從預算案可見，政府未來會繼續瘋狂進行基建，每年的開支將增加1,400億元以上，表面上是為未來作長遠投資，但卻依賴以非經常收入支付經常的基建開支，最終必然會形成尾大不掉的財政包袱。正如一眾鄉紳在車公廟求籤所得的籤文所說："石田為業喜非常，畫餅將來未見香；怎曉田耕耘不得，那知餅食不充腸"。向基建和地產傾斜，正是以"石田為業"。
It can be seen from the Budget that in future the Government will invest frantically on infrastructure development and the expenditure on infrastructure development will increase by over 140 billion a year
還有其他有助小朋友和學校的措施，在"兒童及青少年服務"部分提出實行"一校兩社工"剛才已有議員就此發言，我不在此重複相關開支約3億元。
There are other measures for providing assistance to children and schools . In the section on Child and Youth Services the implementation of two school social workers for each school is proposed―as some Members have spoken on this topic just now I will not repeat―the relevant expenditures are about 300 million
這種教育政策並非為教育服務，而是為創科、基建、大灣區服務，以及為配合國家政策、媚共及"擦'阿爺'鞋"而設。
This education policy does not serve education but innovation and technology infrastructure and the Greater Bay Area; it also ties in with national policies for the purpose of currying favour with the communist regime and Grandpa
為何香港的教育政策及預算案作出這些安排？
How come such arrangements are made in respect of the education policy and the Budget?
我相信大家也很清楚。
I believe all of us are very clear about that
香港的教育體制是否沒有值得投放資源的地方？
Is it true that there are no other areas in our education system where resources should be committed?
不同黨派及跨黨派對此有很多意見，真的是急市民所急。
Different parties and groupings have a lot of opinions in this connection and they really want to address peoples pressing needs
例如，多年前提出的15年免費教育，至今尚未成事；還有全日制和長全日制幼稚園，家長仍在支付幼稚園學費我申報我是其中一名家長。
For example 15 - year free education as proposed many years ago has not yet been implemented; subsidies are not provided for whole - day kindergartens and long whole - day kindergartens and parents still have to pay kindergarten fees―I declare that I am one of these parents
幼兒教育還有許多問題，例如幼師薪級表的問題。
There are many other issues relating to early childhood education eg . a salary scale for kindergarten teachers
在環境政策方面局長今天在席環境政策在預算案中只佔極少篇幅。
In regard to environmental policies―the Secretary is present today―not much is mentioned in the Budget
我聽到一種很可笑的說法，原來環境局局長的民望不算低，因為其他司局長表現很差，為香港帶來很多麻煩，而環境局局長沒有做過甚麼，所以民望高。
There is a very ridiculous saying that the popularity of the Secretary for the Environment is not too low because other Secretaries of Department and Directors of Bureau have performed poorly and created a lot of trouble for Hong Kong . As the Secretary for the Environment has done very little he has gained high popularity
不但沒有時間表，連提也不敢提，連可再生能源佔整體發電的百分比及目標為何。
The Secretary not only has not set the timetable but even dares not propose such tasks as well as the percentage and target of renewable energy to the total electricity generated
所以，我可否說局長真的是無為而治呢？
Therefore can I say that the Secretary has adopted a kind of laissez - faire governance?
應對氣候變化，解決香港回收業面對的問題，花費多少錢，為何隻字不提？
How come nothing has been mentioned in the Budget about the amount to be spent on responding to climate change and solving the problems faced by the recycling industry in Hong Kong?
所以，我們從"林鄭"政府的施政策略或風格看到，在一些少修少補的問題上，公關工作做得很好，懂得收買人心。
Therefore as seen from the governing strategies or style of governance of the Carrie LAM Government it has done a good job in terms of public relations on some patch - up issues and can hence win peoples hearts
但是，在涉及市民的核心利益或解決香港的核心制度問題時，政府十分保守，及與市民，尤其是基層市民斤斤計較。
However when the core interests of the public are involved or when dealing with issues relating to the core system the Government is very conservative and excessively mean with the public especially the grass roots
保安局的薪金開支預算是8億1,900萬元，人手編制為270人，而局長的月薪是335,000元。
The estimated salary of the Security Bureau with an establishment of 270 people is 819 million and the monthly salary of the Secretary is 335,000
接着，當局自製矛盾阻礙修法。
Then the authorities created obstacles to hinder the amendment to the Ordinance
台灣殺人案的疑犯回港後一直被拘押，本月29日判刑，可能會當庭獲釋。
The suspect in the Taiwan murder case has been detained since his return to Hong Kong and he will be sentenced on the 29 of this month . He may be released in court
但是，保安局2018年年初已知道發生該案，如要進行逃犯引渡，應有幾種方法。
The Security Bureau learnt about the case in early 2018 and different approaches can be adopted to extradite the fugitive
但是，當局偏偏拖延至今年2月才提出修例，並狼狽地表示要在4月29日前通過法案。
Yet the authorities have taken no action until February this year to propose the legislative amendment and they awkwardly said that the Bill should be passed before 29 April
主席，發展局在3月19日公布"明日大嶼"工程的造價及初步估算，當時的說法是6,240億元，當然引起了社會上一番議論和質疑，認為政府刻意把造價說小了。
President the Development Bureaus announcement on 19 March that the costs and preliminary estimates of the Lantau Tomorrow project will be 624 billion has certainly aroused discussions and doubts in society for the people think that the Government has deliberately understated the amount
造價包括交椅洲填海興建的人工島、為島上提供基建及連接人工島的交通網絡，以及所有需要在島上興建的基建設施等。
The costs include building artificial islands on reclaimed land around Kau Yi Chau providing infrastructure and transportation network to connect the artificial islands and building all the necessary infrastructures etc
我相信應該不會有人反對香港需要解決土地和住屋問題，但我們應該以聰明、合理及市民共同認同的方法解決有問題。
I believe no one will object that Hong Kong needs to solve its land and housing problem but we should do so with an intelligent and reasonable approach consented by the people
難道要把她找出來追究，叫她"找數"嗎？
Can we hold her accountable and ask her to foot the bill now?
為何政府在《逃犯條例》或民生項目上，也要使用這種伎倆蒙混公眾，而不坦白地、切實地去處理問題？
Why has the Government chosen to use tactics to fool the people instead of addressing the problems honestly and practically as it does in amending the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance or handling other issues of peoples livelihood? . Why does the Government always try to use deceptive tactics to address imminent demands? . It cannot solve problems in this way
雖然我認為這項目可以做得更好，現時的步伐未算太大，但由上屆政府不願意聆聽，直至今屆政府上任後願意聆聽，財政司司長亦預留20億元推行過渡性房屋，我認為可以勉強接受。
The Government of the last term did not listen to the views of the people while the current - term Government has started to do so . The Financial Secretary has earmarked 2 billion for providing transitional housing . I think I can accept the performance though reluctantly
我當然不希望其他部門重蹈覆轍。
I certainly hope that other government departments will not repeat the same mistake
為何一定要由下而上，要由非政府組織負責？
Why should the Government necessarily adopt the bottom - up approach and make NGOs responsible for the projects?
我們的政府很奇怪，經常稱財政緊絀、捉襟見肘，不過卻政治豪賭，搞"明日大嶼"計劃。
Our Government behaves very strangely . It often says that we have a tight budget and it is difficult to make ends meet but it has placed a huge political bet in introducing the Lantau Tomorrow project
雖然現在未有終極結果，亦可能有人上 訴，但政府不斷花錢在其他範疇進行"冤枉"的研究，為何對於由"丁權"案引申出來的900多公頃所謂鄉村式發展用地的未來發展用途，以及具體數據，有多少土地可撥出用作建屋或興建街市，政府完全不肯進行研究，為何政府會採取這種消極態度？
Although the verdict has not been given and people may lodge an appeal against it the Government has been wasting money on conducting unnecessary studies . On the other hand why is the Government unwilling to conduct research on the future development purpose of the 900 - plus hectares of the so - called Village Type Development sites which will be derived from the case about small house concessionary rights as well as the specific data concerned? . How many sites can be allocated for construction of housing and markets?
為何財政司司長又不預留一筆款項，或各部門又不向財政司司長申請一筆研究費用以應社會所急？
Why has the Government adopted such a passive attitude? . Why hasnt the Financial Secretary earmarked funding for this purpose or why havent the government departments applied to him for such funding in meeting the urgent needs of the society?
我希望政府或財政司司長、局長及各部門官員在聽罷我的發言後也可以積極回應，希望我們可以長遠及整體解決在規劃上帶來的種種問題。
I hope that the Government the Financial Secretary Directors of Bureaux and public officers of various government departments can actively respond to my speech after hearing it . I hope that we can solve various planning problems in the long term comprehensively
主席，每年4月立法會大樓旁邊的樹長出木棉花，便提醒我立法會到了盤點政府財政預算的日子，當中包括人手編制、開支預算、成效指標和時間表等。
President in April each year the sight of cotton - tree flowers beside the Legislative Council Complex invariably reminds me that it is time for the Legislative Council to scrutinize the Budget of the Government including staffing establishment estimates of expenditure performance indicators and timetables
預算案開支未有因經濟預期差而減少，自2019-2020年度以後的5個財政年度，公共總開支預計相當於本地生產總值介乎21.6%至22.7%，對比上一年度預測的21.2%至21.8%更為進取。
In the five financial years starting from the year 2019 - 2020 total public expenditure will be equivalent to 21.6 % to 22.7 % of Gross Domestic Product GDP more aggressive than the 21.2 % to 21.8 % as forecasted last year
自上一年度起，財政司司長秉持特首的理財新哲學，打破政府過往公共總開支不 超越本地生產總值的20%的準則，在確保公共財政穩健的前提下，採取前瞻性和策略性的理財方針，投資未來，為市民紓困。
Since last year the Financial Secretary has adhered to the new fiscal philosophy of the Chief Executive . He dropped the previous criterion that total public expenditure should be kept at or below 20 % of GDP and adopted forward - looking and strategic financial management principles to invest for the future and relieve peoples burden on the premise of ensuring healthy public finance
財政司司長今年將824億元房屋儲備金分4年回撥政府帳目，撇除回撥效果，未來5個年度有3個年度均出現赤字預算。
Starting from this year the Financial Secretary will bring back the Housing Reserve of 82.4 billion to the fiscal reserve over four years . After discounting the balance to be brought back budget deficit will occur in three years among the coming five years
本年度赤字預算為38億元，2021-2022年度預測赤字為157億元，2022-2023年度預測赤字是151億元，相比2017-2018年度的1,340億元盈餘，不可同日而語。
The budget deficit for this year will be 3.8 billion the projected deficit for the year 2021 - 2022 will be 15.7 billion and the projected deficit for the year 2022 - 2023 will be 15.1 billion . These are incomparable to the surplus of 134 billion recorded in the year 2017 - 2018
主席，未來數年我們要勒緊褲頭過日子，既然未有好辦法開源，更要做好節流。
President in the coming years we will need to tighten our belts . When we have not identified better ways to generate revenue we should manage our costs
近年大型基建超支，納稅人流失的血汗錢相當可觀。
In recent years due to cost overruns of large - scale infrastructure projects considerable amounts of taxpayers hard - earned money have been wasted
以動工以來一波三折的沙中綫為例，主體工程至今已超支165億元，連同前期工程追加撥款8億5,000萬元，最少超支173億元。
In the case of the Shatin to Central Link project which has seen twists and turns since the commencement of its construction a cost overrun of some 16.5 billion has been recorded for the main works and when the supplementary provisions of 850 million for the advance works are taken into account a cost overrun would reach at least 17.3 billion
如果經濟環境好像早兩年那麼好，有過千億元盈餘，在財政上社會尚可承受，但觀乎未來數年政府相對"手緊"，如果再有大型工程嚴重超支，屆時政府仍要維持進取的開支預算，恐怕財政司司長會很頭痛。
If the economic environment was as promising as several years ago when we easily had a surplus of over 100 billion the financial implications would be acceptable to society . However as the Government will be hard up for money in the coming years if serious cost overruns are recorded for other large - scale projects how to maintain aggressive estimates of government expenditure will probably be a headache for the Financial Secretary
交椅洲人工島填海和多個新發展區項目陸續推展，立法會已就中部水域人工島的研究召開公聽會，政府當下一定要在工程監督和成本控制方面多下苦功，以免因超支、項目管理等問題遭人口實，阻礙對香港長遠發展有利的事情。
As the reclamation for the formation of artificial islands around Kau Yi Chau and various new development area projects have been commenced one after another and the Legislative Council has conducted a public hearing on studies related to artificial islands in the central waters the Government must now put in tons of hard work in terms of project supervision and cost control lest it should be blamed for problems concerning cost overruns and project management and projects that are conducive to the long - term development of Hong Kong should be hindered . Deputy President the Budget this year lacks new initiatives as far as the New Territories Heung Yee Kuk is concerned
代理主席，今年預算案對新界鄉議局而言缺乏亮點，未有回應鄉議局提出豁免新界行車隧道費，以及設立50億元鄉郊建設基金的建議。
The Budget has failed to respond to the proposals of Heung Yee Kuk to exempt the tolls for vehicular tunnels in the New Territories and to set up a 5 billion rural development fund
我也沒有看到政府針對鄉郊建設增撥資源，為此感到失望。
I have also failed to see the allocation of more resources by the Government for rural development . I am therefore disappointed
既然沒有新話題，我唯有回顧一下政府去年和今年就我的界別做過甚麼工作。
Since there are no new topics I will only review what the Government has done for my sector last year and this year
自從我擔任鄉議局主席以來，不斷有村民向我投訴，申請丁屋和重建村屋的審批過程十分漫長，比輪候公屋還要長。
Since I became Chairman of the Heung Yee Kuk villagers have constantly complained to me that the vetting and approval process for applications for building small houses and redeveloping village houses is protracted even longer than the waiting time for public housing
翻查資料，2018年已積壓10,356宗申請個案。
Having accessed the relevant information I realized that there was a backlog of 10 356 applications in 2018
地政總署每年審批大約2,300宗申請，當局去年只處理了476宗重建村屋的個案，較2017年減少近18%。
The Lands Department vets and approves some 2 300 applications each year and the authorities handled only 476 cases of redeveloping village houses last year a decrease of nearly 18 % compared with 2017
我在財務委員會特別會議上詢問箇中原因，政府回覆表示審批時間視乎申請個案的複雜程度等眾多因素而定。
I inquired about the reason at a special meeting of the Finance Committee and the Government replied that the time taken for vetting and approval hinged on various factors including the complexity of an application
代理主席，個案複雜需時較長，聽起來很有邏輯，但亦要合情合理。
Deputy President the saying that it takes a long time to process a complex case sounds logical but it also needs to be rational and reasonable
村民向我投訴，當局處理複雜個案的透明度不足，究竟每一個階段的申請需要多少時間，他們無從得知。
Villagers have complained to me that there is a lack of transparency in the authorities handling of complex cases and they are kept in the dark about how much time is needed for an application in each phase
我接獲政府的答覆後，很難向村民交代，為何只是在原址重建一間村屋，也要"3年又3年"等下去呢？
Having received the reply from the Government I find it difficult to explain to villagers why they have to wait three years and then three additional years for only the in - situ redevelopment of a village house
代理主席，高等法院已就丁權司法覆核案件頒布判詞，裁定小型屋宇政策下的免費建屋牌照合法合憲。
Deputy President the High Court has handed down its judgment on a judicial review case concerning small house concessionary rights saying that the free building licence under the Small House Policy is legal and constitutional
新界原居民的合法傳統權益受到《基本法》第四十條保護，我促請政府加快審批丁屋及重建村屋的申請，不應該再無理拖延。
As the lawful traditional rights and interests of the indigenous inhabitants of the New Territories are protected under Article 40 of the Basic Law I urge the Government to expedite the vetting and approval of applications for building small houses and redeveloping village houses . There should be no further unreasonable delays
就香港整體土地供應而言，由財政司司長擔任主席的土地供應督導委員會將會改組，加強統籌土地供應工作，實現"明日大嶼願景"。
Regarding the overall supply of land in Hong Kong the Steering Committee on Land Supply chaired by the Financial Secretary will be re - structured to strengthen the coordination of land supply and realize the Lantau Tomorrow Vision
除了中部水域填海研究，政府亦會在今年申請涵蓋龍鼓灘、欣澳及小蠔灣的近岸填海研究的撥款。
Apart from studies related to the reclamation in the central waters the Government will also seek funding approval this year for studies on the near - shore reclamations on locations covering Lung Kwu Tan Sunny Bay and Siu Ho Wan
代理主席，我在此申報，我是龍鼓灘村的原居民代表。
Deputy President I hereby declare that I am a representative of the indigenous inhabitants of Lung Kwu Tan Village
龍鼓灘以前環境優美，吸引不少攝影發燒友老遠來拍攝日落，但現在提到龍鼓灘，人們只會聯想到填料庫、英泥廠、焚化爐、堆填區、骨灰龕等。
Lung Kwu Tan used to have beautiful scenery and attract many photography enthusiasts to come from afar to take sunset photos . Nowadays however the mention of Lung Kwu Tan only reminds people of fill banks cement plants incinerators landfills columbaria and so on
預算案今年預留60億元發展新的海濱長廊和休憩空間，改善海濱設施，並研究以公私營形式發展，採用創新、智能、綠色、多元化的設計概念，為市民提供休憩空間。
The Budget this year will earmark 6 billion for developing new harbourfront promenades and open space as well as improving harbourfront facilities . Studies will also be conducted to provide open space to the public through public private partnerships and with innovative smart green and diversified design concepts
我很欣賞政府以積極、創新的思維優化海濱，亦希望政府不要厚此薄彼，在未來的近岸填海計劃，貫徹"宜居城市"的思維，在增加土地供應的同時，亦需要將目光放遠一點，提升當區居民的生活質素，包括開闢新道路、增加休憩空間、引進節能設施等。
I very much appreciate the Governments active and innovative mindset towards harbourfront enhancement . I also hope that the Government will refrain from favouritism and implement the philosophy of a liveable city in future near - shore reclamation projects . While increasing land supply the Government also needs to be more far - sighted and raise local residents quality of living including building new roads increasing open space and introducing energy - saving facilities
今年預算案在鄉郊方面沒有驚喜，不過說得公平一點，早年撥款的偏遠碼頭改善計劃、鄉村寬頻計劃一直進行中。
The Budget this year offers no surprise in terms of rural development but to be fair an improvement programme for piers in remote areas and a broadband service scheme for villages for which the funding applications were both approved years ago have been undertaken on a continuing basis
根據政府向我提供的回覆，擴展光纖網絡至偏遠地區鄉村資助計劃將令235條鄉村、約11萬名村民受惠，改善偏遠鄉村與外界的溝通網絡，行山愛好者亦因而受惠。
Pursuant to the reply provided to me by the Government the Subsidy Scheme to Extend Fibre - based Networks to Villages in Remote Areas will benefit 235 villages and around 110 000 villagers and enhance the communication network between remote villages and the outside world . Hiking enthusiasts will also benefit from this
代理主席，新界不少偏遠鄉村擁有獨特的生態環境、文化風俗、歷史建築和自然遺產資源，十分值得政府投放更多資源活化和保育，促進鄉郊的可持續發展。
Deputy President many remote villages in the New Territories have unique ecological environment culture customs historical architecture and natural heritage resources that are worthy of the commitment of more resources by the Government for revitalization and conservation thus promoting the sustainable development of rural areas
鄉議局一直向政府倡議撥款50億元，為鄉郊基礎建設、推廣旅遊、傳承文化、自然保育及支援特別事故五大範疇設立專項基金。
The Heung Yee Kuk has all along advised the Government to allocate 5 billion to set up a designated fund for such five major areas as rural infrastructure development tourism promotion cultural inheritance nature conservation and assistance in special incidents
政府今年未有接納，希望政府明年會積極考慮。
The Government did not accept the advice this year but I hope it will give actively consideration next year
未 來亦期望鄉郊保育辦公室活化更多偏遠鄉村，打造更多個荔枝窩、沙羅洞的復育計劃，使新界傳統風俗及特色文化得以傳承，回應大眾對城鄉共生的願景。
I also hope that in the future the Countryside Conservation Office will revitalize more remote villages and develop more revitalization plans for Lai Chi Wo and Sha Lo Tung so that the traditional customs and unique culture in the New Territories will be transmitted thus responding to the communitys aspirations for urban - rural symbiosis
接下來我想談談大家關心的醫療。
Next let me talk about health care that people are all concerned about
香港人口老化日趨嚴峻，衍生龐大的醫療需求，政府從投資未來的角度預留100億元作為公營醫療撥款穩定基金，確保公營醫療服務有穩定資源及應付不時之需，並預留50億元更新和添置醫療設備。
As the worsening problem of population ageing in Hong Kong has given rise to huge health care demand the Government will earmark 10 billion to set up a public health care stabilization fund from the perspective of investing for the future so as to ensure stable resources for public health care services and meet the need in emergency situations . The Government will also earmark 5 billion for upgrading and acquisition of medical equipment
在經常資助方面，政府增撥4億元擴闊《醫院管理局藥物名冊》，納入更多資助藥物，惠及更多病人。
On recurrent subvention the Government will provide an additional 400 million to expand the scope of the Hospital Authority Drug Formulary so as to incorporate more subsidized drugs and benefit more patients
政府積極撥款的取態，凸顯了對公營醫療服務的承擔。
The active attitude of the Government towards the allocation of funding highlights its commitment to public health care services
外國經驗早已指出，良好的基層醫療是達致全民健康的關鍵，並有助減輕對公營醫療系統的依賴，希望政府日後擴展地區康健中心網絡時，在鄉郊地區增設康健中心，將基層醫療帶入鄉郊，照顧偏遠地區居民的醫療需要。
The experience of foreign countries has long proved that excellent primary health care is crucial to achieving health for all and is conducive to minimizing the reliance on public health care services . I hope that the Government will when expanding the network of district health centres in the future set up health centres in rural areas so as to bring primary health care to rural areas and cater to the health care needs of residents of remote areas
醞釀多年的自願醫保計劃終於在今年4月出台，並提供高達8,000元的年度稅務扣減，鼓勵市民購買認可的醫保產品，使用私營醫療服務。
The Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme which had been deliberated for years was ultimately rolled out in April this year under which an annual tax deduction of up to 8,000 will be provided to encourage the public to purchase certified health insurance plans and access private health care services
政府推行以上種種措施，都是為了紓緩公營醫療系統面臨的壓力。
The aforesaid measures implemented by the Government all aim at alleviating the pressure faced by the public health care system
然而，香港醫療制度的問題癥結在於欠缺長遠規劃，希望政府能夠展現魄力，大刀闊斧，盡早做好整體規劃，帶領香港走出醫療困局，切實做到投資未來。
However the crux of the problem with the health care system of Hong Kong is the lack of long - term planning . I hope that the Government will demonstrate its determination and courage expeditiously make proper overall planning lead Hong Kong out of the health care dilemma and pragmatically invest for the future
最後，我想談談另一個與市民息息相關的議題。
Finally I would like to talk about another issue that is closely related to the public
政府撥款6億元在未來5年為全港240所公廁展開翻新、優化工程，改善設備，提高公廁的衞生水平，一改大家對公廁骯髒、臭氣沖天的負面印象，是一樁美事。
The Government will allocate 600 million to refurbish or facelift some 240 public toilets in Hong Kong in the coming five years so as to improve the facilities enhance the hygienic standard of public toilets and change the publics negative perception that public toilets are filthy and smelly . This will be a good thing
但反觀體育方面，政府在未來兩年僅撥款1億元支持60多個體育總會的工作，撥款之少不禁令人失望。
In terms of sports however the Government will only allocate 100 million in the coming two years to support the work of some 60 national sports associations . The funding is so minuscule that people are disappointed
我很希望政府明年籌備預算案時能展現對體育界的承擔，加大對本港運動員和相關體育設施的財政支援，讓香港運動員能夠無後顧之憂，釋放潛能，為港爭光。
I very much hope that the Government will when preparing the Budget next year demonstrate its commitment to the sports sector and enhance the financial assistance to local athletes and related sports facilities so that Hong Kong athletes can leave their worries behind unleash their potential and bring glory to Hong Kong
代理主席，如果市民有時間細讀預算案，所臚列的數字並不是一組組冷冰冰的數字，而是有關係的，數字之間展現人與人的關懷和平衡的藝術。
Deputy President if members of the public have time to peruse the Budget they will know that the figures enumerated are not sets of chilling figures . Rather they are related figures that demonstrate humanistic care and the art of balancing
因此，審議預算案時，我會考慮社會整體利益。
For this reason I will have regard to the overall interests of society in scrutinizing the Budget
本年度預 算案積極回應社會就種種民生政策，以至香港長遠競爭力的關注。
The Budget this year has actively responded to social concerns about various policies on peoples livelihood and the long - term competitiveness of Hong Kong
在經濟環境不明朗時，仍維持相對進取的開支，平衡社會各階層的利益，整體來說是一份"穩經濟、利民生"的預算案，因此我代表新界鄉議局表示支持。
Despite an uncertain economic environment the Budget still maintains relatively aggressive expenditure to balance the interests of various social strata . In general it is a Budget that stabilizes the economy and strengthens livelihoods . As such I will support it on behalf of the New Territories Heung Yee Kuk
第二點，黃碧雲議員剛才長篇大論後，呼籲大家參加即將舉行的遊行。
Secondly just now after her lengthy speech Dr Helena WONG called on the people to join the upcoming procession
很可惜，立法會沒有一個收取廣告費的平台，否則今天應該可以進帳不少，特別是就毛孟靜議員剛才的呼籲，我相信立法會應可收取不少廣告費。
What a pity that the Legislative Council does not have a platform for charging advertising fees . Otherwise today it could have made a lot of money . In particular on Ms Claudia MOs appeal just now I believe the Legislative Council could have charged a considerable amount of advertising fees
然而，我看到司長很認真地為這項議案做好準備，亦用了30分鐘作出初步回應。
Nevertheless I saw that the Chief Secretary of Administration had seriously made good preparations for this motion and spent 30 minutes giving his initial response
當然，司長如此認真是好事，不過現在時興一句說話是"認真你便輸了"。
Certainly it is a good thing that the Chief Secretary has worked so seriously but now there is a popular saying If you get serious you will lose
