除了本地就業市場外，青年人亦可以早着先機，把眼光投放於有7,000萬人口的粵港澳大灣區發展。
Apart from the local job market young people may also act swiftly to grasp the opportunity and set their eyes on the development in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area with a population of 70 million
正如財政司司長上月發表的財政預算案提到，大灣區是香港參與國家經濟內循環的最佳切入點，無論是金融服務、互聯互通、科技創新、協同合作，以至是市民在大灣區內生活便利及安居置業，均需要在制度和政策上不斷創新。
As mentioned in the Budget by the Financial Secretary last month the Greater Bay Area is the best entry point for Hong Kong to participate in the domestic circulation of our countrys economy be it for the mutual market access for financial services and products cooperation and collaboration in respect of innovation and technology or peoples stay and living in the Greater Bay Area
由此可見，大灣區發展機遇龐大，港商及青年人應不失時機，踏出第一步。
It is evident that there are enormous opportunities for development in the Greater Bay Area businessmen and young people of Hong Kong should grasp the opportunity to take the first step
因此，我支持梁美芬議員的修正案，特別是提出加強支援本地居民，以及專業服務人才到大灣區就業和創業，以進一步擴大失業及就業不足人士的發展空間。
Hence I support Dr Priscilla LEUNGs amendment particularly the proposal to strengthen support for local residents and professional service personnel in employment and entrepreneurship in the Greater Bay Area with a view to further expanding the room for development of the unemployed and underemployed
我亦希望大家向有意創業的青年人提供多些方便，包括於租用地方時提供多些彈性。
I also hope that more convenience will be provided for young people who wish to start their own businesses including providing more flexibility in renting premises
此外，粵港澳健康碼互認制度亦應盡快實施，以便在符合防疫要求的前提下，恢復三地經濟及人員互動，從而激活香港經濟，創造更多就業機會。
Moreover the mutual recognition system for health codes of Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao should be implemented as soon as possible so that economic and personnel interactions among the three places can resume on the premise of meeting the infection control requirements thereby boosting the Hong Kong economy and creating more employment opportunities
主席，全國人民代表大會會議日前通過關於完善香港選舉制度的決定，香港的政治問題終於得到解決。
President the National Peoples Congress passed the decision on improving the electoral system of Hong Kong at its meeting recently . Hong Kongs political problems can finally be resolved
但香港要做到社會安定、市民富足，仍有很多深層次的問題需要解決，其中房屋供應肯定是深層次問題的第一位。
But for Hong Kong to achieve social stability and prosperity for its people many deep - rooted problems remain to be solved and among them housing supply definitely topped the list of such deep - rooted problems
謝偉俊議員今天提出"研究修訂《保護海港條例》及落實觀塘避風塘填海工程"的議案。
Mr Paul TSE has proposed the motion on Examining the amendment of the Protection of the Harbour Ordinance and implementing the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter reclamation works
其實這項議案來得很合時，我們可以研究觀塘避風塘填海計劃，甚至可以討論一下連帶的土地供應問題，以期引起社會關注，凝聚共識。
Indeed this motion is very timely . We can study the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter reclamation project and even discuss the associated land supply issue with a view to arousing awareness in society and forging consensus
老實說，香港的居住問題已是"火燒埋身"，而過去10多年，立法會在"攬炒"政治的操作下，重大的民生問題根本沒有機會得到解決。
Frankly speaking Hong Kong is already knee - deep in the housing problem . And over the past 10 years or so the Legislative Council amidst the political manoeuvre of mutual destruction major livelihood issues had absolutely no chance to be resolved
我們今天撥亂反正，立法會需要重回正軌，全力認真地解決民生問題。
Today we dispel the chaos and restore the order . The Legislative Council needs to get back on the right track to make all - out and serious efforts to resolve livelihood issues
我支持謝偉俊議員今天提出的議案，我相信《保護海港條例》雖然有存在的必要，但亦不是鐵板一塊。
I support the motion proposed by Mr Paul TSE today . I believe the Ordinance is necessary but it is not set in stone
事實上，根據有關團體的研究，觀塘避風塘填海計劃可提供85公頃用地，興建7萬個住宅單位，而工程時間亦十分短，對水質的影響不大，所以填海的好處是多於壞處。
As a matter of fact according to the study by a relevant organization the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter reclamation project can provide 85 hectares of land for the construction of 70 000 housing units . Also the construction period is very short and there will not be any significant impact on the water quality so the merits of reclamation outweigh the demerits
此外，增加土地供應可用作興建公屋、居屋及港人首次置業單位，協助輪候公屋的市民盡快"上樓"，讓年青人購買自置居所。
Moreover the increased land supply can be used for the construction of public housing Home Ownership Scheme HOS flats and flats under the Starter Homes for Hong Kong Residents SH programme to help people waitlisted for public housing to attain home ownership as soon as possible and enable young people to purchase their own homes
此外，我亦同意填海計劃雖然重要，但同時亦要關注海上作業者的需要，因此有需要另覓一幅土地興建新的避風塘，提供足夠的泊位，保障海上作業者的安全。
In addition I also agree that while reclamation projects are important the needs of maritime operators must also be taken into consideration at the same time . Thus it is necessary to identify another site for the construction of a new typhoon shelter to provide sufficient berthing spaces to protect the safety of maritime operators
我明白這項計劃會有一定的難度，但如果政府有決心解決本港的深層次問題，便應拿出魄力，認真研究是否行得通，如是便應該盡快做。
I understand that such a project will entail considerable difficulties but if the Government is determined to resolve the deep - rooted problems of Hong Kong it should devote its strength and energy to seriously examine whether it is feasible and if so it should be done as soon as possible
若要長遠解決香港居住問題，仍然要依靠"明日大嶼"，以及優化和善用現有土地。
To solve the housing problem in Hong Kong in the long run we still have to rely on the Lantau Tomorrow Vision and the optimization and good use of the existing land sites
之前，反對派認為"明日大嶼"會令土地供應過剩，這根本是"攞嚟講"。
Previously the opposition camp argued that the Lantau Tomorrow Vision would result in an oversupply of land . They were just speaking gibberish
即使我們採納觀塘避風塘填海計劃，我們仍需要"明日大嶼"，因為香港要維持國際大都會的地位，便必須要有土地供居住及發展之用，否則香港的發展便受到局限。
Even if the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter reclamation project is adopted we still need the Lantau Tomorrow Vision because if Hong Kong is to maintain its position as an international metropolis there must be land for housing and development otherwise Hong Kongs development will be constrained
事實上，政府在20年前因為樓價下跌而暫停造地計劃，其後遲遲未恢復，結果今天便因而承受無窮的苦果，證明造地計劃必須持續進行。
In fact 20 years ago the Government suspended land creation projects due to the fall in property prices and has not resumed them ever since resulting in the immeasurable repercussions being suffered today . It proves that land creation projects must be undertaken on an ongoing basis
而且，即使將來土地供應有"鬆動"，我們亦應該讓市民居住空間大一點，令市民可以生活得更好。
Moreover even if the supply of land will be eased off we should allow people to enjoy a bigger living space so that they can have a better life
香港居所狹窄，早已為人詬病，現在更有大量市民住在"劏房"或者"納米樓"，一家人要住在百多二百平方呎的單位內，其實絕對不健康。
The cramped living spaces in Hong Kong have long come under criticism . Now many people are living in subdivided units or nano flats where a family has to live in a unit of 100 or 200 sq ft . Indeed it is absolutely not healthy
主席，我已在多年前建議，香港應效法新加坡的房屋政策，即推動公營房屋發展，讓大多數市民租住或購買公營房屋。
President I suggested many years ago that Hong Kong should follow Singapores housing policy ie . promoting the development of public housing so that the majority of citizens can rent or purchase public housing
當然，香港有自己的情況，不可能完全照抄，例如私營房屋亦要不斷增加，但擴大公營房屋供應，滿足市民的需要特別是年輕人"上車"的需要這個模式是可行的。
Certainly Hong Kong has its own circumstances and it is impossible to make an exact copy . For example private housing has to be continuously increased . That said it is a viable model to supply more public housing in order to satisfy peoples needs―particularly young peoples need for home ownership
雖然政府沒有正式講明會效法新加坡，但近年來已採用多項措施，包括將七成土地用作公營房屋、推出綠表置居計劃、繼續推動居屋的興建及首置計劃等，正反映政府逐步朝這方向走。
Despite not having officially stated that the example of Singapore will be followed the Government has taken numerous measures in recent years including allocating 70 % of land for public housing introducing the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme continuing to promote the construction of HOS flats and SH projects which precisely reflect that the Government is pursing such a direction
我希望政府可以提供足夠的土地供應，以支援房屋政策逐步落實，在不久的將來，香港可以做到市民安居、人人有樓住，變相亦能解決部分貧富懸殊的問題。
I hope the Government can supply sufficient land to support the gradual implementation of the housing policy so that in the near future the people of Hong Kong can live in contentment and everyone has a home to live in . In a way the disparity between the rich and the poor can be partially addressed
坦白說，這是非常重要和及時的，正如剛才陳克勤議員說，這項議案絕對不是明日黃花，而是越來越及時。
Frankly speaking this is a very important and timely motion . Rightly as Mr CHAN Hak - kan has said just now this motion is definitely not obsolete but it has become even more timely
在剛過去的星期二，政府公布最新一季的失業率已經飆升至7.2%，是17年來的高位，是過去足足17年以來最高的數字。
Just last Tuesday the Government announced that the unemployment rate for the latest quarter had soared to 7.2 % hitting a record high in 17 years . That means it is the highest figure in the past 17 years
失業率由去年年初疫情開始時的3.4%，經過短短1年的時間已經達到7.2%；失業人數已達26萬人，是26萬人，他們是一個個人來的，多了14萬人失業。
The unemployment rate has risen from 3.4 % at the beginning of last year when the epidemic broke out to 7.2 % in merely one year and the number of people being unemployed has reached 260 000 . It is 260 000 they are individual people an additional of 140 000 people have become unemployed
這些絕對不是冷冰冰的數字，背後全部是水深火熱的家庭，每個都是有血有淚的故事。
These are definitely not cold figures only but behind them are many families in dire straits each with a story of blood and tears
有些人現在甚至要借貸度日，這亦導致很多家庭不和，甚至有些失業的男士不敢向家人坦白。
Some people even have to borrow money to make ends meet and this has also led to family discord . Some unemployed men even dare not confess to their families . The unemployed are those who lack the most support at present
剛才陳克勤議員已提到，失業大軍有26萬人，但領取綜援的有多少人？
Just now Mr CHAN Hak - kan has mentioned that more than 260 000 people are unemployed but how many of them are receiving CSSA?
數字是19,000人，即不足2萬人，佔不足7%，問題在哪裏呢？
The figure is 19 000 which is less than 20 000 people accounting for less than 7 % of the total . Where does the problem lie?
第二，希望局長也明白，他們的主觀意願並非源於我們是否對綜援有標籤，而是他們也認為綜援有負面的標籤，故此不願意申請，這是箇中的問題。
Second I hope the Secretary would also understand that their subjective wish does not originate from whether we have a stigma attached to CSSA but it is because they also think that CSSA has a negative stigma thus making them unwilling to apply . This is where the crux of the problem lies
所以，並不存在我們是否戴"有色眼鏡"。
Hence there is no such question as to whether we look at them through tinted glasses
但是，現時的覆蓋面以至力度是否足夠真正支援失業人士，是否真的可以"救近火"呢？
Yet is their existing coverage and strength sufficient to truly support the unemployed? . Can they really solve the imminent problems?
所以，無論在議會內外，不同黨派、不同界別人士都有一個共識，就是希望政府設立失業援助金，幫助這群水深火熱的失業人士。
Therefore there is a consensus among people from different political parties camps and sectors both inside and outside the legislature . We hope that the Government can establish an unemployment assistance to help this group of unemployed people being caught in dire straits
局長，我不想說你是鐵石心腸，但政府過去拒絕提供失業援助金的態度真的很堅決。
Secretary I do not want to describe you as hard - hearted but the Government has stood very firm in the past when refusing to provide an unemployment assistance
很多人說你是"靈感IQ稱得上十分之高超"，但你在語言方面則是"創作力量嚇了市民一跳"，甚至令人覺得局長是不吃人間煙火。
Many people say that you have marvellous inspirations and very high IQ scores but when it comes to language skills your creativity has sent a terrible shock to the public or it even makes people feel that the Secretary is somewhat detached from reality . I have read the blogs written by the Secretary every Sunday
局長每個星期日寫的網誌我也會閱讀，上次你提到失業率達到7%，說是季節性調整，又說失業率沒有惡化的跡象，亦有回穩的可能，並暗示拒絕設立失業援助金，是因為懷疑屆時是否真的只屬臨時措施。
You once mentioned that the unemployment rate had reached 7 % saying that it was a seasonal adjustment . You also said that the unemployment rate did not show any signs of deterioration and it might stabilize . You then hinted that you refused to establish an unemployment assistance because you doubted whether it would indeed be merely a temporary measure by then
這樣真的令大家很卻步，亦覺得局長是否明白現時市 民......試想一下，他們失去工作，在家中看電視時聽到你這番說話，他們會有何感受？
This really makes people step back and we also wonder whether the Secretary understands that members of the public are now Just imagine that they have lost their jobs how would they feel after hearing what you said when they are watching television at home?
又或者，可否不要把他們當成一些數字，或者好像是從學術的角度來研究宇宙大爆炸究竟是怎麼發生？
Or could you not treat them as some figures or in a way just like you are studying how the Big Bang took place from an academic perspective?
局長，要設立臨時失業援助金，我知道有很多細節，很複雜，當中亦有很多不同的概念，但我們也願意開放地討論。
Secretary I understand that a bunch of details will be involved in the establishment of unemployment assistance on a temporary basis and it will be very complicated as many different concepts will be entailed . Nevertheless we are also willing to discuss them with an open mind
局長可否提出建議，大家再商量如何以有時限的性質去做，真正確切地幫助市民，而又不會太複雜，使其簡單和容易明白呢？
Could the Secretary make some suggestions on which we can discuss how the measure can be implemented on a time - limited basis to truly help members of the public while making it not too complicated but simple and easy to understand?
在最後1分鐘時間，我想簡單說一個故事，是我最近想到的。
With one minute left I would like to tell a simple story which has recently come to my mind
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：陳克勤議員動議的議案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Mr CHAN Hak - kan be passed
代理主席，我樂見在今天的議會，大家就民生問題、規劃發展有不同的意見。
Deputy President I am pleased to see Members raising diverse viewpoints on livelihood issues planning and development in the legislature today
真理是越辯越明，所以不需要動氣，我們應該顯現更高的胸襟和更多大我的精神。
The more we debate the clearer the truth is so there is no need to get angry . We should demonstrate a broader mind and a greater sense of selflessness
代理主席，我希望我接下來的發言，局長也不要動氣。
Deputy President I hope that the Secretary will not get angry with my ensuing speech
在政府班子中，局長的IQ、能力被視為最高，但可能因此而拖累某些社福政策不夠"接地氣"。我一而再，再而三希望局長及其團隊可以打開心窗。
Among members of the Government the Secretary is considered to have the highest IQ and ability but this may result in certain social welfare policies not being that down - to - earth
我經常喜歡說官員應"活化腦袋"，無論多厲害的人在某些地方也會有盲點，所以希望局長真的要"接地氣"。
I have repeatedly asked the Secretary and his team to open their mind and I often say that officials should have a flexible mind . Regardless of how capable a person is he will still have a blind spot in certain respects . I therefore hope that the Secretary can truly be down - to - earth
我們提出的方案並不太過分，特別香港經濟民生聯盟並不太主張經常"派錢"，我亦知道局方獲得的撥款不太多，我們不會提出濫用公帑的方案。
Our proposal is not that excessive especially as the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong BPA does not very much agree with handing out cash frequently . I also know that the Bureau does not have too much funding and thus we will not put forward any proposal to abuse public money
其實，一定要局長的政策局提出撥款申請。
In fact the Secretarys Bureau must submit a funding request
現時疫情拖累大市，所以無論政府如何"派錢"，也無法解決重大的民生問題。
As the pandemic is taking a toll on the market in general no matter how much money the Government is going to hand out it cannot solve the major livelihood problems
在2008年，發生雷曼事件，當時的情況與現時一模一樣，我當時希望政府設立失業轉型貸款基金、失業轉型支援基金。
The situation nowadays is the same as that in 2008 when the Lehman Brothers incident took place . Back then I called on the Government to introduce a loan fund for occupation switching for the unemployed and a support fund for occupation switching for the unemployed
政府現時推出"特別․愛增值"計劃，主要支援基層，可惜卻沒有對於被迫提早退休、轉行、失業的人士提供支援。
The Government has so far introduced the Love Upgrading Special Scheme to mainly assist the grass roots but it has regrettably failed to provide any assistance to those who are forced to retire early or switch occupations or who are unemployed
在剩下來的時間，我想說說我的修正案的第六點。
In my remaining speaking time I will talk about point 6 of my amendment
我在第六點提到，希望政府可以增加公務員編制，包括專業職位，以及擴大僱員再培訓局的有關計劃。
As I have mentioned in point 6 I hope that the Government will beef up civil service establishment including professional posts and extend the relevant scheme of the Employees Retraining Board
我在此特別想對大家說，我們希望政府在各司局增加更多自己負責的公務員職位，而不是甚麼事情也外判。
I would like to specifically tell Members here that we hope the Government will increase the number of in - house civil service posts in the departments and bureaux instead of outsourcing all services
例如，日後有"明日大嶼願景"，又或是律政司最喜歡外判，甚至外判之後"食檸檬"，連英國也不准許David PERRY接受委任。
A case in point is the Lantau Tomorrow Vision to be implemented in the future . Or in another case the Department of Justice which prefers briefing out cases hit a snag when there was opposition from the United Kingdom to David PERRY taking his appointment
所以， 我希望政府要承擔這個責任，多聘請自己負責的職位，監督日後龐大的公共開支，包括律政司、"明日大嶼願景"甚至食物及衞生局等的相關支出，因為這些工種是要向市民負責的。
I therefore hope that the Government will shoulder the responsibility increase the number of in - house posts and oversee massive public spending in the future including the relevant spending of the Department of Justice the Lantau Tomorrow Vision and even the Food and Health Bureau . Those who hold these posts must be accountable to the public
基層方面，我一直支持計劃涵蓋建造業。現時建造業的工種很受歡迎。
As far as the grass roots are concerned I have all along supported the scheme to cover the construction industry of which the jobs are now very popular
"明日大嶼願景"要花數千億元，就已批出的5億元，有否屬於公務員體制下的專業人士，提供大家認為"有料到"的意見？
The Lantau Tomorrow Vision will cost hundreds of billions of dollars in total but for the 500 million already approved are there any professionals in the civil service who can provide us with any cogent viewpoints?
我不再談及勞工及福利，我只希望局長就失業轉型方面提供一些意見，向財政司司長多申請撥款。
I will not further speak on labour and welfare . I only hope that the Secretary will offer his viewpoints on occupation switching and seek more funding from the Financial Secretary
除了失業轉型貸款，亦應設立失業轉型支援基金。
Apart from a loan fund for occupation switching for the unemployed a support fund for occupation switching for the unemployed should also be introduced
我們亦剛剛有了全國人大的決議，是關於選舉條例的修訂，我相信，這個方向除了要解決一些所謂"攬炒"、破壞議會運作的力量之外，正正就是要提高議會的議政質素，以及政府的管治質素。
We have also got the decision of the National Peoples Congress earlier on which is related to the amendment of the electoral legislations . I believe that apart from tackling some forces seeking the so - called mutual destruction and obstruction to the operation of the legislature our direction is precisely to enhance the quality of discussion on politics in the legislature and the quality of governance of the Government
更高的方向就是我們議政論政時，大家都應該超越自己的選區、自己的功能界別，要以全港性的思維甚至加上國家發展的視野。
As a higher aim we should go beyond the geographical constituencies and functional constituencies that we represent when we discussed politics . We should adopt a territory - wide mindset and even have a vision for the development of the country
主席，我過往曾就民生的議題，在立法會提出8項議案，當中7項得到反對派議員基本上同意，是一致通過的。
President among the eight motions on livelihood issues that I proposed in the Legislative Council in the past seven of them were agreed in general by Members of the opposition camp and were passed unanimously
除了法律的問題外，我對於城市規劃、海濱水質、舊區重建等事宜也有特別的感情，所以，今天謝偉俊議員提到東九龍的填海問題，特別是關於應否研究檢討《保護海港條例》，我便立即想起我們九龍東及九龍西就是親兄弟。
Besides legal issues I also have some special feelings about issues such as urban planning water quality at the harbourfront and redevelopment of old districts . Therefore when Mr Paul TSE mentioned the issue of reclamation in Kowloon East especially about whether a review of the Protection of the Harbour Ordinance should be conducted I immediately thought of the brotherhood of Kowloon East and Kowloon West
我記得，當時我們提到打造新西九，一定不能遺漏了啟德，而當時啟德仍未劃入九龍西。
I remember that Kai Tak was never missed out when we talked about Building a New West Kowloon . Back then Kai Tak has not yet become a part of Kowloon West
在九龍東及九龍西，我記得各位議員以往都是一心希望有一個連綿不斷的海濱，這個構思後來亦延伸至灣仔，而該區落實各項的主題社區，比我們九龍西及九龍東更早。
As regards Kowloon East and Kowloon West I remember that in the past fellow Members all along wished that we could have a continuous harbourfront . Such a concept has also been extended to Wan Chai later on where various thematic communities have been implemented earlier than our Kowloon West and Kowloon East
我樂見這種發展，亦樂見花了10年的努力，政府終於接受了"先易後難"的概念。
I am glad to see this kind of development and I am also happy to see that after 10 years of hard work the Government has finally accepted the concept of resolving the simple issues before the difficult ones
今天，我們要研究土地發展，特別是啟德區，我們如何去看這個問題呢？
Today we are going to examine land development especially the Kai Tak Area . How should we look at this issue?
如果我們看看內地，我不知大家是否知道，內地有一個花名叫做"基建狂魔"，是因為外國人看到內地推行基建快得他們無法相信。
If we take a look at the Mainland I wonder if Honourable colleagues are aware that the Mainland has been given the nickname Infrastructure Giant . It is because foreigners find it unbelievable when they witness infrastructure projects being taken forward in such a fast pace in the Mainland
過海隧道、攀山越嶺、過樓在重慶過江的道路、農村改造脫貧，我走遍不少這些城市及農村，他們的補償方案做得非常好。
Whether it is the construction of cross - harbour tunnels; roads through the mountains buildings―in Chongqing―and across the river; rural transformation to get rid of poverty I have visited many of these cities and rural villages their compensation packages are excellent
但當提到避風塘，我提出的9項議案都是較主流的，我知道當時有些同事只要提到避風塘，便會立即反對修訂，因為牽涉到現時的作業者。
But then speaking of typhoon shelters the nine motions that I proposed were the more mainstream ones . I am aware that some Honourable colleagues back then would oppose to the amendments immediately as long as we mentioned the typhoon shelters since existing workers would be involved
我認為，如果我們要有大視野，無論是油麻地避風塘抑或觀塘避風塘，都並非不可觸碰的問題，問題是政府能否提供一個好的補償方案。
I consider that if we have to embrace a grand vision be it the Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter or the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter both of them are not issues that we cannot touch upon . The question lies in whether the Government can offer an attractive compensation package
我看到內地農村改造的補償方案，農民可以分屋，更會分得股息，股息還可以繼承，他們不知多高興。
I can see that under the compensation package for rural transformation in the Mainland farmers may be compensated with houses and they may also be offered dividends which can be inherited . It makes them so happy
這就是政府的魄力，要協助這種大型的規劃。
This reflects the governments courage to assist in such large - scale planning
海南島正在立法，要成為全自由港，直迫香港。
Hainan is now enacting legislation in a bid to turn itself into a full free port comparable to Hong Kong
所以，我們確實要超越以往的思維。
Therefore we indeed have to go beyond our old way of thinking
談到啟德，我擔任了3屆九龍城區議員，由直選產生的區議員及立法會議員，的確是更直接感受到民情及社會脈搏，以及那種怨氣。
Speaking of Kai Tak I served as a member of the Kowloon City District Council for three terms . Members of the District Councils and the Legislative Council returned by direct elections can indeed feel public sentiments and the pulse of society as well as the grievances more directly
啟德郵輪碼頭好像一塊荒地，營運商10年來都是運用外國郵輪碼頭的方式，但外國地方大，土地沒有香港那麼寶貴。
The Kai Tak Cruise Terminal is like a piece of wasteland . In the past 10 years the operator has been using the approach of running a cruise terminal in foreign countries . However there is abundant land in foreign countries and land is not as precious as that in Hong Kong
一個這麼大的碼頭，其實交通非常不便，即使是乘搭郵輪，也要走很遠才能乘搭的士。
The terminal is large but actually the transport is very inconvenient . Even if the passengers get off a cruise ship they still have to walk a long way to board a taxi
在 規劃上，這些基本上是失敗的。
These are basically failures in terms of planning
不用說現時的疫情，即使沒有疫情，那裏也難以做生意。
There is no need to mention the current epidemic it is difficult to do business there even if there is no such an epidemic
在香港興建一個這麼大型的郵輪碼頭，有這麼大幅土地......
Constructing such a large cruise terminal in Hong Kong with such a sizable site I understand that the lease will soon expire as it was granted by the Government in 2012
我知道租約即將完結，政府是於2012年批出，其實最好是由政府自己管理，但不要像以往一樣，只是官僚，甚麼都說做不到。
In fact the best solution is to have it managed by the Government but it should not merely follow the bureaucratic way as it did before by saying that nothing could be done
因為談到海濱，便會民情洶湧，我已經歷過很多次，全部走上街，建制派也走出來，不只是泛民，全部一致，何時能夠團結市民，就是牽涉到海濱的時候。
I have experienced that many times everyone would take to the streets even those from the establishment camp not just those from the pan - democratic camp they just acted unanimously . The time for members of the public to stand in solidarity is when the harbourfront is involved
因為香港很難得有一個海濱，所以我覺得要審慎。
I hence think that we have to be cautious since the harbourfront is something very rare in Hong Kong
因此，在這個問題上，如果說要填海，我便會棄權。
For this reason on this issue I will abstain from voting if it is suggested that reclamation should be carried out
