本港企業以中、小型企業為主，部分中小企僱主可能因疏忽或欠缺相關知識而並未有系統地為員工提供職安健保障。
Most of the enterprises in Hong Kong are small and medium enterprises SMEs and due to negligence or a lack of the relevant knowledge some employers of SMEs have not provided their employees with proper protection in occupational safety and health in a systematic manner
在僱主未有為僱員提供職安健培訓或配置足夠安全設備及場地管理欠佳或缺乏完善的工作制度等的情況下，僱員均較易受傷。
In the lack of suitable training in occupational safety and health or adequate safety equipment provided to employees and under poor site management or the absence of an enhanced work system employees may get injured very easily
此外，香港現在幾乎全民就業，人手短缺的情況非常普遍。
In addition we have literally achieved full employment and manpower shortage is a common problem in Hong Kong
僱主在人手不足的情況下，往往更容易忽略僱員的職安健，這樣會增加員工受傷的風險。
As such it will be more likely for employers to neglect the occupational safety and health of their employees thus exposing them to a greater risk of sustaining injury at work
我們希望勞工處職業安全健康局能積極向僱主多作宣傳，協助他們改善工作環境和員工管理，並免費提供職安健培訓課程，以提升員工對職安健的意識。
It is our hope that the Labour Department and the Occupational Safety and Health Council would take proactive measures to promote such knowledge among employers and help them improve their working environment and staff management and provide free training in occupational safety and health with a view to promoting employees awareness in this regard
政府亦應鼓勵僱主增聘人手，以紓緩員工的工作壓力，並為僱員安排適當的休息和午膳時間，以免僱員因過勞而受傷或患病。
The Government should also encourage employers to recruit additional workers thereby relieving work pressure of their employees and make appropriate arrangements for their employees to have short break and lunch break so that they will not get injured or become ill because of overwork
代理主席，鑒於不少員工的職安健意識較薄弱，因此我們亦希望政府認真加強宣傳推廣、巡查和教導僱員認識自身的權益，讓他們明白到不管有何賠償或保險保障，最終受到傷害的，也是僱員的身體。
Deputy President given a weak awareness of occupational safety and health among employees it is also our hope that the Government would put in much effort to promote publicity conduct inspection and provide education programme to employees so that they will have a better understanding of their rights and benefits and realize that no matter what compensation or insurance cover will be offered injured employees and prescribed occupational disease sufferers are ultimately the persons to suffer
最後，我想指出一點，就是香港以往在職業安全健康這個課題上，一直落後於先進國家，主要原因在於政府宣傳職安健的工作成效不彰，香港整體社會缺乏職安健意識，加上職安健推廣活動多以講座、展覽和嘉年華等形式為主，活動的吸引力相對不足，難以推動不同行業的僱主或僱員主動參與。
Finally I would like to point out that with regard to the promotion of occupational safety and health Hong Kong has all along been lagging behind other advanced countries . This is mainly because the Governments efforts in publicizing occupational safety and health are ineffective the people of Hong Kong generally lack awareness of occupational safety and health and the relatively limited attractiveness of the activities held to promote occupational safety and health . As evidenced by past experience it is very difficult to encourage active participation by employers or employees of different trades and industries with the organization of seminars exhibitions and carnivals
我們建議政府檢討現時職安健宣傳推廣活動的成效，優化相關宣傳推廣策略，並善用不同宣傳渠道，例如即時通訊軟件和網絡社交平台等，以提升宣傳效果。
We suggest that the Government should review the effectiveness of the present promotional efforts in publicizing occupational safety and health enhance the relevant promotional strategies and make good use of various publicity channels to enhance the promotional effects
此外，為鼓勵年輕人關注職安健，我們建議在中學階段的生涯規劃教育中向學生提供職前或有關暑期工作的安全講座，從而讓學生能及早認識職安健的重要性，以期減少他們在投身職場後發生意外的機會。
Furthermore in order to promote awareness of occupational safety and health among young people we propose to include pre - employment or summer job safety talks in life planning education carried out in secondary schools so that students will learn about the importance of occupational safety and health at an early stage thereby minimizing the possibility of getting injured at work after they have joined the labour market
總結而言，社會應致力推動職安健文化的發展，減少職場意外的發生。
In summary we should be committed to promoting occupational safety and health culture in the community to minimize the number of work - related accidents
建立職安健文化不能單靠個人力量，僱主、僱員及政府均應攜手，合力提高全民的職安健意識。
Occupational safety and health culture can only be established with collective efforts . Employers employees and the Government should join hands and work together to promote awareness of occupational safety and health of all people in Hong Kong
張超雄議員和梁耀忠議員剛才也說，政府過去曾提出過百宗檢控，但成功檢控的卻只有兩三宗，就是因為法例不健全。
In their speeches Dr Fernando CHEUNG and Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung have also attributed the reason for only two or three successful prosecutions among the hundreds initiated by the Government to the unsound law
我相信主席也可能曾接獲這類投訴，就是很多時候職業介紹所向僱主介紹外傭時說有百般好，最終卻"貨不對辦"，外傭來港兩三個月後便說要轉工等，令職業介紹所有機會向僱主濫收佣金。
I believe Chairman has received complaints of such kind often the employment agency says all sorts of good things about the foreign domestic helper when making referrals to the employer who eventually finds out the product does not match the description resulting in situations such as the foreign domestic helper asking to change jobs after arrival in Hong Kong for two or three months thereby creating an opportunity for the employment agency to overcharge commissions from the employer
相信每位議員也同意，議員在議事堂上發言，由於受《立法會條例》保障，因此我們的發言內容，或是在發言期間指涉任何人士的說話，也無須負上法律責任。
I believe every Member will agree that as we are protected under the Legislative Council Ordinance we shall not be legally responsible for the content of our speeches or words involving any person during our speeches in the Chamber
對，在《條例》保障下，他可以這樣發言，但這是否恰當？
Yes under the umbrella of the Ordinance he could say so but was it appropriate?
就此，難道我又要責罵法援署，指它有政治審查嗎？
Regarding this does it mean that I have to blame LAD for political censorship?
同時，有些泛民議員會說法援署的律師或大狀相當專業，是會按照他們的角度衡量。
At the same time some pro - democratic Members say that the solicitors or barristers of LAD are rather professional and they would evaluate the cases according to their perspective
可是，其實我們剛才的討論，也尚未進入張超雄議員提出的事宜，即被拘留者可以申請法援律師的服務，這種在較文明地方或國家也有的做法。
However our discussions just now in fact did not touch on the issue raised by Dr Fernando CHEUNG ie . to allow detainees to apply for the services of legal aid lawyers a practice which is available in more civilized places or countries
然而，我們的議會卻因一名市民申請法援，便在此批判他10多分鐘，而主席卻毫無反應。
Nevertheless our Council criticized a citizen for more than 10 minutes just because he applied for legal aid but the President showed no response at all
如果有市民真的用這個方法去控告她時，又會被指是濫用制度。
If there is really a citizen who sues her in this way he or she will also be accused of abusing the system
根本在浪費地球資源。
It is a sheer waste of the global resources
如果沒有，我現在請民政事務局局長答辯。
If not I now call upon the Secretary for Home Affairs to reply
主席，簡單而言，大家也知道這項《2017年僱傭條例草案》的原意旨在保障一些離鄉別井的外傭。
To put it simply Chairman we all know that the original intent of the Employment Amendment No . 2 Bill 2017 the Bill seeks to protect some foreign domestic helpers who have left their homeland
我們當然不希望發生這種情況，因而便有了今天這項《條例草案》，希望打擊這些透過濫收佣金剝削外傭的情況。
We certainly will not like to see this happen and so we have this Bill today seeking to combat such overcharging of commission which has subjected foreign domestic helpers to exploitation
其實會議廳內所有同事對這項《條例草案》的提出、其原意或其想達到的目的沒有任何異議，大家也想保障離鄉別井的外傭免被濫收佣金的無良職業介紹所剝削，這一點大家也是明白的。
In fact all Honourable colleagues in the Chamber have no objection to the introduction original intent or desired objectives of this Bill . It is our common goal to protect foreign domestic helpers who have left their homeland from exploitation by unscrupulous employment agencies engaged in overcharging of commission
在現時這個環節，我們主要集中討論的是究竟檢控時限應採納政府提出的建議，即由6個月延長至12個月，還是張超雄議員提出的建議，即乾脆延長至24個月。
We all understand this . In the current session the focus of our discussion is whether we should adopt the Governments proposal of extending the time limit for prosecution from 6 months to 12 months or Dr Fernando CHEUNGs proposal of simply extending it to 24 months
主席，我一直很用心聆聽不同同事的發言，特別是張超雄議員。
Chairman I have all along been listening attentively to the speeches of various Honourable colleagues particularly Dr Fernando CHEUNG
由於他是提出這項修正案的議員，所以我很留心聆聽他的解說。
As he is the mover of this amendment I have paid special attention to his elaboration
我留意到他的說法指24個月的檢控時限是考慮到實際情況，例如有些外傭仍在合約期內，簡單而言即是仍在為其僱主工作。
I note his remark that the proposal of a 24 - month time limit for prosecution has taken into account the actual situation . For example some foreign domestic helpers are still under contract which in simple terms means that they are still working for their employers
在這種情況下，她們可能有種種不同的考量或壓力，未必敢於第一時間作出舉報。
Under such circumstances they may not have the courage to make a report at the first opportunity due to various considerations and pressure
我當然明白張超雄議員的想法，但我們在審議法案時，往往好像有一個天秤。
I certainly understand what Dr Fernando CHEUNG thinks . But when we scrutinize a Bill there often seems to be a pair of scales
這個天秤有兩端，而我亦聽到天秤另一端的聲音，例如政府的說法是如果大家認為6個月的時間不足，可以延長至12個月。
This pair of scales has two sides and I have also heard the voice on its other side like the Governments remark that it may be extended to 12 months if Members hold that 6 months time is insufficient
如果檢控時限較長，我們當然希望能進行更多有效的搜證工作，所以我們要求職業介紹所須備存相關紀錄的時限亦要因應需要而作出適當的延長。
With a longer time limit for prosecution we certainly hope that more can be done in terms of effective evidence collection . For this reason we require that the record keeping period imposed on employment agencies be extended as appropriate and necessary
主席，我並非相關法案委員會的委員，但我也很留心聽大家的發言，很希望參與今天全體委員會的審議過程。
Chairman I am not a member of the relevant Bills Committee but eager to take part in the scrutiny in the committee of the whole Council today I have listened attentively to Members speeches
難道立法會要做橡皮圖章？
Should the Legislative Council be reduced to a rubber stamp?
主席，我並不認同張超雄議員這種看法。
Chairman I do not share Dr Fernando CHEUNGs view
容許我提出一點，就是我認為我們的社會在處理各種事宜時均有一套過程和程序。
Let me raise a point . In my view a set of processes and procedures is in place in our society for addressing various issues
勞顧會是處理勞資問題的平台，而我們過往亦對其表示尊重。
LAB is a platform for addressing labour issues and we did respect it in the past
坦白說，如果勞顧會就某項勞資問題達成共識，再基於這些共識把建議提交立法會，在大原則上理應不會有太大分歧。
Frankly if LAB has reached a consensus on a certain labour issue and submitted its proposal to the Legislative Council on the basis of such consensus there should not be much disagreement over the general principle
然而，今天在這個階段，我認為大家應先取得共識及 尊重過往的既定程序，先完成這一步。
Nevertheless at this stage today I think Members should complete this step first forging a consensus and respecting the established procedures as usual
眾所周知，根據香港法律，任何案件必須經法庭正式審判才算定罪。
As we all know under the laws of Hong Kong conviction shall only come after formal court trial of a case
因此，主席，我希望說的是無論檢控時限是6個月、12個月或將來有機會延長至24個月，執法機關亦應盡快進行調查。
Hence Chairman what I wish to say is that no matter whether the time limit for prosecution is 6 months 12 months or 24 months given the possible extension in the future law enforcement agencies should conduct investigations as soon as possible
如果投訴成立，便應盡快進行檢控，不應拖延。
If a complaint is substantiated they should proceed with prosecution expeditiously and brook no delay
主席，基於所述理由，我發言支持政府建議把時效限制由6個月延長至12個月的修正案。
In view of the foregoing Chairman I have spoken in support of the Governments amendment proposing an extension of the time limit from 6 months to 12 months
主席，我發言支持張超雄議員的修正案。
Chairman I rise to speak in support of Dr Fernando CHEUNGs amendment
其實，整項條例草案最大的好處是，檢討這項條例會對很多存心不良的職業介紹所，特別是剝削外傭的職業介紹所，按新修訂的法例作出處罰，包括監禁3年及罰款35萬元，這是大家均同意的方向。
In fact the biggest merit of the entire Bill is that with a review of the Employment Ordinance many ill - intentioned employment agencies especially those exploiting the foreign domestic helpers will be punished according to the amended ordinance which includes imprisonment for three years and a fine of 350,000 and this is a direction agreed by us all
現在要討論的是，我們是否接納張超雄議員提出的24個月檢控時效限制，抑或局長提出的12個月。
What we are discussing now is whether we should accept that the time limit for prosecution should be 24 months as proposed by Dr Fernando CHEUNG or 12 months as proposed by the Secretary
我們面對的邏輯是，如果我們要幫助這些手無寸鐵、孤立無援和離鄉別井的家庭傭工，便必須切身處地考慮他們的情況。
The logic we face is that if we wish to help these powerless vulnerable foreign domestic helpers who have left their homeland to work in Hong Kong we must consider their situation by stepping into their shoes
大部分外傭離開自己熟悉的家鄉來到香港，不大明白甚至不通曉香港的語言和文化，很多更可能只懂說自己的語言。
Most foreign domestic helpers have left their homeland to which they are closely attached and come to Hong Kong and work here . They do not understand very well or simply know nothing about the language and culture of Hong Kong and many of them may even speak their native tongue only
他們有甚麼機會、有多少時間和空間可以有機會接觸這麼多資訊？
What opportunity or how much time and leeway do they have to access so much information?
大家不要忘記，說到這些有關法例的資訊，莫說是外傭，很多僱主或僱用外傭的普通市民也不知道。
Let us not forget that when it comes to information on the legislation even many employers or ordinary citizens who are employers of foreign domestic helpers have no idea about it let alone foreign domestic helpers
這些被人扣取金錢的勞工從醒覺被剝削至知道和找到方法投訴或進行法律行動，這過程需要很長時間，我不會容易相信海外勞工或外傭很容易具備知識和找到渠道作出這些控訴。
For these workers who have been overcharged it takes them a very long time from becoming aware of their exploitation to knowing or finding a way to lodge a complaint or take legal actions . I am not readily convinced that a foreign worker or foreign domestic helper can readily have such knowledge and access to a channel to make these allegations
我也聽到局長的發言，他說如果把檢控時效限制增至24個月，當事人的記憶便會模糊，然後較難取證。
I have listened to the speech of the Secretary . He said that if the time limit for prosecution were extended to 24 months the memory of the person concerned might fade and evidence collection would hence become more difficult
我認同有部分外傭能夠取得很多信息，有很多同鄉幫忙，但有很多傭工是單獨和孤立無援的，有些無良僱主或中介公司甚至不讓他們放假，要他們不停工作。
I agree that some foreign domestic helpers can access a lot of information and have the assistance of many compatriots from their countries but many foreign domestic helpers are struggling on their own and have only themselves to count on . Some unscrupulous employers or intermediaries even do not let them take leave and make them work on all days
試問在這些情況下，他們有多少能力及有多少時間可以獲得這些信息呢？
Under such circumstances how far do they have the ability and the time to obtain such information?
所以，我不覺得政府有需要在這方面設限，說24個月的建議不能夠執行。
Therefore I do not think that the Government should set a limit for this and argue against the feasibility of the proposal for 24 months
不過，主席，親疏有別，當然也是一個事實。
However Chairman the practice of affinity differentiation is of course a fact
不過，我相信他也未必是指工聯會，亦相信他不會。
But I think he might not be referring to FTU . I believe he would not be referring to it
我相信，工聯會及民主建港協進聯盟在勞顧會有很大勢力，如果他們同意以24個月為期限，他們不難說服自己的委員在勞顧會內支持24個月的建議，除非他們不想，那便要問他們的原因。
I trust that FTU and the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong are powerful in LAB and if they agree to set the time limit at 24 months it would not be difficult for them to convince their members on LAB to throw weight behind the proposal for 24 months unless they did not wish to in which case only they themselves know why
主席，如果以和諧作為一個最重要的標準，其實便不需要立法，亦不需要討論寬限期，因為如果要詢問所有僱主甚至中介公司的代表多少個月的檢控時限他們才覺滿意，他們當然會說最好是6個月，完全不要改動，一下子便已經過了6個月，那他們便不會被控告，法例等於名存實亡。
Chairman if harmony is a most important standard actually legislation would not be necessary; nor would it be necessary to hold discussions on the time limit . It is because if all the employers and even representatives of the intermediaries are asked in how many months the prosecution period should lapse in order for them to feel happy they would certainly say that the best would be six months and no changes should be made for six months would be passed in a blink of an eye and no charges could be laid against them thus rendering the law virtually non - existent
對他們來說，法例最好名存實亡，因為這樣便無法控告這些傷害基層或外傭的中介公司。
They would consider it best for the law to exist in name only because it would be impossible to prosecute these intermediaries that have harmed the grass roots or foreign domestic helpers
所以，如果政府真的以民為本，正如新一屆政府或局長口口聲聲說要大有為和希望幫助弱勢社群，為何不走出正確的一步，容許有24個月的檢控時限呢？
Therefore if the Government genuinely upholds the people - oriented principle and as the new Government or the Secretary has categorically said that proactive efforts would be made and that assistance would be provided to the disadvantaged groups why do they not take a correct step by allowing a time limit of 24 months for prosecution?
我相信如果當局容許把檢控時限定為24個月，讓張超雄議員的修正案通過，我看不到有任何外傭團體，無論是本地或國際社會或國際勞工組織會譴責政府的做法。
I think if the authorities would allow the time limit for prosecution to be set at 24 months and endorse Dr Fernando CHEUNGs amendment I do not see any foreign domestic helper organization whether it be local or international organizations or the International Labour Organization would condemn the Government for doing so
我稍後亦想聽聽代表勞工界的建制派議員的發言，因為既然黃定光議員不斷使用一些挑撥勞工與僱主的語 言，我相信作為一個傳統的建制派勞工政黨，沒理由不發聲，應該與他劃清界線。
I would like to listen to the speeches of the pro - establishment Members representing the labour sector later on because since Mr WONG Ting - kwong has kept making remarks to drive a wedge between workers and employers I think there is no reason for a traditional pro - establishment labour party not to utter a word . They should make a clean break with him
"DQ"只是一個最明顯及最差的例子，其實在議會內有更多不公平的事情在發生。
DQ or the disqualification of Members is only a most obvious and the worst example . In this Council there are actually a lot more incidents of unfairness happening
我謹此陳辭，支持張超雄議員的修正案。
With these remarks I support Dr Fernando CHEUNGs amendment
在香港普通法的刑事法律中，刑事罪行大致可分為兩種，一種是屬於可按簡易程序治罪的罪行，說得通俗點即較輕的罪行，這樣大家會較易明白。
Under the criminal law of the common law of Hong Kong criminal offences generally fall into two categories . One of them is summary offences or in laymans terms minor offences which will be easier for people to understand
我一直聆聽同事的發言，亦有細心思考。
While listening to the speeches of Honourable colleagues I have also been thinking carefully
我剛才在第一次發言時已表示基於種種理由，包括勞顧會所達成的共識或根據一些既定程序，我認為我們應先走這一步，把檢控時限由6個月延長至12個月。
When I spoke for the first time earlier on I already expressed my view that we should take this step first extending the time limit for prosecution from 6 months to 12 months due to various reasons including the consensus reached by LAB or according to some established procedures
變成可公訴罪行的效果是甚麼呢？
What is the effect of making it an indictable offence?
首先，可公訴罪行並無所謂檢控時限，這一點我要告訴電視機旁的觀眾。
First I have to tell the audience in front of the television that there is no so - called time limit for prosecution for indictable offences
其實它沿自英國。
In fact it originated in the United Kingdom
大家可以留意到英文文本亦與英國的Magistrates' Courts Act非常相似，而這是一些背景資料。
Members may also note the similarities between the English text and the Magistrates Courts Act of the United Kingdom and this is some background information
這項《條例草案》有一點很有趣，可供大家參考，而局長有機會亦可回應我們。
There is an interesting point in this Bill for Members reference and if possible the Secretary may also give us some feedback
根據《條例草案》今次提出的改動，監禁年期已提高至3年。
According to the changes proposed by the Bill this time around the term of imprisonment has been raised to three years
既然罰則已訂明為監禁3年，不如乾脆把它訂為可公訴罪行，不就是一了百了的做法嗎？
While the penalty has been prescribed to be three - year imprisonment it may as well be stipulated as an indictable offence . Is it not a once - and - for - all solution?
雖然我沒有參與法案委員會，並非其中一員，但我當然也理解在法案委員會的會議上，委員可能曾進行其他討論或提出其他觀點。
Although I have not joined the Bills Committee as a member I certainly understand that at meetings of the Bills Committee members may have had other discussions or put forward other views
正如我今早所說，或許勞顧會在討論這個問題時已達成一定共識，提出應如何處理。
As stated by me this morning LAB may have reached some consensus on the ways to address this issue during their discussion
因此，或許我留待局長稍後有機會再告知我們相關情況。
Hence maybe let me leave it to the Secretary to tell us about the situation later on if possible
我亦不想繞過勞顧會，將一些大家花工夫討論得來的成果推翻。
I also do not wish to circumvent LAB destroying the fruit of the hard work of members engaged in the discussion
不過，我有責任提出我的觀點，就是既然這項《條例草案》已將罰則提升至最高可監禁3年，而牽涉的罪行又相當複雜，其實已足以定義為可公訴罪行。
Nevertheless I am obliged to express my viewpoint . As this Bill has raised the penalty so that a maximum imprisonment term of three years may be imposed and given the complexity of the offence it can actually be defined as an indictable offence
我認為就可公訴罪行而言，即使由裁判法院審理，將來律政司亦可按照情況申請將案件轉交區域法院審理。
I think as far as indictable offences are concerned even if they are heard at Magistrates Courts where appropriate DoJ may still make an application to transfer the cases to the District Court for hearing in the future
我希望政府向我們承諾設立檢討時限，當措施實施了一段時間後進行檢討。
I hope the Government will make an undertaking to us that a time frame for review will be set so as to review the situation after the measure has been in effect for some time
如果在檢討後發現有不妥當之處，我希望政府下一步可把相關罪行訂為可公訴罪行。
In case of any defect identified upon review I hope the Government will take the next step to stipulate the relevant offence as an indictable offence
如此一來，日後便無須設立檢討時限，亦證明了大家確認這是嚴重罪行，需要切實打擊。
In that case it will not be necessary to set a time frame for review in the future acknowledging the fact that it is commonly seen as a serious offence in need of concrete enforcement action
我支持今次的議案，將普通計劃的財務資格由290,380元上調至302,000元，以及將輔助計劃的限額由1,451,900元上調至1,509,980元。
I support this motion which seeks to increase the financial eligibility limit FEL under the Ordinary Legal Aid Scheme OLAS from 290,380 to 302,000 and FEL under the Supplementary Legal Aid Scheme SLAS from 1,451,900 to 1,509,980
在我就此發言前，我一定要藉此機會回應蔣議員的歪理。
Before I speak on this I must take this opportunity to respond to the sophistry of Dr CHIANG
第二，如果說，有人利用法庭來作為工具，那麼政府就是把法庭視為最大的工具，政府褫奪議員的資格......
Second if it is said that some people are using the Court as a tool then the Court is regarded by the Government as the most powerful tool . The Government is disqualifying Members from office
主席，我正論述法援制度。
I am discussing the legal aid system
至於利用法庭作為工具，這隨時是政府花費公帑的行為，主席......
As for using the Court as a tool this is just the Governments way of spending public money . President
我支持劉江華局長今次的議案。
I support the motion of Secretary LAU Kong - wah this time around
我贊同他做這事，但問題是，罪魁禍首不單是法援制度，而是司法制度被政府濫用，主席，這一定與法援有關，為甚麼會沒有關係？
I agree that he should go ahead with this proposal . However the question is the chief culprit is not only the legal aid system rather it is the judicial system being abused by the Government . President this certainly is related to legal aid
那些手無寸鐵的人如果面對官司，應如何是好？
Why are the two not related? . If defenceless people have to face legal proceedings what should they do?
所以，這制度需要保留，而提升這制度的財務資格限額......
Thus it is necessary to retain this system
原本並無問題，但剛才已多次提及，主席，增幅與市民所負擔的法律費用有龐大差距。
With regard to increasing FEL originally it is not an issue . However this has been mentioned a number of times . President there is a substantial difference between the rate of increase and the legal costs borne by the public
舉例來說，雖然限額已增加至302,000元，但若訴訟對手是政府，而政府全聘用英國大狀，那麼，這30萬元的金額，如何足夠負擔訟費？
For instance although the increase is adjusted to 302,000 if the opponent is the Government and the Government has hired British counsels to act for it then how can this amount of 300,000 be sufficient to bear the legal costs?
主席，如果政府要增加這項限額，就麻煩政府照鏡，看看政府如何利用法律制度，如何控告多位無辜的人士，令他們要與政府對簿公堂。
President if the Government wishes to increase this limit will it please look into the mirror and see how it has made use of the legal system to prosecute many innocent people forcing them to take the matter to Court against the Government
試問他們有多少資格可與政府對打？
Are they in the position to engage in direct confrontation with the Government?
主席，你也聽到，她在答問會上叫人們上法院，現在是政府走出來挑釁，說："我是做得不對，你若不喜歡的話，便向法院控告我吧。
She told people to go to the Court . The Government has now come forward to provoke saying What I did was wrong . If you do not like it you can institute prosecution against me at the Court
