我說的可能相對是較小的議題，但都是很多香港市民，特別是中產市民關心、痛心、覺得不值得的議題。
While the issues that I have covered may be relatively minor they are concerned by many Hong Kong people particularly the middle - class people who feel aggrieved and unfairly treated
主席，鍾國斌議員有感而發，我也認為他擊中要害。
President I concur that Mr CHUNG Kwok - pan has hit the nail on the head when he expressed his feelings
近年來，自從颱風山竹吹襲過後，市民腦海浮現了兩個令人非常頭痛的問題。
In recent years in the wake of the onslaught of typhoon Mangkhut two issues have become the major headaches in the minds of the people
第二件令人頭痛的事，就是香港市民不可以生病，因為生病後有可能死亡，也有可能破產。
The second headache for Hong Kong people is that they are not supposed to fall ill because they may die or go bankrupt because of their illness
為何我要說這兩個題目？因為我想談談醫療和交通的問題。
Why do I bring up the health care and transport issues? . It is because I would like to talk about these two issues
眼科專科醫生辭職，其實是早晚的事。
It is therefore just a matter of time for ophthalmologists to resign
我早前向司長和食物及衞生局提出多項建議，我詢問當局可否參考2007年首個眼科公私營協作計劃"耀眼行動"。
I have recently put forward a number of proposals to the Secretary for Food and Health and the Food and Health Bureau . I have asked the authorities to draw reference from the Cataract Surgeries Programme the first public - private partnership PPP programme in ophthalmology launched in 2007
因此，民建聯建議將"耀眼行動"擴大至公私營合作的眼科專科服務。
Hence the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong has proposed to extend the Programme to cover ophthalmic specialist services under PPP
我們的建議結果卻石沉大海。
Our proposal has consequently fallen on deaf ears
我希望政府重視這個問題。
I hope that the Government will take this issue seriously
當工作環境好轉，他們還會離開嗎？
Will they still insist on leaving when their working condition is improved?
我希望醫管局和政府有關當局考慮清楚這個問題。
I hope that HA and the Administration will carefully consider this question
此外，醫管局內部應設立獎勵計劃。
Furthermore HA should put in place an internal incentive scheme
眼科醫生為何要逃亡？
What is the reason for the exodus of ophthalmologists?
這帶出一個問題，就是現時醫管局內醫護人員的士氣低落。
The apparent problem lies in the low morale of HAs health care personnel
目前醫管局各醫院之間出現了一個問題，就是"賞懶罰勤"。
The problem currently facing various hospitals under HA is that lazy personnel are rewarded while hardworking personnel are punished
此外，我想談談引入海外醫生的問題。
In addition I would like to talk about the recruitment of overseas doctors
最近報章經常出現"醫醫相衞"、"醫學霸權"這些說法。
Recently such views as doctors shielding each other and the hegemony of the medical profession have frequently appeared in the press
我認為，香港醫學會或醫委會應摒棄成見及狹隘的專業迷思，這樣才能促進社會公義。
In my view to uphold social justice the Hong Kong Medical Association HKMA or the Medical Council of Hong Kong should abandon the biases and parochial misconception of their profession
所謂社會公義，就是令市民可以求醫，而不是令市民不是病死，就是破產。
With social justice the public can seek medical consultation rather than dying of illness or going bankrupt
所以，我希望香港醫學會在投票時，尤其是就引入海外醫生方面，真的能夠慎思清楚。
Therefore I hope that HKMA can really consider carefully before casting any votes particularly with respect to the recruitment of overseas doctors
另一個令市民頭痛的就是交通問題。
Transportation is another issue vexing the public
我們近年經常聽到"迫爆"這兩個字，聽得最多的就是"迫爆"車廂、"迫爆"車站。
We often hear the term overcrowded in recent years particularly overcrowded train compartments and overcrowded stations
審計署昨天發表審計報告，批評政府完全漠視增加車位的訴求，多年來對市民的訴求完全充耳不聞。
In its Audit Report published yesterday the Audit Commission criticizes the Government for completely disregarding the demand for more parking spaces and turning a deaf ear to public demand for many years
這些方案似乎為業界製造了矛盾，這令我非常失望。
To my great disappointment these proposals seem to have caused conflicts in the industry
我認為，香港必須與時並進。
In my view Hong Kong must progress with the times
本港的交通亦應與時並進，政府有必要進行第四次整體運輸研究。
The local transportation should also progress with the times . It is necessary for the Government to conduct the Fourth Comprehensive Transport Study
此外，政府可否增加泊車點及連接點，以方便市民往來？
In addition will the Government increase the number of parking spaces and connecting points to facilitate movements of the people?
最近擬議的智能停車場，可否為泊車問題殺出一條"血路"？
Will the recently proposed smart car parks become a new solution to the parking problem? . The Fourth Comprehensive Transport Study should address peoples pressing needs
我強調，政府所提出的"三隧分流"方案只是一個"方案"，其原意雖好卻不可行。
I have to stress that the Governments proposal for the rationalization of traffic distribution among the three RHCs is merely a proposal which is not feasible despite its good intention
政府的方案純粹是用金錢控制車流；而我們建議的則 是用時間控制車流。
The Governments proposal simply seeks to manage traffic flows by adjusting tolls whereas our proposal seeks to rationalize traffic flows with time management
我們必須理性處理這個問題。
We must deal with this issue rationally
主席，當我們落區就財政預算案舉行居民大會時，市民最關注甚麼措施？
President during our residents meetings in districts what is the prime concern of the people over the Budget?
是紓困措施，即直接讓市民受惠的"派糖"措施。
It is the relief measures ie . the candies handed out to benefit the people directly
今年的預算案，我們形容為"派糖減甜"的預算案，只有領取福利的基層家庭可以"出雙糧"，以及有需要的學童可領取2,500元津貼。
I would say the candies handed out in this years Budget are not too sweet as only the grass - roots families on social welfare and students in need can receive a double pay and a grant of 2,500 respectively
當初，財政司司長不斷向我們進行期望管理，說今年政府盈餘不多。
Before Budget delivery the Financial Secretary had constantly managed our expectation by claiming that the fiscal surplus for this year would not be abundant
在宣布預算案時，財政司司長預計盈餘為587億元，現在政府收入較預期為多，盈餘最少有998億元，如無意外，盈餘甚至過千億元。
Despite his surplus forecast of 58.7 billion in the Budget the government revenue turns out to have exceeded his expectation . Barring any unforeseen circumstances the Government will have a surplus of at least 99.8 billion or even more than 100 billion
市民對此抱有合理期望，政府不能迴避。
The Government must not evade reasonable public expectations
香港工會聯合會有兩個很基本的訴求。
The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU has put forward two basic requests
第一，為學生提供開學津貼。
Firstly the Government should give students a school term allowance
如要向全港學生派發2,500元，他們豈非又要另設申請機制？
If it is tasked to give 2,500 to every student in Hong Kong it will have to develop another application mechanism right?
可是，如果因為怕做事而不向有需要的學童派發補助金或開學金，是否對某些家長不公平？
Yet if the Government refuses to provide students in need with a subsidy or a school term allowance simply to evade responsibilities will it be unfair to some parents?
我先申報利益，我也是一名小學生的家長，同輩很多朋友亦非大富之家。
I would like to first declare my interest I am a parent of a primary student and many of my friends in my generation are not rich
第二個訴求更加卑微。
Our second request is even more humble
政府早前把長者綜援的申領年齡調高至65歲，整個立法會和全城"鬧爆"，認為政府孤寒涼薄。
Some time ago the Governments act of raising the eligible age for elderly Comprehensive Social Security Assistance CSSA to 65 was severely criticized by the whole Legislative Council and the entire city for being mean and unsympathetic
政府於是推出"補鑊"的就業支援補助金1,060元，填補差額。
It later introduced an Employment Support Supplement ESS of 1,060 as a remedy to make up the difference
說到這裏，不得不提銀髮就業的問題。
At this point I must talk about elderly employment
政府半推半拉地鼓勵長者就業說得好聽就是"鼓勵"但鼓勵措施卻不到位。
While the Government encourages elderly employment in quite a forceful way―encourage is a nice way of putting it―its measures are ineffective
然而，此計劃的參與程度相當低，據當局估計，合資格個案每年約有2,600多宗，但提出申請的個案只有565宗，實際獲批的個案當然更少。
According to the Governments estimate there should be some 2 600 eligible cases per year; however the number of applications is on the low side at 565 not to mention the number of approved applications
我希望局長和司長可以反映這項意見。
I hope the Secretary and the Financial Secretary will reflect this view
但是，我們十分關注的長者日間護理中心、長者中心、長者院舍及獨立幼兒中心似乎未有納入這項涉及200億元的計劃。
Nevertheless the most concerned facilities namely day care centres for the elderly centres for the elderly residential care homes for the elderly RCHEs and standalone child care centres do not seem to fall with the ambit of this 20 billion initiative
我們認為這些設施更為重要，因為現時長者輪候政府院舍要等候38個月以上，即使是輪候長者日間護理中心名額，也要等候12個月，就連最基本的上門綜合家居照顧服務也要輪候數月。
In our view these facilities are more important because it now takes 38 months to wait for a place in a government - run RCHE and 12 months for a place in a day care centre for the elderly . Even for the most fundamental Integrated Home Care Services the elderly may have to wait for months
可想而知，長者的院舍服務及社區照顧服務均嚴重不足。
The serious shortage of residential and community care services for the elderly can thus be imagined
工聯會早前曾經進行調查，發現83%長者希望居家安老，在社區接受長者服務。
According to a previous FTUs survey 83 % of elderly persons prefer ageing in place with the support of community care services
香港的社區照顧比例極低，相比同樣面對社會老齡化的日本，該國也是東方人社會，但他們有5.5%長者接受社區照顧，澳洲亦有2.5%，但香港只有1%，所以我們很希望當局加強社區照顧服務。
In Hong Kong the percentage of elderly people receiving community care in extremely low . This percentage stands at 5.5 % in Japan another oriental society facing population ageing and 2.5 % in Australia compared with 1 % in Hong Kong . We therefore earnestly hope that the authorities will strengthen our community care services
此外，政府計劃撥款6億元改善公廁衞生，令公廁不再骯髒不堪和臭氣熏天。
Besides the Government has planned to allocate 600 million to enhance the hygiene of public toilets keeping them clean and fresh
至於當中的深層次矛盾，我知道局長在今年已完成討論和檢討，並自4月1日起推出外判制度改革。
Regarding the deep - rooted conflicts I know that the Secretary already completed the relevant discussion and review earlier this year and has introduced a reform of the outsourcing system since 1 April
要解決收入不穩的問題，我們認為政府應認真研究引入利得稅累進制，令賺取暴利的大企業多繳稅款。
To address the problem of unstable revenue the Government should seriously consider introducing a progressive profits tax to collect more taxes from the profiteering corporations
我希望政府理財時確能"急市民所急"，不要再因為官僚而錙銖計較，因為這會令市民非常憤怒。
We urge the Government to address the pressing need of the people and stop haggling over pennies for its bureaucracy will antagonize the people
何謂"共享"概念？
What does it mean by sharing?
政府能否為這群胼手胝足、富有獅子山精神的市民建立恆常回饋機制，令他們感受到經濟發展的成果？
Can the Government establish a reward mechanism to share the fruits of economic development with these hardworking people who give play to the spirit of the Lion Rock?
政府和司長每年看到盈餘便頭痛，我覺得他們需要深思。
When the fiscal surplus gives the Government and the Financial Secretary a hassle every year they should think over what has gone wrong
既然有"應使則使"的理財新哲學，我很希望政府會全面思考其理財政策。
Now that there is a new fiscal philosophy which advocates allocating resources as required I very much hope that the Government will have a holistic review of its fiscal policy
主席，多謝范國威議員替我傳召議員回來，一起分享我對這份財政預算案的解讀和寄望。
President I thank Mr Gary FAN for helping me to summon Members back to share my interpretation and expectation of this Budget
財政司司長陳茂波......
Financial Secretary Paul CHAN
在社會民生上，我們果敢地投入資源，着力去解決問題。
To improve peoples livelihood we are resolute in devoting resources and will spare no effort in solving problems
第23段提到："為了把握機遇，我們必須正視制約香港經濟以至社會發展的土地和人力問題"；第29段則提到："香港的土地和人力問題，不能單靠財政資源解決。
Paragraph 23 says that To seize the opportunities we must look squarely into the problems of land and manpower which have been hindering the economic and social development of Hong Kong and paragraph 29 states that The land and manpower problems in Hong Kong cannot be solved with financial resources alone
面對社會上不同的聲音，我們不應迴避，而應該抱着'求大同、存大異'的精神，以務實理性的態度凝聚共識，攜手化解這些制約......
We should not shy away from the different voices in the community . Instead in the spirit of seeking common ground while shelving major differences we should build consensus in a pragmatic and rational manner and join hands to overcome constraints
何君堯議員，你是否想澄清？
Dr Junius HO do you want to clarify?
" 這數項前提令我對這份預算案寄予厚望，但我認為司長的做法未能達致全面破格求變。
While these few premises have encouraged me to set high expectations for this Budget I do not think the Financial Secretarys approach can seek out - of - the - box changes on all fronts
我想跟司長分享3個環節，因為其他環節已由其他同事勾劃出來。
I would like to share three points with the Financial Secretary as the rest has already been outlined by other colleagues
今屆政府在施政報告中提出在大嶼山中部水域作過萬億元的投資，會先填海，後建設，涉及的款額接近6,000億元至7,000億元；再加上其他開支，最終的開支將會超過1萬億元。
In the Policy Address the current - term Government proposes to invest more than 1 trillion in the Central Waters of Lantau Island . After reclamation of land construction works will commence and the expenditure incurred is nearly 600 billion to 700 billion . Coupled with other expenditures the final expenditure will exceed 1 trillion
在土地供應方面，我接受香港有需要移山填海，但問題是現在只是單純填海，卻忘記了傳統的土地供應是來自岸上的。
With regard to land supply I agree that there is a need for Hong Kong to reclaim land but the current problem is that the Government has resorted to reclamation as the only option and forgotten that traditionally land supply should come from inland
然而，我們不能夠忘記的是，我們仍有大量陸上土地。
However there is one thing we must not forget . There is still a great deal of land onshore
如果從審慎理財的角度來看，我們需要1,000公頃土地這是我為上星期舉行有關土地供應的公聽會所計算的數字如果以每平方呎1,400元來計算，所涉款額也只是1,400億元，與現時交椅洲填海計劃的預算開支相同，唯一的分別是如果我們用心徵收陸上土地，我相信時間會較快。
From the perspective of prudent financial management we need 1 000 hectares of land which was computed by me for the public hearing on land supply held last week . If the cost of land development is 1,400 per square foot the amount involved will only be 140 billion which is the same as the estimated expenditure of the proposed reclamation project at Kau Yi Chau . The only difference is that if greater effort is made to resume land I believe the time required will be shorter
如果政府願意"手鬆"一點，任何一塊土地的擁有人都會樂意把土地交還政府。
If the Government is willing to be more generous landowners would be more than happy to surrender his land to the Government
只是政府在賠償方面一直過於"手緊"，不願意與土地擁有人分享經濟成果，以致出現一個所謂"死結"。
However the Government has all along been tight - fisted and is unwilling to share the economic fruits with the landowners resulting in a so - called deadlock situation
我希望財政司司長可以在這個問題上破格求變，研究有甚麼誘因可令土地擁有人更願意拿出手上的土地供政府發展，然後共享經濟成果。
I hope that the Financial Secretary will seek out - of - the - box changes in this respect and examine the incentives that can be provided to make landowners more willing to surrender their land to the Government for development so as to share the economic fruits together
香港除了外來的碳粒子及污染物質之外，本土的污染來源有兩大類別，包括剛才提過的發電廠，其次便是汽車。
Apart from foreign carbon particles and pollutants there are two major local sources of pollution in Hong Kong namely the power plants mentioned just now and motor vehicles
我認為政府應該全力以赴，既然有關政策在1990年代已經開始實施，只是在兩年前作了修改，所以現在是時候重新檢視能源政策，放棄使用fossil fuel並改用電力，研究如何配合有關的政策，否則市民會無所適從。
In my opinion the Government should make an all - out effort . Given that the relevant policy was implemented in the 1990s and the only revision was made two years ago it is now time to review the energy policy abandon the use of fossil fuel and switch to electricity and study how to tie in with the relevant policy otherwise the public will be at a loss as to what to do
談到"一換一"計劃，這是良策。
When it comes to the One - for - One Replacement Scheme it is a good initiative
現時的路面有限，車位不足，但在研究車位供應問題時，政府當局卻推說受《香港規劃標準與準則》限制，未能拆牆鬆綁。
There is currently limited road space and insufficient parking spaces but when the issue of supply of parking spaces was raised for discussion the Government said that it was bound by the restrictions of the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines and refused to remove barriers
香港政府必須着力減排或解決道路擠塞的問題，不要忘記香港的碳排放量須由2015年的每人6.6公噸減至2030年大約3.5公噸。
The Hong Kong Government must make vigorous efforts to reduce emissions or solve the traffic congestion problem . We must not forget that Hong Kong is obliged to reduce its per capita carbon emission from 6.6 tonnes in 2015 to about 3.5 tonnes in 2030
這是數字問題，聰明人會這樣計算，但更聰明的人亦能夠看得穿。
This is a matter of numbers . While smart people can figure out such computation even smarter people can surely see the trick
上述3點都是我想與司長分享的，而餘下約1分鐘時間，我想跟他談談政府撥款。
These are the three points that I would like to share with the Financial Secretary and in the remaining one minute I would like to discuss with him about government funding
主席，今年財政預算案草擬的時間，正值中美貿易戰打得如火如荼，本港經濟面臨危機。
President when the Budget this year was being drafted the trade war between China and the United States was in full swing and the Hong Kong economy was facing crisis
在這個陰晴不定的局勢下，財政司司長既要居安思危，也要回應社會的需要，同時又要推動經濟發展。
Under such volatile circumstances the Financial Secretary has had not only to remain vigilant but also respond to social needs and promote economic development
有見及此，財政司司長以"撐企業、保就業、穩經濟、利民生"為主題，內容都是穩打穩扎，公帑都是用得其所，不會隨便花錢，強調錢是要用於刀口上。
Therefore the Financial Secretary has revolved around the theme of supporting enterprises safeguarding jobs stabilizing the economy strengthening livelihoods rolled out practical and effective measures put public money to proper use refrained from spending money casually and ensured the money goes to the right place
不過，當預算案公布時，中美已展開貿易談判，市場氣氛回暖，樓市股市回升，大家又當作無事發生。
However when the Budget was announced China and the United States had already started trade negotiations . Given improved market sentiment and upturns in the property market and stock market people again acted as if nothing had happened
於是，又有人批評預算案"派糖"派得不夠，又指撥款不足夠。
As such some people have again criticized the Budget for failing to hand out candies sufficiently and allocate adequate funding
所以，我們需要一份"穩經濟、保就業"的預算案，千萬不要因為香港市面暫且平靜，便忽視經濟的危機、忘記財政盈餘已由去年的1,400億元減至現時的587億元。
For this reason we need a Budget that can stabilize the economy and safeguard jobs . We should not ignore the crises in our economy by reason of the transitory tranquillity of the Hong Kong markets nor should we forget that our fiscal surplus has dropped from last years 140 billion to this years 58.7 billion
即使財政收入大幅減少，預算案仍有做足一貫的利民紓困措施，包括寬減薪俸稅、利得稅及差餉、發放一個月的額外綜援金等。
Despite a big drop in revenue the Budget has still introduced routine relief measures including reducing salaries tax and profits tax waiving rates and providing an extra one - month allowance to recipients of Comprehensive Social Security Assistance
事實上，一份好的預算案必須因時制宜，如果司長明知收入大減、經濟出現問題，仍然盲目地大灑金錢，便是不負責任的行為。
In fact a good Budget must be responsive to the time . If the Financial Secretary spent blindly and lavishly even though he knew clearly the big drop in revenue and problems with the economy he was acting irresponsibly
我相信，司長是一個負責任的人，不會為了博取一時掌聲，而去做不負責任的事。
I believe that the Financial Secretary is a responsible person . He will not do something irresponsible for the sake of winning momentary applause
關於預算案的內容，首先，我認為預算案投放資源是對症下藥的，醫療問題便是最佳證明。
Regarding the specifics of the Budget first I believe that the commitment of resources in the Budget is targeted . The health care issue is the best case in point
近年，醫療問題備受社會關注，市民輪候公營醫療服務的時間越來越長，醫護人員流失的情況更日益嚴重，引入海外醫生的建議亦遲遲未能通過，公營醫療瀕臨"爆煲"。
In recent years the health care issue has been a grave concern in society . The waiting time for public health care services is getting increasingly longer the departure of health care staff is deteriorating the proposal of admitting overseas doctors has yet to be approved and the public health care system is on the brink of a breakdown
預算案就此撥出100億元作公營醫療撥款穩定基金，供醫管局隨時用來應急；另外用50億元添置醫療設備；用超過7億元以提高醫護士氣及挽留人才；增撥4億元擴闊藥物名冊。
The Budget will earmark 10 billion to set up a public health care stabilization fund for the Hospital Authority to cope with contingencies . An additional 5 billion will be earmarked for acquisition of medical equipment . Over 700 million will be used to boost the morale of health care workers and retain talent and an additional 400 million will be allocated to expand the scope of the Drug Formulary
過去的預算案很少指明資金用途，相信此舉是為了加快投放資源，以助盡快解決問題。
Previous Budgets rarely designated the use of funds . I believe the move this year aims at accelerating the allocation of resources to help solve the problems expeditiously
當然，當局要長遠糾正目前醫療系統的失衡，就須做好第二個十年醫院發展計劃。
Certainly if the authorities want to rectify the existing imbalance in the health care system in the long run they must properly undertake the second 10 - year hospital development plan
另外，本港在發展創科產業方面雖然已經做了不少工作，但社會上仍然有意見擔心政府會虎頭蛇尾。
In addition Hong Kong has done a lot of work in developing innovation and technology IT industries but there are still concerns in society that the Government may be a quitter
今次預算案用了很多篇幅解釋政府已經展開相關工作，並指出至今已投入超過1,000億元。
The Budget devotes much space to explain that the Government has commenced the relevant work and committed over 100 billion so far
預算案亦宣布用55億元發展數碼港第五期，並承諾會繼續增撥資源以確保港深創新及科技園如期發展，另會增撥8億元用於科研。
The Budget also announces that 5.5 billion will be earmarked for the development of Cyberport 5 additional resources will be allocated to ensure the timely development of the Hong Kong - Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park and an additional sum of 800 million will be provided for research and development
我相信，預算案可以明確讓社會知道，政府有決心推動創科發展，繼續鎖定創新科技為經濟發展的新動力。
I believe that the Budget enables the public to clearly know that the Government is determined to promote IT development and continue to regard IT as a new driving force for economic development
今天楊局長也在席，我相信他是任重道遠，香港全靠他。
Secretary Nicholas YANG is also present today . I believe that he is charged with an important duty and Hong Kong hinges on him
此外，我亦留意到司長將稅務政策組調到財政司司長辦公室轄下，我相信司長是要加強稅務改革的工作。
In addition I have also noted that the Financial Secretary will transfer the Tax Policy Unit to come under the Financial Secretarys Office . I believe that the Financial Secretary aims to step up the work of tax reform
事實上，世界多個地方都先後進行稅務改革，以增強競爭力。
In fact various places in the world have conducted tax reform one after another to enhance their competitiveness
我亦曾建議，政府應透過稅務改革，例如以稅務優惠吸引外資公司來港設立地區總部，從而增加本港的競爭力。
I once advised the Government to conduct tax reform such as offering tax concessions to attract foreign companies setting up regional headquarters in Hong Kong thus enhancing the competitiveness of Hong Kong
所以，我期望司長盡快作出檢討，讓香港的稅制與時並進。
As such I hope that the Financial Secretary will expeditiously conduct a review to keep Hong Kongs tax regime up to date
預算案預留20億元，支持非政府機構興建過渡性房屋，我歡迎司長的決定，並希望有關工作盡快展開。
The Budget proposes setting aside 2 billion to support non - governmental organizations in constructing transitional housing . I welcome the Financial Secretarys decision and hope that the work can be commenced as soon as possible
事實上，房屋難題仍然困擾香港人。
In fact the housing problem still distresses Hong Kong people
由於政府決定增加公營房屋的比例，私營房屋供應自然會減 少，社會擔心這會令樓價飆升。
As the Government has decided to increase the ratio of public housing the supply of private housing will naturally be reduced . There is a concern in society that property prices will skyrocket
我認為政府應該推動"明日大嶼"計劃盡快上馬，當長期土地供應有保障時，社會的擔憂自然得以紓緩。
I think that the Government should expeditiously commence the Lantau Tomorrow project . When long - term land supply is ensured the concern in society will naturally be alleviated
議員經常批評"明日大嶼"是遠水不能救近火，但其實不少有識之士不會只批評，而是會想出新方法解決香港的問題。
Some Members often criticize the Lantau Tomorrow project as being distant water that cannot quench a fire nearby . However many people of insight do not merely make criticisms . Rather they come up with new ideas to solve Hong Kongs problems
他們說只要政府肯用新思維，減省繁瑣的行政程序，便可以在10年內建成房屋，中期亦可多管齊下，發展棕地、農地以增加土地。
According to them as long as the Government is willing to adopt a new way of thinking and streamline cumbersome administrative procedures housing projects can be completed well within 10 years . In the medium run a multi - pronged approach can be adopted to develop brownfield sites and agricultural land to increase land supply
我們的青年人經常羨慕新加坡"人人有樓住"，其實只要政府下定決心，我們將來也可以"人人有樓住"。
Our young people often envy Singapores universal home ownership . In fact should the Government demonstrate its determination we can also achieve universal home ownership in the future
主席，我想談談保險界關注的問題。
President I would like to talk about issues that are of concern to the insurance sector
我先申報，我是立橋保險集團的資深顧問。
I would like to first declare that I am a senior consultant of Well Link Insurance Group
預算案倡議協助業界把握大灣區及"一帶一路"的商機。
The Budget proposes to assist the sector in seizing the business opportunities brought by the Greater Bay Area development and the Belt and Road Initiative
