據政府統計處發表的最新勞動人口統計數字，經季節性調整的失業率，在2020年1月至3月，上升至4.2%，是9年來的高位，就業不足率亦上升到2.1%的10年高位，總就業人數及勞動人口的按年跌幅分別擴大至3.6%及2.2%，兩者也是有紀錄以來的最大跌幅。
According to the latest labour force statistics released by the Census and Statistics Department the seasonally adjusted unemployed rate increased to 4.2 % between January and March 2020 which is the highest in nine years . The underemployed rate also increased to a decade high of 2.1 % . Both the year - on - year rate of decline in total employment and workforce widened to 3.6 % and 2.2 % respectively the biggest drops on record
建造業更是重災區，失業率及就業不足率分別急劇上升至8.5%及7.1%。
The construction industry is the hardest hit with the unemployment and underemployment rates surging to 8.5 % and 7.1 % respectively
過去大半年，一些暴力示威者多番揚言要"攬炒"，但我們首先看到的，便是不少"打工仔"被解僱。
In the better half of last year some violent protesters threatened with mutual destruction repeatedly but what we see is wage earners being laid off
正如我多次向特區政府強調，近幾年在立法會"拉布"的情況下，批撥款項予工務工程的速度相當緩慢。
As I have repeatedly emphasized to the SAR Government the approval of public works funding has been sluggish in recent years due to filibustering in the Legislative Council
過去大半年的社會動亂，加上如今疫情影響，可謂雪上加霜，建造業界正面臨工作鏈、供應鏈及資金鏈斷裂三大營運風險，因 此，當局在適時加碼紓困外，更應注重如何在疫情受控的情況下，盡快讓社會恢復正常運作、聚焦發展經濟及改善民生，才是治本之道。
The current novel coronavirus outbreak is only making things worse after the social turmoil that lasted for a greater part of last year . The construction sector is facing the interruption of three chains work chain supply chain and capital chain . Hence in addition to providing timely enhanced relief measures the authorities should concentrate more on how to restore societys normal functioning in an expeditious manner when the epidemic has been brought under control focusing on economic development and improving peoples livelihoods
以香港情況而言，其中一個立竿見影的辦法，是由社會各界致力促成財委會盡快審批各項已列入議程的工務工程。
That is the way to tackle the problem at root . In the case of Hong Kong an instant fix is to engage all sectors in the community in urging the Finance Committee FC to approve expeditiously the public works projects that are already on the agenda
受反對派議員"拉布"影響，上一個立法年度，工務小組委員會通過審議提交的工程建議，一共1,402億元，但財委會未及批款的則超過750億元。
Owing to filibustering by Members of the opposition camp out of the 140.2 billion proposed works approved by the Public Works Subcommittee in the last legislative session more than 75 billion are still awaiting approval by FC
今年度財委會復會以來，批准了其中大約549億元，其餘仍然有待處理。
After FC resumed its meetings this year it has only approved about 54.9 billion the remaining amount is still pending for approval
工務小組委員會自本立法年度運作至今，通過的新工程項目共須撥款約207億元，其中只有84億元獲得財委會撥款，而225億元的基本工程儲備基金的整體撥款，涵蓋1萬多項不同的政府工務工程。
Since the beginning of the current legislative session the Public Works Subcommittee has approved new works projects costing around 20.7 billion among which only 8.4 billion has been approved by FC . The Capital Works Reserve Fund Block allocations of 22.5 billion will be spent on more than 10 000 public works projects
工務小組委員會經過3次會議，包括在2月26日抗疫期間，議員戴上口罩開會亦未能完成審議。
The Public Works Subcommittee was unable to complete the scrutiny of the projects after three meetings one of which was held on 26 February during the epidemic with Members wearing face masks
在亟需撥款的緊急情況下，當局唯有直接交由財委會審議，最後在3月11日通過撥款。
Given the urgent demand for funding the Administration had no choice but to submit the projects directly to FC for consideration . The funding was fnally approved on 11 March
如果反對派議員停止"拉布"，讓超過1,000億元的工務工程撥款，能盡快獲財委會審批通過，不單可以為建造業界注射救命的強心針，而且對社會民生的貢獻至為廣泛，不但涉及土地及房屋供應，亦涵蓋交通運輸、醫療衞生、社會福利、教育及保安等服務的改善。
If opposition Members stop filibustering FC can expeditiously approve funding for works projects worth more than 100 billion . These projects will not only be a shot in the arm for the construction sector but will also bring improvements to various facets of peoples livelihood including land and housing supply as well as services such as transport health care social welfare education and security
主席，當經濟下行時，不少國家和地區均透過加大基建投資，既是撐經濟，亦是為未來發展鋪路，所以特區政府在推動工程方面應更加靈活，其一，應加快重建舊屋村，撐就業兼紓樓荒。
President when there is an economic downturn many governments will increase investments in public infrastructure to boost the economy and pave the way for recovery . Therefore the SAR Government should be more flexible in implementing works projects . First it should speed up the redevelopment of old housing estates as a way of generating jobs opportunities and reducing housing shortage
根據政府10年建屋計劃，資助房屋的建屋數量仍有29,000伙未有着落，政府未來可以透過重建高齡房屋屋邨，例如石硤尾邨，以增加單位供應量，但政府態度過於保守。
Based on the Governments 10 - year Public Housing Programme there is still a shortage of 29 000 units from the production target of subsidized housing flats . In order to increase flat supply the Government can rebuild old public housing projects such as Shek Kip Mei Estate in the future . However the Government has been too conservative
我擔心在新冠肺炎的疫情下，不少基層"打工仔"手停口停，對資助房屋的需求將會有增無減，恐怕令公共租住房屋供應更加緊張。
I am worried that under the novel coronavirus epidemic many wage earners have to live from hand to mouth and the demand for subsidized housing will be driven up thus aggravating the already tight supply of public rental housing
加快重建高齡公屋屋邨，既可提供更多新的住屋單位，亦可創造更多就業機會，確是多贏的方案。
Expediting the redevelopment of old housing estates is a multiple - win solution that will boost housing supply and create employment opportunities
其次，政府應加快落實新鐵路項目。
Second the Government should accelerate the implementation of new railway projects
政府在2014年公布《鐵路發展策略2014》，提出發展7條新鐵路線，本來目標在2031年前完成，可惜拖延了6年，直到本月7日才宣布啟動東涌綫延綫項目，已邀請香港鐵路有限公司開展詳細規劃及設計。
The Governments Railway Development Strategy 2014 announced in 2014 had set out seven new railway projects to be completed by 2031 yet it was not until six years later that the commencement of the Tung Chung Line Extension project was announced on 7 this month and MTR Corporation Limited was invited to proceed with detailed planning and design
雖然遲做總勝於全部不做，但審時度勢，擬議中的新鐵路項目理應追落後，既可保就業，亦可帶動社區新發展。
Though it is better late than never given the current situation and circumstances we should play catch - up on the proposed new railway project in order to stabilize jobs and encourage new community growth
主席，香港過去依靠廣大市民努力耕耘，累積了數以萬億計的財政儲備，但經過新冠肺炎疫情的衝擊，本年度財政赤字已接近 3,000億元，我相信已能讓大家知悉，如果我們不設法開源節流，便很容易"坐食山崩"。
President Hong Kong has accumulated several hundred billions of fiscal reserves through the hard work of its people . However since being hit by the novel coronavirus outbreak this years fiscal deficit has risen to nearly 300 billion . I am sure we are all aware that unless we explore ways to cut cost and increase income our reserves can easily be depleted
因此，長遠而言，我們要着眼於探討如何優化香港產業結構，提升香港整體競爭力，促進區域合作，讓香港企業及人才可以有更廣闊的發展空間。
Hence in the long run we must identify ways to enhance our industrial structure boost our overall competitiveness and promote regional cooperation thereby providing wider horizons of development for enterprises and talents in Hong Kong
在疫情受控後，社會各界必須盡快集思廣益，展開探討。
Once the epidemic has subsided all sectors of the community must come together to commence discussion
主席，香港正面對史無前例的挑戰及經濟困境，今屆立法會在終止運作前，只餘下約3個多月，我衷心期待並呼籲本會議員同事以香港整體利益為依歸，盡快放下歧見，停止無謂的爭拗，讓議會恢復有效的運作。
President Hong Kong is in the midst of unprecedented challenges and economic hardship . With about three months to go before prorogation of the Council I sincerely hope and urge that Members can act in the best interest of the whole community expeditiously put aside their disagreement stop their pointless argument and enable the Council to function effectively
有反對派議員揚言，不怕財政懸崖，擺脫財政綁架，更指香港人要有跳下懸崖的勇氣。
Some opposition Members said that people should not fear the fiscal cliff and they must free themselves from fiscal kidnapping . Those Members have even said that Hong Kong people must have the courage to jump off the fiscal cliff
我要斬釘截鐵地指出，香港市民是不願意跳崖的，香港市民希望議員為民生做實事，讓香港社會持續發展，市民安居樂業，亦要為新一代創作向上流動的機遇。
I must state categorically that the people of Hong Kong do not want to jump off the cliff . The people of Hong Kong expect Members to do concrete things for peoples livelihood . As such Hong Kong can develop sustainably people can live and work in contentment and opportunities for upward mobility can be created for the new generation
主席，我今天發言全力支持財政司司長陳茂波"撐企業、保就業、紓民困"的財政預算案，理由十分簡單，就是當我們面對疫情，經濟民生受到嚴重打擊，司長敢於"開倉派米"，讓所有市民受惠。
President I speak today to express my full support for the Budget of Financial Secretary Paul CHAN to support enterprises safeguard jobs and relieve peoples burden . My reason is very simple . When our economy and peoples livelihood are hard hit by the epidemic the Financial Secretary has acted boldly by providing relief measures to benefit all members of the public
司長而更推出一個高達1,391億元的赤字預算，當中用於抗疫的款額就佔1,200億元，直接惠及廣大的勞工階層。
The Financial Secretary has even proposed a Budget with a high deficit of 139.1 billion among which 120 billion will be spent on anti - epidemic initiatives benefiting the general working class directly
我認為這是有魄力、有承擔及有遠見的表現，值得一讚。
I have to commend the Financial Secretary for his boldness commitment and vision
面對空前的疫情，不少行業的營業收入急劇下跌七八成，甚至直插谷底，生存空間受到重大挑戰，成千上萬僱員受害。
In face of the unprecedented epidemic the business revenues of many industries have dropped sharply by some 70 % to 80 % and even reaching the rock bottom . The room for survival is challenged significantly affecting tens of thousands of employees
公司倒閉，僱員"飯碗"不保，最新的失業率已達到4.2%。
With companies closing down employees lost their jobs . The latest unemployment rate has reached 4.2 %
如果司長仍然不肯"放 水"，企業就會如火燒連環船，接連倒閉，這只會令香港疫後的重建經濟工作難上加難。
If the Financial Secretary still refuses to offer reliefs enterprises will fall like dominoes closing down one after another making the post - epidemic recovery of the Hong Kong economy even more difficult
故此，挺經濟必須挺企業，這樣才能保住就業。
Therefore supporting enterprises is essential in supporting the economy and in turn safeguarding jobs
我相信，"財爺"推出的中小企業百分百擔保借貸的計劃正好可以避免企業出現倒閉潮，從而保住員工"飯碗"。
I believe that the 100 % loan guarantee scheme for small and medium enterprises launched by the Financial Secretary can avoid the massive closure of enterprises thereby safeguarding employees jobs
此外，預算案中最受歡迎的措施當然是人人受惠的現金1萬元補助。
The most welcomed initiative in the Budget is definitely the cash subsidy of 10,000 that benefits all people
受到疫情影響，市民都感到十分彷徨，希望這筆應急錢能夠早點發放，並期望有關申請手續能盡量簡便，快捷到位，7月份便可以開始派發。
Under the impact of the epidemic members of the public are very anxious and hope that the contingency money can be disbursed earlier . Also they expect that the relevant application procedures can be as simple and convenient as possible such that the money can be swiftly disbursed in July
為了應對今次疫情，預算案有退稅和免差餉安排，並推出大量就業和培訓計劃，鼓勵僱主聘用老、中、青等各年齡層的員工，提升再培訓學員津貼，受惠員工數以萬計，對多個受災行業給予直接支援，這些都大大有利於拯救企業和保就業。
In order to cope with this epidemic the Budget has made arrangements on tax refund and rates waiver rolled out a number of employment and training programmes to encourage employers to hire staff of various ages and increased the allowance for retrainees benefiting tens of thousands of employees . In addition direct support is rendered to a number of affected industries . All these measures are greatly conducive to saving enterprises and safeguarding jobs
兩輪防疫抗疫基金及預算案紓困措施共動用約3,000億元，佔本地生產總值超過一成，因而引起信貸評級公司下調香港的評級。
Two rounds of the Anti - epidemic Fund and the relief measures in the Budget will amount to some 300 billion accounting for more than 10 % of the Gross Domestic Product . Consequently the credit rating agencies has downgraded Hong Kongs rating
我相信，這只是短暫的影響，因為疫情總有一天會結束。
I believe this is only a short - term impact because the epidemic will be over someday
如果今天能保企業、穩就業，將會為明日經濟復蘇打下堅實的基礎。
If we can protect enterprises and safeguard jobs today it will lay a solid foundation for economic recovery tomorrow
疫情過後，香港作為金融中心仍然要繼續發展，所以我贊成司長在預算案中提到的要加強與內地金融合作的發展方向。
They can be called the financial desert . When the epidemic is over Hong Kong as a financial centre still has to continue with its development . Hence I agree that strengthening financial cooperation with the Mainland should be the direction for development as proposed by the Financial Secretary in the Budget
除了要盡快推行理財新思維，我認為更要推行ETF通，債券南向通、新股通、商品通，以及衍生產品通等。
Apart from taking forward expeditiously the new fiscal philosophy we also have to launch the Exchange Traded Fund ETF Connect Southbound Trading of Bond Connect Primary Equity Connect Commodities Connect and the market connectivity for derivatives etc
甚至可以用創新模式作先行先試，盡量滿足大灣區居民迅速增長的理財服務需求。
We can even make use of the innovative mode for early and pilot implementation so as to meet as far as possible the rapidly growing demand in financial management services amongst residents in the Greater Bay Area
同時，我們應該積極爭取中概股來香港作第二上市，以便盡快可以列入互聯互通交易名單內。
In the meantime we should proactively arrange Chinese concept stocks to seek a secondary listing in Hong Kong so as to facilitate their inclusion in the mutual market access scheme as soon as possible
這樣做可以令中概股多了一道活門，讓內地投資者可以投資更多優質股份，令香港金融中心地位更加穩固。
By doing so we will open another door to Chinese concept stocks and allow Mainland investors to invest in more quality stocks thereby reinforcing Hong Kongs status as a financial centre . This is precisely killing several birds with one stone
這正是"一箭多鵰"，因此我希望政府加把勁，努力遊說內地政府互相配合。
Hence I hope the Government can put in more efforts to lobby the Mainland Government to work in coordination
雖然今年的疫情重挫香港實體經濟，但香港金融市場即使有大波動，也沒有大震動。
Though the epidemic this year has dealt a heavy blow to Hong Kongs real economy the financial market of Hong Kong has not been shattered despite huge fluctuations
市場的交易運作正常，基金流向也非常暢順有序， 聯繫匯率非常穩定，正正顯示香港作為國家金融中心的最大優勢。
Transactions in the market operate normally fund flows are orderly and the Linked Exchange Rate is very stable . All these indicate Hong Kongs greatest edges in being the financial centre of the State
香港要充分表現出現有的優勢，為疫情後的重新出發及早規劃，讓香港的經濟能夠持續發展。
Hong Kong has to fully demonstrate its existing edges and make early planning to start anew after the epidemic so as to attain the sustainable development of the economy
為了提高香港金融市場的競爭力，司長決定在參與發行及贖回ETF單位的過程中，寬免在港上市的ETF的莊家的股票買賣印花稅。
In order to strengthen the competitiveness of our financial market the Financial Secretary has decided to waive the stamp duty on stock transfers paid by ETF market makers in the course of creating and redeeming ETF units listed in Hong Kong
我認為這是非常實惠的政策，可促進交易所買賣基金市場的蓬勃發展。
I think this policy offers substantial benefits to promote the vibrant development of the ETF market
與此同時，我建議當局可以考慮將莊家制擴展至細價股或創業板，以促進股份的交易，讓散戶也有機會沽貨，而不至於陷入買入後未能套現的局面。
At the same time the authorities should consider extending the market - making system to penny stocks and the Growth Enterprise Market to promote the trading of stocks so that retail investors will also have the chance to sell their stocks instead of not being able to encash after buying in
這對於穩定金融市場有好處。
This is conducive to stabilizing the financial market
主席，司長的預算案演辭第51段提及："我們會繼續做好促進者和監管者角色，在鞏固優勢及發展市場的同時，確保監管框架與時並進、有效管控系統性風險，保障投資者"。
President in paragraph 51 of the Budget speech the Financial Secretary mentions that We will continue to fulfil the dual roles of facilitator and regulator . While consolidating our strengths and developing the market we will ensure that our regulatory framework can keep pace with the times manage systemic risks effectively and provide protection for investors
雖然英國監管當局要求銀行保存充裕的流動資金應付疫情的做法可以理解，但不合理的是滙豐銀行宣布派息及除淨後突然撤回派息。
While we can understand that the regulatory authority in the United Kingdom requires banks to have sufficient liquidity to cope with the epidemic it is unreasonable for HSBC to suddenly revoke after the ex - dividend date its previous decision to pay dividend
這不但出爾反爾，更是言而無信，亦是赤裸裸地損害股民的合法權益，做法如同金融大騙局。
HSBC has not only gone back on its words but also blatantly undermined the legitimate rights and interests of shareholders which is tantamount to a big financial scam
在滙豐銀行取消派息後，英國政府指導該銀行將內部資金以無息借貸予英國企業，做法無視香港滙豐銀行是最大的盈利貢獻者，簡直是"賊仔打劫"，拿香港的錢接濟英國的企業，實在令人無法接受及憤怒。
After HSBC halted the dividend payment the United Kingdom Government directed the bank to use its internal capital to offer interest - free loans to British enterprises . Such a practice has ignored the fact that HSBC Hong Kong is the largest contributor of profits to the group . The act of robbing Hong Kong to subsidize British enterprises is indeed unacceptable and infuriating
他們是老實的投資者，並非想一朝發達，只是想通過正常投資換取合理的回報。
They are honest investors who do not think of getting rich overnight they just want to get reasonable return via their normal investment
如今滙豐銀行突然反悔，取消派息，不單令投資者財息雙失，更令不少依靠滙豐銀行派息維持生計的退休人士生活無以為繼......
Given that HSBC has suddenly reneged on its promise and cancelled the dividend payment investors will suffer double losses in respect of capital and dividend and many retired persons who live on HSBC dividend may lost their means of living
主席，對於滙豐銀行高層一句"深感抱歉"或"表示同情"便作罷，我希望政府和證券及期貨事務監察委員會為香港小投資者發聲，討回公道。最後，我想指出，我們面對的前景仍然非常嚴峻，甚至內外交戰；一方面疫情未完全受控，經濟受壓，加上去年年中以來，反修例風波重挫香港，令經濟出現近年罕見的負增長。
President given that the senior management of HSBC ended the matter by just saying deeply sorry or express sympathy I hope the Government and the Securities and Futures Commission will speak out for the small investors in Hong Kong and claim justice Lastly I want to point out that our prospect is still bleak suffering from internal and external setbacks . On the one hand the epidemic is not yet fully under control and the economy is under pressure; on the other hand the disturbances arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments since the middle of last year have dealt a heavy blow to Hong Kong resulting in a negative economic growth that is rarely seen in recent years
社會的傷口未痊癒，再加上最近突如其來的疫情夾擊，令香港的經濟雪上加霜。
While the wounds of society are yet to be healed the sudden onset of the recent epidemic has added to the misfortunes of our economy
我們在全球金融中心的排名跌至落後於東京、上海和新加坡，加上中美兩國關係陰晴不定，均對香港帶來不少的挑戰。
Our ranking as a global financial centre has fallen behind Tokyo Shanghai and Singapore; and the unsettling Sino - United States relationship has brought many challenges to Hong Kong
故此，日後重建經濟的工作將十分艱辛。
Therefore the task of economic reconstruction in future will be very tough
我期望司長屆時能夠推出更具遠見、更具魄力和更具前瞻性的重振經濟措施，要妥善發揮香港背靠祖國、面向國際的優勢；再加上特區政府的新團隊為市民帶來新景象，讓全港市民認清"一國兩制"的優勢，背靠祖國的好處，拒絕"攬炒"，上下一心，致力維護社會的穩定，才能令香港在疫後盡快見新天。
I hope that the Financial Secretary will put forward more farsighted dynamic and forward - looking measures to revive the economy and give full play to Hong Kongs advantage of having the Mainland as our hinterland while maintaining an international outlook . Moreover the new governing team of the SAR Government should paint a new picture for members of the public making them aware of the advantages of one country two systems and the benefits of leveraging the Mainland thereby refusing to burn together and committed to working in concerted effort to maintain social stability . Only in this way can Hong Kong see a bright future as soon as possible when the epidemic is over
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持早日通過預算案。
With these remarks President I support the early passage of the Budget
主席，香港經濟受社會暴亂及新冠肺炎雙重夾擊，經濟如雪崩下滑，百業重創，市民生活陷入困境。
President Hong Kongs economy after being dealt double blows by social riots and the novel coronavirus pneumonia has collapsed . Hundreds of industries have been severely affected and people are living in difficult circumstances
在這個艱難時期，財政司司長有必要急市民所急，運用公共財政手段，提振疲弱的經濟，藉此保就業、穩定社會。
During this difficult period the Financial Secretary needs to address the publics pressing needs and adopt public financial measures to boost the weak economy so as to safeguard jobs and stabilize society
在這個背景下，民建聯認為這份財政預算案回應了民意，有助社會抗疫救急，共渡時艱。
Against this background the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB believes that this Budget has responded to public opinion and has provided assistance to the community to fight the epidemic and support the needy so as to tide over the difficulties together
首先，政府史無前例地大手筆推出一系列紓困措施，包括向18歲或以上永久性居民發放1萬元現金，以及多項"撐企業，保就業"措施。
First of all the Government has unprecedentedly launched a series of generous relief measures such as disbursing 10,000 to permanent residents aged 18 or above and introducing a number of measures to support enterprises and safeguard jobs
此外，預算案亦回應了民建聯提出的多項訴求和建議，除了派發1萬元抗疫津貼外，還寬免薪俸稅、利得稅和差餉；發放額外1個月綜援、高齡津貼、長者生活津貼、傷殘津貼及鼓勵就業交通津貼；向公屋住戶提供免租，以及豁免DSE考試費。
The Budget has also responded to various appeals and suggestions made by DAB . Apart from providing 10,000 anti - epidemic allowance other measures include reducing salaries tax and profits tax and waiving rates; providing an extra one month Comprehensive Social Security Assistance CSSA payment Old Age Allowance Old Age Living Allowance Disability Allowance and Work Incentive Transport Subsidy; paying one months rent for public rental housing tenants and paying the examination fees for school candidates sitting for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination
在"撐企業"方面，政府向企業提供百分百擔保特惠貸款，又寬免商業登記費、商業電費、水費和排污費4個月，以及寬免政府物業場地租金6個月。
In respect of supporting enterprises the Government provides Special 100 % Loan Guarantee to enterprises and waives business registration fees electricity water and sewage charges payable by non - domestic households for four months as well as reduces rental for tenants of government properties for six months
上述措施都有助企業和市民捱過艱難時期，因此民建聯支持預算案。
Since all these measures will help enterprises and the public tide over this difficult period DAB supports the Budget
主席，雖然預算案及多輪紓困措施的方向正確，但這並不表示所提出的方案完美，其實還有很多改善空間。
President although the direction of the Budget and various rounds of relief measures is correct it does not mean that the proposals are perfect as there is still much room for improvement
我們面對的現實情況是，暴亂加上疫症令香港經濟傷上加傷，不少市民叫苦連天，亟需政府提 供緊急援助。
The reality is that riots and the epidemic have hit our economy even harder many people are in great distress and they urgently need the Governments emergency assistance
雖然政府已推出多輪紓困措施，但我們的辦事處每天都收到基層市民來電，表示他們面臨失業，很可能手停口停。
Even though the Government has launched a few rounds of relief measures our office still receives calls from the grass roots each day saying that they are unemployed and may likely be unable to feed their family
他們指出，政府現時的措施不是過於緩慢，便是有遺漏，未能直接向他們提供支援。
They pointed out that the government measures have come too slow and there are omissions failing to provide direct assistance to them
所以，我再次敦促及懇請特區政府、特首、司長及局長，請繼續謙卑聆聽市民的聲音，不要因為已經推出多輪措施，也不要礙於行政上的框條而忘記應該幫助真正需要幫助的市民。
Therefore I once again urge and implore the SAR Government the Chief Executive Secretaries of Departments and Directors of Bureaux to continue to listen humbly to the voices of the public . Even though a few rounds of relief measures have been introduced they should not be complacent and should not be bound by administrative rules to stop helping people who are really in need
主席，由於時間緊張，我想集中提出3點：第一，我認為司長"派錢"的方法，未能做到急市民所急。
President due to time constraints I would like to focus on three points . First I think the Financial Secretarys approach to disburse cash fails to address peoples pressing needs
預算案回應社會訴求，宣布派發1萬元當然是好事，但究竟何時才能收到這筆救命錢，是同樣關鍵的事宜。
While it is commendable that the Budget has responded to social demands and announced the disbursement of 10,000 an equally important issue is when the people will receive this sum of life - saving money
不少市民會用這筆錢來"開飯"或應急，但按照政府現時的說法，預計在6月進行登記、7月開始"派錢"，對於不少深受疫情打擊的人士，現時的生活已經相當艱難，這種"派錢"進度太慢。
A lot of people will rely on the money for food or to meet emergency needs . However according to the Government it is expected that registration will begin in June and the money will be disbursed in July . For a large number of people who have been hit hard by the epidemic life is already very difficult and the progress of disbursing cash is far too slow
所以，我們多次敦促政府盡快"派錢"，程序亦要簡化，包括考慮利用現有的津貼發放機制加速"派錢"流程。
Therefore we have repeatedly urged the Government to disburse cash as soon as possible and the procedures should be simplified . For example the Government can consider using the existing mechanism for subsidy payment to speed up the cash payout process
具體而言，我們已多次指出，社署擁有很多戶口，因為有些市民可能正在領取高齡津貼、長者生活津貼、傷殘津貼或綜援學生津貼等，甚至可能是早前關愛共享計劃的受惠者，所以政府已經掌握他們的戶口資料。
Specifically we have repeatedly pointed out that the Social Welfare Department has information on the accounts of people who receive Old Age Allowance Old Age Living Allowance Disability Allowance or grants for CSSA students etc . The Department has also the information of the beneficiaries under the Caring and Sharing Scheme
