我曾就相關個案致函署方，要求跟進及回覆，署方就每宗個案一一回覆。
I have written to CSD concerning these cases and requested the department to follow up and give me a response . CSD has responded in connection with each individual case
就在囚人士信件郵寄的問題，署方表示，署方鼓勵在囚人士透過書信與親友及外界保持聯繫，並於各院所內適當地方設有信箱，供在囚人士作投寄信件之用。
Regarding the mailing arrangement for inmates according to CSD inmates are encouraged to keep in touch with their families and friends in the outside world through letters and mailboxes are placed in appropriate places in various correctional institutions for them to post their letters
一般而言，在囚人士寄出或寄予在囚人士的信件均會在下一個工作天寄出或派送給在囚人士。
In general letters sent by and sent to inmates will be sent out or delivered to them on the next working day
此外，為了維持監獄內的保安、秩序及紀律，懲教人員可按規定，截留致予某在囚人士或由某在囚人士發出的信件，並須以口頭或書面通知該在囚人士截留該信件的理由。
Moreover in order to maintain the security order and discipline in a prison CSD officers may in accordance with the rules withhold letters sent to certain inmates or letters sent out by certain inmates but an oral or written notice must be given to the inmate concerned explaining the reason for withholding the letter
我認同懲教院所需要有機制處理在囚人士收發信件。
I agree that correctional institutions need to put in place a mechanism regulating the posting and delivery of inmates mail
當然，如果在囚人士在收發信件方面遇到任何問題，可以向我或其他議員反映，我相信署方會按機制逐一跟進處理。
Of course if inmates have any difficulties in receiving or sending letters they can reflect the situation to me or to other Members . I believe CSD will follow up and handle each case according to the established mechanism
我所反映的個案已經獲得處理，亦沒有類似的問題再發生。
The cases I reflected have been dealt with and similar problems have not recurred
我相信任何機制均會有改善的空間，懲教署在對待在囚人士方面的相關機制也不例外，最重要是懲教署在接獲有關投訴，或有議員向署方反映在囚人士遇到的問題時，署方有否即時作出跟進及適切的修正。
I believe there is room for improvement in any mechanism and the mechanism of CSD in treating inmates is no exception . What matters most is whether CSD will instantly follow up and appropriately rectify the problems when it receives complaints from inmates or when a Member reflects the problems to it
所以，我全力支持懲教署與各界持份者攜手創造更生機會，並通過社區教育，提倡守法和共融觀念。
Hence I fully support CSD working in collaboration with stakeholders in various sectors to provide rehabilitation opportunities for inmates and promoting the concept of law compliance and social integration through education in the community
主席，懲教及更生工作值得社會支持，我曾經在媒體專欄撰文講及一位被判囚終身的人士在獄中克服種種困難，不斷進修及自我增值。
President correctional services and rehabilitation programmes should be supported by the community . I once wrote in a media column about the experience of an inmate . Though being sentenced to life imprisonment the inmate worked hard in prison and overcame all difficulties to pursue continuous studies for self - enhancement
這位在囚人士能夠在學習上取得優秀成績的同時，最重要的是他可以從中學習並尋找到希望，思考自己的過錯，找到自己的價值。
He succeeded in attaining good academic results but most importantly he was able to find hope reflect upon his mistakes and found his own worth in the process
除了在囚人士本身的努力之外，懲教署為在囚人士提供學術教育的重要性，在於加強學員的基本知識，協助他們掌握工作技能，改善人際技巧，重建自尊及自信，培養正確的人生態度，從而重新融入社會。
Apart from inmates own efforts CSD also plays an important role in providing academic education to inmates which includes enhancing inmates basic knowledge helping inmates grasp working skills improving their interpersonal relationships rebuilding their self - esteem and confidence as well as fostering a correct attitude towards life thereby preparing them to integrate into society again
我認為懲教署這方面的工作做得很好，值得大家繼續支持。
I think that CSD has done a great job in this respect and is worthy of our continuous support
主席，我與其他市民一樣，非常關注在囚人士的福利及有否受到殘酷對待的問題，但我更關注懲教署的更生服務是否做得足夠、到位，能否有效協助在囚人士改過自新。
President like many people I care very much about the inmates welfare and whether they have been cruelly treated . However I am more concerned about whether the rehabilitation services of CSD are adequate and can effectively help inmates turn over a new leaf
我希望更多市民能夠支持及認同懲教署的工作，繼續提升及加強懲教和更生服務，讓更多在囚人士能夠在獄中自我反省，改過自新，為未來重投社會、貢獻社會作出準備。
I hope that more people will support and recognize CSDs work so that it can continue to enhance the correctional and rehabilitation services to help inmates reflect upon their mistakes in prison turn over a new leaf and prepare themselves for re - entering and contributing to society
主席，我謹此陳辭，反對傳召懲教署署長及助理署長的議案。
With these remarks President I oppose the motion that summons the Commissioner of Correctional Services and the Assistant Commissioner of Correctional Services Operations
何議員在9月17日舉行的集會上曾做甚麼，我不再詳細複述，因為很多同事已經說過。
I will not repeat in detail what Dr HO had done during the rally on 17 September as many of our colleagues had already covered it
何議員是一位公眾人物，是一位立法會議員，亦是一位律師，但卻不能夠因為同時擁有這些帽子，便可說我9時是以個人身份在會議上的發言，10時是立法會議員，11時是律師。
Dr HO is a public figure a Member of the Legislative Council and also a solicitor . However though he is wearing these hats concurrently he cannot say that he can speak in the capacity as an individual at 9col00 am as a Member of the Legislative Council at 10col00 am and as a solicitor at 11col00 am
這是並無可能的，雖然有些朋友亦可能會說他們現在用甚麼身份發言。
This is impossible though some pals may also say that they are now speaking in a particular capacity
公眾對一位公眾人物的觀感、感覺，其實就是把所有帽子都算在內。
The impression and feeling of the public towards a public figure is to take into account all hats
所以，作為一位立法會議員、公眾人物及律師，我希望何議員慎言。
Hence as a Member of the Legislative Council a public figure and a solicitor I hope that Dr HO would be cautious with his words
當然，你可以很不同意他的政治主張、見解，這是可以討論的。
Of course you can strongly disagree with his political stance and views this is discussible
在立法會及所有國會，不同黨派當然有不同的政治主張、理解，要通過一個很有文化的辯論來解決問題。
In the Legislative Council or all CongressesParliaments different political parties definitely have different political stances and understanding problems have to be resolved through a very civilized debate
第17B條訂明"任何人在為某事情而召開的公眾聚集中作出擾亂秩序行為，或煽惑他人作出此種行為，以阻止處理該事情，即屬犯罪"。
245 which is related to disorderly behaviour in public places . It is stipulated in section 17B that Any person who at any public gathering acts in a disorderly manner for the purpose of preventing the transaction of the business for which the public gathering was called together or incites others so to act shall be guilty of an offence
除了第17B條以外，《公安條例》第26條亦可能適用。
Apart from section 17B section 26 of the Public Order Ordinance may also apply
我說的是"可能"，當然一切是基於事實為準。
What I said may of course everything is based on fact
第26條是關乎公眾聚集中倡議使用暴力。
Section 26 is about proposing violence at public gatherings
我提出這一點，只是想提醒一下大家作為公眾人物，君子不立危牆之下，希望大家謹言慎行。
I raise this point just to remind you all as public figure a person of integrity should stay away from hazardous situation hoping that we will be cautious with our speech and behaviour
代理主席，我支持陳克勤議員提出根據《議事規則》第49B條，動議"不得就毛孟靜議員動議的譴責議案再採取任何行動"的議案。
Deputy President I support the motion proposed by Mr CHAN Hak - kan under Rule 49B2A of the Rules of Procedure that no further action shall be taken on the censure motion moved by Ms Claudia MO
昨天和今天也聽到很多議員發言，首先，我對何君堯議員的人品和處事作風非常了解，而且作為同一個新界西選區的直選議員，我非常支持他。
We have heard the speeches delivered by a number of Members yesterday and today . First of all I understand very well the personality of Dr Junius HO and his way of doing things . As a Member directly elected from the same New Territories West constituency I support him very much
第一，在社會上煽動群眾；第二，在輿論上不停攻擊；最後，在立法會做一場"大龍鳳"，完成這場"大龍鳳"後，便可以落幕。
First they incite the mass in the society; second they attack unceasingly under the pretext of public opinion; and lastly they stage a spectacular show in the Legislative Council . Upon completion of this spectacular show the curtain will be dropped
當然，何君堯議員已經在不同場合說明自己"殺無赦"的說法，我不再重複，因為他本人已說了很多次，明顯跟他們說的完全是兩回事。
Of course Dr Junius HO has explained what he meant by his kill without mercy remark on various occasions . I will not repeat as he has said that many times but it is obvious that what they interpreted was completely different
所以，在這種情況下，我相信任何反對"港獨"的人，也會對這群人加以指責、加以制裁，"殺無赦"有何大不了？
Under such circumstance I believe anyone who opposes Hong Kong independence will reproach and impose sanctions on this group of people . What is the big deal about a kill without mercy remark?
這不是思想的問題，而是影響所有市民利益的問題，是不能縱容的。
It is not an issue of thinking but an issue that affects the interests of all members of the public . Such thinking cannot be harboured
所以，我認為何君堯議員只不過是代表大部分香港市民的心聲，說了一些正確的說話，卻因而受到攻擊。
So I consider that Dr Junius HOs words simply represented the heartfelt wishes of most Hong Kong people saying something right . However he has been attacked for this
這是泛民一向的"三部曲"，對政敵、不同政見的人採取封殺手段，這種手段我們已經司空見慣。
This is the three - step mechanism adopted by the pan - democratic camp all the time to employ a banning tactic toward political enemies and people with different political views . We have seen the repeated occurrence of such tactic
所以，我一定要向公眾說清楚，香港市民千萬不能相信他們所說的謊言。
I therefore have to state clearly to the public that the people of Hong Kong should never believe their lies
所以，主席，話說至此，我希望香港市民能夠清楚了解整件事，並且了解何君堯議員的意思。
So President that is all I want to say . I hope members of the public in Hong Kong can get the full picture clearly and understand what Dr Junius HO meant
此外，我亦了解到懲教署着力與社會各界持份者建立夥伴關係，為更生人士提供支援，亦與不同僱主、商業組織和法定機構合作，為釋囚尋找工作，讓他們盡快投入社會。
Moreover I also know that CSD endeavours to establish partnership with various sectors of the community to provide supports to rehabilitated persons and cooperates with different employers business organizations and statutory bodies to find jobs for ex - offenders so that they can integrate into the community as soon as possible
因此，我所了解的懲教署人員的工作情況，可能與一些議員同事剛才提及的印象有點不同，但我會從一個中立的角度來審議這議案。
Therefore the picture I have got from my understanding about CSD staff members work may be somewhat different from the impression that some fellow Members mentioned just now . Nevertheless I will take a neutral stance in considering this motion
張超雄議員今天根據《基本法》第七十三條第五項及第十項動議議案，我相信他的目的是為了替某些囚友的投訴，尋找真正的解決辦法。
Today Dr Fernando CHEUNG has moved a motion under Articles 735 and 7310 of the Basic Law . I believe that he is looking for a genuine way out for the complaints from some persons in custody
葛珮帆議員剛才發言的時候指出，8位議員於2017年12月28日在立法會申訴部聽取香港社區組織協會的申訴，我是其中一位議員，而動議本議案的張議員當然亦是其中一位。
Just now Dr Elizabeth QUAT pointed out in her speech that eight Members received the complaint from the Society for Community Organization at the Public Complaints Office on 28 December . While I was one of those eight Members Dr CHEUNG who has moved this motion was definitely another one amongst them
對於一些昔日囚友提出的個案，其實議員當天已提出一些關注及跟進。
Regarding the cases brought up by some ex - inmates Members actually raised some concerns and follow - ups then
團體提出的事宜，根本不是單單懲教署可以解決，其中有些涉及保安局的整體政策，亦有些應該由警務處跟進；有些與懲教署的醫生有關，可能要由衞生署跟進。
Essentially CSD alone could not solve those issues raised by the deputation . Amongst the issues some involved the general policy of the Security Bureau while some should be followed up by the Police Force . Some were related to the doctors of CSD which might need to be followed up by DH
此外，團體代表提出了一些指引。
Besides members of the deputation proposed some guidelines
就此，議員要求他們提供具體資料及簽署同意書，以便與政府當局舉行個案會議的時候跟進。
In this connection Members requested them to provide substantial information and written consent to facilitate Members follow - up on the issues with the Administration at the case conference
議員在會面時亦表示，如果團體代表懷疑或聲稱有懲教署職員收受利益、接受賄賂、以權謀私、干犯公職人員行為失當、涉及毆打、恐嚇等指控，他們應分別向廉政公署及警方提供資料，作出舉報。
Members also said at the meeting that if the deputation suspected or claimed that CSD staff had received advantages taken bribes abused power for personal gains committed offence of misconduct in public office or involved in such accusations as assault and intimidation the deputation should report with information to the Independent Commission Against Corruption ICAC and the Police Force respectively
主席，我在此申報，我是廉署審查貪污舉報諮詢委員會的委員，亦是保護證人覆核委員會小組的委員。
President I hereby declare that I am a member of both the Operations Review Committee and the Panel of the Witness Protection Review Board of ICAC
因此，我十分認同數位建制派議 員剛才發言時所提出，如果我們要更聚焦處理張超雄議員想幫助囚友的事宜，傳召懲教署署長或助理署長是否最好的辦法？
Hence I agree very much with the query of several pro - establishment Members made in their speeches which was whether summoning the Commissioner or Assistant Commissioner of Correctional Services was the best way if we wanted to be more focused to deal with Dr Fernando CHEUNGs matter about helping the inmates
還是利用現有更有效的機制會更好呢？
Or will it be better to make use of the current mechanism which will be more effective?
主席，我簡短發言，就是要表明不支持張超雄議員動議的議案。
President with my brief speech I have to state expressly that I do not support the motion moved by Dr Fernando CHEUNG
我希望透過立法會現有的機制，對事件進行深入探討後，再找出更有效的解決辦法。
I hope to find out a more effective solution after looking into the matter deeply via the existing mechanism of the Legislative Council
主席，剛才郭家麒醫生的說法很明顯印證了我原本的想法，即這項議案根本是幫助某些人士報仇。
President apparently the remark made by Dr KWOK Ka - ki just now has confirmed my original thinking that this motion is intended to help certain people to take revenge
一般而言，香港警務處、消防處、政府飛行服務隊、香港海關或入境事務處可透過不同的工作，在市民面前立功，提升他們的正面形象，甚至可透過電視劇說出他們的遭遇，令市民對他們有好感。
Generally speaking there are different ways for the Hong Kong Police Force Fire Services Department Government Flying Service Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department as well as Immigration Department to make meritorious contributions before the public which would help promote their positive images
對懲教人員而言，只有負面的新聞報道，而沒有可以提升他們在市民心中形象的方法，令懲教工作困難重重。
As there is only negative media coverage and nothing has been done to promote CSDs image in the mind of the public CSD officers find it increasingly difficult to carry out their correctional duties
根據早前《東方日報》報道，我們知道議會內有部分人士利用職權，不斷到監獄探訪，希望令某些人士可以減少在囚時間。
As reported by Oriental Daily News earlier some Members had made use of their powers to make frequent visits to prisons hoping that certain persons could spend less time in jail
如果我們今天贊成這項議案，會令懲教工作更難以展開。
If we support this motion today it will become increasingly difficult to carry out correctional work
監獄內除了有議會內某部分人士的朋友外，還有很多誤入歧途的青少年或普通市民。
In prisons apart from those who are friends of some Legislative Council Members there are also many young people or ordinary citizens who have gone astray
所以，現時在立法會處理這件事，根本是一項干預專業及干預紀律部隊的行為，我極不認同。
Therefore the handling of this matter by the Legislative Council today is tantamount to interfering professionalism and the disciplined services which I strongly disagree
對於一般學生，老師的一些懲罰或教育方法只要不是太過分或違反法例，我們是否一定要干預老師的專業判斷？
For the case of students should we interfere in the professional judgment of teachers so long as the punishment or education approach has not gone too far or breached the law?
尤其是在立法會這個充滿政治性的地方，我們應否干預懲教人員的判斷？
In particular is it appropriate for a place as political as the Legislative Council to interfere in the judgment of CSD officers?
將一些相對專業的行為帶來這個政治的地方加以干預，對事情沒有幫助，令在囚人士更難透過懲教工作自力更生，在出獄後再融入社會。
The act of bringing relatively professional decisions to this political venue is not conducive to improving the situation; worse still it only makes it even more difficult for persons in custody to rehabilitate through correctional services and reintegrate into society after their release
透過相對透明的審判而被判入獄的人，市民可以看到他們是否真的犯罪。
Members of the public can see for themselves if the persons who were sentenced to imprisonment after a relatively transparent trial had actually committed any crime
我不希望香港社會日後變 成一個黑白顛倒、是非不分、指鹿為馬的社會。
I do not want to see our community being turned into a place where people cannot tell black from white or right from wrong and even let falsehood be passed off as truth
所以，我反對張超雄議員的議案，希望市民還懲教署一個公道。
Therefore I oppose Dr Fernando CHEUNGs motion and hope that members of the public will return justice to CSD
其實，討論今天這議題是不會獲得多少掌聲的，但正如張超雄議員多年來的工作般，他所做的事情也不會獲得很多掌聲，但我相信今天這項討論是正面的，亦希望今天在席的建制派議員，可以察悉我們今天的討論並不是很政治化，而是想討論制度的問題。
But as in the case of Dr Fernando CHEUNGs devotion to his work over all these years he will not receive much applause for his efforts either . Nevertheless I believe our discussion today will yield positive results . I also hope that pro - establishment Members who are present here today can realize that our discussion today is not quite so much of a political nature and we wish to discuss systemic problems instead
所以，我懇請他們不要輕易因為黨派、政治立場的原因，便輕易地投下反對票，我希望大家可以先聽一聽我們的理據。
Therefore I sincerely ask them to refrain from casting an opposition vote casually for reasons of their political affiliation and political stance . I hope Members can listen to our grounds first
主席，不知道你昨天的晚餐有否吃到雞翼、排骨和芥蘭呢？
President I wonder if you had chicken wings spare ribs and kale for dinner yesterday
這些名詞對於很多香港人來說，只是飯桌上的食物，但不少曾經進出懲教所的人聽在耳裏，卻可能是一個又一個的惡夢。
To many Hong Kong people these are names denoting dishes on the dining table only . But they may nonetheless sound like nightmares one after another to many of those who have been detained in correctional institutions
參考去年年中一系列有關少年囚犯的報道，又或張超雄議員剛才的發言，便會知道這些名詞在監獄是各種體罰的代名詞。
If Members refer to a series of media reports issued in the middle of last year concerning young adult prisoners or the earlier speech of Dr Fernando CHEUNG they will realize that they are synonyms for various forms of physical punishment in prison
根據報道，如果囚犯稍稍做錯事，甚或可能完全沒有做錯事，只要懲教署職員喜歡，便可以隨時對在囚人士施以各種肉體或精神上的處罰。
As reported if a prisoner commits a subtle mistake or perhaps even if he has committed no mistake at all officers of the Correctional Services Department CSD may impose any form of physical or mental punishment on the prisoner anytime they like
我當然不希望一竹篙打一船人，我亦不相信每位在懲教署服務的公務員，處事也毫無道理。
Of course I do not hope to make this sweeping accusation . Neither do I believe any civil servants serving in CSD are utterly unreasonable in carrying out their work
可是，根據報道，在這些人身上發生的故事，亦確實是事實。
But according to media reports their encounters are indeed true
主席，去年是懲教署改名35周年，署方的前名為監獄署，改名的目的就是希望把監獄由一個監禁之處，改為懲罰和教誨並重的地方。
President last year marked the 35 year since CSD changed its name . CSD was formerly known as the Prisons Department . The purpose of changing its name was to transform prisons as a place for incarceration to a place attaching equal importance to both punishment and correctional teaching
名稱更改了30多年，但管理層以至前線工作人員，又有否隨着改名而把思維與時並進呢？
Its name has been changed for some 30 years . But has the mentality of its management and frontline personnel progressed abreast of the times with the change in the departments name?
更使人擔心的是，如果接受傳媒採訪的50多位前囚犯所形容的情況屬實，明顯地，懲教署的名字可能改變了，但它的思維，最低限度是有部分人的思維，卻仍然停留在電影"監獄風雲"或"黑獄斷腸歌"的年代，這才是令人擔心的。
What is more worrying is that if the case depicted by the 50 or so ex - prisoners during a media interview is true then obviously despite the change in CSDs name its mentality or at least the mentality of some staff members still remains at the times portrayed in the movie Prison on Fire or Chinese Midnight Express . This is rather a matter of our concern
主席，令人更難以接受的，就是懲教署對指控作出的回應。
President what is even more hardly acceptable is CSDs reply to their allegations
懲教署的回應也許與保安局局長剛才的回應相同，就是歡迎投訴人提供證據，盡快報警處理。
CSDs reply may sound identical to the reply given by the Secretary for Security just now as it asserts that complainants are welcome to provide evidence and are urged to report their cases to the Police as soon as possible
主席，這番說話是官腔，而這種官腔聽在很多曾 受這種苦的人耳裏，不但感覺很"離地"，而且相當難聽。
President this statement is a stock answer . And to many of those who have experienced such ordeals such a stock answer sounds not only out of tune with the reality but also very unpleasant
彷如很多時候，議會內絕大部分的建制派同事也會說："不要爭論了，我們付諸表決吧"。
The case is similar to an overwhelming majority of pro - establishment Members who often say in the legislature Let us stop arguing and put the motion to vote
其實，只要有基本常識的人，也可以想象到當一個人的自由和生活權利被剝奪時，他們又可以提供到多少有力證據呢？
Actually anyone with basic common sense can image this How much forceful evidence can be furnished by a person when he is deprived of the right to free movement and living?
懲教署或局長，是否真的期望投訴人可以拿出自己被不合理對待時的閉路電視片段，以協助證實他們的陳述或申訴呢？
Does CSD or the Secretary really expect a complainant to be able to produce closed - circuit television footages capturing the unreasonable treatment on them as proof to support his representation or complaint?
主席，他們所講述的親身經歷，又有多少時候會被接納為證據呢？
President speaking of the personal experience shared by them how often will it be admitted into evidence?
權力使人腐化，在懲教處所內，權力更加完全掌握在懲教人員手中。
Power corrupts and in correctional institutions CSD officers are even vested with total power
不過，時代已經來到21世紀的2018年，任何先進文明的社會也會致力改善囚犯權利，目的就是希望透過人道精神，讓曾經犯事的人對世界改觀，從而減低他們獲釋後重犯的機會。
But time - wise we have now entered 2018 in the 21 century . Any advanced and civilized society will strive to improve prisoners rights with the aim of changing ex - offenders perception of the world through humanitarianism and in turn reducing their chance of re - offending upon release
事實上，監獄環境越優良的國家或社會，它們的犯罪率反而越見下降。
Actually crime rates in countries or societies providing a better prison environment are lower instead
主席，這證明使囚犯恐懼、侮辱他們，或完全剝奪他們的尊嚴，以起阻嚇作用的這套管理思維，其實已經遠遠落後於時代了。
President this shows that the management mindset of achieving deterrence by means of breeding fear in prisoners insulting them or totally ripping them of their dignity actually lags far behind the times
主席，我們看看由張超雄議員和邵家臻議員草擬的"改善香港在囚人士權利及監獄環境建議書"，大至在囚人士的進修、再培訓，小至一對"白飯魚"、一部收音機，我們看到的是懲教署其實是社會的縮影，當中的確有很多問題，我們亦不相信可以一朝一日便把所有事情改變。
President let us look at the Proposal on Improving Prisoners Rights and Prison Environment in Hong Kong drafted by Dr Fernando CHEUNG and Mr SHIU Ka - chun . It sets out some major recommendations including prisoners further studies and retraining and also some minor ones such as the provision of a pair of canvas sneakers and a radio . We can see that CSD is actually an epitome of society and it is honestly plagued by many problems
可是，我們希望做到的是，既然我們遇到很多問題、面對很多疑問，便應該透過《基本法》賦予我們的權利，邀請懲教署署長或副署長到立法會，開誠布公地討論問題。
We also do not believe that we can change everything overnight . However our objective is that as we face many problems with various queries in mind we should utilize the power conferred on us by the Basic Law to invite the Commissioner of Correctional Services and the Deputy Commissioner to the Legislative Council for a frank and open discussion on the relevant problems
透過我們看到的文件，當中反映的事實可能證明是我們有錯，證明我們只是片面之詞。
The truth reflected in the papers we read may prove that we are wrong and we are only presented with one - sided stories
我們只想透過公開程序、一個實際有法律效力的程序，容許公權力在陽光下，說服香港人即使在社會上最黑暗的角落、在社會上最沒有關注的角落，事情其實也不如我們想象般差。
We merely wish to resort to an open procedure one which has actual legal effects to enable the department vested with public power to convince Hong Kong people under the sun that even at the darkest corner in society even at the corner of utterly no concern to the community things are actually not as appalling as we have imagined
主席，我們希望不單在囚人士的權利會與時並進，同樣地，我們亦希望協助署方和前線同事，正如胡志偉議員剛才所說，我們也想協助香港特區政府保持威信。
President we hope that prisoners rights can progress abreast of the times . Likewise we also hope to assist CSD and its frontline personnel . Just as Mr WU Chi - wai asserted just now we also wish to assist the HKSAR Government in maintaining its authority
代理主席，我今次的發言當然是支持梁繼昌議員的議案。
Deputy President it is certain that I speak today in support of Mr Kenneth LEUNGs motion
我在正式發言前想表達，議員根據《基本法》第七十三條第五及十項提出議案，要求官員作證及出示文件，本身在政治上不存在太強烈的立場。
Before I formally begin my speech I would like to convey that the act of a Member putting forward a motion to ask officials to testify and produce documents under Articles 735 and 7310 of the Basic Law does not represent an overwhelmingly strong political view
過去未曾提出類似議案，不應構成否決這項議案的理由，在席的每位議員也應該審視我們的理據是否充分，繼而再作決定。
The fact that no similar motions have been put forward before should not constitute the reason to vote against this motion . Each Member present here should consider whether we have sound justifications and makes his subsequent decision
針對水炮車方面，當然不會沒有爭議，代理主席。
Deputy President insofar as water cannon vehicle is concerned certainly the topic will not go without controversies
早於2016年1月，已經傳出警方斥資2,700萬元招標購買水炮車的消息，警方表示希望多一項武力上的選擇，以處理群眾示威。
In as early as January 2016 there had been news that the Police would conduct a tender exercise for the acquisition of water cannon vehicles with a total amount reaching 27 million . The Police have indicated that they wish to have another option for the use of force in their handling of demonstrators
實際上，處理群眾示威，水炮車好比群眾管理車。
As a matter of fact in handling demonstrators water cannon vehicles are comparable to crowd control vehicles
