如果政府可以提供失業援助金，便可解決相關問題。
If the Government can provide unemployment assistance the problems concerned will be solved
第三，我想談談有關"保就業"的漏洞。
Third I want to talk about a loophole of the Employment Support Scheme ESS
因此，我們認為政府應該堵塞這個漏洞。
Therefore we think that the Government should plug this loophole
當然，我們要確保保安員的待遇不受任何影響，這一點十分明確。
Of course we must ensure that the remuneration of the security guards should not be affected in any way . This point is very clear
當父母看見為其子女的考試出題的是這種人，是否意味着學生要屈服於他們的淫威，依照他們的想法答題和接受他們的歪理才能生存呢？
When parents of students find that the examination papers of their children are set by people like this does it mean that their children have to succumb to the abuses of these people by answering examination questions following their lines of thought and accept their fallacies in order to survive?
教育局已接連出現這些問題，我們看見過往有很多教師......
Such problems have continued to emerge in the Education Bureau . We have seen in the past many teachers
教育局應該明確知道的一點是，它一定要制訂懲處機制，處理違規失德的教師。
The Education Bureau should know very well that it must set up a punishment mechanism to deal with violation of the law by and misconduct of teachers
今天葉建源議員再次表現出他對這些事視而不見，這樣等同縱容教師誤人子弟。
Today Mr IP Kin - yuen turns a blind eye to all these again . This is tantamount to condoning teachers who lead their students astray
因此，制訂明確的懲處機制，訂明在甚麼情況下須要求失德的教師停職或取消其教席，這一點非常重要。
Therefore it is very important to set up a clear punishment mechanism and set out precisely the circumstances under which the misconduct of teachers warrant their suspension from work or dismissal
教材亦要有公開紀錄，讓全民一同 監察，而教育局有責任做好相關工作。
Teaching materials should also be made available for public inspection . The Education Bureau should discharge their relevant duties properly
今天當預算案獲得通過後，我希望官員可以明確告訴我們會如何跟進相關情況，別再縱容一些違規失德的教師誤人子弟，這些潛藏的弊端必須處理。
After the passage of the Budget today I hope that officials will tell us how exactly they will follow up on the situations concerned . Teachers who violate the law and misbehave should not be condoned anymore otherwise they will lead young people astray . Such hidden evils must be dealt with
我認為律政司有這方面的責任，希望稍後官員會就這方面作出回應和解答。
The Department of Justice has the responsibility to do these things . I hope that officials will respond and provide a reply to this later
此外，對於這份預算案，我們看到"攬炒派"當然不斷針對警方的開支。
Regarding this Budget the mutual destruction camp of course keeps targeting the expenditures of the Police
他們由始至終也表示要針對警方的開支，甚至為了不給予警方任何開支而試圖"攬炒"整份預算案，這亦是他們為了達到政治目的而採用的慣常手法。
They have been saying all along that they will target the expenditure of the Police . In order not to give the Police any funding to meet their expenditure they even attempt to burn together with the whole Budget . This is their old trick to achieve political objectives
從這些事件可見，"攬炒派"過往對警方作出的針對和煽動仇恨的行為現已散播，現場甚至有假記者繼續將這些煽動仇恨的舉措無限放大，對社會造成很大的傷害。
Incidents like this reflects the spread of the confrontational and hatred instigating behaviour of the mutually destruction camp . There are even fake reporters who keep on magnifying such hatred instigating behaviour causing very great harm to the society
如果堅持在這個時候"攬炒"社會，明顯是自私自利的行為，為求達到一己的政治目的而置市民的生死於不 顧。
Insisting to burn together with society at this juncture is obviously selfish behaviour . These people are trying to achieve their own political objectives without regard to the life and death of the people
我們有責任指出和揭穿"攬炒派"的虛偽，同時亦要提醒政府，待預算案獲得通過後，當局應明確承諾將如何妥善處理我們提出的要求，包括盡快派發1萬元，讓市民早日受惠。
We have the responsibility to point out and expose the hypocrisy of the mutual destruction camp . At the same time we must remind the Government that after the Budget has been passed it should make a clear undertaking that our demands will be properly addressed including distributing the 10,000 expeditiously so that members of the public can benefit early
我覺得必須在此指出這一點，希望政府聽到我們這方面的意見。
I must point this out here . I hope the Government has heard our view
即使政府說網上登記很快捷，但最節省資源和流程的辦法，仍然是設立中央資料庫。
Although online registration is quick as the Government has so claimed the most efficient way in terms of resources and procedures is having a central database
我不是要求政府在1天或1星期內設立中央資料庫，但政府應該藉着今次派發1萬元的契機做這件事。
I am not asking the Government to establish the database within one day or one week . But the Government should take the opportunity of distributing the 10,000 cash handout to do so
說回預算案，今天有同事提到預算案在財富分配上的功能。
Let me come back to the Budget . A colleague mentioned today the function of the Budget in wealth distribution . This is actually an old idea
如果不是出現疫情，政府今次是不會願意如此闊綽"派錢"或作出福利支援的，因為我相信政府內部對於這種闊綽的"派錢"措施或福利政策非常抗拒，主要因為今次的疫情才會這樣做。
Without the pandemic the Government would not have been willing to dish out money or welfare benefits so generously . I believe internally the Government is resistant to this kind of generous cash handout measure or welfare policy . It is willing to do so mainly because of this pandemic
但我也要清楚指出，我們並不認同長遠運用這種支援方式，因為這樣確實會形成結構性赤字，這不是健康的做法。
We thus have asked the Government to boldly and decisively provide welfare benefits to support the people . However I must clearly point out that we do not think that the Government should provide this kind of support in the long run because this will lead to structural deficits . It is not a healthy approach
這是政府的固有思維，我相信今天在座所有同事也聽過這種說法。
This has prevented the Government from providing assistance to them . This is the inherent thinking of the Government . I believe Members sitting here have all heard about it
將來萬一有甚麼事，政府便可以有效到位地支援這些行業，我覺得政府真的要思考一下。
In the event of another crisis the Government will then be able to effectively provide support to these industries . I think the Government should really seriously think about this
我舉一個例子，我與梁志祥議員之前跟進防疫抗疫基金的事宜時，發現補習社獲得資助，但教授興趣班、音樂學校和舞蹈學校則未能獲得資助，因為這些行業不像補習社般有識別機制，他們沒有領取牌照。
Let me cite an example . In following up matters related to the Anti - epidemic Fund Mr LEUNG Che - cheung and I have found that academic tutoring schools are eligible for assistance but interest classes music schools and dancing schools are not . Unlike academic tutoring schools the latter are not identified under the system due to absence of a licence
大家要知道，並不是他們不想領牌，而是現有機制沒有提供相關牌照。
However let me tell you it is not that they do not want to apply for a licence but there is no system to provide a corresponding licence for them
其實，很多演員也是基層市民，這行業也欠缺識別機制，所以現在又要討論如何識別這一類人，只要有機制，便可以為他們提供資助。
So this is another profession needed to be identified . As long as they are identifiable under the system the Government can provide assistance to them
我剛才亦提及，今天的社會局面，其實大家也處於水深火熱之中，我當然希望可以盡快派發1萬元，當初財政司司長也說，通過預算案後仍要等到6月底才能派發。
As I said just now many people are in the abyss of suffering in the face of the present situation . I certainly hope that the 10,000 cash handout can be expeditiously distributed to the people . The Financial Secretary has already made it clear that the cash handout will be made available only by the end of June after the passage of the Budget
我已經再三說，真的是太慢，因為很多市民可能基於個別原因而未能受惠於防疫抗疫基金，他們正等待着這1萬元，我希望政府可以做得到位。
I have repeatedly said that this is too slow because many people due to various reasons may not be eligible to any benefits from the Anti - epidemic Fund and they are in urgent need of the 10,000 . I hope the Government can do its job efficiently
所以，我認為政府要加快處理這事情。
I thus think that the Government needs to speed up its work
我再三重申，我們支持通過預算案，只是因為我們希望社會能夠盡快回復運作，不要被"攬炒"，很多市民等待着各種各樣的社會福利，包括派發1萬元。
I say again that we support the passage of the Budget only because we want society to resume its normal operation as soon as possible and not to be brought down by the mutual destruction activities . Many people are waiting for different kinds of social welfare benefits including the 10,000 cash handout
可是，我們支持通過預算案，並不代表政府所有部門做的事皆令我們滿意，我相信今天很多在席同事，包括建制派同事，大家的想法也可能一致，就是我們不想社會被"攬炒"。
However our support for the passage of the Budget does not mean that we are satisfied with the performance of all government departments . I believe many colleagues here including those from the pro - establishment camp may have the same thing in mind . We do not want society to be brought down by the mutual destruction activities
所以，我們希望政府知道我們的訴求，我們今天支持通過預算案，是希望市民可以盡快受惠，但對於個別部門，例如香港電台，我們要求政府說清楚未來的路向，將會如何處理這些有問題的部門，撥亂反正。
We will support the passage of the Budget . We want people to benefit as soon as possible . As for certain departments such as Radio Television Hong Kong we ask the Government to clearly indicate their way forward and how it will handle these problematic departments so as to bring order out of chaos
我希望政府官員在今天稍後的回應時間，可以清楚告訴大家，將會如何處理這些問題。
I hope the public officers will later clearly tell us in their response how these problems will be addressed
我提醒委員，我會於大約下午6時15分請官員發言，之後逐一表決有關議題，直至完成三讀。
I remind Members that I will call upon the public officers to speak at around 6col15 pm and then the committee will vote on the relevant motions one by one until completing the Third Reading
有意發言的委員，請盡早按下"要求發言"按鈕。
Members who intend to speak please press the Request to speak button as early as possible
當然，今年的經常性支出有所增長，是可以理解的。
Of course the growth in this years recurrent expenditure is understandable
在經濟低迷的時候，政府增加 經常性支出，是完全可以理解的。
The increase in re - current expenditures of the Government in times of economic downturn is totally understandable
問題是，評級會考慮很多因素，包括我剛才所說的兩個問題即結構性財赤和經常性支出無限增長也是箇中很大的原因。
The problem is a lot of factors are taken into consideration for rating including the two issues that I have just mentioned―structural deficit and unlimited growth of the recurrent expenditures―which are also the major factors
第四個問題是更加基本但複雜，政府不是沒有理會這個情況的，在過去10年亦曾提及，就是香港的收入基礎太過狹窄。
The fourth problem is even more fundamental but complicated . It is not that the Government took no notice of this situation . In fact it has been mentioned in the past 10 years that the income base of Hong Kong is too narrow
這麼多年來，香港一直依賴直接稅收入和非經常性收入即是賣地收入而直接稅方面，我們有薪俸稅、印花稅和利得稅，這是大家都知道的，但薪俸稅、利得稅和印花稅的收入會因為經濟下滑而大減。
Over the years Hong Kong has all along been relying on direct tax revenue and non - recurrent income―ie . proceeds from land sales―as for direct tax we have salaries tax stamp duty and profits tax . We all know about this
印花稅亦是一樣，因為印花稅收入有兩個來源，土地交易會產生印花稅，股票交易也會產生印花稅。
The same applies to stamp duty which comes from two sources . Both land transactions and stock trading are subject to stamp duty
當直接稅收入全部大跌的時候，但又要用錢，政府該怎麼辦呢？
When the amount of direct taxes plunges and money needs to be spent what should the Government do?
而在經濟蓬勃、稅收豐盈的時候，政府提出增加稅收的方法，亦似乎"不合嘴型"。
During economic boom when there is abundant tax revenue it will seem inappropriate for the Government to raise the issue of tax increase
事實上，在經濟蓬勃時開徵新稅種，就像政府一定要在適當時候咬一粒子彈一樣，如果永遠不去做的話，永遠都會有一個問題，就是無法保持收入穩定和擴闊收入來源的基礎。
In fact introducing a new tax when the economy is blooming can be compared to the need for the Government to bite a bullet at an appropriate time . If this is never done the problem will always be there that is being unable to keep the revenue stable on a broadened base
但問題是，長遠來說，收回成本亦是政府必須做到的，務求令政府有穩定的收入。
But the problem is in the long term cost recovery is something that the Government must pursue in order to maintain stable revenue
我聽到陳茂波司長說會處理這個問題，但香港這個如此細小的經濟體系，怎樣與OECD或G20角力呢？
I heard Secretary Paul CHAN say that this matter will be dealt with . However how can such a small economy like Hong Kong wrestle with OECD or G20?
我再重申，本港的評級不單視乎本港的財務狀況、收入或有多少盈餘，亦須視乎其他數項因素，包括本港的法治和資訊自由，這兩點對營商是十分重要的。
I have to reiterate that the rating of Hong Kong does not only hinge on its financial situation the amount of its revenue or surplus . Several other factors including the rule of law and freedom of information in Hong Kong will also be taken into consideration . These two factors are very important for business operation
我很希望本港的法治和資訊自由得以保持，至少令外商不會對在香港投資卻步。
I hope the rule of law and freedom of information in Hong Kong could be maintained which will at least not deter foreign investors from investing in Hong Kong
主席，藉着這個就本年度財政預算案作最後一次發言的機會，我想把焦點由梁繼昌議員剛才發言的較宏觀角度，稍為轉移至集中討論香港市民現時比較關注的議題。
Chairman this is the last chance for me to speak on the Budget this year and I would like to take this opportunity to shift the focus slightly from a more macro perspective as reflected in the speech made just now by Mr Kenneth LEUNG to a focused discussion on issues that are currently of greater concern to the people of Hong Kong
無可否認，警隊的撥款的確成為香港市民今次關注的焦點之一，隨之而來的是，這亦突顯了特區政府處理財政撥款的一些招數，因是次牽涉警隊問題而為人所見的可以詬病之處。
Undeniably the budget expenditure of the Police Force does become a focus of attention for Hong Kong people this time and the ensuing problem that has also highlighted some of the tricks played by the SAR Government when making financial allocation . They have become known to the public and are worthy of criticism since the problems with the Police Force are involved
很多議員已提及，警隊258億元的預算開支對極大部分香港人來說，是完全不能接受。
As mentioned by many Members the estimated expenditure of 25.8 billion for the Police Force is totally unacceptable to a large number of people in Hong Kong
香港人經歷過去一年的濫暴，無論是親身在街 頭或商場耳聞目睹，還是透過傳媒直播、網上直播、流傳的相片和影片及口述紀錄，均可見到香港警隊的濫暴問題已到達失控的程度。
Hong Kong people have experienced the excessive use of violence in the past year and as revealed from what was seen and heard on the street or in shopping malls or from live broadcasts on media platforms live webcasts widely circulated photos video clips and oral records the excessive use of violence by the Hong Kong Police Force has already run out of control
及至今年的預算案，特區政府仍然對民意充耳不聞，屢勸不改，為警隊預備一份款額大幅增加25%的預算開支，編制方面的增幅則達到2,542人。
In the Budget this year the SAR Government kept turning a deaf ear to public opinion and repeated advice and has proposed a significant increase of 25 % in the estimated expenditure for the Police Force together with an increase of 2 542 staff members in its establishment
警隊作為評分最低及香港市民最討厭的部門，竟可獲得如此的預算開支增幅，如此擴大其人手編制，試問特區政府如何能說服香港人，這份預算案是惠民的，並值得香港人支持通過？
As the government department which has the lowest popularity rating and is detested the most by the people of Hong Kong how can the Police Force enjoy such a significant increase in both its estimated expenditure and establishment? . How can the SAR Government convince Hong Kong people that the Budget seeks to benefit people and is worth the support and endorsement of Hong Kong people?
相反，不單五大訴求之一的成立獨立調查委員會遙遙無期，連那份虛與委蛇的獨立監察警方處理投訴委員會報告，其主席梁定邦昨天是如何回答傳媒的呢？
On the contrary the aspiration for the establishment of an independent commission of inquiry one of the five demands is just a distant dream moreover the report to be published by the Independent Police Complaints Council IPCC is nothing but a mere pretence how Anthony NEOH the Chairman of IPCC replied to press yesterday
林鄭月娥早前表示要增強監警會的職能，她又是否真的能說到做到？
Carrie LAM has indicated earlier her wish to enhance the functions of IPCC but can she really keep her words?
結果，監警會今年的預算開支反而較去年減少了4.4%，這個監管警權的機構所享有的撥款可說與警隊完全無法相比，絕對是天壤之別。
It turns out that there is a decrease of 4.4 % in the estimated expenditure for IPCC this year as compared with that in the previous year . The financial allocation provided to this organization tasked to oversee the exercise of police power is definitely incomparable with that provided to the Police Force and difference is poles apart
納稅人每年繳交稅款，稅款落入特區政府手上後，這258億元卻花在購買橡膠子彈、催淚彈、水炮車之上。
Taxpayers are required to pay tax every year but the SAR Government chooses to spend 25.8 billion of the tax money collected on the procurement of rubber bullets tear gas canisters and water cannon vehicles
反觀香港電台、香港天文台和香港消防處這3個作為香港市民最信任、最受歡迎，而實際上香港人也需要感謝的部門，它們的預算開支加起來才稍多於警隊預算開支的三分之一。
In contrast the combined amount of the estimated expenditures for the Radio Television Hong Kong RTHK the Hong Kong Observatory and the Hong Kong Fire Services Department is only slightly more than one third of that of the Police Force although these three government departments are most trusted by and most popular among Hong Kong people and the general public should in fact be thankful to them
中國人有一種不太理想的觀念，又或服膺"關上門打仔"之說。
There is an undesirable concept among Chinese people and under which people follow the practice of beating up ones child behind closed door
這話本身已不甚要得，但現在特區政府更要"開門打仔"，完全不介意讓香港人和全世界看到他們如何明目張膽地對待這個公營廣播機構，這個維護《基本法》、體現《基本法》中新聞自由、中立、不偏不倚精神，並在過去多年一直為香港人提供高質素節目的港台。
This is by no means an acceptable approach but the SAR Government has now gone so far as to beat up its child with the door open not minding at all that Hong Kong people and the whole world can clearly see how RTHK is treated unscrupulously when this public broadcaster has all along been safeguarding the Basic Law upholding the spirit enshrined in the Basic Law in respect of freedom of the press neutrality and impartiality and providing Hong Kong people with programmes of high quality over the years
港台近3年的一般部門開支已逐年遞減，特區政府最終其實是否有意"殺掉"港台？
There was a continuous decline in the general departmental expenses of RTHK in the last three years and is it after all the SAR Governments genuine intention to kill off RTHK?
例如我較早前發言時曾提及，根據《公共財政條例》第83條，財政司司長可運用財務委員會轉授的權力，繞過立法會，無需經議員審議或批准而即時撥款予不同的政府部門。
For example as I have mentioned in my speech delivered earlier under section 83 of the Public Finance Ordinance the Financial Secretary may exercise the power delegated by the Finance Committee to bypass the Legislative Council and immediately allocate funding to different government departments without deliberation or approval by Members
在財政司司長運用轉授權力，靜悄悄批撥予警隊的近31億元款項中，有22億5,100萬元屬支付予警務人員的加班津貼。
Regarding this funding of nearly 3.1 billion allocated secretly to the Police Force under delegated power exercised by the Financial Secretary 2.251 billion of it is intended to be used for paying overtime allowance to police officers
保安局曾提到在過去的財政年度，有13,000多名警隊人員曾領取加班津貼，所涉及的開支總額為25億2,000萬元。
According to the Security Bureau overtime allowance was granted to over 13 000 police officers in the last financial year involving a total expenditure of 2.52 billion
我們暫時沒有任何公開資料可確認在該25多億元加班津貼總額中，是否包含剛才提及，獲當局靜悄悄批出的22億5,000多萬元。
There is so far no public information available to confirm whether this total sum of over 2.5 billion of overtime allowance included the funding of over 2.25 billion mentioned just now when I was talking about the public money allocated secretly by the Government
不過，在數學和邏輯上，我們可以肯定一點，議員和香港人一直批評警隊的加班津貼有如無底深潭，而在違規濫暴、毆打市民和侮辱記者之下，仍動用公帑向他們發薪，這本身是絕對錯誤的事情。
However mathematically and logically we can be sure about one thing Members and Hong Kong people have always criticized that the payment of overtime allowance within the Police Force is like a bottomless abyss and it is absolutely wrong to keep spending public money on police officers pay when malpractices involving the excessive use of violence beating up of ordinary citizens and hurling of insults at journalists have become widespread
更加離譜的是，司長保證無論批出多少加班津貼，仍可透過向庫房提出撥款申請來抵銷有關開支，而最大的漏洞和問題是，本會是無從過問、無從監察，更加無從反對。
It is even more outrageous that the Financial Secretary has guaranteed that no matter how much money is allocated for the payment of overtime allowance the relevant expenses can always be offset by submitting funding applications to the Treasury . The biggest loophole and problem lie in the fact that this Council cannot look into the matter monitor the arrangements and express its objection
我注意到在財政司司長提交財務委員會的季度報告中，載述警隊在2019-2020年度第三季，曾使用薪金預算填補津貼開支。
I notice that according to a quarterly report submitted by the Financial Secretary to the Finance Committee in the third quarter of 2019 - 2020 the Police Force has met its allowance expenses with the salary budget
換言之，財政司司長在未經諮詢立法會的情況下如此爽快批核大量款項予警隊，本身已是絕不必要的暗渡陳倉之舉，而更加惹人懷疑的是這種黑箱作業的行為，是否有意掩人耳目，躲避公眾的監察？
In other words it is an absolutely unnecessary and evasive move for the Financial Secretary to endorse the allocation of a huge amount of funding to the Police Force so readily without consulting the Legislative Council . It is even more suspicious that by resorting to black box operation like this is this the Governments intention to cover up what it has done and evade public monitoring?
此外，在上一財政年度，司長亦運用轉授權力，就警隊內348個職位作出變更。
In addition the Financial Secretary has also exercised the above delegated power in the last financial year to introduce changes to 348 posts within the Police Force
若將這些職位編制變更連同上一季度報告一併審視， 可發現最少有50個屬新增職位。
If these changes made to the staff establishment of the Force are reviewed together with the last quarterly report we can find that at least 50 of the positions concerned are newly created posts
主席，我們有極強理由相信在這348個職位當中，有很多是未經諮詢立法會便增設的職位。
Chairman we have very strong reasons to believe that many of these 348 posts were created without consulting the Legislative Council
主席，另一個值得關注的撥款渠道是部門之間的撥款令。
Chairman another funding channel which is the cause for our concern is the issuance of allocation warrants between different government departments
根據《公共財政條例》第144條，某政府部門的管制人員可透過簽署撥款令，將其部門轄下的款項轉撥予另一部門。
Under section 144 of the Public Finance Ordinance the controlling officer of a government department may sign an allocation warrant to deploy the funding of hisher department to another department
一般而言，每一項撥款令所涉金額上限為1,000萬元，但每個政府部門每年可以簽署的撥款令數目，原來並無上限。
Generally speaking the maximum amount of funding involved in each allocation warrant is 10 million but there is no restriction on the permissible maximum number of allocation warrants to be signed by the controlling officer of each government department every year
換言之，簽署10項各涉及1,000萬元的撥款令，撥出共達1億元的款項，在程序上是絕對可行，而實際上立法會亦無從監察，公眾更是絕不知情。
In other words it is definitely procedurally feasible to deploy a funding of 100 million in total by signing 10 allocation warrants of 10 million each and as a matter of fact the Legislative Council cannot monitor the issuance of such warrants and the public will know nothing about them
正常來說，若要購買很多政府部門均需要使用的物品，例如口罩，一般會由政府物流服務署負責進行招標和採購，何曾需要警隊處理本來不屬其職責範圍的工作？
Normally with regard to the purchase of goods items widely used among many government departments such as face masks the Government Logistics Department will generally be responsible for handling the relevant tendering and procurement procedures and has it ever become necessary for the Police Force to perform such duties that are not within its scope of responsibilities?
更加耐人尋味的是，以立法會外圍為例，在路上所見的很多大型水馬，上面均以中英雙語標示了"警察Police"的字樣。
It is even more intriguing to note that many huge water barriers we see on the street such as those placed on the periphery of the Legislative Council Complex are bilingually marked with the words 警察 Police
那即是說，這些水馬明明是其他政府部門以本身預算出資採購的物品，但購入的水馬卻竟變成警隊管轄的財產。
In other words although these water barriers are undeniably goods items purchased by other government departments with their own financial resources they have become properties that are under the control of the Police Force
既然如此，警隊何以當初不獨資進行採購，反而要不同部門一起籌款購買水馬呢？
That being the case why did the Police Force not purchase these water barriers on a wholly - owned basis at the outset but has chosen to join hands with different government departments in funding their procurement?
我當然不希望沿這個方向思考，但每年的預算案明明已批核大量款項予警隊，供他們維持香港治安，為何當同屬特區政府 轄下的其他政府部門或建築物需要警隊給予保護時，警隊卻要另外收錢購買水馬？
Is this really the case? . I certainly do not wish to consider the matter in this way but given that a considerable amount of financial provision has actually been earmarked for the Police Force under the Budget every year so that it can maintain law and order in Hong Kong how come the Force has to charge other government departments separately for the procurement of water barriers when these departments or buildings which are also under the SAR Government need police protection?
這才是令人更感憂慮及完全有違常理之處。
This is more worrying and completely illogical
所以，主席，當保皇黨議員打算支持今次的預算案時，他們其實可有想過這樣做會被政府擺了一道？
Therefore Chairman when the royalist Members intend to vote in support of the Budget this year has it ever occurred to them that they have actually been fooled by the Government?
為何要贊成通過這份神憎鬼厭的預算案呢？
Why should they support the passage of this unwelcome and disgusting Budget?
警務處當然希望可以"韓信點兵，多多益善"，但保皇黨中如有議員聰明一點，最低限度也應支持我們提出的修正案，不過他們已全數否決了。
It is surely the hope of the Police Force to have as many resources provided by the Government as possible but if any of the royalist Members is smart enough to understand what I am saying they should at least support the amendments we proposed . But all of them have already been negatived
