主席，今天恢復二讀的《2021年財務匯報局條例草案》，目的就是配合國際上的會計專業規管趨勢，加強香港在公司核數和財務匯報等方面，以及與金融相關專業服務的獨立性和認受性，從而鞏固及提升香港的國際金融中心地位，對此我當然予以支持。
President the Financial Reporting Council Amendment Bill 2021 the Bill the Second Reading of which resumes today seeks to enhance the independence and recognition of corporate auditing and financial reporting as well as financial - related professional services in Hong Kong in line with the international trend on accounting profession regulation with a view to consolidating and upgrading the position of Hong Kong as an international financial centre . This certainly has my support
《條例草案》的主要內容是將向會計師發出執業證書、為會計師行業執業單位進行註冊，以及相關的專業監管、調査和紀律聆訊的工作，由現時的香港會計師公會轉移至由財務匯報局負責；而財匯局在完成權力轉移後，會易名為"會計及財務匯報局"。
The main contents of the Bill concern the transfer of the current functions of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants HKICPA to the Financial Reporting Council FRC in respect of issuing practising certificates to certified public accountants CPAs registering practice units in the accounting profession as well as professional regulation investigation and disciplinary hearings relating to the profession . Upon completion of the transfer of powers FRC will be renamed the Accounting and Financial Reporting Council AFRC
有人或會質疑，會計師公會是歷史悠久的專業團體，一直奉行自我監管制度，其理事會成員是由業內專業會員投票選出；反觀會財局的成員大多數是由政府委任，亦未必來自會計專業，質疑政府今次修例是否要削走會計師公會的權力，破壞專業自主，是民主倒退和存在政治目的。
Some people may question whether the Government in proposing these legislative amendments is intended to take away the powers of HKICPA and undermine its professional autonomy which they regarded as a retrogression in democracy and a step taken for a political purpose as HKICPA being a professional body with a long history has all along been practising a self - regulatory system with members of the Council elected by members of the profession whereas most members of FRC are on the contrary appointed by the Government and may not come from the accounting profession
其實，政府已多次解釋，為會計專業進行獨立規管是國際大趨勢，而且這個趨勢源自經常口說民主自由的西方國家，主因是有關國家在 多年前爆出數宗轟動國際，並幾乎引發全球金融危機的會計核數醜聞，迫令有關當局決心大幅改革當地的會計及核數專業，引入獨立的發牌和監管制度。
In fact the Government has repeatedly explained that independent regulation of the accounting profession is an international trend a trend originating in Western countries that always talk about democracy and freedom . It is mainly due to several accounting and audit scandals that broke out in these countries years ago which sent shockwaves through the international community and almost sparked off a global financial crisis . The relevant authorities were then forced to resolutely reform their accounting and auditing professions drastically and introduce an independent licensing and regulatory system
其他有關《條例草案》內容的討論均比較技術性和實務性，包括會財局的經費來源和收費水平、會計執業證書的申請和續期安排、進行調查和紀律聆訊的程序，以及會否趁機調整相關罪行和專業失德行為的罰則等。
Other discussions on the contents of the Bill are more technical and practical including the source of funding and fee levels of AFRC the application for and renewal of practising certificate procedures for conducting investigations and disciplinary hearings and whether the opportunity will be taken to adjust the penalty for related offences and professional misconduct
我在此也無謂班門弄斧，留待本會的會計、金融及法律專家評論。
Here I had better not show off my amateurish knowledge in front of experts and I will leave it for the accounting financial and legal experts in this Council to comment
我最後想說的是會財局在推動業界發展的角色。
Lastly I would like to talk about the role of AFRC in promoting the development of the industry
在《條例草案》審議期間，不少會計界人士和企業都向法案委員會反映，認為將來的會財局不應只是管人、罰人，而忽略促進業界發展方面的工作。
During the deliberations on the Bill many members of the accounting profession and enterprises conveyed the view to the Bills Committee that the future AFRC should not merely focus on controlling and punishing people to the neglect of the work to promote the development of the industry
事實上，我在過去數年也一直強調，政府和不同的專業團體除了要做好作為監管者的把關工作，亦要更積極及主動地扮演促成者和推廣者的角色，尤其是在把握"十四五"規劃和大灣區機遇方面，如果缺乏政府和相關法定機構的協助，單靠專業團體和個別私人公司去做，實在難以取得顯著及持續的成果。
In fact I have been emphasizing for the past few years that the Government and various professional bodies should not only perform their gatekeeping duties properly but should also play a more positive and proactive role as facilitators and promoters especially in seizing the opportunities provided by the 14th Five - Year Plan and the Greater Bay Area GBA . It is because without the assistance of the Government and relevant statutory bodies it will indeed be difficult to achieve significant and sustainable results if we rely solely on professional bodies and individual private enterprises
我希望相關部門及團體再加倍努力，協助香港的專業服務業加快落戶前海和進軍大灣區。
I hope that the relevant departments and organizations will put in extra efforts to assist Hong Kongs professional services sectors to establish their presence in Qianhai and tap into the GBA market more expeditiously
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持《條例草案》。
With these remarks President I support the Bill
主席，我不知道是誤解抑或其他原因，不少香港市民對於強制性公積金都是沒甚麼好感，覺得強積金很多時候都是蝕多賺少、行政費又很高、透明度又低，對提供退休保障的幫助有限。
President I do not know whether it is because of misunderstanding or other reasons that many Hong Kong people do not have a good impression of the Mandatory Provident Fund MPF . They feel that MPF records losses rather than gains for most of the time charges a very high administration fee and has low transparency and is therefore of limited help in providing retirement protection
雖然強積金公司及強積金計劃的選擇看似很多，但基本上都是要 迫人投資、迫市民將退休金交給基金經理投資，變得沒甚麼選擇，必須支付行政費用，而費用亦都讓很多人感覺相當高，但又沒有最低回報率的保證。
Although there appear to be a multitude of choices of MPF companies and MPF schemes they all basically force people to make investment and compel the public to give their retirement funds to fund managers for investment . People end up having little choice and having to pay an administration fee which many of them consider to be quite high but without a guarantee of a minimum rate of return
因此，強積金又被部分市民稱為"強迫金"。
For that reason MPF is also called a coercive fund by some members of the public
政府近年已經推行多方面改革，提升強積金的透明度、靈活性及競爭性，藉此降低收費水平及改善整體回報。
In recent years the Government has already introduced reforms in various aspects to enhance the transparency flexibility and competitiveness of MPF so as to lower its fee levels and improve its overall returns
今天恢復二讀的《2021年強制性公積金計劃條例草案》，目的是為強制性公積金計劃管理局新設的"積金易"電子平台提供法律基礎。
The Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Amendment Bill 2021 the Bill the Second Reading of which resumes today seeks to provide a legal basis for the eMPF electronic platform newly established by the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority MPFA
該平台有助進一步提高強積金的透明度，使市民可以更簡單快捷地查閱、比較及轉換不同的強積金計劃。
The platform will help further increase the transparency of MPF and allow the public to view compare and switch to different MPF schemes more easily and quickly
對於有關措施，我是支持的，但認為仍然做得不夠，尤其是增加市民的選擇方面。
Despite my support for the measure concerned I reckon that it is still not enough especially in providing more choices for people
當然，最重要就是要他們理解修例為他們帶來的好處。
Of course it is most important for them to understand the advantages that the legislative amendments will bring to them
政府早前表示正研究在供款人年滿65歲，即合資格一筆過提取所有強積金結餘之後，鼓勵他們將有關款額轉為可以帶來每個月穩定收入的年金。
The Government has indicated earlier that it is studying ways to encourage contributors who reach the age of 65 that is when they become eligible to withdraw all MPF balances in a lump sum to convert the amount concerned into annuities which can provide a stable stream of monthly income
政府的有關想法是有其道理，我亦覺得是有前瞻性的。
The Governments idea has its own merit and is in my opinion forward - looking as well
但很可惜，正如很多其他用意良好的政策及建議一樣，特區官員發放的信息含糊不清，被人歪曲了又遲遲不去澄清。
But regrettably just like many other well - intentioned policies and proposals the SAR officials have released confusing information and failed to clarify distorted information in the first instance
就此，網上很快瘋傳，指政府不只迫市民在退休前供強積金，連退休後都迫人買年金，有人甚至說政府其實是想阻止人移民，所以想方法不讓市民提取強積金。
As such the allegation that the Government not only forces the public to make MPF contributions before retirement but also compels people to purchase annuities after retirement has gone viral on the Internet very quickly . Some people have even said that the Government actually wants to stop people from emigrating and so it has to think of a way to prevent people from withdrawing their MPF benefits
政府最近已經澄清了，但我覺得效果都是相當一般，仍然有很多人誤解。
Although the Government has made a clarification lately I do not find it to be of much help as there is still misunderstanding among many people
如果《條例草案》獲得通過，在"積金易"平台正式投入運作之後，我真的希望政府與積金局可以加強宣傳、"貼地"地做、教"打工仔"如何運用、善用有關平台，積極管理好自己的強積金戶口，以及認識不同的強積金計劃。
If the Bill is passed after the eMPF Platform officially comes into operation I really hope that the Government and MPFA can step up publicity act in a down - to - earth manner and teach wage earners how to use and utilize the platform concerned to manage their own MPF accounts proactively and properly and get to know different MPF schemes
除了近年推出的預設投資策略，即收費及風險都較低的"懶人強積金計劃"之外，是否還可以提供其他收費更低，甚至完全免費的供款及投資選擇呢？
Apart from the Default Investment Strategy―ie . the lazybones MPF scheme with relatively low fees and risks―launched in recent years is it possible to provide other contribution and investment choices that charge even lower fees or better still no fees at all?
例如，有不少人提過可否把供款放入外匯基金，交給香港金融管理局做投資呢？市民自行購買延期年金，以至國家發行的債券，是否都可以視作供了強積金呢？
For example a lot of people have asked whether their contributions can be deposited into the Exchange Fund and let the Hong Kong Monetary Authority do the investment; and whether people who have purchased deferred annuities or even bonds issued by the country of their own accord can be regarded as having made their MPF contributions
我知道許局長昨天表示會研究放寬強積金，容許投資國債及政策性銀行債券。
I know Secretary HUI indicated yesterday that he would look into relaxing MPF to permit investment in sovereign bonds and policy bank bonds
有些市民就問，可否讓"打工仔"直接用強積金買國債，從而可以減低他們支付的管理費呢？
Some members of the public have asked whether it is possible to allow wage earners to purchase sovereign bonds with their MPF directly thereby reducing the management fee payable by them
我真的希望政府或局長可以認真考慮，避免強積金繼續被人污名化。
I truly hope that the Government or the Secretary will give this serious consideration to prevent MPF from continuing to be stigmatized
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持《條例草案》二讀及三讀。
With these remarks President I support the Second Reading and the Third Reading of the Bill
主席，今次修改《議事規則》的議案，應該是本屆立法會的第五次，相信亦是最後一次的類似議案。
President the present motion to amend the Rules of Procedure RoP is the fifth motion of this kind put forth in the current term of the Legislative Council and I believe this will be the last time that such a motion is proposed
今次修訂涉及的條文不算多，但範圍相當廣泛。
The amendments this time do not involve many provisions but the scope is quite extensive
透過簡介有關修訂，可以幫助市民重溫一下，在過去數年"攬炒派"當道時的荒唐議會歲月，同時對比一下，在完善了選舉制度及《議事規則》之後，立法會的理性、高效及高質的審議工作。
With a brief introduction of these amendments I would like to help the public to recap the absurd period in the legislature in the past few years when the mutual destruction camp dominated the scene while at the same time comparing it with the rational efficient and quality deliberations conducted by the Legislative Council after the improvement of the electoral system and RoP
修訂的第一部分，是因應本會早前通過的公職人員宣誓法案，修改立法會議員的宣誓安排。
The first group of amendments seeks to amend the oath - taking arrangement for Members of the Legislative Council consequential to the passage of the bill on oath taking by public officers earlier
該法案是源自2016年的宣誓風波，當年多位"攬炒派"議員借宣誓公然宣揚"港獨"，並以"支那"字眼辱華，引致全球華人震怒，當天宣誓的胡鬧場面，相信不少人仍然記憶猶新。
That bill arose from the oath - taking controversy in 2016 when a number of Members of the mutual destruction camp took the opportunity of oath - taking to openly advocate Hong Kong independence and insulted China with the word Geen - na or Sheen - na 支那 making the Chinese people around the world furious . I believe many people still remember the oath - taking farce on that day
第二部分的修訂亦是為了落實本會早前通過的另一項法案。
The second group of amendments seeks to implement another bill passed by the Legislative Council earlier
當議員因行為極不檢點而被罰"停賽"，或者因為立法會流會時無理缺席，立法會就可以暫停向有關議員發放酬金或施加罰款。
When a Member is suspended from service due to hisher grossly disorderly conduct or absence without valid reasons from a Council meeting which is aborted the Legislative Council may withhold the Members renumeration or impose financial penalties on the Member . Over the past few years the grossly disorderly conduct of Members from the mutual destruction camp escalated in terms of violence and barbarity . The moral bottom line had been falling
過去數年，"攬炒派"議員的極不檢點行為，暴力及野蠻的程度不斷升級，道德底線越跌越低，由最初的講粗口及"掟"蕉，演變成後期的搶手機、搶文件、"掟"臭蟲、撥臭水，甚至毆打保安人員，早已超越"行為極不檢點"的定義，而是極之可耻及無賴。
At first they used foul language and hurled bananas . Later they resorted to snatching a cell phone snatching papers throwing stinking worms and splashing foul - smelling liquid and even assaulting security officers . These behaviours have far exceeded the definition of grossly disorderly conduct and are shameless and rogue
透過點人數來"拉布"，甚至引發流會，亦由以往偶爾為之，變成日日點、次次點，令立法會運作陷入癱瘓，嚴重損害香港的經濟民生發展，其實扣多少錢都補償不到。
They made use of requests for headcount to filibuster and even caused the meeting to be aborted . In the past they did so once in a while but then they did it every day and on every occasion paralysing the operation of the Legislative Council and wreaking havoc on the economy peoples livelihood and development of Hong Kong . In fact no pecuniary penalties can make up for such damage
另一部分修訂是有關法案的恢復二讀，源於歷時大半年的內務委員會主席選舉"拉布"鬧劇，當時以郭榮鏗為首的"攬炒派"議員，透過拖延內會主席選舉來癱瘓內會運作，令大量有關經濟民生的法案無法適時審議及通過，包括有關增加法定有薪産假、引入垃圾徵費，以及剛剛在昨天通過的禁售電子煙法案，幾乎全部被拖垮。
Another group of amendments is related to the resumption of the Second Reading of bills which arose from the filibuster farce of the election of Chairman of the House Committee HC which had lasted for more than half a year . At that time Members from the mutual destruction camp led by Mr Dennis KWOK paralysed the operation of HC by delaying the election of the Chairman of HC . The move had obstructed the timely scrutiny and passage of a large number of bills relating to the economy and peoples livelihood including the bills relating to the extension of statutory paid maternity leave introduction of waste charging and the ban on electronic cigarettes which was passed yesterday
今次修訂釐清了相關恢愎二讀的程序，避免同類事件再次發生。
These bills almost lapsed at one point . The amendments concerned clarify the procedures for the resumption of the Second Reading to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents
還有一部分的修訂是為了配合經過改革完善的新一屆立法會的運作，包括因應下屆立法會增至90名議員而取消財務委員會委員必然制，改由議員自行報名參加，但整體人數不得少於50人。
Another group of amendments is to cater for the operation of the new Legislative Council after reform and improvement including the abolition of the mandatory membership and the introduction of voluntary membership for the Finance Committee with a membership size of not less than 50 members in view of the increase of the number of Members to 90 in the next Legislative Council
另一改動是因應選舉委員會界別的重新設立而調整分組點票的計算方法。
Another change is to adjust the counting method for split voting consequential to the re - establishment of the Election Committee sector
主席，現屆立法會會期在下星期便結束，換屆選舉還有不足兩個月便舉行，下屆立法會肯定會有很多新面貌，相信亦會有部分本會議員留任，希望大家充分善用經過完善的選舉制度及《議事規則》，盡責履行行政立法互相配合、互相制衡的憲制職能，體現"愛國者治港"的原則，透過高效高質的審議工作，為國、為港、為民切實提升特區的治理效能。
President the current term of the Legislative Council will end next week and the Legislative Council General Election will be held in less than two months . The Legislative Council of the coming term will surely have many new faces and I believe certain Members of this Council will be re - elected . I hope Members will make good use of the improved election system and RoP diligently fulfil their constitutional functions of ensuring cooperation and check and balance between the executive and legislature to realize the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong and practically enhance the effectiveness of the governance of SAR through effective and quality deliberation work for the sake of the State Hong Kong and the people
我謹此陳辭，亦代表六人組支持議案。
With these remarks I also support the motion on behalf of the six - member group
主席，首先我要申報我是香港會計師公會會員，亦是畢馬威會計師事務所的顧問。
President first of all I have to declare that I am a member of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants HKICPA and a consultant of KPMG
我本人從事上市實體審計相關工作多年。
I have engaged in audit - related work for listed entities for many years
主席，香港作為國際金融中心，香港的監管制度要與世界其他金融中心接軌，以提升和維護香港在投資者眼中作為國際金融中心的地位。
President as an international financial centre Hong Kongs regulatory regime has to align with those of other financial centres in the world so as to enhance and maintain Hong Kongs status as an international financial centre in the eyes of investors
《2021年財務匯報局條例草案》的修訂方 向其實是朝此前進，讓香港監管會計專業進一步與其他國際金融中心接軌，大方向值得支持。
The amendments in the Financial Reporting Council Amendment Bill 2021 the Bill are geared towards further aligning Hong Kongs regulatory regime of the accounting profession with that of other international financial centres . This general direction is worth supporting
《條例草案》公布後，其實業界非常關心。
After the publication of the Bill the profession has in fact been very concerned about it
我和周浩鼎議員多次與業界溝通，他們就《條例草案》的修訂已多次向我們致函，並與我們多次會面和討論，並在法案委員會提出了不少意見。
Mr Holden CHOW and I had communicated with the profession on many occasions . Regarding the amendments in the Bill they had written to us and met and discussed with us many times and had expressed many views in the Bills Committee
我作為業界的一分子，我有責任在法案委員會內反映業界的意見和關注。
As a member of the profession I am obliged to reflect the views and concerns of the profession in the Bills Committee
正如法案委員會主席張國鈞議員剛才提到，我亦感謝局方今次在審議過程中，其實也有考慮業界的意見，我形容是"有商有量"的過程，我以至其他委員提出的不少意見，局方都正視及積極回應。
As the Chairman of the Bills Committee Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwan has said I am also grateful to the Bureau for taking into account the views of the profession in the course of scrutiny . I describe it as a communicative exchange to talk things through . The Bureau has taken seriously and responded proactively to some views raised by me and other members
首先，說到未來的會計及財務匯報局的角色及定位，過去業界感覺財務匯報局只是監管，即監管再監管，沒有推動行業發展的角色。
First of all regarding the role and positioning of the future Accounting and Financial Reporting Council AFRC the profession had the impression that the Financial Reporting Council FRC was only a regulator through and through without playing any role in promoting the development of the profession
我認為未來整個政府，不單是財經事務及庫務局其實所有的機構除了監管外，在某程度上應該幫助推動業界發展。
In my opinion in the future the Government as a whole not only the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau should―indeed all regulatory bodies should to a certain extent help promote the development of the profession in addition to regulation
所以，關心這件事的業界可以"追"政府，他們應承了，我也相信政府會與不同持份者溝通，讓有關條例可以在本會討論。
Hence members of the profession who are concerned about this matter can go after the Government . They have given their word . I also believe the Government will communicate with different stakeholders so that the relevant legislation can be discussed in this Council
所以在懲罰機制上，不應該與上市公司的核數師看齊。
Therefore as far as the penalty mechanism is concerned it should not be put on a par with the one applicable to auditors of listed companies
現時會計師公會一直的做法是最高50萬元，政府也答應如果日後真的要檢討相關水平，也會諮詢業界和持份者。
The existing practice of HKICPA has all along been a maximum penalty of 500,000 . The Government has also undertaken to consult the profession and stakeholders when a review of the relevant level is warranted
總體而言，在現階段，政府無意提高對於非上市公司核數師的罰款。
In general the Government has no intention to increase the fines for auditors of unlisted companies at this stage
我相信《條例草案》今日會獲得通過，但關鍵是落實和溝通。
I believe the Bill will be passed today but the key is implementation and communication . As a matter of fact it is a major feat
我希望政府會繼續努力。
I hope the Government will continue to make efforts
另外，我在會議上亦提到，因為相信日後還有很多相關附屬法例要提交本會，要求政府當局未來提交附屬法例時，都要與業界充分溝通，也要向立法會報告工作，讓本會掌握相關的情況，亦希望做好協調的角色。
In addition I have also mentioned at the meetings that as I believe there would be a lot of relevant subsidiary legislation to be tabled in this Council in the future I have requested the Administration when it is time to do so in the future to fully communicate with the profession and report to the Legislative Council on its work so that this Council could grasp the relevant situation . And I also hope it will play a good coordinating role
主席，除了業界的關注，其實未來會財局的權力大了，肩負起監管以至發牌予會計師的責任，包括做上市實體的會計師以至不是做上市實體的會計師。
President having stated the concerns of the profession I would like to say that the future AFRC will have greater powers and assume the responsibility of regulating and even licensing accountants including those who are accountants of listed entities and those who are not
我希望未來的會財局除了在國際上說好香港作為國際金融中心的故事，維護業界的工作水平之外，我認為對公眾都要做好教育。
I hope that in addition to properly telling the story about Hong Kong as an international financial centre and upholding the work standard of the profession the future AFRC will also do a good job at educating the public
我是會計行業的從業員也是議員，過去我發覺很多市民不太掌握究竟核數在做甚麼，特別是法團，我們都有做法團的工作。
I am a practitioner in the accounting profession and also a Member of the Legislative Council . In the past I found that many members of the public especially owners corporations OCs―as we have been engaged by OCs―did not quite understand what auditing entailed
很多法團看到核數報告，就以為核數師已經查核整份報告，其實不太掌握核數師只是抽查，只是按一些準則抽查。
For many OCs once they read the audit reports they assume that the auditors had checked the whole report . They do not quite understand that the auditors only do spot checks according to some criteria
有些以為我們是偵探，有些以為我們是警察，總之是怎樣說也說不清。
Some think that we are detectives and some think that we are police officers . In any case it is hard to explain it clearly
我覺得公眾對於核數師的工作性質或核數報表的認識，會財局都有責任說明。
I think it is the responsibility of AFRC to explain to the public the job nature of auditors or how to read auditors statements
另外，當然要提到核數報告。
Moreover of course I have to mention audit reports
坦白說，不是很多讀者理解核數報告true and fair view的真正意義。
Frankly speaking not many readers understand the real meaning of a true and fair view of an audit report
我希望會財局作為一個合適的法定機構，對此都要多說明，讓普羅市民更明白上市公司實體核數師的實質工作或甚麼是due diligence等，讓大家閱讀報表的時候能夠理解和懂得分析相關內容。
I hope that AFRC as a suitable statutory body will explain more about it so that the general public can better understand the actual work of the auditors of a listed entity or what due diligence is so that people will be able to understand and analyse the relevant contents when reading the statements
主席，隨着香港人平均壽命不斷延長，香港即將踏入超高齡化社會。
President as the average life expectancy of Hong Kong people continues to increase Hong Kong is about to become a super - aged society
在這種情況下，政府或市民面對的挑戰，除了改善醫療系統和長者照顧，如何讓市民做好退休保障亦是令市民及政府十分頭痛的問題。
Under these circumstances in addition to the challenge of improving the healthcare system and elderly care retirement protection is also a headache for the people and the Government
政府一直強調，強積金制度是港人退休保障其中一條重要支柱，但正如其他同事所說，很不幸地自從2000年12月實施以來，如果在街上問市民普遍對強積金的態度，其實也是負面居多。
The Government always stresses that the Mandatory Provident Fund MPF system is one of the important pillars of retirement protection for Hong Kong people . Regrettably as other Honourable colleagues have said the general attitude of the public towards MPF is rather negative since its implementation in December 2000
很多市民依然認為強積金"收費高、回報低"，有些更認為是"強迫金"，本會的謝偉俊議員也經常提出這些觀點。
Many people still describe MPF as low returns high fees . Some even call it Mandatory Payment Fund . Mr Paul TSE of this Council has often made these points
所以，當羅致光局長早前接受訪問時，提到下屆政府處理取消強積金對沖之後，應加強與公共年金的配合，包括是否要強制或自願將強積金轉移為公共年金。
Therefore Secretary LAW Chi - kwong mentioned in an interview earlier that after the abolishment of the MPF offsetting mechanism the next - term Government should strengthen the interface between the MPF and annuity including the possible transfer of MPF into an annuity on a mandatory or voluntary basis
雖然政府稍後已經多番澄清不會強迫，但我 想再次告訴局長，其實社會的迴響十分大，我接獲的WhatsApp數目和市民查詢，真的有很大意見，一方面是市民不接受強制，另一方面也必須承認和反思，市民依然對強積金抱有不滿。
Despite repeated clarifications by the Government that transfer will not be mandatory I would like to tell the Secretary once again that there are great repercussions in society . The WhatsApp messages and public enquiries I received all expressed strong views about it . On the one hand people do not accept mandatory transfer and on the other hand we have to admit and reflect on the fact that people are still dissatisfied with MPF
主席，經過了20年的運作，強積金已累積到一定規模。
President after 20 years of operation MPF has accumulated to a certain scale
