大家都知道"劏房"住戶得到的保障很少，他們不敢主動投訴，怕投訴後會被人趕走，因此，要靠有關部門進行調查，但有關部門究竟能否做到這件事呢？
Afraid of the consequence of eviction tenants of subdivided units are shy of lodging complaints on their own initiative and count on the relevant departments to conduct investigations . But then are the relevant departments able to get this task done?
很多條例都靠政府執行，究竟這些條例是否真的確確實實獲得執行呢？
As many ordinances rely on enforcement by the Government I just wonder if they have been effectively enforced
所以，我希望有關部門考慮增加人手進行抽查和搜證的工作，否則，這項法例最後便會變成"無牙老虎"，這不是我們想看到的。
Therefore I hope that the relevant departments will consider increasing the manpower for random inspection and evidence collection . Otherwise this piece of legislation will end up becoming a toothless tiger which is the very last thing we want to see
所以，在經修訂的條例生效後，請當局看緊一些，透過進行問卷調查了解實質情況，並在一段時間後進行檢討，以了解進展。
Therefore I urge the authorities to keep a close watch by conducting a questionnaire survey to understand the actual situation and having a review some time later to find out about the progress after the amended ordinance has come into operation
此外，我自己亦期望今天本會通過上述法例後，當局可以盡快實施新規定並作出宣傳。
In addition I also hope that the authorities can expeditiously put the new regulations into implementation and make publicity efforts upon the passage of this legislation by this Council today
大家的目的只有一個，就是杜絕一些不良業主其實大部分業主都不是不良業主，但有部分人不懷好意濫收水費來謀利，希望從而可以減輕"劏房"居民的壓力。
All that we aim to achieve is to put a full stop to the profit - making practice of overcharging water fees which some unscrupulous landlords use―actually this is not the case for most landlords but just some of them who are devious―in the hope of alleviating the burden of subdivided unit residents
老實說，"劏房"的問題，當然不只是濫收水電費和雜費，還有大家經常關注的租金過高、樓宇失修、渠務、消防、環境衞生惡劣等問題。
Honestly issues concerning subdivided units are certainly not limited to the overcharging of water and electricity fees and other miscellaneous fees but include issues that constantly draw our attention such as the exceedingly high rent poor upkeep of buildings drainage and fire safety problems and unhygienic environment
這些已經是老問題，我們要逐一正視和解決，所以，我要在此重提，"劏房"租管的立法有迫切性，是刻不容緩的，跟這項與水費有關的《條例草案》同樣重要。
All these are long - standing issues that require us to tackle head - on one by one and I thus wish to reiterate the urgency and pressing need for legislation on tenancy control of subdivided units . This is just as important as this Bill which concerns water fees
代理主席，政府在4月份提交有關"劏房"租管的文件，當中臚列出一些工作小組的報告內容。
Deputy President in April the Government submitted a paper on tenancy control of subdivided units in which the report prepared by the task force concerned was partially set out
早兩天，尖沙咀又再次有圍封行動，這顯示出我們十分擔心舊區大廈有關環境衞生的設備做得不好，最後是會影響我們的。
Two days ago Tsim Sha Tsui just saw another lockdown and this has shown―something very worrying to us―that we will be the ultimate victims of the improper fitting of environmental hygiene facilities in the buildings in old districts
代理主席，這項《條例草案》令政府有法可依、有法可執。
Deputy President this Bill will provide the Government with the legal backing for regulation and enforcement
現時，"劏房"租客和業主出現糾紛爭議，往往面對政出多門、投訴無門和無法可依的情況。
When having disputes with their landlords subdivided unit tenants often find themselves in situations where there is the problem of fragmentary responsibilities among government departments . They have no way to lodge complaints and no law to resort to
談到香港的專業服務，我相信大家也會覺得我們真的有得天獨厚的優勢。
Talking about Hong Kongs professional services I believe that we all know that we are richly endowed by nature
香港的服務業佔本地生產總值超過92%，亦是全球最服務型導向的經濟體之一，有超過227,000人從事法律、會計、建築工程、資訊科技、廣告等服務性專業，所以我們真的有很好的根基。
Hong Kongs service industries account for over 92 % of our Gross Domestic Product and that has also made Hong Kong one of the most service - oriented economies in the world . More than 227 000 people are engaging in various professional services industries namely legal accounting construction engineering information technology advertising and so on . For that reason we surely have a very solid foundation
但是，如果我們的目光只局限於香港，這些行業的增長空間，無論如何總是有限。
Nevertheless if we limit our vision within the boundary of Hong Kong the room for development of these industries will be circumscribed
所以，我們真的必須要把我們的目光和眼界放得更廣和更遠，特別是用在國家給我們的政策和優惠上，包括我們現在的大灣區"一帶一路"的發展戰略，這樣才可以充分發揮我們的專業服務業，我們的專業人士和年輕人才可以有更好及更大的舞台一展所長。
For that reason we should broaden our vision and horizon particularly make better use of the policies and preferential treatment given to us by the country including the development strategy of the Greater Bay Area and the Belt and Road Initiative . Only by so doing can our professional services industries fully play their role which will enable our professionals and young people to have a bigger stage to showcase their talents
代理主席，特區政府妥善制訂配套政策措施，協助我們業界及年青人抓緊發展機遇是非常重要的。
Deputy President it is important for the SAR Government to formulate appropriate supporting policies and measures to help the industries and young people to seize the opportunity for development
我個人特別關心現時年青人的就業問題。
I am especially concerned about the employment of young people
在去年2020年，20歲至29歲青年的失業率達9.9%，差不多10%，失業問題亦揭示香港長期以來忽視產業多元化發展，除了我們恆常提到的四大支柱行業外，其實我們的青年人也沒有太多選擇。
In last year that is 2020 the unemployment rate of young people aged from 20 to 29 was 9.9 % nearly 10 % . The unemployment situation also shows a long period of negligence of the pluralistic development of our industries . Other than the four major pillar industries that we often talk about actually young people do not have much choice
我記得我還在唸書時，很多時學生也是修讀金融科目，人們經常說金融是最好的出路，又或是攻讀其他專科或醫生等，所以在短期內如何能協助香港青年找到就業機會，大灣區是其中一個好的出路。
I remember when I was still studying many students had to opt for finance - related subjects as people often said the financial field offered the best prospects for young people while some other might opt for other professional or medical disciplines . The Greater Bay Area is one of the good prospects for Hong Kong young people in job opportunities in near term
特區政府在今年1月推出大灣區青年就業計劃，截至4月7日已有275間企業提供2,000個職位空缺，其中超過一半是創科職位，收到大約5,700個網上求職申請，可見反應是非常熱烈的。
In January this year the SAR Government launched the Greater Bay Area Youth Employment Scheme the Scheme . As at 7 April 275 enterprises have provided 2 000 vacancies with over half being innovation and technology - related positions . About 5 700 online applications were received
我個人亦很關心這方面，過去曾多次質詢政制及內地事務局以至勞工處，如何能把配套做好一點，因為他們正正是我們的先頭部隊，願意參與該計劃，到內地開創出一條新的希望出路。
The response was overwhelming . Personally I am quite concerned about this area and have raised several questions in the past about how the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau and the Labour Department could improve their supporting measures because these people are the vanguards who are willing to participate in the Scheme in the hope of finding a new way out in the Mainland
事實上，有不少年青人其實真的不抗拒返回內地發展。
As a matter of fact many young people do not resist working in the Mainland
我記得我以前唸完書回港後的首份工作是前往大灣區工作，當時真的是人生路不熟，真的需要有多些指引。
I remember the first job I had when I returned to Hong Kong upon graduation it was a job in the Greater Bay Area . I was neither familiar with the place nor the people and needed a lot of guidance at that time
當然，現時特區政府願意發展這些計劃是好事，但我更覺得不能單靠一個就業計劃，我們可能提供薪金支持，其實如何能把配套做得更好及制訂更好的政策，讓他們可以真正學有所長及有所發展才是更重要。
Of course it is really good for the SAR Government to be willing to launch schemes like this one but I consider that we should not only rely on one scheme . We may also provide the salary support . Actually it is more important to find the way to improve the supporting measures and formulate better policies so as to allow them to bring what they have learnt into full play and to have the real opportunity for development
相反 從青年人的角度看，其實對他們也存在一定的挑戰，因為他們選擇了走這條路，他們原本在香港可能看到有穩定的發展，但返回內地對他們可能是一個新挑戰。
Actually they have to face some challenges . Since they have chosen this path . They may see a stable career development in Hong Kong working in the Mainland is perhaps a new challenge
所以，我們如何讓這批年青人到內地這些工作崗位，可以獲得更好的機遇，更好地發揮他們的專業，我覺得是同樣重要。
For that reason I consider it is equally important for us to help these young people working in the Mainland to have better opportunities so that they can showcase their professional capabilities . Moreover the Hong Kong Government should improve its coordination with Guangdong and Macao
現時有接近11萬"劏房戶"，當中有一部分除面對無良業主瘋狂加租外，亦遭到他們巧立名目，濫收水電費，這實為社會的悲哀。
There are nearly 110 000 households living in subdivided units now and some of them are subject to excessive rental increases by unscrupulous landlords who have even gone so far as to fabricate various reasons to overcharge their tenants for their water and electricity consumption . This is indeed an unfortunate situation in our society
《水務設施規例》早在1970年代制定，訂定了各項關於供水的規定，當中包括法定水費的安排。
The Waterworks Regulations were enacted as early as in the 1970s to provide for various requirements for supplying water including the statutory regime for charging water tariffs
政府多年來奉行"小政府，大市場"的原則，但隨着社會環境轉變，衍生出很多新的居住情況，亦由此凸顯出有關水費的問題。
The Government has upheld the principle of small government big market all these years but changes in the social environment have brought about many new modes of dwelling thus highlighting the problem with water charges
市民繳交的租金越來越高昂，但居住環境卻越見狹小，"劏房"、"棺材房"及"太空房"應運而生。
People have to bear an increasingly heavy burden of exorbitant rents but their living environment is getting more and more cramped and crowded culminating with the advent of subdivided units coffin - sized units and capsule - like accommodation
時至今天，仍有這麼多基層市民居住在不適切的居所，實在令人欷歔。我認為房屋問題不單涉及"劏房"問題，也是貧窮問題。
It is really saddening that there are still so many grass - roots people residing in inadequate housing today and in my opinion housing problem involves not only the issue of subdivided units but also the poverty problem
可是，漏洞卻出現了，因為同一處所的內部供水則屬例外，換言之，無良的"劏房"業主可透過巧立名目及壓榨手段，要求租戶支付額外費用。
However there is a loophole because the regulation shall not apply to a consumer of an inside service who recovers the cost of water from any occupier of the premises in which the inside service exists . In other words unscrupulous landlords of subdivided units can rack their brains for excuses to extract every cent from their tenants by charging additional fees
對於這種做法，我真的不能認同也不能接受。
I really find this neither agreeable nor acceptable
老實說，在這情況下，政府根本無法保障基層市民的居住權，亦無法捍衞他們的應有權益。
Frankly speaking under such circumstances the Government can hardly protect the right to adequate housing of grass - roots people and safeguard their entitled rights and interests
可是，事實擺在眼前，很多無良業主確實透過不同方法巧立名目，包括剛才提到在水費金額計入單位內部的維修項目費用。
It is however a hard fact that many unscrupulous landlords have resorted to different means and found all sorts of excuses to exploit their tenants such as the trick mentioned just now to include the costs of internal maintenance works of the premises in the water fees
因此，麥美娟議員今次提出是項《條例草案》，既可令政府覺醒，明白必須切實處理這問題，亦希望能促使政府多加思考，探討如何解決相關問題。
Hence it is hoped that with the introduction of the Bill by Ms Alice MAK the Government will be made aware of the need to make conscientious efforts to address the problem and be prompted to give more thoughts to the issue of what it should do to get the related problems resolved
代理主席，我一直有跟進不適切房屋的議題。
Deputy President I have all along been following up on the issue of inadequate housing
令我印象深刻的是，有一次與運輸及房屋局局長陳帆落區探訪"劏房戶"，看到有一家四口居住在面積不足100平方呎的地方，月租卻竟高達6,000元。
What left me with a deep impression was that I once visited a household living in a subdivided unit together with Secretary for Transport and Housing Frank CHAN and that family of four was living in a unit with an area of less than 100 sq ft but its monthly rent was as high as 6,000
我常問這是否香港今時今日必須面對的居住問題？
I often wonder if this is the housing problem we must face in Hong Kong nowadays
老實說，我認為政府有決心處理問題，但卻力度不足。
I honestly think that the Government does have the determination to tackle the problem but the measures adopted are not forceful enough
此外，我也要提醒發展局的同事做好宣傳工作。
Besides I would also like to remind colleagues in the Development Bureau to handle the publicity work properly
我常說即使有極其完善的政策，但當局若宣傳不足，不能深入基層，腳踏實地，也只會徒勞無功。
As I have always said even with the formulation of extremely sound policies such efforts will become futile if the authorities fail to make adequate publicity and take pragmatic actions to ensure that grass - roots people are deeply aware of the measures implemented
我亦注意到"一法立，一弊生"，我們雖完全理解制定是項法例的需要，但亦深信在立法後會出現剛才所說的上有政策，下有對策的情況，總會有無良業主透過不同方法再次試圖巧立名目。
I also understand that a new law will necessarily lead to a new problem and although we fully understand the need to enact this piece of legislation we do believe that after the passage of the Bill people will definitely come up with countermeasures against the policies implemented as I mentioned just now . There will inevitably be some unscrupulous landlords who try to fabricate various reasons through different means to overcharge their tenants again
因此，希望局長能替我們把關，密切留意市場變化，提防一小撮無良業主在政府這邊廂立法後，便在那邊廂鑽空子，另尋方法繼續牟取暴利。
I therefore hope that the Secretary will play the gate - keeping role and pay close attention to market changes thereby preventing a small number of unscrupulous landlords from finding loopholes in the system after the new legislative requirements have been put in place and identifying new opportunities to go on reaping huge profits
可是，在覓地建屋的過程中，特區政府的工作確實出現很大落差，希望局長能快馬加鞭。
Nevertheless in the course of identifying land for housing production the SAR Government is really lagging far behind and I hope the Secretary will try hard to expedite the process
我今天提出成立專責小組的建議，是因為眼見很多積壓個案急須處理。
By proposing to set up a task force earlier today my objective is to clear the backlog of a large number of urgent cases
韓正副總理曾指出，必須先達致全社會共識，再配合完善的頂層設計、長遠規劃，然後才能大手筆處理及逐步實現。
As pointed out by Vice Premier HAN Zheng a social consensus should first of all be reached and decisive and sweeping measures can then be taken to resolve the problem gradually with sophisticated top - level design and long - term planning
局長，社會已就此問題達成很大共識，只要政府果斷作出決定，便能處理種種問題。
Secretary an extensive consensus has already been reached in the community on this issue and the Government will be able to tackle various problems as long as decisions can be made with determination
代理主席，我再次重申，期望《條例草案》能盡快獲得通過，而政府亦能加快執行，減少在真空期內對基層"劏房戶"的影響。
Deputy President let me reiterate once again that it is my hope that the Bill will be passed as soon as possible and that the Government will speed up implementation of the new initiatives so as to reduce the impact caused to grass - roots tenants of subdivided units during the vacuum period
首先必須交代，是項《條例草案》是由本會麥美娟議員提出的私人條例草案，目的是禁止私人物業的業主，尤其是無良的"劏房"業主向基層租戶濫收水費。
I must first explain that the Bill is a private bill introduced by Ms Alice MAK a Member of this Council with the purpose of prohibiting landlords of private properties especially unscrupulous landlords of subdivided units from overcharging grass - roots tenants for water
由於《條例草案》內容涉及政府的政策，根據《基本法》第七十四條，必須取得特首的書面同意才可正式提交立法會處理。
As the Bill is related to government policies the written consent of the Chief Executive must be obtained in accordance with Article 74 of the Basic Law before it can be officially introduced into this Council
據我了解，政府相關部門最初對《條例草案》有點抗拒，但由於香港的"劏房"問題越趨嚴重，無良業主向租戶濫收水費的情況越趨普遍，政府最終決定支持有關的立法建議。
To my understanding the government departments concerned were slightly reluctant to support the introduction of the Bill at first but as the problem of subdivided units is becoming more and more serious in Hong Kong and it is getting more and more common for unscrupulous landlords to overcharge their tenants for water the Government has finally decided to give its support to the legislative proposal
特首並同時簽發書面同意，繼續由麥美娟議員推展提出私人條例草案的工作，而不像以往般由政府接收議員的立法建議，提出政府法案。
The Chief Executive has signed and given a written consent for proceeding with the introduction of this private bill by Ms Alice MAK instead of following the previous practice of including a legislative proposal put forward by a Member into the Governments Legislative Programme for the introduction of a Government bill
有關做法除了顯示政府願意聽取民意、採納議員提出的建設性建議，也反映出行政立法關係的改善，尤其是在"攬炒派"退場，立法會恢復正常運作後。
This has not only indicated the Governments willingness to listen to public opinions and accept constructive suggestions from Members but also reflected the improvements in the relationship between the executive authorities and the legislature especially after Members of the mutual destruction camp have left this legislature and the Legislative Council has resumed normal operations
隨着香港的選舉和議會制度進一步完善，我期望政府一方面展示更積極、果斷、主動的行政主導管治，另一方面則與立法會加強溝通，認真聆聽議員的意見，同心同德為香港市民謀福祉。
With further improvement to the electoral and parliamentary systems of Hong Kong I hope the Government will on the one hand manifest its executive - led administration in a more positive decisive and proactive manner and strengthen communication with the Legislative Council on the other hand to listen carefully to the views of Members so that we can all work together with our heart and soul for the well - being of Hong Kong people . Let me go back to the details of the Bill
回頭談談《條例草案》的內容。現行《水務設施規例》已明文禁止業主出售來自水務設施的用水，但向內部供水系統的用戶收取或收回水費，則可在法例下獲得豁免。
The existing Waterworks Regulations have expressly prohibited property owners from selling water provided from the waterworks but a consumer of an inside service who collects or recovers the cost of water from any person who uses water in the premises in which the inside service exists is exempted
麥美娟議員提出的修例建議，目的是規定業主只能按水務署訂定的收費水平向租戶收回水費，多收一分一毫均屬違法，希望藉此杜絕無良"劏房"業主向租戶濫收水費的問題。
The legislative amendments proposed by Ms Alice MAK seek to stipulate that landlords may only recover from their tenants charges for water in accordance with the rates specified by the Water Supplies Department and that it will be an offence to overcharge water fees by even a single cent above the rates specified . It is hoped that the introduction of these amendments will eliminate the problem of especially unscrupulous landlords of subdivided units overcharging tenants for water consumption
有關的立法建議用意良好，條文寫法亦相當簡單，可惜現實世界的情況往往並非如此簡單。
The legislative amendments are proposed with a good intention and the provisions are drafted in a rather simple manner . Yet regrettably things are not that simple in the real world
另外，如所涉"劏房"的供水系統甚至"劏房"本身屬非法搭建，租戶向當局投訴業主濫收水費，又會否擔心可能會導致自己無水可用，甚或需要遷出違法搭建的"劏房"，因而令他們根本不敢舉報呢？
Besides if the inside service of a subdivided unit or even the unit itself is an unauthorized structure the tenant will be worried about being suspended water supply or even evicted from the unit if he lodges a complaint to the authorities about being overcharged for water by the landlord which will deter the tenant concerned from reporting the case
運輸及房屋局現正就實施"劏房"租務管制訂定相關法案，當中包括規定"劏房"業主與租客簽訂標準租約，訂明業主除租金、按金、水電費等基本和合理收費之外，不得向租戶濫收其他雜費。
The Transport and Housing Bureau is currently drawing up a bill for the introduction of tenancy control on subdivided units under which landlords of such units will be required to inter alia enter into a standard tenancy agreement with their tenants . According to the terms and conditions of the agreement tenants should not be charged indiscriminately by landlords for miscellaneous fees other than those basic and reasonable costs like rents rental deposits and the cost of utilities
代理主席，我提出上述情況和問題，並不是要向麥美娟議員或運輸及房屋局潑冷水，而是希望有關的立法建議最後能真正幫助基層租 戶，懲治相關的無良業主。
Deputy President I am not trying to throw a wet blanket on Ms Alice MAK or the Transport and Housing Bureau by raising the above possibilities and queries and it is my hope that the relevant legislative proposals can ultimately offer genuine help to grass - roots tenants and punish unscrupulous landlords
在這方面，剛才已有議員表示希望政府的執法工作小心、到位，而不會最終變成針對奉公守法的良心業主製造麻煩，導致部分業主選擇退出市場，令"劏房"供應減少，租金不跌反升，更多基層家庭找不到安身之所，但對於那些唯利是圖、無視法紀的無良"劏房"業主卻無計可施。
In this connection some Members have expressed their hope earlier that the Government would conduct its law enforcement work carefully and precisely so that its actions would not eventually make life difficult for law - abiding and responsible landlords thus causing some of them to choose to withdraw from the market leading to a drop in the supply of subdivided units resulting in an increase instead of a decrease in rents and rendering it impossible for even more grass - roots families to find a shelter while on the other hand there is still nothing we can do with unscrupulous landlords of subdivided units who think of nothing but money and have no regard for law
代理主席，要解決香港的"劏房"問題，真正幫助基層市民改善生活和居住環境，大家也知道立法規管始終是治標不治本，大幅增加土地及房屋供應才是良策、上策。
Deputy President we all know that when it comes to addressing the problem of subdivided units in Hong Kong and genuinely helping grass - roots people to improve their living conditions and environment legislating for the regulation of malpractices is after all a temporary solution rather than a permanent cure while substantially increasing land and housing supply is the best and the most effective remedy
無論是出租公屋、資助出售房屋、私人住宅還是過渡性房屋，均必須加快、加碼推動和興建。
We must expedite construction and increase production of various types of housing units be they public rental housing subsidized sale housing flats private housing or transitional housing
另外，市民最不希望看到政府淪為土地方面的"大嘥鬼"。
Moreover the last thing people wish to see is the huge waste of land by the Government
正如最近才向立法會申請工程撥款的重建女童軍總部暨青年宿舍項目，便拖沓了10多年才真正動工，而西區警察宿舍項目更先後歷經近20年。
For instance a funding application was submitted to the Legislative Council only recently for the project to develop the Hong Kong Girl Guides Associations Headquarters cum youth hostel but the work proposal has in fact been procrastinated for more than 10 years before the commencement of the actual construction works . The Government has also spent nearly 20 years for the redevelopment project of the Police Married Quarters in the Western District
這些市區優質土地被不同部門按一些既定程序互相推卸，結果閒置10多年依然未能動工，導致浪費珍貴的土地資源，令人慨歎。
These are land sites of a high value in urban areas but under certain established procedures various government departments have been shirking their responsibilities and the land sites in question have thus been left idle for more than 10 years and construction has not yet commenced . We can only sigh with regret when precious land resources are wasted in this way
代理主席，隨着香港社會由亂至治，政制發展得以撥亂反正，立法會恢復高效、高質的運作，行政機關亦必須加快步伐，提升施政績效，戒掉議而不決、決而不行、行而不果的官僚文化，洗脫公務員系統給市民緩慢和推卸的形象，尤其是在土地及房屋相關的發展計劃和審批流程方面，更必須切實精簡，加快後再加快。
Deputy President as Hong Kong is moving from chaos to governance our constitutional development has been brought back to order and the Legislative Council has resumed highly efficient and effective operations the Executive Authorities should enhance their efficiency and governance performance also by abandoning the bureaucratic culture of engaging in discussions without making decisions making decisions without implementation and taking actions that are not effective as well as ridding the civil service system of its inefficient and buck - passing image . In particular specific measures should be adopted to further expedite and streamline the implementation of land and housing development plans as well as the relevant vetting and approval procedures
正如原議案指出，國家"一帶一路"建設和粵港澳大灣區發展，為香港專業服務業，包括我代表的建築、測量、都市規劃及園境界，帶來龐大的發展機遇。
As he pointed out in the original motion the Belt and Road Initiative and the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area have brought enormous development opportunities for Hong Kongs professional services including the architectural surveying town planning and landscape sectors represented by me
早於當選立法會議員前，我便以香港測量師學會會長身份，成功爭取內地與香港的估價測量專業，落實成為首個專業資格互認。
Long before I was elected as a Legislative Council Member I have successfully striven for the first mutual recognition of professional qualifications of surveying and valuation professionals in Hong Kong and Mainland in my capacity as the President of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors
但是，純粹取得內地相關專業資格，不等於可在不同省市執業和承辦建設項目。
Nevertheless acquiring the professional qualifications on the Mainland alone does not mean that one can practise and undertake projects in different municipalities and provinces
"打開了大門，還要打開小門"。
Big doors are open but small doors are not yet open
因此，我在2018年聯同盧偉國議員，以全國政協身份去信國家住房和城鄉建設部，爭取讓港資建築及工程專業企業直接參與內地的建設項目。
For that reason I and Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok jointly sent a letter in 2018 to the Ministry of Housing and Urban - Rural Development of the Peoples Republic of China in our capacities as members of the National Committee of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference with a view to striving for the direct participation of Hong Kong construction and engineering enterprises in Mainlands construction projects
