早前政府決定在2017-2018年度，在小學推行BCA，亦即改良版的TSA，作為協助學校改善教與學的輔助工具。
Earlier the Government decided to introduce the Basic Competency Assessment BCA or the improved version of TSA in primary schools from 2017 - 2018 school year as a tool to help schools improve learning and teaching
新的BCA比原來的TSA確實有一些改善的地方，例如試題不像以往艱深、刁鑽，學校可以選擇不同類型的報告等，我們也聽到有份參與的部分學校和家長表示支持BCA的效果。
Compared with TSA BCA has indeed made some improvements for example the questions are less difficult or complicated different types of reports are made available for schools selection and so on . We also note the support given by some participating schools and parents for the positive value of BCA
當然，最重要、最重要的是，倘若有學生家長不想子女參加計劃，局方應讓學校自行處理。
Of course if there is strong resistance from parents it would be most important for the Bureau to let the schools handle the matter themselves
我們希望政府有關當局能夠聽取民意，接納我們的建議。
We hope the relevant authorities can heed public opinion and accept our proposals
立法會去年通過我提出有關"初中中國歷史獨立成科"的議案，其後在社會上引起了很多討論和關注。
Last year following the Legislative Councils passage of the motion I moved on Requiring the teaching of Chinese history as an independent subject at junior secondary level much discussion and concern has been aroused in society
據我所見，大部分人均認同在中國人的地方提倡加強中國歷史教育，讓下一代了解我們國家的歷史，這是理所當然不過，因為歷史讓我們學懂反省，歷史讓我們學懂謙卑，重視中國歷史教育對下一代非常、非常重要。
As far as I can see most people agree that Chinese history education should be strengthened in the Chinese territory so that our next generation can fully understand Chinese history . This is right and proper because through history we can reflect on ourselves and learn how to be humble . Attaching importance to Chinese history education is of paramount importance to our next generation
不過，令人失望的是，雖然有主流民意的支持，但在新一份施政報告中卻對這問題輕描淡寫，只是提出加強師資培訓，以及提供合共約1億2,500萬元的一筆過撥款支援教學，而對於中史獨立成科的核心訴求，始終隻字不提。
But despite the support of mainstream public opinion little has been said about this matter in this years Policy Address which is most disappointing indeed . The only relevant proposals are namely to strengthen teachers professional development and to provide a one - off grant of about 125 million to support teaching efforts in this respect . Nothing has been mentioned about the fundamental call of teaching Chinese history as an independent subject
事實上，就着中史獨立成科的問題，我們是有民意的支持。
The fact is our call for teaching Chinese history as an independent subject is backed by public opinion
在去年10月，我們曾進行民意調查，有超過七成市民認為初中學生對中國歷史知識不足夠，接近八成受訪者贊成在初中階段加強中國歷史教育，又有接近七成受訪者贊成初中中國歷史課程要獨立成科。
According to a public opinion survey we conducted in October last year more than 70 % of the respondents considered that junior secondary students lacked a good knowledge of Chinese history and nearly 80 % of them supported the strengthening of Chinese history education at junior secondary level . Moreover nearly 70 % of the respondents supported the teaching of Chinese history curriculum as an independent subject at junior secondary level
我期望行政長官和教育局局長能夠認真考慮我們及市民的意見，完善中史科，將中國歷史在初中階段獨立成科，並成為必修科目，讓香港的下一代能夠學好中國歷史。
My expectation for the Chief Executive and the Secretary for Education is that they will seriously consider our views and public opinion and fine - tune the Chinese History subject so that it will be taught as an independent and compulsory subject at junior secondary level . In this way the next generation of Hong Kong can learn Chinese history properly
申訴專員公署亦批評教育局規管幼稚園收取超額報名費的工作相當鬆散，沒有做好把關，任由幼稚園多報支出以收取高昂的報名費，又沒有統一的審批標準，機制變成有等於無，完全不能保障家長的利益。
The Office also criticized that the Education Bureaus regulation of the collection of above - the - ceiling application fees by kindergartens is very lax and the Bureau has failed in its duty as a gatekeeper as kindergartens are allowed to charge high application fees by exaggerating their expenses and consistent criteria for vetting and approving such fees are lacking . In other words the Bureaus mechanism exists only in name and there is absolutely no protection for the parents interests
所以，我張國鈞和民建聯曾一同約見教育局楊潤雄副局長，要求局方加強這方面的監管，確保幼稚園不能再以收取報名費為名，賺錢為實。
In this connection I CHEUNG Kwok - kwan and other representatives of DAB had a meeting with the Under Secretary for Education Kevin YEUNG . At the meeting we urged the Bureau to step up regulation in this regard so as to prevent further cases of kindergartens profiteering under the pretext of application fees . We hope the Education Bureau can duly perform its role as a gatekeeper for the parents sake
雖然今次施政報告沒有提供幼稚園報名費問題，不過我很希望行政長官聽到我們的意見，能夠正視這個問題，加強監管幼稚園收費，以保障家長的權益。
The Bureau will also examine whether the amount of over - charged application fees can be used for the purpose of offsetting application expenses in future . Although nothing has been said in the Policy Address about the charging of application fees by kindergartens I very much hope that the Chief Executive can listen to our views and address the problem squarely by strengthening regulation on the fees and charges of kindergartens in order to protect the parents rights and interests
當然，要優化整個幼稚園教學制度，不僅要處理濫收報名費的問題，政府還要盡快全面落實15年免費教育，提供更多全日制及長全日制幼稚園學額，並為幼師建立專業階梯。
Of course the fine - tuning of our pre - primary education system as a whole involves more than tackling the problem of over - charging application fees by kindergartens . The Government should also implement 15 - year free education as soon as possible provide additional whole - day and long whole - day kindergarten places and establish a professional ladder for kindergarten teachers
因為在昨天早上，我與蔣麗芸議員及劉國勳議員曾到訪港島區一間以儒家思想教學為特色的中學。
It is because yesterday morning I together with Dr CHIANG Lai - wan Mr LAU Kwok - fan visited a secondary school on the Hong Kong Island run under the philosophy of Confucianism
該中學歷史悠久，亦收取了很多不同國籍及族裔的學生，實施融合教育。
Having a long history the school practices integration education and accepts many EM students as well as students from foreign countries
該中學的校長向我們表示，學校堅持以儒家思想教導學生，即使學生有不同文化背景，也希望他們受到儒家文化薰陶，學懂人際禮儀、互相尊重和包容。
The principal told us that the schools mission is to impart the teachings of Confucianism to the students . Although the students may have different cultural backgrounds they can all benefit from the Confucius culture by learning about interpersonal relationships etiquette mutual respect and inclusion
由此可見，即使是少數族裔學生，也可以融入本地主流學校，與本地學生共融，這是可以做得到的事情。
It is thus evident that even EM students can fully integrate into mainstream schools and get along well with local students . This is something that can be achieved
可是，校長亦向我們指出，少數族裔學習中文存在不少困難，這方面固然與他們並非以中文為母語有莫大關係，但政府對學校的支援和資助不足也是問題。
With that said the principal also told us that EM students have to face many difficulties when learning Chinese . Of course one major reason is that Chinese is not their mother tongue but the insufficient support and subsidies provided by the Government to the schools is also a contributing factor
校長提到，曾接受培訓並懂得教授少數族裔學生的教師人數不足，學校很多老師其實沒有受過教授少數族裔學生學習中文的培訓。
One problem highlighted by the principal is that there are not enough teachers with the proper training of teaching EM students . In fact many teachers in the school have not received any training on teaching Chinese to EM students
一直以來，我們十分關注香港的少數族裔學生，亦十分關注他們能否學好中文。
All along we are very concerned about EM students in Hong Kong . We are also very concerned whether they can learn the Chinese language well
因為這些可謂土生土長的少數族裔學生，他們打算以香港為家，並長期居住，如果他們不能學好中文，便難以融入社會，亦難以找到一份好工作。
These EM students are actually born and raised in Hong Kong and they intend to settle in Hong Kong for good . If they cannot master the Chinese language it will be difficult for them to integrate into society or find a good job
我曾見過一些少數族裔青少年，他們本身很聰明，英文也不差，但因為各種原因沒有學好中文，所以在畢業後無法找到一份好工作，只能從事一些基層或體力勞動的工作。
I have also seen some EM youngsters who are smart and have good English . But for various reasons they do not learn Chinese well . After they graduated they cannot find a good job and can only take up elementary jobs or labour - intensive jobs
我亦曾見過一些少數族裔青年人立志加入警隊，希望為維持香港治安出一分力。
I have also come across cases about EM young people aspiring to join the Police so that they can help maintain law and order in Hong Kong
所以，我很希望教育局在這方面多做工作，因為這些少數族裔青年人也是香港社會的一股重要力量。
Personally I find these cases very disheartening . Therefore I very much hope that more can be done by the Education Bureau in this regard because these EM young people are also a major force in our society
我個人認為，政府在重建灣仔運動場一事上其實可以處理得更好，以爭取民意支持。
Personally I think the Government could have handled the redevelopment of WCSG in a much better way to win public support
兩項計劃本應有相連關係，但市民收到的信息是這兩項計劃並沒有關連。
The two projects should have been related but the public were given to understand that there is no connection between the two projects . The Policy Address also states that WCSG will be demolished in 2019 at the earliest
這種安排難免令市民擔心和難以接受。
Given such unacceptable arrangement the public cannot help but worry
政府雖然決定把灣仔運動場地皮用作發展會議展覽業之用，但同時亦承諾在日後的綜合發展大樓上預留樓層提供康體及社區設施，包括一些潮玩和新穎的玩意。
Notwithstanding the Governments decision to provide convention and exhibition venues on the site of WCSG it also pledges that trendy and novel recreation and sports facilities as well as other community facilities will be provided in the future comprehensive development
因此， 有關的重建工作理應由商務及經濟發展局和民政事務局共同負責及策劃。
As such the redevelopment plan should be taken forward jointly by the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau as well as the Home Affairs Bureau
但是，政府現時宣布由商務及經濟發展局主導整個計劃，難免讓人有"商業為上"的感覺，令公眾的觀感欠佳。
But as presently announced by the Government the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau is in charge of the overall plan . People cannot help but have the uneasy feeling that it is after all just a commercial project
主席，就灣仔運動場的重建計劃，民建聯在施政報告發表後立即在灣仔區進行了民意調查，得出的結果是有近66%受訪者支持重建灣仔運動場，亦有67%市民支持改建大球場，但他們最關心的就是怎樣做好銜接安排。
President immediately after the Policy Address was announced DAB conducted a public opinion survey in Wan Chai District . Nearly 66 % of the respondents support the redevelopment of WCSG and 67 % of the people support the redevelopment of Hong Kong Stadium . But the one thing they are most concerned about is the transitional arrangements
此外，我們的調查亦發現，有近六成受訪者在過去兩年沒有使用過大球場，反映大球場現時使用率偏低、各類配套未如理想。
Our survey also found that nearly 60 % of the respondents have not visited Hong Kong Stadium over the past two years indicating a low utilization rate due to unsatisfactory complementary measures
所以，我們很希望在改建之後，這種情況會有所改善。
So we hope the situation will improve after its redevelopment
對於特首提出提供一些新潮康體設施的建議，據我們調查所得，受訪者的反應其實並不熱烈，市民最希望的反而是在灣仔運動場重建後能夠增加一些傳統康體設施，例如羽毛球場、籃球場及社區會堂等。
Regarding the Chief Executives proposal to provide trendy and novel recreation and sports facilities our survey found that the public are far from enthusiastic about the idea . Instead what they want most with the redevelopment of WCSG is the additional provision of traditional sports and recreation facilities such as badminton and basketball courts as well as community halls
我希望政府能夠就相關計劃進行廣泛諮詢，以致能夠提供一些市民需要而又適切的設施。
I hope the Government will conduct extensive public consultation on the relevant proposals so that the facilities to be provided eventually can suitably meet the publics needs
梁議員，我以下發言會集中於施政報告有關教育的部分。
Mr LEUNG my speech will focus on the part on education in the Policy Address
教育的部分，在施政報告出台前，大家均有很大的期望，這個期望很簡單，但教育局局長偏偏無法做得到，便是取消TSA。
Before the Policy Address was delivered people have a great expectation on education . Their expectation is simple enough that is to abolish the Territory - wide System Assessment TSA but the Secretary of Education just failed to deliver
試題變淺，變相有更多學生及格，難分高下。
Since easier questions are set more students will pass the assessment and it will be more difficult to tell which students perform better
教育局一直說，透過對TSA成績的分析，能夠讓學校知道哪些課題是該校學生未能完全掌握的，如果因為試題變淺，而令大部分學生達標，究竟我們在評估些甚麼呢？
According to the Education Bureau analysis of TSA performance will allow schools to identify the subjects that the students have not mastered . If easier questions are set and the majority of students will pass the assessment what are we really assessing?
分析出來的結果，又可有多大幫助？
How useful will the analysis be?
題目出過便不能再 出，也不能跟坊間出版的模擬試題一樣，於是題目只會變得越來越刁鑽，這個正正是當初試題越來越深、越來越刁鑽的原因。
As questions set in the past cannot be reused and questions cannot be the same as the mock questions found in the market they will only become trickier . These are exactly the reasons why the questions have become more difficult and trickier
局方表示，已經向學校強調不要因為TSA而操練學生，而全港官校更厲害，牽頭不購買TSA的補充練習。
The Education Bureau claimed that it has strongly advised schools that they should not drill students for TSA and all government schools in Hong Kong have even taken one step further they have taken the lead to refuse buying TSA supplementary exercise books
但是，只要局方一天在計算學生的達標率，學校便無可奈何，有壓力要操練、要競爭，這種競爭的壓力和達標的壓力揮之不去。
Nevertheless as long as the Education Bureau will take into consideration the attainment rates of students schools will have no choice but drill students to compete under pressure . This kind of pressure to compete and attain the standards required cannot be eliminated
TSA今天變成一個"過街老鼠"的議題，局長，為何是"過街老鼠"呢？
The subject of TSA has now become a scurrying rat which everyone wants to get rid of . Secretary why is TSA like a scurrying rat?
這是一個"過街老鼠"的議題，因為它引申出壓力的問題，除了為小三學生本來已經繁重的功課量再增加負擔，也為學校和老師帶來壓力，令TSA由一個低風險的評估，變成一個高風險評估的主要元兇。
TSA is like a scurrying rat because it creates pressure . Apart from increasing the burden for Primary Three students who already have a lot of homework to do TSA also puts additional pressure on schools and teachers . Thus pressure is the main culprit for turning TSA from a low - risk assessment to a high - risk assessment
正正因為教育局過往濫用TSA的數據，向學校和辦學團體施壓，做壞手勢，將壓力層層輸送，導致可憐的小學生天天也要進行無間斷的操練，務求令學校的TSA成績好看一些，避免被"殺校"，或減低辦學團體日後申請新校舍的成功比率。
The Education Bureau has manipulated the data collected from TSA in the past to pressurize schools and school sponsoring bodies and under the bad practice of transferring pressure from one level to another the poor primary students are subjected to continuous drilling every day so that the schools will have better performance in TSA . This will save schools from closure or prevent school sponsoring bodies from recording a low rate of success in their applications for building new school premises
雖然局方承諾不會濫用TSA的數據，不會再向學校施壓，所以將TSA成績從學校表現指標中移除，但教育局能否保證TSA的成績不會成為"殺校"和新校舍審批的指標呢？
The Education Bureau has promised that it will neither manipulate the data collected from TSA nor pressurize schools and will remove TSA performance from the indicators of school performance but will it guarantee that TSA performance will not be used as an indicator in deciding whether a school will be closed and whether an application for building new school premises will be approved?
我們曾經聽聞，有些辦學團體會利用轄下學校的TSA成績製成排名榜，向各校施壓，局方究竟是否知悉有關數據會被人如此扭曲，變成學生功課壓力的元兇呢？
We have heard that some school sponsoring bodies have used TSA performance of their schools to compile ranking lists to exert pressure on them . Does the Education Bureau know that the data has been distorted in such a way that it has become the main culprit for putting pressure on students?
所謂考試後的學校報告，是否真的無法被坊間或被學校自行計算其達標率，計算學校的排名呢？
Is there really no way the market or the schools can use the report issued after TSA to work out attainment rates or school ranking?
當然，局方已經拍板，全港小學將於今年5月參加BCA，再多的聯署和抗議也仿如聽不到般。
Certainly the Education Bureau has decided that all primary schools in Hong Kong will participate in BCA in May this year and even if more people signed the petition or protested it will turn a deaf ear to them
教育局一意孤行要擴大這個所謂研究計劃。
The Education Bureau insisted that it would extend the so - called research study
教育局局長一再迴避學校能否獲豁免參加BCA，只謂局方樂意跟進個別個案，但如果學校不報考，又會"照肺"，問學校為何不報考，這些便是壓力。
The Secretary for Education has repeatedly avoided answering the question of whether schools would be exempted from participating in BCA . He only said that the Education Bureau would be willing to follow up on individual cases . However if a school does not enrol in BCA it will be bombarded with questions of why it does not enrol
無可否認，有些家長確實是TSA的fans，但其他反對考TSA的學生、反對其子女日以繼夜、夜以繼日進行TSA 操練的家長，他們是否可以選擇呢？
That is pressure . Undeniably some parents are TSA fans; but there are students who object to taking TSA and there are parents who object to subjecting their children to continuous drilling day and night do these people have a choice?
子女的健康，精神上被迫要承受壓力，父母有權管嗎？
Do parents have the right to stop something if it affects their childrens health and subjects them to emotional strain?
是否要迫到更多學童輕生，局長才肯收手？
Will the Secretary only stop implementing BCA when more children take their lives because of excessive pressure?
如果父母相信學校，相信校董、校長、老師不會因為TSA而進行操練，並認為TSA只是一個低風險的評估，認同其對教與學的回饋和功能，他們會絕對歡迎子女參與這項研究計劃，幫助教育局收集不同的數據及意見，但肯定有一部分家長不認同TSA的理念，認為學校過度操練TSA，否則不會有這麼多反TSA的關注組、同盟和群組。
If parents trust that the schools the school management committees the principals and the teachers will not drill the students because of TSA; if parents consider that TSA is just a low - risk assessment and endorse the contributions and functions of TSA they will definitely allow their children to participate in this research study so as to help the Education Bureau collect various data and views . Nevertheless I am sure that some parents do not endorse the philosophy of TSA and believe that schools will drill students excessively for getting good results . Otherwise why are there so many concern groups alliances and groups which oppose TSA?
教育局是否可以完全不聽、不理他們的聲音呢？
Can the Education Bureau really ignore their voices?
所以，TSA是應該全面取消的。
Therefore TSA should be completely abolished
當然，現在說取消或暫緩可能太遲，因為學校已經在操練，很多學生已在捱苦，但為了應付今年的BCA，我想借這個施政報告議案辯論告訴家長，如果你們認為不考這個無謂的BCA對子女更好，請寫信給學校，向校方申請豁免參加無謂的BCA。
Certainly it may be too late to demand the abolition or suspension of BCA because schools are already drilling students and many students are already suffering . However to deal with the upcoming BCA this year I would like to take the opportunity of this debate on the motion of thanks to tell parents that if they think it will be better for their children not to take BCA they can write to the schools asking for exemption
談到教育，當然不可以不繼續批評。
With regard to education I certainly cannot stop criticizing
全港本地非牟利幼稚園有大約760間，但當中約600間還在收取學費。
At present there are about 760 non - profit - making kindergartens across the territory but about 600 of them still charge a fee
這是以學校為單位。
That is the number of kindergartens
以學生人數為單位，參考2015年幼稚園學生人數的資料，就讀全日制幼稚園的學生人數約45,000人；就讀半日制的學生約106,000人。
In terms of the number of students according to the information in 2015 there are about 45 000 whole - day kindergarten students and about 106 000 half - day kindergarten students
局長，這算甚麼免費幼兒教育呢？
Secretary how can that be regarded as free kindergarten education?
要付錢是否免費呢？
Is something which requires payment free?
政府一方面說鼓勵婦女就業，另一方面只提供免費半日制幼稚園教育，試問這些母親如果沒有或不能夠聘請傭人，怎能找全職工作？
While the Government is saying that it encourages women to work it provides free education only in half - day kindergartens how then can mothers work on a full - time basis if they have not employed or cannot afford to employ domestic helpers?
局長怎可以辜負這群母親的願望，不實行全面的15年免費教育呢？
How can the Secretary shatter the hope of mothers by failing to fully implement 15 - year free education?
康傑幼稚園正正反映出整個幼稚園規劃的脆弱，原來一間幼稚園可以因為加租，可以因為商業價錢的考量，令學生隨時失學，亦隨時無法畢業。
The case of Good Health Kindergarten clearly shows the weakness of the overall planning of our kindergarten education . It is surprising that a kindergarten will actually expose its students to the risks of discontinuing and failing to complete their studies because of rental increase and its business consideration of costs
我上星期致函局長，提到我們收到市民求助，指其子女報讀的康傑中英文幼稚園，因為續租問題一直未能與業主和記黃埔有限公司商討，以致不知道幼稚園下學年能否繼續開班。
I wrote to the Secretary last week telling him that we have received requests for help from members of the public . The people said that their children have enrolled in Good Health Anglo - Chinese Kindergarten Ap Lei Chau . Since they have tried but failed to discuss with the landlord of the kindergarten premises Hutchison Whampoa Limited HWL on the issue of tenancy agreement renewal they do not know whether the kindergarten will continue to offer classes in the next academic year
有部分家長已選擇了該校而放棄其他學校，如果學校未能開班，其子女便無法入讀，受影響的學生超過100人。
Some parents have chosen this kindergarten and given up the chances for their children to study in other kindergartens . If the kindergarten will not offer classes their children have no place to study more than 100 students will be affected
據我所知，和黃應該會在本星期與幼稚園商討續租事宜，我當然希望有好結果，希望學生可以繼續讀書。
As I understand it HWL will discuss with the kindergarten on the issue of tenancy agreement renewal later this week . I certainly hope that there will be good results and the students can continue with their studies
我在此希望局長繼續敦促業主要有良心，不要純粹因為商業上的租值利潤而趕走一群非常彷徨的學生和家長。
I also hope that the Secretary will continue to urge the landlord to be more conscience minded and do not drive away a group of anxious students and parents just because of its business consideration of rental profit
此事只是冰山一角，我希望教育局做好長遠規劃。
The incident is just the tip of the iceberg . I hope that the Education Bureau can make proper long - term planning
即使是獨立的私立幼稚園，也不應純粹因為金錢而令一群學生流離漂泊。
Even an independent private kindergarten should not make a group of students leave their place of study just because of monetary considerations
有精神病患的學生在學習、社交、情緒上都需要適當的支援，希望政府在提供金錢上的支援的同時，也要確保人力上的支援充足，這樣才能長期為有需要的學童提供最有效的支援。
I support the measure . Students with mental illness need appropriate support in learning socializing and handling of emotions . Apart from providing funding support I hope that the Government will also ensure that there will be sufficient manpower support which is necessary for providing the students in need with the most effective support on a long - term basis
教師工作量不太繁重，才會有時間跟學生建立關係， 才能洞悉學生在情緒及學習等哪方面需要支援。
If the teachers are not overloaded they will have time to establish relationships with the students so that they can clearly identify the emotional and learning support the students need
政府亦應加強學校、教師及家長對精神健康的認知。
The Government should also promote understanding of mental health in schools teachers and parents
如果大家能正視這問題，便不會再避而不談。
If people can face the problem squarely they will not avoid talking about it
當局也要留意專責人員的支援，駐校社工是學校輔導制度中重要的一環，所以當局為了配合整套支援學生健康的政策，必須檢視中學一校一社工的人手需求。
The authorities should also pay attention to the support given to designated personnel . As school social worker is an important part of the school guidance system the authorities must review whether the arrangement of one social worker for each secondary school can meet the manpower requirement needed to dovetail with the entire policy of supporting the promotion of students health
不少社工獨力面對七八十宗個案，又要處理統籌很多活動和講座等，工作量大又怎能提供適切的支援？
Many social workers have to handle 70 to 80 cases on their own and organize many activities and seminars etc . How will they be able to provide appropriate support when their workload is so heavy?
當局亦必須增加小學輔導人員，因為這些人員正嚴重流失。
The authorities should also increase the number of primary school guidance personnel because the wastage rate is very high
如果當局能正視這個問題，增加人手，挽留人才，小學生才能從小培養向輔導人員傾訴的習慣，不會害怕被標籤為問題學生。
If the authorities can face up to the problem increase the number of these personnel and retain talents primary school students will gradually form the habit of sharing their feelings with the guidance personnel without having to worry that they will be labelled as problem students
中長期方面，各個新發展區和新市鎮擴展，加上正在規劃的潛在鐵路物業發展項目，可提供超過22萬個住宅單位。
For the medium to long term new development areas NDAs extended new towns and potential railway property development projects now under planning can provide more than 220 000 residential units
姚議員特別留意到啟德發展區的酒店供應情況。
Mr YIU has paid special attention to the availability of hotels in the Kai Tak Development Area
就業是民生之本，和諧之基。
Employment is the basis of peoples livelihood and the foundation of harmony
特區政府一直積極促進勞資和諧，並因應香港的整體社會及經濟發展的步伐，以及在平衡僱員利益與僱主負擔能力的情況下，致力改善勞工權益。
The SAR Government has been actively promoting a harmonious employer - employee relationship and striving to improve labour rights at a pace commensurate with Hong Kongs overall socio - economic development while striking a balance between employees interests and employers affordability
在過去1年，香港的就業市場大致平穩，最新失業率維持在3.3%的低水平，接近全民就業，失業綜援個案更連續下跌89個月。
Over the past year the employment market in Hong Kong has been generally stable with the latest unemployment rate remaining low at 3.3 % a level close to full employment and the number of unemployment cases under the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance Scheme has even decreased for 89 consecutive months
