此外，暴力示威者亦在全港多區癱瘓公共交通系統、違法堵路，破壞公 共設施、商鋪、食店和商場、對法院縱火，更對政府建築物和執法人員使用暴力，而且暴力程度不斷升級，有些市民亦無辜受到暴徒襲擊。
Moreover violent protesters paralysed public transport systems illegally blocked roads vandalized public facilities shops restaurants and shopping malls set fire to the Court and used violence on government buildings and law enforcement officers . The level of violence kept escalating and some innocent citizens were also attacked by the rioters
警隊的工作越來越困難，不少前線警員要長期加班加點，更要面對個人的生命安全威脅。
The work of the Police has become increasingly difficult . Many frontline police officers had to work overtime constantly not to mention the threats made against their personal safety
警隊的預算開支除了支付警員應得的報酬外，亦要用於增聘警力和購買裝備，以持續提升警隊的執法工作和提高相關公共服務的質素，他們提出的需求是理所當然的。
Apart from the deserved remuneration payment the estimated expenditure of the Police is also used on increasing manpower and purchasing equipment in order to continually enhance its law enforcement efforts and the quality of public services provided . Their demands are indeed justified
主席，我並非認為警隊不會犯錯。
Chairman I do not mean that the Police will make no mistakes
實際上，有批評指部分前線警員的言行有待改善，亦有批評指警員在執法過程中作出了不恰當的行為等。
In fact there are criticisms that the demeanours of some frontline police officers warrant improvement and some police officers have behaved in an improper way during law enforcement
我認為現有的投訴警察課和獨立監察警方處理投訴委員會的機制已能有效地處理這些問題。
I believe the existing mechanism composed of the Complaints Against Police Office and the Independent Police Complaints Council can deal with these matters effectively
即使有極少數的警務人員行為不恰當，但因此便全面否定過去大半年警隊的努力，是非常不公道。
Even if police officers have behaved improperly in some rare cases it is completely unfair to deny the efforts of the Police all together during the past year or so
我們不要忘記，即使在最近數月的疫情期間，警隊仍然謹守崗位，參與多項防疫工作，並且積極支援其他政府部門，共同抗疫，包括協助執行檢疫令，實施隔離令，追蹤與病人有接觸的人士，執行限制個別業務處所，以及限聚令等相關執法行動，這些工作都非常值得認同和肯定。
We should not forget that the Police remain dedicated during the epidemic in recent months . They have participated in various anti - epidemic initiatives and actively supported other government departments such as assisting in the enforcement of quarantine orders and isolation orders contact tracing restrictions on certain business and premises and social gathering . These efforts deserve acknowledgement and recognition
由於過去1年警務工作遭到極大挑戰，可以預期未來社會運動的暴力程度仍然會持續上升，我們亦看到最近疫情稍為緩解，這類示威和暴力行動又開始出現。
While the Police have encountered tremendous challenge in the past year it can be expected that the violence level of future social movements will continue to escalate . We can also see that protests and violent acts have resurfaced as the epidemic has begun to ease recently
為了應對去年的工作，警務處在2019-2020年度的修訂預算超支30億元至230億5,900萬元。
The revised estimate of the Police Force in 2019 - 2020 overran by 3 billion to 23.059 billion
故此，在這次預算案之中，警務處的預算接近257億9,000萬元。
Hence the estimated expenditure of the Police Force in this Budget amounts to nearly 25.79 billion
雖然增幅較大，但我認為亦屬合情合理，是必須要的。
I find the relatively substantial increase reasonable and necessary
警務處的257億元預算，佔特區政府總開支的4.12%，只是略為高於鄰近的新加坡的3.93%。
The estimate of the Police Force accounts for 4.12 % of the total expenditure of the SAR Government only slightly higher than the 3.93 % in neighbouring Singapore
但是，我們不要忘記，新加坡是有設立軍隊的國家，而香港是一個特別行政區，我們沒有軍費的負擔。
However we should not forget that Singapore is a country with an army while Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region without any military expenses
某程度上，警隊負責了部分類似軍隊或國民警衞隊的工作，例如抗災、緊急狀態、應付社會暴亂等，如果計算這部分的工作，現時警務處的預算完全不屬於不能接受，我認為是非常合理的。
To a certain extent the Police shoulder some duties similar to those of the army or the National Guard such as disaster relief state of emergency and handling social upheavals . Taking these duties into account I find the current estimate of the Police Force acceptable and totally reasonable
主席，至於其他修正案，我不打算逐一回應。
Chairman I do not intend to respond to the other amendments one by one
總的來說，考慮到香港現時的情況，立法會實在不應浪費時間討論大幅削減撥款。
All in all taking into account the current situation in Hong Kong the Legislative Council should really not waste time discussing substantial budget cuts
透過提出削減撥款來表達對政府施政的不滿，不是很明智的做法。
It is not very sensible to express dissatisfaction with the Government by proposing budget cuts
故此，我在此發言反對所有修正案，亦希望能盡快通過預算案，急市民所急。
Hence I speak in opposition to all the amendments and hope the Budget can be passed as soon as possible in order to address the pressing needs of the people
主席，我是就《2020年撥款條例草案》下42個總目的修正案包括我提出的修正案作綜合回應。
Chairman I am giving a consolidated response on the amendments in respect of 42 heads in the Appropriation Bill 2020 including the amendment proposed by me
議會亦有這種程序，就是每年的預算案。
There is also such kind of procedures in the legislature which is the Budget delivered every year
我相信他們真的不明白議會的職能是甚麼，我們正正要反映市民對你們的不滿，我們承載着多數香港市民是接近六成市民對我們的授權，這是很重的民意。
I believe they really do not understand what the functions of a legislature are . We have to reflect the publics dissatisfaction with you . We are carrying the mandate of the majority of Hong Kong people―which is close to 60 % of the people
如果官員還有一點良知及稍有廉耻的話，便不要經常用一種"你們在議席上是少數派"的態度來看待事情。
This is the will of a lot of people . Should the officials still have a little conscience and a bit shame they should not always look at things with the attitude that you are the minority in terms of the number of seats
我早前已提及數個原因，今天不想重複，免得主席說我重複，所以我會簡略地點題。
Having mentioned several reasons earlier I am not going to repeat them today lest the Chairman would accuse me of repeating . So I will highlight the issue briefly
然而，政府在完成所有初步研究後，竟然告訴我們只有數個百分點的棕地可供使用。
However upon completion of all preliminary studies the Government has told us that only a few percentage points of brownfields are available for development
兩星期前，審計署署長發表了針對地政總署的新報告書，主要是強烈批評署方對於政府空置用地的短期租約管理不足、規劃不善及浪費土地資源，這些與我過往批評各個部門行政失當，以及有山頭主義的問題一樣。
Two weeks ago the Director of Audit published a new report targeting the Lands Department LandsD which strongly criticizes LandsD s deficiencies in the management of short - term tenancies of vacant government sites as well as its poor planning and wastage of land resources . These are the same as my previous criticism of various departments for maladministration and provincialism
我們現正處於水深火熱之中，經濟等範疇都不理想，由於政府要抗疫、救市、保就業，所以花了大量資金，令我們的財政受到很大壓力。
We are now in dire straits since the performance of various aspects such as the economy is not satisfactory . The Government has spent a lot of money to fight against the epidemic rescue the market and safeguard employment thereby exerting much pressure on our financial position
在這個時候，政府竟然告訴大家儘管如此，即使家道中落，因為它之前答應了會賭一把，要將全部家當拿去賭、把大部分積蓄拿去"博一鋪"，它仍然要這樣做，為何會那麼不理性呢？
At this moment the Government has even told us that despite this and even if the family is in straitened circumstances they still have to go ahead given their earlier promise to take a gamble they have to gamble with the whole familys fortune and make a final bet with most of our savings . Why are they so irrational?
這不禁令我們懷疑，這究竟純粹是土地政策，是出於社會發展的考慮，抑或背後還有更大的原因呢？
This makes us wonder whether this is merely a land policy arising from considerations of social development or there is a more important reason behind? . I can tell all of you that in my opinion this is actually political manipulation
我告訴大家，我認為這其實是政治操作，大家都知道在香港投得大型工程或"大白象"工程的是甚麼公司，當中絕大多數都與中國有關，不論是建築公司、填海以至購買材料、海砂等亦如是，這會否就是把香港庫房淘空，拿去捨身救國的舉動呢？
We all know which companies would be awarded the tenders for large - scale works projects or white elephant projects in Hong Kong . A vast majority of them are associated with China the same case applies whether we are speaking of construction companies reclamation works or even the procurement of materials and marine sand etc . Will this be a move to deplete the public coffers of Hong Kong in order to save the country by self - sacrifice?
主席，很多市民都這樣說的，甚至有些建築業界的朋友亦這樣說，他們認為這個做法是很明顯的，所以我提出了相關修正案。
Chairman a great many members of the public have said so and even some friends in the construction industry have said so as they consider such motive blatantly obvious . That is why I have proposed the relevant amendment
我承認這是一種政治抗議的姿態，因為保皇黨同事會護航，除非有人良心發現我稍後也想作出呼籲當然，他們良心發現的機率很低，因為很多民主派同事均提出了修正案，但保皇黨同事都是予以否定的，而且是不但從本質上否定，在技術上也否定。
I admit that this is a gesture of political protest because Honourable colleagues of the pro - Government camp will defend them unless someone is pricked by conscience―I wish to make an appeal later as well―Of course the chance for them to be pricked by conscience is rather slim as colleagues of the pro - Government camp disapprove of all the amendments proposed by colleagues of the pro - democracy camp . They not only disapprove of the amendments due to their nature but also on technical grounds
由"六一二"起，我們已經看到很多警暴事件，小至不展示警員編號這已經是小事了大至胡亂使用武力、開槍，以及針對記者、議員、平民和兒童。
Since 12 June we have seen many cases of police brutality ranging from not displaying their police identification numbers―this is already a trivial matter―to using force recklessly firing shots as well as targeting journalists Members civilians and children
最不幸的是，我們在這段時間看到警隊的紀律簡直是崩壞，有大量警員犯法，而且竟然有警員中飽私囊，緝毒變成販毒。
Most regrettably we can see that the Police Force have lost their discipline during this period . A bunch of police officers have breached the laws and some of them who were supposed to bust drug crime ended up trafficking drugs
最近網上有一段熱播影片，不知道主席有否看過，有一名女士我相信她是想戲謔警員向警員詢問︰"阿Sir，有沒有毒品賣？
A video clip has gone viral on the Internet recently I wonder if the Chairman has watched it a woman―I believe she wanted to tease the police officers―asked the police officers Do you sell drugs sir?
主席，在2020年4月13日亦發生了一宗懷疑警員自編自導的案件，涉及一名警長在葵涌警署拘捕了一名據稱藏有汽油彈的21歲青年，但不幸地，由於那名警長辦事不夠俐落，結果被人發現這宗案件涉嫌是由他自編自導，揭發他與策動這名青年的"蛇頭"有聯繫，原來這宗案件是由他自編自導的。
Chairman a case suspected to be plotted by a police officer occurred on 13 April 2020 as well which involved a sergeant having arrested a 21 - year - old youngster at Kwai Chung Police Station allegedly in possession of petrol bombs . Yet unfortunately as that sergeant has not acted smartly it was finally discovered that the case was suspected to be plotted by himself . It was revealed that he had liaised with the middleman who had instigated the actions of that youngster
面對這樣的警隊，我們認為有需要代表市民發聲來懲處他們，難道不應該嗎？
It turned out that this case was plotted by himself . In the face of such a police force we consider it necessary to speak out on behalf of the public in order to penalize them should we not do so?
我們當然有權要求警方做得好、依法辦事，如果他們做得不好、不依法辦事，市民有權懲處他們、批評他們、要求他們的負責人下台。
We certainly have the right to demand the Police to do a good job and act in accordance with the law; and if they fail to do so the public has the right to penalize them criticize them and demand the persons in charge to step down
陳淑莊議員，你有甚麼問題？
Ms Tanya CHAN what is your point?
郭榮鏗議員，就你要求辯論有關外籍法官不獲授權處理涉及國家安全案件的事宜，我認為並不迫切至必須在今次會議上辯論。
Mr Dennis KWOK regarding your request to debate the prohibition of foreign judges from handling cases involving national security I think that the issue is not so urgent that it must be debated at this meeting
事實上，議員仍然有很多機會，在本會循不同渠道跟進這個議題。
In fact Members still have many opportunities to follow up the issue through various channels in this Council
因此，我裁定郭榮鏗議員要求動議的議案，並不符合《議事規則》第162條的規定。
Hence I rule that the motion which Mr Dennis KWOK wished to move does not comply with the requirements set out in Rule 162 of the Rules of Procedure
廖長江議員，請發言。
Mr Martin LIAO please speak
我會就此作出調整，讓議員有相等的發言時間。
I will make adjustment in this regard so that all Members will have equal speaking time
首先，我希望現時在街上的市民或群眾都能夠平安回家。
First of all I hope that members of the public who are now on the streets can go home safely
事實上，我希望衷心對大家說一件事。
In fact I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart
我認為在座各位都要面對一個現實，就是在今天香港發生的政治鬥爭或政治亂局中，香港人已經沒有角色。
I think Members present at the meeting have to face a reality and that is the people of Hong Kong already have no role to play in the political struggle or chaos that takes place in Hong Kong today
由去年中美貿易戰至現時這個局面，我只希望與理念相同的同道人在這段時間找到方法，保存自己的理念和能所保護或守衞的一切。
From last years Sino - United States trade war to the current situation I only hope to join hands with people sharing the same ideology to find ways during this period of time to preserve our ideology and protect or safeguard as much as we can
如果大家的朋友或現時還在街上的朋友無法聽到我以下的發言，希望各位今晚回家後可以收聽會議的錄音。
If friends of yours or people who are still on the streets cannot listen to my following speech I hope they can listen to the audio recording when they get home tonight
如有需要，歡迎大家聯絡我。
People who are in need can contact me
我會擔當心理輔導者的角色，為大家提供輔導。
I will play the role as a counsellor
今天《國歌條例草案》恢復二讀，但相信不是太多朋友記得《條例草案》審議期間的背景。
The National Anthem Bill the Bill resumes its Second Reading today . However I believe that not too many people can recall the background concerning the scrutiny of the Bill
簡單而言，有一群市民可能在公眾場合對國歌喝倒采，聽到奏唱"義勇軍進行曲"時有不同的反應，可能背向主席台甚至舉起中指等。
Simply put a group of people booed the national anthem on public occasions or they reacted differently when the March of the Volunteers was being played and sung such as they turned their back on the rostrum or even showed their middle fingers
實際上，《條例草案》的理念，就是透過恐怖或恐懼管治帶來對國家的尊重及認同。
As a matter of fact the idea of the Bill is to make people respect and identify with the country through the reign of terror
這個理念可能不為局長和政府所承認，但我相信對於威權政府或威權政權有基本涉獵的朋友都應該會熟悉。
This idea might not be admitted by the Secretary and the Government but I am convinced that people who have some knowledge about the authoritarian government or regime will be familiar with the idea
我不太同意泛民議員時常引用田漢作為例子，對大家說稍後進行國歌教育時可從歷史看到田漢有多悽慘，共產黨在文革期間如何對田漢作出批鬥。
I do not quite agree to the practice of pan - democratic Members . They frequently use TIAN Han as an example to demonstrate how miserable he had been treated in history and how the Communist Party of China CPC had denounced him during the Cultural Revolution . Such information can be used during the education on the national anthem to be conducted in future
我們的理解是，田漢被中共過河拆橋，或者說，他是一位對國家有貢獻而且忠於國家，但在文革期間備受批鬥的典型人物。
Our understanding is that CPC was ungrateful to TIAN Han and left him in the lurch; or TIAN Han was a typical figure who was loyal and had made contributions to the country but was severely denounced during the Cultural Revolution
但是，我希望香港人理解到，田漢在文革被批鬥，實際上是出於共產黨利用恐怖管治，塑造國家認同及國家榮耀。
Nevertheless I hope people of Hong Kong will understand that the denouncement of TIAN Han during the Cultural Revolution was actually a tactic of CPC to manipulate the reign of terror to build national identification and national honour
這事發生在文革的第一年，也是最重要的一步。
This incident happened in the first year of the Cultural Revolution and it was the most important move
我只是希望指出，《條例草案》的理念並非單純是教育人民如何愛國或宣揚愛國主義精神。
I just want to point out that the idea of the Bill is not simply to educate people about loving the country or promote the spirit of patriotism
這是官方的 說法，但現實中的政治效果，是震撼教育，目的是要震懾香港人："你們玩吧，兩三年前你們玩吧！
While this is the official claim the political effect of the Bill in reality is to implement shock education . The purpose is to frighten the people of Hong Kong That is the consequence of what you did two or three years ago!
其實，他只是寫了兩封信：一封題為"為藝人發聲"，另一封題為"為演員的春天請命"。
In fact all TIAN Han had done was that he had written two letters one letter spoke for the artists; the other letter was titled 為演員的春天請命
田漢作為演藝界的代表即今天的馬逢國議員的角色，他覺得演藝界在那個年代不被重視，業界同工"同工不同酬"，於是便寫了兩封信。
As the representative of the performing arts sector―that is the role played by Mr MA Fung - kwok today―TIAN Han considered that people did not pay high regard to the performing arts sector at that time and members of the sector were paid unequally for equal work . He thus wrote the two letters
但是，這兩封信被視為有資本主義特色，然後他被打成反黨、反社會主義、反毛澤東思想。
However the two letters were regarded by CPC as carrying the features of capitalism and he was then criticized for being anti - Party anti - socialism and anti - Maoism
田漢被批鬥的歷史在文革期間是一個典型。
The history of TIAN Hans denouncement was typical during the Cultural Revolution
那10年的震懾是要告訴大陸人：這是專制管治必須有的經歷，就是一個震撼教育。
The 10 - year intimidation was to tell the Mainlanders that shock education was an inevitable experience of the autocratic governance
內地有一位"網紅"在直播期間，在"起來、起來"的音樂背景下，說了幾句話，結果被行政拘留10多天。
In the Mainland an Internet celebrity made some comments during the live cast when Arise arise ie . the national anthem was being played . Consequently the celebrity was administratively detained for 10 - odd days
局長說，根據現行法例，這事件未必構成侮辱國歌或貶損行為。
The Secretary said under the current legislation the above action might not necessarily constitute an insult of or a disrespectful act to the national anthem
不好意思，在法案委員會討論期間，時任聶德權局長經常說："到時法庭會因應兩個條件作出判決，即是否公開和故意侮辱國歌"。
Pardon me during the deliberation of the Bills Committee Mr Patrick NIP―the Secretary back then―always said the court would make its decision based on two conditions ie . whether the person concerned had publicly and intentionally insulted the national anthem
何謂"公開"、何謂"故意"呢？
What is public and intentional?
在互聯網上、在香港特區內發生的就是公開。
In the Internet incidents that happen in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region are public
大家不要以為這情況只會在球場和拳擊比賽中發生，可以在演唱會中發生。
Do not assume that the situation will only happen during a soccer match or a boxing match . It can also happen in a singing concert
我只有一個建議，就是請大家回顧香港六七十年代那段大主席或某些建制派人士都經歷過的歷史。
I only have one suggestion and that is please look back on the history of Hong Kong in the 1960s and 1970s that the President of the Legislative Council or certain members of the pro - establishment camp had once experienced
其實，擾民所指的是何謂"公開"、何謂"故意"。
In fact the nuisance hinges on the meaning of public and intentional
我想問大家一個簡單的問題：有市民在香港大球場噓國歌，而你安坐家中將這段噓國歌的片段在互聯網上轉發。你認為自己轉發這片段會否被控以侮辱國歌或貶損國歌？
I want to ask you a simple question If some members of the public booed the national anthem at the Hong Kong Stadium and you forwarded the video clip to others from your cozy home via the Internet do you think you will subsequently be prosecuted for insulting or being disrespectful to the national anthem?
但是，問題在於何謂"發布"。
However the problem lies in what is meant by publish
所以，結論就是，《條例草案》是白色恐怖下的工具之一，讓政府有更多藉口實行威權管治。
Hence the conclusion is that the Bill is one of the tools for giving more excuses for the Government to implement authoritarian governance
政務司司長就"回應政府帳目委員會第七十三號報告書的政府覆文"向本會發言。
The Chief Secretary for Administration will address the Council on The Government Minute in response to the Report of the Public Accounts Committee No
我明白你的裁決為最終決定。
I understand that your ruling is final
請你尊重主席的裁決。
Please respect the Presidents ruling
《條例草案》引起軒然大波，假如我們身處一個正常社會，事情真的未必會發展到這個地步。
The Bill has caused an uproar; the situation really will not develop to such a pass if our society is normal but our society is not normal where arbitrary actions can be taken
《條例草案》本身已是一條惡法，其弁言更無故僭建了"弘揚愛國精神"這個提述。
The Bill is an evil law and its Preamble has added for no reason the reference to promote patriotism
在一個正常社會，一個開放民主的國家，人們從小已懂得尊重，到訪任何國家都會尊重其國家及代表國家的國歌、國徽及國旗。
In a normal open and democratic country people will know since childhood how to show respect . When they visit other countries they will respect the country as well as its national anthem national emblem and national flag which are symbols of the country
香港作為一個國際城市，香港人多年來在這個地方土生土長，我們所理解的愛國與內地截然不同，這就是我們無法接受的地方。
Hong Kong is an international city where many people were born and bred . Our understanding of patriotism is very different from that of the Mainlanders and that is why we find this unacceptable
1966年，田漢在文化大革命中被批鬥，並再度被判入獄，1968年在囚禁期間逝世。
In 1966 TIAN Han was criticized and denounced during the Cultural Revolution and sentenced to imprisonment again . He died in prison in 1968
他忠心耿耿，一心向黨，最後落得如此下場。
Despite his loyalty and great dedication to CPC he died tragically
他死後，在1970年，中共仍大規模批鬥他，指他是反革命分子、叛徒，並永久開除他的黨籍，直到1979年才為他平反。
After his death CPC still extensively criticized and denounced him in 1970 calling him a counter - revolutionary traitor . TIAN Han was permanently expelled from CPC and was only vindicated in 1979
我們要審議《條例草案》，但其實《中華人民共和國國歌法》背後血淚史所象徵的共產政權，正要一手摧毀香港和我們的下一代，對青年人強加愛國精神。
We are now scrutinizing the Bill; but as a matter of fact the communist regime symbolized by the history of blood and tears behind the Law of the Peoples Republic of China on the National Anthem is destroying Hong Kong and our next generation and imposing patriotism on young people
愛國不等於愛政府，愛國不等於愛"林鄭"，愛國亦不等於愛習近平，並非"爹親娘親不及毛主席親"。
Loving the country does not mean loving the Government; loving the country does not mean loving Carrie LAM; loving the country does not mean loving XI Jinping; it is not true that Chairman MAO is dearer than parents . We cannot rely on punishment imprisonment etc
《條例草案》能讓我們的下一代更認識祖國嗎？
Can the Bill enable our next generation to have a better understanding of the Motherland?
葉劉淑儀議員，我稍後會處理你的發言要求。
Mrs Regina IP I will handle your request to speak later
聲響現已停止，我認為會議可以繼續。
The ringing has stopped . I think the meeting can proceed
鄭松泰議員，我再次問你，你是否願意發言？
Dr CHENG Chung - tai I ask you once again . Are you willing to speak?
主席，有不少人因2019冠狀病毒病疫情而失業。
President quite a number of people have become unemployed due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 epidemic
為此，政府在現行綜合社會保障援助計劃下，設立資產限額經放寬的"援助失業人士特別計劃"，由本年6月1日至11月30日的6個月期間適用。
In view of this the Government has implemented under the existing Comprehensive Social Security Assistance Scheme CSSA a Special Scheme of Assistance to the Unemployed with relaxed asset limits which is applicable for the six - month period from 1 June to 30 November this year
近日，本人收到不少正申請綜援失業人士的求助個案。
Recently I have received quite a number of requests for assistance from unemployed persons applying for CSSA
他們反映，有關申請程序繁複及資格嚴苛，而社會福利署部分人員對他們諸多為難和態度惡劣，甚至游說他們放棄申請。
They have relayed that the relevant application procedure is cumbersome and the eligibility criteria are stringent and some officers of the Social Welfare Department SWD made things difficult for them displayed poor attitude and even persuaded them to give up their applications
主席，綜合社會保障援助計劃提供一個安全網，幫助經濟上無法自給的人士及家庭應付生活上最基本的需要。
President the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance CSSA Scheme provides a safety net to help persons and families who cannot support themselves financially to meet their basic needs
綜援申請人均無須為計劃供款，但須通過經濟狀況調查，以確保公共資源用於有真正需要的人士。
The Scheme is non - contributory but applicants have to pass a means test to ensure public resources are used on those who are genuinely in need
考慮到2019冠狀病毒病為香港帶來史無前例的挑戰，行政長官在2020年4月8日宣布第二輪的防疫抗疫措施，包括透過綜援系統提供具限時性的失業支援計劃，以期在此困難時刻為失業人士提供適時和基本的援助。
Having considered the unprecedented challenges posed by the coronavirus disease 2019 COVID - 19 in Hong Kong the Chief Executive announced on 8 April 2020 the second round of anti - epidemic measures including the provision of a time - limited unemployment support scheme through the CSSA system with a view to providing timely and basic assistance to the unemployed during this difficult time
立法會財務委員會已於4月18日批准有關撥款。
The Finance Committee FC of the Legislative Council approved the related funding on 18 April
社會福利署會暫時放寬健全人士申領綜援的資產限額1倍，為期6個月。有關計劃會在6月1日至11月30日期間生效，即資產限額將於12月1日起回復正常水平。
The Social Welfare Department SWD will temporarily relax the CSSA asset limits for able - bodied persons
主席，局長一如既往的工具理性，反映他對現實社會欠缺理解。
President the Secretary has as always displayed instrumental rationality reflecting his ignorance of real life
社署能否在這段時間酌情處理，容許以個人為單位申請失業綜援？
Can SWD exercise its discretion during this period to allow those unemployed to apply for CSSA on an individual basis?
如果這項服務承諾導致前線員工需要加班或工作量大增，當局是否有方法減輕他們的工作量？
In case this pledge has resulted in overtime work or excessive workload for frontline staff what would the authorities do to reduce their workload?
我們會盡量減低員工的工作量，以應付目前這個重大挑戰。
We will do our utmost to reduce staff workload in order to cope with this huge challenge
主席，現時失業問題十分嚴重，失業率高達5.2%，所以社署在局長帶領下增加了不少人手，但新增的人手能否應付未來的需要？
President at present the unemployment situation is so bad that the unemployment rate has hit 5.2 % . SWD has thus increased its manpower considerably under the leadership of the Secretary but is it possible that such additional manpower will be able to cope with the future workload?
我固然希望不會突破2003年的失業率，但失業率若繼續攀升，按照政府的數字，4月份已有3900多人申請綜援，日後這個數字可能更大。
I certainly do not want to see the unemployment rate surpass that of 2003 . However if the unemployment rate continues to rise the number of CSSA applicants may later exceed the figure of 3 900 - odd recorded in April as announced by the Government
當局增聘人手，目的不就是協助失業人士嗎？
When it increases its manpower it is meant to give the unemployed a hand right?
