代理主席，為何要將"起底"刑事化呢？
Deputy President why should we turn the acts of doxxing into a criminal offence?
其實很簡單，便是要回應有人將"起底"武器化的情況。
The answer is simple . We do so to respond to people who have turned the acts of doxxing into a weapon
除了引入懲處外，亦希望發揮阻嚇作用，以及藉此加強教育，特別是社區的教育和提升網絡素質，防止這些情況再次發生。
Apart from introducing penalties it is hoped that by so doing a deterrent effect can be achieved and that education especially community education and the quality of Internet content can be enhanced so as to prevent the recurrence of these situations
主席，1995年通過的《個人資料條例》，很多同事也說是"好睇唔好用"，以往被詬病是"無牙老虎"，現在很明顯是要替這隻老虎補牙。
President the Personal Data Privacy Ordinance was enacted in 1995 . Many colleagues have criticized that the ordinance which is like a toothless tiger is good to look at but not good to use . And now we obviously have to equip this tiger with teeth
問題發生在哪裏呢？
What is the problem exactly?
大家也同意，2019年的顏色革命和"黑暴"為香港帶來最混亂、最黑暗的時期，一撮人只要被政見沖昏頭腦，便會失去他們的道德和文明標準，即使平時堆砌得多高也好，在政見前，這些文明和道德標準均完全崩塌，更迷信於違法達義，將這些洗腦的"黑暴"文宣照單全收。
We all agree that Hong Kong experienced the worst turmoil and the darkest days during the colour revolution and black - clad violence in 2019 . A group of people would lose their moral and civilized standards when they were carried away by political enthusiasm . No matter how high their civilized and moral standards appeared to be under normal circumstances these standards collapsed in front of political enthusiasm
另一個問題是，廣泛的"起底"行為也是其中一個反映道德和文明標準淪陷的情況。
They were so obsessed with justice lawbreaking that they totally embraced this brainwashing propaganda on black - clad violence . Another problem is that the acts of doxxing which were widespread are also one of the situations that reflected the collapse of moral and civilized standards
有法官近日在判詞裏提到，有關的"起底"或泄露個人資料的行為不單瀆職，同時其目的是更為廣闊和歹毒的，雖然發放資料的人只是輸入數個字然後按掣，手不沾血，但其實她是否出於簡單的無知呢？
A judge recently said in a ruling that the act of doxxing or disclosure of personal data is not only a dereliction of duty but also of a broader and more malicious intent . Although the person who released the information just typed a few words and then pressed the button and that she would not have blood on her hands was her action simply out of ignorance?
是否純粹的惡作劇呢？
Was it a mere prank?
又或純粹表達不滿呢？
Or was it an act simply to express discontent?
因為被"起底"的人主要是警隊及其家人，另外也有法官、官員、議員，以及其他公眾人士，而為何這些被"起底"的人以警察佔最多呢？
It is because the persons being doxxed were mainly police officers and their family members and also judges public officers Legislative Council Members and other public figures . But why were those doxxed mostly police officers?
很簡單，正如法官的判詞所說，這是屬於網絡恐怖主義的心理戰，不單要打擊警隊執法時"止暴制亂"的士氣，同時也想令一些不同意見的人收聲，同時背後還有更激進的用意，就是要鼓動同路人作惡。
The answer is simple . As the judge said in the ruling this is a psychological warfare of cyberterrorism which seeks not only to undermine the morale of the police force to enforce the law and stop violence and control chaos but also to silence people of opposite opinions; and there is a more radical intention behind it as well which is to encourage other comrades to commit evil - doings
大家也記得在"黑暴"初期，有幼稚園教師打學生，而這些所謂的同路人，很可能在你身邊。
We still remember in the beginning of the black - clad violence a kindergarten teacher was found beating students . These so - called comrades may be around you
所以，發放這些資料的背後動機，是絕對歹毒的，更可能是要吸引或呼籲一些不理智的人行兇。
Hence the intention behind releasing such information is absolutely malicious and to attract or appeal to irrational people to perform evil - doings
因此，這些情況是不能縱容和必須盡快處理。
Hence these situations should not be condoned and must be expeditiously dealt with
而當這名犯事人被拘捕後，網上的"起底"行為減少了九成。
After the arrest of this offender acts of Internet doxxing have dropped by 90 %
主席，換句話說，正如我們很多同事所說，每個擁有個人資料的政府部門以至私人機構，似乎都應有責任保管好這些資料。
President in other words as many of our colleagues have pointed out all government departments as well as private organizations that possess personal data apparently should have the responsibility to take good care of such data
大家都留意到，在"黑暴"時期，有人自稱在暴動現場受傷，他們通常會被送院，但送到醫院時，他們的受傷資料很快被披露，不知為何不受個人私隱資料的限制，披露有人受傷、如何受傷及甚麼情況。
We may all notice that during the black - clad violence some people who claimed to have been injured at the riots were sent to the hospital . However information about their injuries was soon disclosed upon arrival at the hospital . I wonder why such information was not subject to the restriction of personal data privacy
這個一正一邪正正造成"爆眼女"事件，製造了一件懸案，讓社會有未審先判的印象，令事件鬧大，推高暴亂的氣焰。
It is an unresolved case . The case gave people an impression of her injury before the investigation actually took place . The incident was blown up out of proportion and in turn instigated the riots
這個情況究竟如何處理呢？
How should this situation be handled?
我曾提及，從公眾利益角度而言，醫管局應有責任披露部分資料，令這些暴亂的謠言不能夠再流傳下去。
I said that from the perspective of public interests the Hospital Authority should have the responsibility to disclose part of the information to stop rumours which would instigate riots from further spreading
但是，為何到現在都處理不到呢？
But to date why is this still not yet done?
這些是否算是個人資料呢？
Should these be regarded as personal data?
我覺得，為了防止將來再有"黑暴"事件出現，政府要從公眾利益的角度，審視如何披露一些有利於平亂的資料，從而避免再發生這些情況。
In my opinion to prevent the recurrence of black - clad violence the Government must review from the perspective of public interests how to disclose information that is conducive to stopping riots so as to prevent these situations from happening again
今次的《條例草案》可以打擊"起底"行為，賦予個人資料私隱專員刑事調查及檢控的權力，可以要求服務提供者將涉及侵犯個人資料的"起底"內容，在指定時間內移除，盡快停止對當事人的傷害。
The Bill this time around can combat the acts of doxxing . It gives the Privacy Commissioner of Personal Data the power to conduct criminal investigations and initiate prosecutions and request service providers to remove within a specified period of time the doxxing content which infringes on personal data with a view to expeditiously stopping the harm on the data subject
雖然這是好的跟進，但判案的法官亦指出，這些資料被上載互聯網後會被轉移位置，其實很難完全根治，就好像輻射般，永遠揮之不去。
This is a good follow - up . However the judge who ruled on the case also says that the data uploaded onto the Internet would be transferred to other locations and it is very difficult to uproot the data; and it is like radiation and will never go away
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：秘書剛讀出經修正的條文納入本條例草案。
I now put the question to you and that is That the clause as amended just read out by the Clerk stand part of the Bill
代理主席，我發言支持二讀《貨物銷售條例草案》。
Deputy President I speak in support of the Second Reading of the Sale of Goods Bill the Bill
我首先感謝法案委員會主席何俊賢議員。
First of all I thank Mr Steven HO Chairman of the Bills Committee on the Sale of Goods Bill
另外，我們有數位法案委員會委員，包括黃定光議員、鍾國斌議員、邵家輝議員和我。
There are other members of the Bills Committee including Mr WONG Ting - kwong Mr CHUNG Kwok - pan Mr SHIU Ka - fai and me
我們數人在當天一次會議上很感謝政府方面能提供比較充足的資訊，去完成該次的會議。
We were grateful that the Government provided us with enough information at a meeting of the Bills Committee which enabled us to finish the meeting
我們都認為該次法案委員會會議是重要的，因為我們在會議上特別提到，很多中小型企業可能在諮詢過程中未 必收到這麼多資訊，原來他們很多都不太清楚《聯合國國際貨物銷售合同公約》將要在香港實施。
We deemed the meeting important as we mentioned in particular at the meeting that many small and medium enterprises SMEs did not have much information on the Bill during the consultation process and did not know much about the forthcoming implementation of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods CISG in Hong Kong
律政司方面表示，究竟《銷售公約》與我們本地現行一些與銷售相關的法律條文是否有主要的衝突？
According to the Department of Justice are there any major conflicts between CISG and the existing sale - related legal provisions in Hong Kong?
不過，我亦在此提出一點，雖然如此，但正如法案委員會主席何俊賢議員剛才所說，今次《條例草案》是將《銷售公約》的條文直接納入新條文內，基本上我們沒有任何可以改動的空間。
However I would like to raise one point here . Notwithstanding the above as Mr Steven HO Chairman of the Bills Committee mentioned just now the current bill adopts a direct incorporation of the provisions of CISG
因此，我在此再三提出一個觀點，就是希望政府在未來的適應過程中，為中小企及營商的業界提供更多新的標準合約範本，特別是適用於《銷售公約》的範本，因為它不是今天才出現，其他地區、即使並非行普通法的地區都有採用，他們已經有一些很合用的標準合約或範本。
Thus I put forward an idea repeatedly here that is I hope the Government can provide more new standard sample contracts for SMEs and the business sector during the coming adaptation period especially samples applicable to CISG for the convention has been in place for a period of time . Other regions even the non - common law jurisdictions have adopted it and have already had standard sample contracts that are fit for use
其實政府當局是否應該更有效地提供一些範本給我們使用，無論是中小企、業界或社會各界，讓他們容易知悉這些就是標準的合約範本，以便大家日後容易跟隨。
In fact is it not more effective for the Government to provide samples for us be it SMEs or different sectors in the community so that we can understand easily that those are standard sample contracts we can follow in the future?
因為他們過往使用的範本可能未必再適用於《銷售公約》上，所以，標準的合約範本對業界來說顯得特別重要。
Since the samples used in the past may not be applicable to CISG sample contracts become especially important to the industry
所以，我在此亦特別提出，希望未來政府當局在《條例草案》生效之後的適應期期間，特別向業界提供足夠支援，包括給予他們多一些標準的合約範本以供參考及了解。
Therefore I would like to particularly point out here that I hope the Government can provide sufficient support for the sector during the adaptation period after the Bill comes into effect including the provision of more standard sample contracts for our reference and understanding
我覺得律政司方面可以特別考慮 一下當天我們在法案委員會會議上也提到隨着《銷售公約》的實施，在很多業界一開始對《銷售公約》未必太熟悉時，政府會否最少提供一些有系統的熱線服務，或讓中小企及業界知道相關部門會作出人手安排，以供他們查詢及進行諮詢。
I think the Department of Justice may especially consider―we also mentioned at the meeting of the Bills Committee―that after the implementation of CISG while many members of the industry are not quite familiar with it at the beginning would the Government at least provide systematic hotline service or tell SMEs and the industry that manpower will be arranged by concerned departments so that they can make enquires or seek consultations
我覺得這一點都是重要的，因為我們重新適應都要一段時間。
I think this is important for it takes time for us to adapt to the new convention
我們支持實施《銷售公約》。
We support the implementation of CISG
代理主席，在打擊"起底"方面，過去，議會內不同同事都非常着緊，希望政府方面能夠以有效的法律方式，應對、打擊這些"起底"行為。
Deputy President different Members in this Council have long since been very eager to combat doxxing hoping that the Government can tackle and combat doxxing acts through legal means effectively
當然，大家都記得言猶在耳在2019年"黑暴"的時候，各種"起底"對很多人造成很多傷害。
Certainly all of us can recall―something still fresh in our memories―that during the black - clad violence in 2019 various doxxing activities caused considerable harm to many people
不單公眾人物，甚至我們記憶中很多警員和警員的親屬都被"起底"和傷害，繼而可能遭受恐嚇等。
Not only public figures but also―as far as we can recall―many police officers and their family members were doxxed victimized and possibly subjected to intimidation eventually
這種種網絡欺凌其實仍然歷歷在目。
All those cyberbullying activities are still vivid in our memories
所以，代理主席，我們歡迎政府終於能夠回應立法會的要求，真的能夠為着打擊"起底"行為而制定今次的《條例草案》。
So Deputy President we welcome the fact that the Government finally responds to the Legislative Councils request and really makes an attempt to combat doxxing by formulating this Bill
就這個兩級制，其實當時在政制事務委員會上，我本人加上很多委員都認為，政府應該是為了有一個有效的手段應對"起底"行為，所以才引入這個兩級制安排。
Regarding this two - tier structure back then in the Panel on Constitutional Affairs I myself and many members thought that the Government probably sought to introduce it to provide for an effective means to tackle doxxing acts
《條例草案》最原始的版本要求明確證實"起底"行為對資料當事人或其家人造成傷害，才能夠將"起底"人入罪，而我記得，當時委員會內很多同事在聽到第一個版本時，都認為其所謂需證實的傷害，其實不容易舉證，所以，就這方面，大家深怕會因為無法證實所謂的傷害，結果導致很多進行"起底"的不法之徒可以走"法律罅"來脫罪。
The very initial version of the Bill required conclusive proof of harm caused to the data subject or hisher family members by the doxxers act before a conviction could be secured . As I can recall upon hearing the first version many colleagues in the Panel opined that it was actually difficult to adduce evidence for the harm which was required to be proved . In light of this we were deeply concerned that many unscrupulous elements doxxers could end up exculpating themselves by exploiting the legal loopholes resulting from the impossibility to prove what was referred to as harm
所以，政府提出今次這個兩級制的建議，我認為是政府從善如流，有聽取我們的意見。
So I think the Governments proposal of this two - tier structure shows that it has heeded and readily accepted our views
簡單而言，如果當局要求某平台停止再上載某些資料，並要求其將有關資料下架就是如此簡單而已它可能有機會有一些免責辯護，以免除它一些民事責任。
To put simply if the authorities request a platform to stop further uploading certain information and to remove the information concerned―something as simple as that―the platform may put up a defence to get rid of some civil liabilities
或者稍後辯論修正案的時候，其他同事可能會就此再次發言。
Perhaps other colleagues may speak on this point again during the debate on the amendments later
不過，我覺得政府樂意聽取議員的意見，作出恰當的修訂，這是一件好事。
Anyway I think it is a desirable move for the Government to take on board Members views and make appropriate amendments
我想提出的另外一點，是有關未來的人手編配，因為我們知道，個人資料私隱專員將會獲賦予更大權力。
Another point which I wish to raise is about manpower deployment in the future because we know that more power will be conferred upon the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data
我們經常說，要有足夠的人手配備和配套，有足夠的權力作出相關執法。
We often talk about the need to have adequate staffing and support to go with adequate power for law enforcement
我們所說的人手配套和配備，必須要足夠，畢竟"起底"相關罪案的數字其實並不小。
There must be adequate staffing and support as we mentioned . After all the number of doxxing - related crimes is not negligible indeed
我們知道這可能只是冰山一角，過去我們所看到的林林總總"起底"情況依然存在。
We know that this may just be the tip of the iceberg and the various doxxing activities which we have witnessed before still exist
所以，如果要有效打擊和應對"起底"行為，除了要有這項法例，相關執法工作所配備的人手也一定要足夠，否則，空有這一項法例，但執法機關部門卻不是認真重視的話，我擔心有關法例最後又是無法發揮真正作用。
So to effectively combat and tackle doxxing acts there must be adequate manpower for the relevant law enforcement work in addition to this piece of legislation . Otherwise this will just be a futile piece of legislation . Anyway without the law enforcement departments taking it seriously I am worried that the relevant legislation will end up failing to serve its purpose
所以，我覺得要配備足夠人手以呼應今次《條例草案》的修訂，真正有效打擊"起底"罪案。
With this in mind I think there should be adequate manpower to go with the amendments proposed by this Bill so as to combat the crime of doxxing in a truly effective manner
我認為這絕對有必要。
I think this is absolutely necessary
眾所周知，2019年"黑暴"事件引起的一項廣泛關注，是公職人員被"起底"而無法執法的問題。
As we all know the black - clad violence incidents in 2019 have aroused widespread concern about the failure of public officers to take enforcement actions as a result of their being doxxed
這種情況的確引起大家的深切關注，並希望通過法例懲罰進行俗稱"起底"活動的人士，對付這種惡行。
The situation has indeed aroused grave public concern and it is hoped that punitive measures can be imposed under the law on people engaging in doxxing activities thereby combating such malicious acts
但是，很可惜，當局時至今日才開始進行立法。
However very regrettably the authorities have waited until today to start legislating against doxxing
我認為是次立法可發揮一定阻嚇作用，因當中將會授權個人資料私隱專員就相關罪行進行調查及執法，亦即除了有法可依，亦有人員專責處理。
I think that the current legislative will have certain deterrent effect because the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data will be empowered to investigate into and take enforcement actions against the offences prescribed meaning that apart from enacting a piece of regulatory legislation a public officer will also be designated for its enforcement
此外，在法律上會引入兩級制處理擬議罪行，以避免訴訟需時。
In addition the proposed offences will be handled under a two - tier structure to avoid time - consuming litigation
正如剛才一些同事所說，有警務人員的子女被"起底"，不僅在學校被指指點點，往返學校也面對很多不便，這種種無形壓力，均令我們感到越快制止這些行為越好。
As some fellow colleagues have mentioned just now children of some police officers have been doxxed and they have not only become subjects of gossips at school but also encountered much inconvenience when going to and leaving schools . These sorts of invisible pressure have made us feel that the sooner we curb doxxing acts the better
主席，據悉，去年10月1日國慶日及本年7月1日香港回歸週年紀念日的前兩天，有一些設於公共屋邨的議員辦事處在其門外懸掛國旗，以表祝賀。
President it is learnt that two days before the National Day on 1 October last year and the anniversary of reunification of Hong Kong on 1 July this year some members offices set up in public housing estates flew the national flag outside their entrances to celebrate the occasions
然而，房屋署基於接獲投訴，指令該等辦事處將國旗除下。
However the Housing Department HD on account of having received complaints ordered such offices to remove the national flag
特區政府有責任保障國旗及國徽的正確使用，以維護國旗及國徽的尊嚴，同時鼓勵市民在適當場合使用國旗及其圖案，以表達愛國情感。
The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR has the responsibility to safeguard the proper use of the national flag and national emblem in order to preserve their dignity and at the same time to encourage the public to use the national flag and its design on appropriate occasions to express their patriotic feelings
正由立法會審議的《2021年國旗及國徽條例草案》中，弁言第二條亦訂明"一切個人和組織都應當尊重和愛護國旗及國徽，並在適宜的場合使用國旗及其圖案"。
Currently under the scrutiny of the Legislative Council the National Flag and National Emblem Amendment Bill 2021 has set out in section 2 of its preamble that all individuals and organizations should respect and cherish the national flag and national emblem and use the national flag and its design on appropriate occasions
就議員的質詢，經諮詢運輸及房屋局、民政事務局、教育局，以及行政署後，我現綜合答覆如下： 一 香港房屋委員會一直遵循《國旗及國徽條例》下有關懸掛國旗的規則及相關指引，處理議員或團體於公共租住屋邨範圍內懸掛國旗的申請，其中一項重要考慮因素 是公眾安全，確保在屋邨範圍內懸掛的旗幟必須牢固固定，同時沒有對住戶或邨內途人構成滋擾及危險。
Having consulted the Transport and Housing Bureau the Home Affairs Bureau the Education Bureau EDB and the Administration Wing my consolidated reply to the question raised by the Member is as follows 1 The Hong Kong Housing Authority HKHA has all along been following the rules and relevant guidelines of display of the national flags under the National Flag and National Emblem Ordinance in handling applications submitted by councillors or organizations for display of the national flags in public rental housing PRH estates . One of the important consideration factors is public safety under which flags displayed in PRH estates should be firmly fastened and should not cause nuisance or danger to the residents or passengers in the areas
就質詢所提及的事件，根據房委會紀錄，房委會曾於2021年6月下旬接獲有居民表示關注有議員欲於其辦事處對出的簷篷上邊緣位置懸掛國旗及區旗。
As regards the incident as mentioned in the question according to HKHAs record HKHA received an enquiry from a resident in late - June 2021 concerning the planned display of national flag and regional flag at the upper edge of the eave outside the ward office of a council member
由於該位置較近民居，而所設置的旗桿亦確實可能存在安全風險，因此在基於安全考慮的情況下，辦事處職員與議員辦事處職員商議並達成共識，將旗幟懸掛在議員辦事處門外，而事件最終亦獲得妥善處理。
As the concerned location is quite close to the residential units the flag pole installed could have possibly imposed safety risks . Therefore for the sake of safety the staff of HKHA and the ward office reached a consensus after deliberation and agreed to hang the flags outside the ward office . The matter had been properly settled
二及三 特區政府一向鼓勵市民在適當場合正確使用國旗及其圖案，以表達愛國情感。
2 and 3 The HKSAR Government has been encouraging members of the public to use the national flag and its design properly on appropriate occasions with a view to expressing their patriotic feelings
任何人如欲使用國旗或其圖案，須確保相關使用符合《國旗及國徽條例》的相關規定，以及行政長官根據條例第3條及第6條所發出的規定，包括有需要時取得相關批准。
Any person who wish to use the national flag and its design must ensure that such use is in accordance with the relevant requirements in the Ordinance and the stipulations made by the Chief Executive pursuant to sections 3 and 6 of the Ordinance including securing relevant approval when necessary
有關使用國旗或其圖案的申請，可向行政署提出，而相關申請的詳情已載於政府總部禮賓處網頁。
Application for use of the national flag and its designs should be addressed to the Administration Wing . Relevant application details are available at the website of the Protocol Division Government Secretariat
為增強市民的國家觀念和弘揚愛國精神，特區政府已積極推展國旗、國徽和國歌的宣傳推廣和教育工作，並會透過不同渠道和媒體推廣相關信息，例如製作政府宣傳短片及電台宣傳聲帶等，向市民簡介這些屬國家象徵和標誌的背景和相關使用規範，使市民明白如何適當地展示及使用國旗及國徽。
To strengthen the national sense of the members of the public and promote patriotism the HKSAR Government has taken forward publicity and educational work of national flag national emblem and national anthem in a proactive manner as well as made use of different channels and media to publicize relevant messages . For instance announcements in the public interest on television and radio for promoting the knowledge of these national symbols and signs and the related rules of usage will be produced in order to educate members of the public to properly display or use the national flag and the national emblem
而教育學生認識和尊重國旗、國徽和國歌，培養他們的國家觀念，亦是學校教育的應有之責。
In addition schools are obliged in education to enhance students understanding and respect for national flag national emblem and national anthem and cultivate in them the national sense
國旗、國徽和國歌的學習內容已蘊含於中小學學科課程，以及與德育、公民及國民教育相關的全方位學習活動內。
Knowledge about national flag national emblem and national anthem has been incorporated into different subjects at primary and secondary levels as well as life - wide learning activities related to moral civic and national education
待《條例草案》通過後，教育局會就國旗及國徽教育事宜，包括每天升掛國旗及每周舉行升旗儀式等，向學校發出指示，以便學校落實有關要求，讓學生加強對國旗及國徽的認識，增強其國家觀念和國民身份認同。
Upon the passage of the Amendment Bill EDB will give directions to schools on matters relating to education in national flag and national emblem including the daily display of the national flag and the weekly conduct of national flag raising ceremony with a view to facilitating schools to implement relevant requirements to strengthen students knowledge on national flag and national emblem as well as foster students national sense and sense of national identity
另外，教育局一直為學校提供相關資源和支援，包括製作不同學與教資源和舉辦研討會等活動，支援學界在現有基礎上教導學生認識和尊重國旗，以及鼓勵教師善用相關資源教導學生。
Besides EDB has all along been providing relevant resources and support to schools including producing various learning and teaching resources and organizing events like seminars to support the school sector in capitalizing on the existing foundation to enable students to learn about and respect the national flag and encouraging teachers to make good use of learning and teaching resources in teaching
市民如希望在公眾地方或政府建築物內展示國旗或區旗，須先向相關部門提出申請和遵守有關規定及相關法例要求。
Members of the public who wish to display the national flag or regional flag in public places or inside Government buildings shall first submit applications to the departments concerned and comply with the requirements stipulated in relevant regulations and ordinances
另外，鑒於地區組織希望懸掛節日橫額慶祝國慶日及香港特別行政區成立紀念日，民政事務總署與地政總署亦已檢視現行安排並制訂相關程序，在路旁展示非商業宣傳品管理計劃下，預留地點讓地區或社區團體申請展示橫額。
Moreover as local organizations may wish to display festive banners in celebration of the National Day and the HKSAR Establishment Day the Home Affairs Department and the Lands Department have reviewed the existing arrangements and formulated relevant procedures for handling applications by local or community organizations for displaying banners at designated spots under the Management Scheme for the Display of Roadside Non - commercial Publicity Materials
如任何市民或團體希望對上述兩項安排進一步了解詳情，歡迎向各區民政處查詢。
If members of the public or organizations would like to know more about the details of the two arrangements mentioned above they are welcome to contact DOs for enquiries
特區政府亦十分鼓勵市民積極參與相關計劃，並共同慶賀國家和特區的重要節慶日子。
The HKSAR Government also strongly encourages members of the public to actively participate in the said arrangements to together celebrate the major festive days of the country and of HKSAR
環顧世界各地，每逢元旦或國慶日，很多時均滿街懸掛國旗。
Around the world on New Years Day or National Day many streets are filled with national flags
對於懸掛國旗，究竟政府是持鼓勵及支持的態度，抑或是認為這做法造成阻礙或妨礙的態度，這才是要點。
It is important to know the attitude of the Government whether the Government is encouraging and supporting the flying of the national flag or whether the Government thinks it is an obstruction or hindrance
我覺得主體答覆中指出的個案的資料其實亦不準確。
I think that the information of the case pointed out in the main reply is not accurate either
首先，該辦事處前面是一塊空地，並沒有民居，其左右亦沒有民居，有關位置也不是一個繁忙的通道或存在安全問題。
First of all the office concerned is facing an open space where there are no residential units nor are there any residential units to the left or right of it nor is the location a busy passageway or posing a safety concern
這種懸掛國旗的模式，其實在該辦事處已存在10多年，既然10多年來也是這麼懸掛，為何在這一 兩年才被人投訴呢？
The flying of the national flag has been the practice of that office for over a decade . Since this has been the practice for over a decade why were there complaints only in the past two years?
就是因為這一兩年的政治氣氛，以及"黑暴"後有些人看到國旗便覺得礙眼，因此才會出現投訴事件。
There were complaints because of the political atmosphere in these two years and the fact that some people find the national flag an eyesore after the black - clad violence
