also stated that the company has to build a global brand
如果在香港做得好，便衝出國際，這可擦亮這個招牌。
If the company performs well in Hong Kong it may go global and that will help build a reputable global brand
但是，現時出現事故，我不知道如何擦亮這個招牌？
However as some incidents have taken place I do not know how it can build this reputable brand
此外，港鐵公司的企業策略說要鞏固及拓展香港的業務，包括鐵路網絡、拓展非票務的業務，而非票務的業務是一個大範圍，當中包括廣告業務及地產業務，當然，還有推動鐵路現代化及信號系統更新等。
Furthermore as to MTRCLs corporate strategy it says that it aims at strengthening and growing the Hong Kong business . That includes expanding the network and growing non - fare businesses . Non - fare businesses certainly take up a major portion of its businesses including advertisement and property businesses
第三個企業策略最厲害，便是加快中國內地及國際業務的發展，要深化現有業務所在地區的業務基礎，要開拓新的業務地區，要探索物業發展的機遇。
Certainly modernizing MTR and upgrading its signalling systems are also included . The third corporate strategy is the most formidable one . It aims at accelerating Mainland China and International Business growth deepening presence in existing hubs developing new hubs and exploring property development opportunities in hubs
港鐵公司的業務範疇很闊，企業的發展策略也很廣，其業務範疇包括鐵路建造工程、車務營運、列車服務、信號系統，亦包括地產方面，例如上蓋物業的發展、商場和住宅物業管理，還有海外物業的發展項目。
MTRCL has a wide scope of businesses . It also has an extensive corporate development strategy . Its scope of business covers the construction of railway projects railway operations train services signalling system property businesses including property development projects above railway stations management of shopping malls and residential properties as well as overseas property development projects
所以，當市民購買港鐵公司的股份時，好像是購買鐵路股份，但它們實質上也是地產股。
For that reason when the public buy the shares of MTRCL on the surface they seem to have bought the shares of a railway company but in effect they have also bought the shares of a property development company
所以，如果一間公司在處理鐵路業務外，還要處理廣告和地產項目等，大家便要想想，它究竟有多少精力做好鐵路的營運、服務及鐵路工程的管理？
For that reason if a company has to deal with advertisement and property businesses in addition to railway operations we should ponder on the question of how much effort it can make to maintain a satisfactory level of railway operations and services as well as railway project management
港鐵公司不單在香港有這麼多範疇的業務，我們還看到它近年的發展，因為它要衝出香港，走向國際，走向大陸。
MTRCL does not only engage in a variety of businesses in Hong Kong we also see its business development in recent years . As the company is aiming at breaking out of Hong Kong it aims at going global and going north
它在深圳、北京、天津、杭州及澳門，也有地鐵及輕鐵的項目；遠在歐洲的英國、瑞典及澳洲，都有業務。
It invests in underground railway and light rail projects in Shenzhen Beijing Tianjin Hangzhou and Macao . It also has businesses in as far away as European countries such as the United Kingdom Sweden as well as Australia
中國很強調經濟發展，要走出國際。
China puts much emphasis on economic development and going global
要走出國際並不是錯，但港鐵公司走得太快，兼顧不到香港的本業，那它如何成為香港的驕傲？
There is nothing wrong with going global but MTRCL has gone too fast without taking proper care its regular business in Hong Kong how can it become Hong Kongs pride?
如何打造成國際品牌呢？
How can it achieve the objective of building a global brand?
所以，我覺得港鐵公司需要治理、整頓，以及看清楚自己企業發展的定位問題。
Therefore I consider that MTRCL needs a shakeup and revamp and to make clear the positioning of its corporate development
主席，香港一直奉行"鐵路優先"的運輸政策，按政府的全港公共交通規劃，鐵路是主要的交通工具。
President Hong Kong has been implementing a railway first transport policy . According to the Hong Kong public transport planning of the Government railway is a major transport mode
