我們看看有實施限購令的澳洲，近月樓價下跌速度加快，證明引入限購令措施奏效。
In Australia where a purchase restriction has been imposed property prices have dropped more rapidly in recent months proving that the introduction of a purchase restriction is indeed effective
財經事務及庫務局局長劉怡翔補充，收回的金額可以提振本地生產總值1.7%至2%，第一年多出的200億元剛好相等於預算案建議撥款200億元購置60個物業，以供設立超過130項社福設施，當中包括安老院舍、日間護理中心等。
Mr James Henry LAU the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury added that the recovered amount can boost local Gross Domestic Product by 1.7 % to 2 % and the 20 billion recovered in the first year is equivalent to the amount proposed in the Budget for the purchase of 60 properties for accommodating more than 130 welfare facilities such as elderly centres and day child care centres
我想對此多點着墨，以表達我的看法和批評，因為這項措施會令政府成為社福設施需求的一部分。
I would like to talk more on this namely my views and criticisms on this measure because it will make the Government part of the demand for welfare facilities
眾所周知，當需求增加，成交價格就會提高，客觀效果是變相抬高市價。
As we all know prices increase when demand increases and the objective effect of it is pushing up market prices
政府以200億元購買60個物業，透過買鋪間接幫炒家托市。
The Governments purchase of 60 properties at 20 billion will indirectly prop up the market for speculators
而這些設施又不知道是以資助還是私營模式營運，最終會出現政府向商界輸送利益的情況。
We do not know if these facilities will operate on a subvention or private mode but a transfer of interests to the business sector will happen ultimately
財政司司長陳茂波豪拋200億元購買60個商鋪單位，勞工及福利局局長羅致光就站出來辯護，說200億元只能買全港樓面面積的0.1%，金額太少，不算托市。
Financial Secretary Paul CHAN splurged 20 billion on 60 shop units while Secretary for Labour and Welfare Dr LAW Chi - kwong came forth to defend him saying that as 20 billion can only purchase 0.1 % of the total floor area in Hong Kong the amount is too small to prop up the market
局長，如果一心要做這大動作，目光這麼遠大，我們又看看200億元可以買到甚麼商廈。
Since the Secretary has his mind set on such a great move with such a far - reaching vision let us take a look at what commercial buildings can be purchased with 20 billion
二百億元是非常龐大的公帑金額，這些成交價200億元可買兩次大新金融中心、125億元買美國萬通大廈、163億元買合和中心已是早前中資、紅資大舉湧港狂掃商廈時創下的最高成交價或較高估值。
The 20 billion is a huge amount of public money and these prices―20 billion for the Dah Sing Financial Centre twice; 12.5 billion for the Mass Mutual Tower and 16.3 billion for the Hopewell Centre―are already the top transaction prices or the highest valuations recorded when Chinese capital came to snap up commercial buildings in Hong Kong earlier on
近月中資退潮，2019年首2個月工商鋪位成交總額只有259億元，所以財政司司長......
As Chinese capital has withdrawn in the past month a total transaction value of only 25.9 billion was recorded for industrial commercial and shop units in the first two months of 2019 . So the Financial Secretary
2019年首2個月工商鋪位成交總額只有259億元，財政司司長陳茂波一次過投放的金額已相等於全香港數個月的成交總額，這豈不是慷納稅人之慨、牽頭高位接貨？
A total transaction value of only 25.9 billion was recorded for industrial commercial and shop units in the first two months of 2019 . The one - off investment by Financial Secretary Paul CHAN is equivalent to the total transaction value in the entire Hong Kong in the past several months . Is he not acting generously at the expense of taxpayers in making purchases at high prices?
我們再看看，2005年至2018年總共有109個新建的公營房屋項目，當中原來有接近一半沒有預留地方作社福設施。
Let us take a further look . Among the 109 new public housing projects in 2005 to 2018 nearly half of them 53 projects have not reserved any space for welfare facilities
是1,666間，數字驚人。
It is an astonishing 1 666
早前土地大辯論明明說商業空間不足，所以要硬銷東大嶼填海人工島，但政府有地卻不興建社福機構、社福設施和社區中心，硬要與民間爭地來用。
The grand debate on land supply earlier on indicated that there is a shortage of commercial space thus the need to hard sell the reclamation works to build artificial islands off East Lantau . The Government is not using readily available sites for welfare facilities and community centres . Instead it competes for land supply with the people
這就是財政司司長的理財新哲學：高買低賣，商鋪歷史高位就急急接貨，GIC用地卻用來曬太陽或改建為低密度房屋。
This is the new financial philosophy of the Financial Secretary buying at high prices and selling at low prices; rushing to purchase shop units at peak prices while GIC sites are left idle or rezoned for low - density housing
主席，接下來我亦想特別強調，預算案預留了60億元發展新海濱長廊及改善海濱設施。
Chairman next I would like to comment on the 6 billion earmarked in the Budget for developing new harbourfront promenades and improving harbourfront facilities
我認為，相關金額由基本工程儲備基金撥款，便有機會側重興建華而不實的硬件設施，而忽略透過增加水上活動，為居民提供更好的安排及設施。
In my opinion using the Capital Works Reserve Fund to fund the project will potentially result in showy and impractical hardware facilities rather than focusing on providing better aquatic activities and facilities for the residents
過去大半年，港珠澳大橋和高鐵啟用後，大量不過夜、低消費、低端旅客來港，每個社區都受到影響。
For more than half a year since the commissioning of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge and Express Rail Link a large number of non - overnight low - spending low - end visitors have come to Hong Kong and affected every community
早年北區、上水、粉嶺、沙田、馬鞍山、將軍澳受到影響，現時波及土瓜灣、東涌及荃灣，這些社區都逐漸被這些不過夜、絕大部分來自大陸的旅客迫爆，居民生活空間受到侵佔。
The North District Sheung Shui Fanling Sha Tin Ma On Shan and Tseung Kwan O were affected in the earlier years . Now even To Kwa Wan Tung Chung and Tsuen Wan are crammed with non - overnight visitors mostly from the Mainland who invade the living space of the local residents
香港的旅客承載量已經超負荷，但政府卻視而不見，還要豪花3億多元來做宣傳。
Hong Kongs tourism carrying capacity is overloaded but the Government turns a blind eye to that and continues to spend more than 300 million on promoting tourism
2012年，時任特首梁振英最低限度也發表了《香港承受及接待旅客能力評估報告》，儘管報告錯誤研判，指旅客不斷上升，日後需要興建更多酒店房間去滿足需求。
In 2012 the then Chief Executive LEUNG Chun - ying at least made the effort to issue the Assessment Report on Hong Kongs Capacity to Receive Tourists even though the report made the wrong assessment that more hotel rooms had to be built to accommodate the sustained growth in the number of visitors
旅遊形態改變，香港人的生活空間受到 影響。
The change in travel pattern has affected the living space of Hong Kong people
但是，我們的政府只是無止境地說要興建更多旅遊景點，要做更多宣傳，卻罔顧民生困苦，香港人要看得很清楚。
Nevertheless our Government knows only to build more tourist spots and do more promotion endlessly while neglecting the hardship faced by the people . Hong Kong people must see this clearly
任何一個地方都有旅客承載量上限，香港人口730萬，是日本人口1億3,000多萬的十六分之一；2018年訪港旅客數目是6,500萬，當中接近一半是不過夜旅客，相比日本2018年的2,780萬人次，多出一倍有多。
There is a maximum tourism carrying capacity for every place . Hong Kong has a population of 7.3 million people which is one sixteenth of Japans population of more than 130 million . However the number of inbound visitors in 2018 was 65 million more than double Japans 27.8 million in 2018
香港只是個彈丸之地，為何這麼簡單的事實都搞不清楚呢？
Why can they not understand the simple fact that Hong Kong is only a small city?
發展旅遊業、酒店業、零售業是有社會成本的，現在全香港正在承受，但政府卻置若罔聞。
There are social costs in developing tourism hotel and retail industries which the entire Hong Kong is now paying but the Government has turned a blind eye to the situation
所以，我希望政府考慮立即改革現時"一周一行"的制度，改為"一月一行"，甚至"多月一行"，還要檢視香港的旅客承載量，為香港的旅客量設上限，亦要運用一些手段，例如徵收旅遊稅，以改善香港現時多個社區被旅客迫爆的情況。
Therefore I hope the Government will consider reforming the current one trip per week system immediately . It should be changed to one trip per month or even one trip per several months . The Government should also examine Hong Kongs tourism carrying capacity and set a ceiling for the number of inbound visitors
總括而言，預算案顯示了特區政府"重基建，輕民生"、傾斜金融地產、引入外來需求，完全反映政府財政管理思維長期視基建及硬件設備為推動香港經濟發展的投資；相反，教育、醫療、安老則被視為支出，但這些並非支出......
Measures such as a tourist tax should also be introduced in order to improve the overcrowding of visitors in many areas of Hong Kong . In a nutshell the Budget underlines the Governments emphasis on infrastructure and scant attention to peoples livelihood . Its bias in favour of the financial and real estate sectors and introduction of external demand fully demonstrate its long - standing financial management mindset that infrastructure and hardware are considered as an investment that drives Hong Kongs economic development while education health care and elderly care are considered expenditures but these are not expenditures
本會現在成為全體委員會，審議《2019年撥款條例草案》。
Council now becomes committee of the whole Council to consider the Appropriation Bill 2019
根據《議事規則》第68條，全體委員會會先審議附表，然後審議條文。
In accordance with Rule 68 of the Rules of Procedure committee will first consider the Schedule and then the clauses
議員已獲通知，今年審議《條例草案》的時間編配大致與去年相若。
Members have been informed that the allocation of time for consideration of the Bill this year is broadly the same as that of last year
全體委員會將會分3個環節處理《條例草案》的有關程序，詳情載於講稿附錄1。
Committee will deal with the relevant proceedings on the Bill in three sessions the details of which are set out in Appendix 1 to the Script
在第一個環節，會先合併辯論沒有修正案的總目。
In the first session there will be a joint debate on heads with no amendment
辯論結束後，會隨即表決將有關總目的款額納入附表。
We will proceed to vote on whether the sums for the relevant heads stand part of the Schedule immediately following the conclusion of the debate
之後全體委員會會進入第二 個環節，就所有修正案及相關總目進行合併辯論，然後逐一表決修正案及處理納入議案。
Committee will then move on to the second session to conduct a joint debate on all the amendments and the relevant heads . We will then vote on the amendments seriatim and deal with questions of the sums standing part of the Bill
之後全體委員會會進入第三個環節，辯論第1及2條納入《條例草案》。
Committee will then move on to the third session to debate the question that clauses 1 and 2 stand part of the Bill
委員可在此環節說明是否整體支持《條例草案》。
In this session Members may indicate whether they support the Bill as a whole
辯論結束後，會逐一表決有關議題，直至完成三讀。
After the conclusion of the debate the relevant questions will be put to vote seriatim until Third Reading is completed
本會會在5月16日完成《條例草案》的所有程序。
All proceedings on the Bill will be completed at the meeting on 16 May
我想在此呼籲議員要善用議會時間，審議撥款條例草案。
I would like to appeal to Members to make the best use of the meeting time of this Council for the deliberations on the Appropriation Bill
在這個環節，全體委員會會先就秘書剛讀出沒有修正案的33個總目的款額納入附表，進行合併辯論。之後會一併表決該些總目的款額納入附表。
In this session committee will first proceed to a joint debate on the sums for the 33 heads with no amendment read out by the Clerk just now standing part of the Schedule and then vote on the sums for those heads standing part of the Schedule
委員已獲通知，這個環節會進行約7小時。
Members have already been informed that this session will take approximately seven hours
現在進入第二個環節。
We now proceed to the second session
在這個環節，全體委員會會就秘書剛讀出的51個總目的修正案，以及該些總目的款額納入附表，進行合併辯論。
In this session the committee will proceed to a joint debate on the amendments to the 51 heads read out by the Clerk just now and the sums for such heads standing part of the Schedule
16位議員合共提出56項修正案，旨在削減該51個總目內不同的撥款數額。
Sixteen Members have proposed a total of 56 amendments which seek to reduce the various sums for the 51 heads
我會先請胡志偉議員發言及動議講稿附錄1A編號1的修正案，然後依次請其他提出修正案的議員發言；但他們在現階段不可動議修正案。
I will first call upon Mr WU Chi - wai to speak and move Amendment No . 1 set out in Appendix 1A to the Script . Then I will call upon other amendment proposers to speak in sequence but they may not move their amendments at this stage
主席，議會現正審議將33個沒有修正案的開支總目納入附表。
Chairman the examination underway in the Legislative Council concerns the sums for the 33 heads with no amendment standing part of the Schedule
將這些沒有修正案的開支總目納入附表極為重要，如果這些開支總目未能納入附表，將對《2019年撥款條例草案》造成嚴重影響，涉及的部門和機構將不能及時為市民提供所需要的服務。
The importance of the sums of these heads with no amendment standing part of the Schedule cannot be overstated . Failure to have the sums of these heads stand part of the Schedule would cause serious impacts on the Appropriation Bill 2019 the Bill rendering the departments and organizations concerned unable to provide the necessary services to the public
為免影響公共服務及政府的正常運作，以及讓財政預算案的建議盡快推行，我懇請各位委員以公眾利益為依歸，支持將這些總目納入附表，並盡快通過《條例草案》。
To avoid any disruptions to public services and the normal functioning of the Government and ensure the early implementation of the proposals in the Budget I implore Members to put public interest above all else support the sums of these heads standing part of the Schedule and pass the Bill expeditiously
主席，我首先感謝各位議員對醫療衞生及市政服務等重要的民生議題提出寶貴的意見。
President for starters I would like to thank Honourable Members for their valuable opinions on important issues concerning peoples livelihood such as health care and medical services as well as municipal services
在公共醫療服務方面，政府自2018-2019年度起以每3年為一周期，按照人口增長比例和人口結構的變動，逐步遞增給醫院管理局的經常撥款。
With respect to public health care services the Government has from 2018 - 2019 onwards increased the recurrent funding for the Hospital Authority HA progressively on a triennium basis having regard to population growth rates and demographic changes
我想在這裏重點介紹一些大家比較關注的措施。
Here I would like to highlight some of the measures about which people are more concerned
首先，人手措施方面，醫管局會利用增撥的7億元經常撥款，推行措施以提高士氣和挽留人才。
First of all on manpower measures HA will allocate the additional recurrent funding of 700 million to implementing various measures to boost staff morale and retain talents
其中，醫管局已通過由4月1日起增加醫生候召補償定額酬金和將新入職與現職病人服務助理、運作助理及行政助理的薪酬增加8%。
Among such measures HA has endorsed the enhancement of the Fixed - rate Honorarium for doctors and a pay rise at 8 % for new recruits and serving staff in respect of Patient Care Assistants Operation Assistants and Executive Assistants with effect from 1 April
醫管局亦會繼續就醫生、護士和專職醫療人員推行特別退休後重聘計劃。
HA will also continue to implement the Special Retired and Rehire Scheme for doctors nurses and allied health staff
至於其他吸引和挽留人才措施，醫管局會致力盡快推行。
HA will strive to implement other measures to attract and retain talents as expeditiously as possible
在藥物方面，醫管局會運用增撥的4億元將更多新藥物納入藥物名冊，並擴大名冊內專用藥物的治療應用範圍，以標準收費提供予病人使用。
In respect of drugs HA will use the additional funding of 400 million to include more new drugs in the Drug Formulary and extend the therapeutic applications of the special drugs listed in the Drug Formulary with a view to providing these drugs for use by patients at standard fees and charges
為加強科技應用，政府已預留50億元非經常撥款，供醫管局購置先進設備及推行電腦化計劃。
To enhance the application of technology the Government has set aside a non - recurrent funding of 5 billion for HA to acquire advanced equipment and implement computerization projects
政府亦已預留100億元作公營醫療撥款穩定基金，應付日後醫管局因突發情況需要額外撥款的需求。
The Government has also earmarked 10 billion for the setting up of a public healthcare stabilization fund so as to prepare for any additional funding which may be required by HA in case of unexpected circumstances in the future
有見於未來醫療專業人手緊絀，政府會繼續增加醫療培訓學額。
In view of the tight manpower situation of the health care profession in the future the Government will continue to increase the number of health care training places
同時，為了增加大學教育資助委員會資助大學的醫療專業培訓容量，政府已預留約200億元，以提升和增加相關大學的教學設施，進行短、中及長期的工程項目。
At the same time with a view to expanding the capacity for professional health care training of University Grants Committee UGC - funded universities the Government has earmarked about 20 billion for short - medium - and long - term works projects to upgrade and increase the teaching facilities of the relevant universities
為持續監察醫療專業人員的人手情況，政府會配合教資會的3年規劃期，每3年進行一次醫療專業人員人力規劃和推算工作。
As an ongoing initiative to monitor the manpower situation of health care professionals the Government will conduct manpower planning and projections for health care professionals once every three years in step with the triennial planning cycle of UGC
新一輪人力推算工作已經展開，預期於2020年內公布結果。
The new round of manpower projection exercise has already commenced and the results are expected to be published in 2020
在疫苗接種方面，我們會擴大"學校外展疫苗接種計劃"以涵蓋更多小學、幼稚園及幼兒中心；同時亦會由下學年起為小五及小六女童提供到校接種子宮頸癌疫苗服務。
Regarding vaccination we will extend the School Outreach Vaccination Programme to cover more primary schools kindergartens and child care centres . At the same time we will provide school girls in Primary Five and Primary Six with cervical cancer vaccination service in schools commencing from the next academic year
在基層醫療發展方面，為推動基層醫療發展，全港首個地區康健中心，預計今年第三季在葵青區投入服務。
As regards the development of primary health care with the aim of promoting the development of primary health care Hong Kongs first district health centre DHC located in Kwai Tsing District is expected to commence operation in the third quarter of this year
我們正積極尋找合適的選址，以期在未來數年在其他地區開設這類康健中心。
We are actively looking for suitable sites to set up such DHCs in other districts in the coming few years
長者醫療券方面，今年財政預算案會為合資格長者提供額外一次性1,000元金額，並將累積上限增至8,000元。
On Elderly Health Care Vouchers EHVs an additional 1,000 worth of EHVs will be provided on a one - off basis to each eligible elderly person whereas the accumulation limit of EHVs will also be increased to 8,000 as set out in this years Budget
有關措施及其他檢討後推出的措施，包括將可用於視光服務的金額限於每兩年2,000元，將於《2019年撥款條例草案》通過後盡快實施。
Such measures together with other measures introduced after a review including the introduction of a cap on the amount of EHVs that can be spent on optometry services at a level of 2,000 every two years will be implemented as soon as possible after the passage of the Appropriation Bill 2019
政府正積極計劃發展香港首間中醫醫院。
The Government is actively planning for the development of the first Chinese medicine hospital in Hong Kong
我們預計於今年下半年招標揀選一間非牟利機構以營運中醫醫院，預計於2024年年底落成分階段投入服務。
We expect to conduct a tender exercise in the second half of the year to identify a non - profit - making organization to operate the hospital which is targeted to commence operation in phases in late 2024
政府會加大18區中醫教研中心的經常性資助，以提供有資助中醫門診服務；亦即將推出5億元專項中醫藥發展基金的資助項目，以促進中醫藥發展。
The Government will increase the recurrent subvention for the Chinese Medicine Centres for Training and Research in the 18 districts in order to provide subsidized outpatient Chinese medicine services . The dedicated Chinese Medicine Development Fund of 500 million aimed at subsidizing projects to promote the development of Chinese medicine will soon be launched as well
至於改善環境衞生方面，我們會繼續投入更多資源改善環境衞生，包括增撥約7,000萬元加強潔淨服務，以及增設專責執法小隊。
On improving environmental hygiene we will continue to allocate more resources to improving environmental hygiene including the allocation of an additional funding of 70 million to strengthen cleansing services and the setting up of additional dedicated enforcement teams
食物環境衞生署會積極應用科技，並正試驗多項不同技術及設備，加強防治蟲鼠及環境衞生方面的工作。
The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department FEHD will actively pursue the application of technologies and has been introducing technologies and equipment for trial use so as to strengthen its work on pest control and environmental hygiene
至於翻新公廁方面，我藉此機會感謝多位議員支持政府在未來5年以約6億元翻新食環署管理的約240所公廁。
Regarding the refurbishment of public toilets I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many Members who have supported the proposal of the Government to refurbish about 240 public toilets managed by FEHD in the coming five years incurring a total expenditure of approximately 600 million
食環署會與建築署探討加快工程進度，並按照個別公廁的保養情況、使用率、市民意見等因素，定出工作優次。
FEHD will explore with the Architectural Services Department the possibility of expediting the progress of the refurbishment works and will take into account factors such as the maintenance condition utilization rates and public views in determining the priorities of the toilets to be refurbished
此外，我們亦會改善公廁的維修及日常管理。
In addition we will improve the repairs and ongoing management of public toilets
最後，我們剛就改善動物福利的建議展開為期3個月的公眾諮詢，我們今年亦增加了對團體在推廣動物福利和領養工作的資助，未來亦會繼續加強宣傳教育及執法的工作。
Lastly we have just kick - started a three - month public consultation exercise on the proposals to enhance animal welfare . We have also increased in this year the subvention for relevant organizations to promote animal welfare and adoption . We will also continue to step up our publicity education and enforcement efforts in the future
毛孟靜議員剛才談論的總目160，明顯與我們目前的辯論議題有直接關係，所以在你打斷議員發言前，麻煩你聽清楚、想清楚。
Obviously head 160 which Ms Claudia MO talked about just now is directly related to the question under our present debate . Therefore before you interrupt a Members speech would you please listen carefully and think carefully
代理主席，我今天的發言主要是討論3個總目，分別為80、94及160。
Deputy Chairman today I will mainly discuss three heads in my speech the numbers of which are respectively 80 94 and 160
總目80是司法機構，我要談論司法機構的原因是，首先，我們看到司法機構的資源不斷增加，這是我們樂見的。
Head 80 is the Judiciary . The reason why I wish to talk about the Judiciary is to begin with we have seen continuous increases in the resources for the Judiciary . We are pleased to see this
我們亦看到特區政府在給予司法機構的資源上，絕對沒有手軟。
We have also seen that the Special Administrative Region Government is by no means tight - fisted in allocating resources to the Judiciary
我們明白法律界的人事，尤其是資深大律師或私人執業律師，具相關經驗而能夠擔任司法機構的職位、願意投身司法機構並提供服務的人，確實是買少見少。
We understand the personnel situation in the legal sector . In particular senior counsels or solicitors in private practice with the relevant experience capable of assuming the positions in the Judiciary and willing to join and serve the Judiciary have indeed become a rarity
司法機構過去亦曾就此問題落力研究。
The Judiciary has also made efforts in studying this issue
例如過去兩年來，我們看到司法機構人員的薪金一直有所增加，亦已大幅提升。
For example over the past two years we have seen that the salaries for judicial officers have been increasing and the increase is substantial
很多判詞均在超過3個月或更長的時間後才頒布，這對香港的法治有很大影響，亦是很多人不想在香港打官司的原因。
Many judgments took more than three months or even longer to hand down . This has a great impact on the rule of law in Hong Kong . It is also the reason why many people do not wish to initiate lawsuits in Hong Kong
雖然我們看到司法機構的資源不斷增加，但這方面仍然未達標，我們希望司法機構能繼續努力，保持水準。
Although we see continuous increases in the resources for the Judiciary it is still below par in this aspect . We hope the Judiciary can carry on with its hard work and maintain its standard
我想談論的第二個總目是94，即法律援助署。
The second head I wish to talk about is head 94 ie . the Legal Aid Department LAD
如果要增加法援署人手，便一定要增加其經常開支。
To increase the manpower of LAD its recurrent expenditure must be increased
我們看到本屆政府願意承諾增加法援署的經常開支，令它能更有效工作和有更多資源聘請人手，這是好事。
We see that the current - term Government is willing to undertake to increase the recurrent expenditure of LAD so that it can work more efficiently and have more resources to recruit manpower . This is a good thing
我們在司法事務委員會已多次進行討論，亦曾約見張建宗司長討論法援服務的改革，但我們仍然未聽到由張建宗司長領導的工作有任何進展。
We have already conducted a number of discussions in the Panel on Administration of Justice and Legal Services . We have also met with Chief Secretary for Administration Matthew CHEUNG to discuss the reform of legal aid services . But we have yet to hear any progress in the work led by Chief Secretary Matthew CHEUNG
最後，我想談一談總目160，即香港電台。
Lastly I wish to talk about head 160 ie . Radio Television Hong Kong RTHK
剛才數位議員亦曾觸及這問題，大家也知道港台的資源多年來嚴重不足，正在議事廳的議員或官員如果曾到港台接受訪問，也會知道它的大廈殘舊不堪，而港台的電視部更是相當殘破。
Just now several Members also touched on this issue . As we all know RTHK has been hamstrung by a serious shortage of resources over the years . If Members or officials present in the Chamber have been to RTHK for interviews they would know that its building is unbearably old
香港作為世界級城市，它的公共廣播機構是不可能如此殘破的。
The Television Division of RTHK is even dilapidated . The public broadcaster of Hong Kong a world city cannot possibly be so dilapidated
我以最多議員提及的香港電台為例。
Let me take RTHK which has been mentioned by the most Members as an example
我也很希望葉議員可以回應，究竟她為何認為港台 不應該報道新聞。
I very much hope that Mrs IP can respond as to why she holds that RTHK should not do news reporting
在英國或加拿大等設有公營電台的國家，當地議員會否公開叫公營電台不要報道新聞而轉做其他工作？
In countries with public broadcasters such as the United Kingdom and Canada would the local legislators openly tell their public broadcasters not to report news and to switch to other work?
我希望下次當我們進入直播室出席節目時，不會像時光倒流回到1970年代般，而是會返回現代，並步向21世紀的未來。
I hope that next time when we enter the on - air studio to attend its programme we will not feel like having gone back to the 1970s . Instead we will be back to the modern age and walk forward towards the 21 century
這是一種錯誤的態度，是絕對不能接受的。
This is a wrong attitude which is absolutely unacceptable
主席，我動議二讀《專營的士服務條例草案》。
President I move the Second Reading of the Franchised Taxi Services Bill the Bill
《條例草案》的主要目的，是透過建立新的規管制度，賦權行政長官會同行政會議批出和管理專營權，以設立專營的士服務。
The main purpose of the Bill is to introduce franchised taxi services through establishing a new regulatory system to confer on the Chief Executive in Council the powers to grant and administer such franchises
近年市民對的士服務多所詬病，同時對較高質素且具備"網約"特色的個人化點對點公共交通服務的需求日見殷切。
In recent years there have been frequent public criticisms of taxi services along with a growing demand for personalized and point - to - point public transport services of higher quality with online hailing features
