然而，去年有批評指出，全數豁免電動私家車首次登記稅變相資助"有錢人買玩具"。
However some critics pointed out last year that full exemption of the first registration tax FRT for electric private cars is tantamount to subsidizing rich people to buy toys
有見及此，政府將豁免額上限定為97,500元。
In view of this the Government has capped FRT at 97,500
自政府取消全數豁免電動私家車首次登記稅後，首次登記的電動私家車數目大跌。
After the Government has scrapped the full exemption of FRT for electric private cars the number of electric private cars registered for the first time has tumbled
然而，我仍支持政府為豁免電動私家車首次登記稅設立上限。
However I am still in support of the Governments decision to impose a cap on the exemption of FRT for electric private cars
如全數豁免的話，汽車生產商實在難以把較廉價的電動車推出香港市場。
A full FRT exemption will make it difficult for car manufacturers to introduce relatively low - priced electric vehicles into the Hong Kong market
事實上，價錢較相宜的電動車已逐步推出。
In fact more affordable electric vehicles have gradually rolled out
隨着電動車大眾化，電動車的格價勢必下調。
As electric vehicles become more popular their prices will definitely fall
雖然自由黨亦曾建議政府調高97,500元的上限，以吸引更多市民選購電動車輛，政府卻傾向維持現狀。
Although the Liberal Party has suggested that the Government raise the cap of 97,500 to attract more members of the public to buy electric vehicles the Government is more inclined to keep it at the current level
政府為控制車輛數量，推出了"一換一"新計劃。
To contain the number of vehicles the Government has launched a one - for - one replacement scheme
司長曾公開表示，設定上述條件，是為了防止出現舊二手車炒賣活動而濫用公帑。
The Financial Secretary has publicly explained that such conditions had been set to prevent any speculation on second - hand vehicles and the consequent misuse of public money
我理解司長的解釋， 但為了更有效鼓勵車主轉用電動車輛，我認為這項計劃有進一步優化的空間。
I understand the explanation of the Financial Secretary but in order to encourage more car owners to switch to electric vehicles I consider that this project still has room for further enhancement
我希望政府多聽取市民的意見，在稍後檢討時考慮作出適當的調整。
I hope that the Government can pay more attention to the views of the public and consider making appropriate adjustments in the review later
這既可回應市民的訴求，亦有助加快達成政策目標。
This will not only address public demand but will also speed up the attainment of policy objectives
最後，我想說說上星期一宗釀成一死四傷的交通意外。
Lastly I would like to talk about a traffic accident which had resulted in one death and four injuries last week
據稱悲劇涉事司機非法載客取酬。
It has been reported that the driver involved in the tragedy had engaged in illegal carriage of passengers for reward
因此，有報道指意外中的死傷者及其財物損失未必獲得保險公司賠償。
Hence it has been reported that the death injuries and loss of properties in the accident might not be eligible for compensation by insurance company
這事件確實反映非法載客取酬對道路使用者的財產構成威脅，政府不能不正視。
This incident has accurately reflected that illegal carriage of passengers for reward has posed a threat to the property of other road users a problem which the Government must face squarely
事實上，有一家利用私家車經營非法載客取酬的召車平台，聲稱擁有3萬多名司機，這數目仍未計算其他召車網絡或手機召車平台。
In fact one car hailing platform which illegally uses private cars to carry passengers for reward has claimed to have more than 30 000 drivers . This number has not even included those drivers on other car hailing networks or mobile applications
據我們保守估計，道路上目前有超過1萬輛從事非法載客取酬的白牌車，但警方過去3年只對30多輛白牌車作出檢控，與現況完全不成正比。
Based on our conservative estimate there are currently over 10 000 unlicenced cars engaging in illegal carriage of passengers for reward on the roads . However the Police have only instituted prosecution against 30 - odd white licence cars in the past three years which is completely disproportionate to the actual situation
為保障公眾利益，我希望司長投放更多資源，加強向市民教育和宣傳乘搭非法白牌車的禍害，以及加強警方打擊非法載客取酬的力度。
To protect public interests I hope that the Financial Secretary will deploy additional resources to step up public education and promotion on the scourge of taking unlicenced white licence cars and strengthen police crackdown on illegal carriage of passengers for reward
司馬昭之心，路人皆知。教育方面，歷史教科書上的爭議眾所周知。
The dispute involving history textbook is known to all
在財務委員會會議上，教育局局長與議員對答時，完全不必要地突然自動獻身，政治正確地指香港的主權並沒有甚麼收回或移交的情況。
At a meeting of the Finance Committee when the Secretary for Education was having a dialogue with Members he suddenly took the initiative to say for no reason at all in a politically correct manner that there was no such thing as recovery or transfer of Hong Kongs sovereignty
政府官員不停強調，指《基本法》說明中國只是向香港恢復行使主權，沒有收回，也沒有移交。
Government officials keep stressing that according to the Basic Law China only resumed sovereignty over Hong Kong and there was no such thing as recovery or transfer of sovereignty
家長要承擔教科書的支出，已十分吃力。現在買甚麼教科書來教學生？
Parents already have to pay a lot for textbooks and what kinds of textbooks are used to teach students now?
如果說中國從不承認當年清政府簽訂的不平等條約，請告訴我，1997年7月1日香港當時發生甚麼事？
If China never acknowledges the unequal treaties signed by the Qing Government at that time then tell me what happened in Hong Kong on 1 July 1997? . On that day there was a hubbub in the city with beating of gongs and drums
一片喧嘩，鑼鼓震天，當時不是收回香港主權是甚麼？
If it was not to celebrate Chinas resumption of sovereignty over Hong Kong what was it?
林鄭月娥還說我們在這方面要用字精準，不要戴有色眼鏡。
Carrie LAM said we must use more precise wording and we should not wear coloured glasses
"老兄"，海洋公園是法定機構，應該自負盈虧。
Buddy the Ocean Park is a statutory organization and should be self - financed
說"海洋公園是香港人的公園"那人現時不在席。
The one who said the Ocean Park is a park of Hong Kong people is not present now
他說海洋公園是香港人的公園，所以要救濟。
He said that since the Ocean Park belonged to Hong Kong people subsidy should be provided
世界許多大城市已經陸續關閉這類海洋公園，你們還叫學生去看海豚跳來跳去、看關在籠內的動物進食和玩耍，還說這是生態旅遊。
Many big cities in the world are gradually closing up parks similar to the Ocean Park . You still ask students to watch dolphins jumping out of water or animals eating and playing in cages and you call that eco - tourism?
真是不堪！
That is absolutely shameful
然後還說撥給海洋公園的3億元，包括用於最大客源的地方推廣海洋公園。
And then the 300 million provision to the Ocean Park also includes the expenditure on promoting the Ocean Park in the place where most customers come from which I guess everyone knows where it is the Mainland of course
便是中國大陸。
Hong Kong people have avoided going to the Ocean Park in the past decade as they have been scared off by swarms of Mainland tourists
我希望政府真的要三思，撥3億元給海洋公園是不可思議的，政府不應發放這種救濟金。
I hope that the Government will think twice . The allocation of 300 million to the Ocean Park is just beyond me . The Government should not dole out this kind of relief
同時，政府也是以動物為由，特別撥出30億元給香港科技園公司。
At the same time the Government has especially earmarked 3 billion to the Hong Kong Science and Technology Corporation for the sake of animals
我多次追問當局，30億元包括動物實驗的設施，當中有多少錢是用在動物身上？
I have asked the authorities time and again how much money will be spent on animals out of the 3 billion set aside for facilities including those for animal experiments
當局只說首先要在工商事務委員會討論，然後再在財務委員會討論。
The authorities only response is that the issue will be discussed by the Panel on Commerce and Industry first and then by the Finance Committee
這真是不可思議。
This is really mind boggling
我重申，按新世代新人類的文明精神，動物實驗可免則免。
Let me reiterate according to the spirit of new human civilization animal experiments should be avoided as far as possible
很出奇地，中國還規定入口化妝品必須經過動物實驗，好像人家的化妝品安全標準隨時會低於中國大陸的。
Oddly enough China requires all imported cosmetics to have been tested on animals as if the safety standards of other countries for cosmetics are inferior to that of China
這一點非常出奇，但不要緊。
That is a little strange but it does not matter
這是人類的偽善，我們將動物分等級，豬、牛、羊可以吃，吃貓吃狗則犯法。
This is human beings hypocrisy as they classify animals into different classes while eating pigs cattle and sheep is allowed eating cats and dogs is prohibited by law
這完全是本末倒置。
This is totally a matter of putting the cart before the horse
我希望只要不停說，可以令香港政府意識到，動物與人類一樣有權利。
I hope that if I keep talking about this the Hong Kong Government will finally realize that both animals and human beings have rights
主席，財政司司長在2月公布他在林鄭月娥政府中的首份財政預算案後，民主建港協進聯盟對預算案的總體評價是"投資未來有心，分享成果不足"。
President after the Financial Secretary announced in February his maiden Budget in Carrie LAMs Government the overall comment of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB on the Budget is that it shows commitment to invest for the future but is ineffective in sharing fruits of success
民建聯感謝財政司司長接納我們的部分建議，大力投放資源增加香港醫療體系的容量和發展多元經濟，並且預留資源，在改善教育、提升社區設施、文化設備和街市，以及向持續進修基金注資等方面作出長遠投資。
DAB thanks the Financial Secretary for taking on board some of our suggestions to invest heavily in expanding the capacity of the local health care system and developing diversified economy as well as setting aside resources for long - term investment in areas such as education enhancement upgrading of community cultural and market facilities and injection into the Continuing Education Fund CEF
在分享成果方面，司長亦接納了我們的部分建議，包括寬免薪俸稅和差餉、發放額外高齡津貼、長者生活津貼、傷殘津貼，以及發放"N無人士"津貼。此外，政府亦接納了我們的另一些建議，例如擴闊薪俸稅稅階、提高子女免稅額、額外注資長者醫療券計劃，以及為有需要的學生提供額外資助等。主席，今年與土地房屋有關的收入理想，庫房大豐收，錄得的盈餘高達1,380億元。
As regards the sharing of fruits of success the Financial Secretary also accepted some of our suggestions which included reducing salaries tax waiving rates providing an extra allowance to recipients of the Old Age Allowance the Old Age Living Allowance and the Disability Allowance and providing an allowance to N have - nots
主席，在今年的財政預算案，財政司司長錯誤估算的盈餘破了紀錄。
President the Financial Secretarys wrong estimation of surplus in this years Budget has broken the record
2017-2018年度的財政盈餘高達1,380億元可能還不止這個數目較去年的估算超出逾1,217億元。
The fiscal surplus for 2017 - 2018 is as high as 138 billion―probably more―an excess of more than 121.7 billion over last years projection
然而，預算案"派錢"4,000元的措施只是隔靴搔癢；提出為中學文憑試考生支付考試費又臨陣退縮；免費送出1萬張海洋公園門票，不單是轉移視線的花拳繡腿，更被市民質疑涉及利益輸送。
However the measure proposed in the Budget to hand out 4,000 is simply ineffective; the proposal to pay the examination fees for candidates of the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination is cancelled at the last moment; and the provision of 10 000 free Ocean Park tickets is not only a fancy move to divert attention but also being queried by the public for transfer of benefits
所謂"補漏拾遺"的"派 錢"措施其實是"補鑊"，可是程序繁複又嚴苛，單是行政費也竟然超過3億元，根本做不到還富於民的效果。
The so - called gap - plugging measure to hand out money is actually a remedial measure yet the procedures are very complicated and harsh . Just the administration costs alone will amount to over 300 million so the objective of returning wealth to the people cannot be achieved at all
主席，在今年預算案公布後，不少過去不支持"派錢"的香港市民也改變了態度，贊成"派錢"，贊成政府還富於民。
President after the announcement of this years Budget many Hong Kong people who did not support handing out money in the past have changed their attitude and support handing out money to return wealth to the people
因為政府沒有做好自己的工作，令越來越多香港市民對它失去期望，不相信它願意推行一些切實的措施和政策，以解決市民面對的社會問題，例如人口老化、醫療人手長期不足、青年人置業等問題。
As the Government fails to do its part more and more Hong Kong people no longer have any expectations and they do not believe that the Government will put in place practical measures and policies to solve the social problems faced by members of the public such as an ageing population long - term shortage of medical manpower home purchase issues of young people etc
更有人相信，政府根本沒有把香港人的利益放在首位，沒有把資源放在香港人關注的問題上。
Some even believe that the Government has simply not accorded top priority to Hong Kong peoples interests such that it does not put in resources to address issues that Hong Kong people are concerned about
他們認為，既然對政府如此失望甚至絕望，政府不如還富於民，把金錢直接交還給市民，讓香港人自行解決問題。
In their view as they are so disappointed with the Government and have even given up all hope it would be better for the Government to return wealth to the people by giving money back to them directly so that people can solve the problems by themselves
主席，這種心態的改變其實非常悲涼，亦顯示政府失去了應有的功能。
President such a change in mentality is actually very sad which also indicates that the Government has failed to perform its due function
預算案沒有好好回應市民的訴求，尤其不能夠解決青年人和長者面對的困難，亦沒有長遠的措施協助基層市民，紓緩香港現正面對的種種社會矛盾。
The Budget fails to properly respond to peoples aspirations; in particular it fails to address the difficulties faced by young people and the elderly and has not formulated long - term measures to help the grass roots and alleviate various social conflicts faced by Hong Kong currently
還未計及3萬多億元外匯儲備，政府的財政儲備累積已逾1萬億元，即相當於超過24個月的政府開支。
Excluding the foreign currency reserve of more than 3,000 billion the Government has already accumulated a fiscal reserve exceeding 1,000 billion which is equivalent to the amount of government expenditures for over 24 months
政府完全有能力作出更大的財政承擔，應付人口老化、貧富懸殊等社會深層次矛盾。
The Government absolutely has the means to make a greater financial commitment for tackling deep - rooted conflicts in society such as an ageing population and the disparity between the rich and the poor
主席，2017年香港的堅尼系數上升至0.539，在全世界發達經濟體中排行第二。
President the Gini Coefficient of Hong Kong rose to 0.539 in 2017 the second highest amongst the worlds developed economies
十年前，香港政府相信甚麼理財哲學？
What was the fiscal philosophy adopted by the Hong Kong Government a decade ago?
就是說，如果政府推動經濟，把"餅"造大了，每個階層也可能會受惠。
That is to say if the Government promoted economic development each sector of the community might be benefited when the pie had been made bigger
但是，事實上，香港的貧富懸殊沒有因而收窄。
However in effect wealth disparity in Hong Kong has not been narrowed
上屆政府開始改變，動輒說應該積極有為的用錢；本屆政府甚至說要有理財新哲學，善用盈餘，投資未來。
The last - term Government started to change by claiming time and again that money should be spent proactively; the current - term Government even claims that a new fiscal philosophy should be adopted to make good use of the surplus for investing for the future
可是，這些只是說起來很動聽的政治修辭，實際上香港的公帑卻沒有用得其所。
Nonetheless all these are merely political rhetoric that is pleasant to the ear . But practically the public money of Hong Kong has not been spent properly
主席，立法會秘書處今年就預算案擬備研究簡報，當中指出，政府過去由於有財政盈餘及豐厚的財政儲備，多次預留款項作專項撥款及基金，卻沒有充分利用部分撥款。
President the Legislative Council Secretariat prepared a research brief on the Budget this year . It is pointed out in the research brief that owing to the budget surplus and hefty fiscal reserve the Government has time and again set aside money in the past for specific purposes and has established designated funds . However some of the funds have been under - utilized
舉例而言，2016年成立的2,200億元未來基金，負責管理的香港金融管理局至今只用了一半款額作投資，餘下的另一半其實已經足夠讓香港成立全民退休保障的種子基金。
For instance the Future Fund was established in 2016 with 220 billion yet so far the Hong Kong Monetary Authority responsible for the management of the Fund only used half of the amount for investment . Actually the remainder of the fund is already enough to set up a seed fund for the universal retirement protection system
同樣是2016年成立的房屋儲備金，至今滾存高達788億元，但香港房屋委員會說未來5年根本無須動用房屋儲備基金，本身也有能力推動公營房屋的發展。
Likewise the Housing Reserve established in 2016 has a cumulative fund reaching 78.8 billion so far; yet the Housing Authority stated that it should be able to promote public housing development in the next five years without resorting to the Housing Reserve at all
此外，有一項2,000億元的第一個十年醫院發展計劃，至今僅用了4%的款項。
Furthermore 200 billion has been earmarked for the first ten - year hospital development plan and only 4 % of the fund has been used so far
去年的預算案撥出了100億元支援香港的創新科技發展，但納入本年度財政預算及中期財政預測的撥款只佔6%。
In the Budget of last year 10 billion was set aside to support the development of innovation and technology in Hong Kong . However only 6 % of the fund is included in the Budget and the Medium Range Forecast of the current year
政府利用這些花招，表面上是撥出了大量資源，但實際上一事無成。
The Government appears to have allocated plenty of resources by exploiting such tricks but it has practically done nothing
主席，有些政策範疇的資源投放其實相當有問題。
President the resource allocation in certain policy areas is indeed rather problematic
教育經常開支增長緩慢，反映出預算案對教育資源的投放未有長遠的規劃和承擔。
The slow growth of recurrent expenditure on education reflects that the Budget fails to have long - term planning and commitments in the allocation of education resources
香港目前有18%的適齡學生入讀資助學士學位課程，但由1994年開始，每年獲得大學教育資助委員會資助的學士課程學額一直只維持在大約15,000個。
At present 18 % of the students of the appropriate age group are enrolled in funded undergraduate programmes in Hong Kong . However the number of undergraduate places funded by the University Grants Committee each year has been maintained at around 15 000 only since 1994
政府一直不願意增加資助學士學額，令香港有大量符合入讀大學資格的年輕學生只能選擇入讀副學士課程。
The Government has all along been unwilling to increase the number of funded undergraduate places thus a large number of young students meeting university entrance requirement in Hong Kong can only opt for associate degree programmes
這就是政府在投放資源不足的情況下，阻礙年輕人發展，阻礙年輕人向上流動的情況。
The inadequate funding of the Government has hindered the development of young people and their upward mobility
主席，除教育外，安老服務開支佔社會福利經常開支的比重在過去10年亦只是由2007-2008年度的9.7%，一直龜速爬升至現時維持在大約11%。
President apart from education the share of elderly services expenditure in recurrent social welfare expenditure has likewise increased at a snails pace over the past decade from 9.7 % in 2007 - 2008 to around 11 % at present
這種升幅反映出甚麼？
What does this increase rate reflect?
它反映出政府根本沒有足夠準備應對香港人口老化，更遑論設立退休保障、居家安老這些有前瞻性的措施。
It reflects that the Government has not made adequate preparation for tackling an ageing population in Hong Kong not to mention implementing more forward looking initiatives such as establishing a retirement protection system and ageing at home
此外，雖然先後兩個十年醫院發展計劃帶來一些新的醫療設施，但觀乎現時香港的公營醫療系統，根本不勝負荷。
Moreover although the two successive ten - year hospital development plans will bring about some new health care facilities the current public health care system is simply overloaded
數月前的流感高峰期，有病人死亡，急症室爆滿，候診者"大排長龍"。
During the peak season of influenza several months ago patients died and the accident and emergency departments were packed with patients awaiting treatment
過去兩年，政府先後兩次削減醫院管理局的經常性開支。
The Government cut the recurrent expenditure of the Hospital Authority HA twice in the past two years
本年度615億元的醫管局經常性撥款只比去年增加11%，其中不少根本只是追補過去兩年減少了的醫管局的撥款。
The recurrent allocation of 61.5 billion to HA this year has increased by 11 % as compared to last year . In fact a portion of the current allocation merely makes up the reduced amount of funding to HA in the past two years
過去1年醫管局的醫生整體流失率有5.9%，是過去10年來的新高。
In the past year the overall wastage rate of doctors in HA is 5.9 % a record high over the past decade
面對資深醫生不斷流失，同時又要應付不斷增加病床和新醫療設施的營運，政府如果仍然不願意向醫管局投放更多資源，給予更多經常性撥款，短期內根本不能紓緩公營醫療系統的超負荷情況。
Given the continuous loss of experienced doctors and coupled with the need to cope with increased hospital beds and operate new health care facilities the Government simply cannot relieve the overloading condition in the public health care system within a short period of time if it is still unwilling to provide more resources and recurrent allocations to HA
不要跟我們說要投放一兩千億元給十年醫院發展計劃，這根本無濟於事。
Do not tell us that the Government needs to put in some 100 billion or 200 billion to implement the ten - year hospital development plans . It does not help to improve the situation
預算案投放200億元在落馬洲河套區的港深創新及科技園第一期，用作土地平整、基礎設施和上蓋建設等。
In the Budget 20 billion is allocated to the first phase of the Hong Kong - Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park the Park in the Lok Ma Chau Loop for site formation infrastructure and superstructure
政府表面上投放大量資源發展創新科技，但實際上又是一項基建項目，是一個接一個的模樣。
The Government appears to be putting a lot of resources in developing innovation and technology but practically this is another infrastructure projects coming one after another
本年度預算案用在基建的總開支達856億元，高佔整體開支15.4%，比教育的開支高出很多。
In this years Budget the total amount of expenditure on infrastructure reaches 85.6 billion taking up a high proportion of 15.4 % to the overall expenditure which is much higher than the expenditure on education
香港人現已承受高鐵、港珠澳大橋這些天價中港融合工程的惡果和苦果。
At present people of Hong Kong are suffering from the disastrous and bitter consequences of these Mainland - Hong Kong integration projects at sky - high prices such as the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL and the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge HZMB
過去10年，特區政府投放在基建開支的增長比率持續維持在高水平，例如廣深港高鐵、港珠澳大橋、蓮塘香園圍口岸等均是港深同城化這大策略下的產物，目的是要做到區域融合，但這是否真的是香港人所需要的？
The expenditure of the SAR Government on infrastructure grew persistently at a high level in the past decade . For instance XRL HZMB and the boundary control point at LiantangHeung Yuen Wai are all products of this overall strategy of Hong Kong - Shenzhen integration the purpose of which is to realize regional integration . But is it truly what Hong Kong people need?
反而，這是北京政府直接干預香港特區政府施政的有形無形之手。
Rather the Beijing Government has extended its visible or invisible hand to interfere directly with the governance of the Hong Kong SAR Government
這"大白象"跨境基建工程背後最大的推手，正是區域融合這概念。
The concept of regional integration is precisely the biggest force to push such a white elephant cross - boundary infrastructure project
主席，這份預算案提及的港深創新及科技園，最終造價最少高達750億元。
President the final project cost of the Park mentioned in this Budget will at least be as high as 75 billion excluding the loss caused by the inevitable cost overrun and delay
這數字還未計算將來必然會出現的超支延誤損失。
Why are cost overrun and delay inevitable?
這是因為過去10年，香港有哪項大型基礎建設和"大白象"基建工程沒有超支和延誤？
That is because over the past decade which one of the large - scale infrastructure projects and white elephant infrastructure projects in Hong Kong has not been overspent and delayed?
創新及科技園屬香港和深圳共同開發，而政府的說法是為了推動大灣區發展開路，園區的地理上是鄰近深圳，港方又會為認可的深圳方人員提供便利的出入安排，加上香港在法制上的優勢，肯定會吸引不少深圳的科研企業。
The Park is jointly developed by Hong Kong and Shenzhen . The Government claims that the Park will pave the way for promoting the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area . As the Park is in geographical proximity to Shenzhen and Hong Kong will provide convenient immigration arrangement for recognized Shenzhen staff coupled with Hong Kongs advantage in its legal system the Bay Area will definitely attract many Shenzhen technology research enterprises
但是，主席、各位香港市民，這些全部都是由香港人出資，但對香港本身的效益存疑，可是政府卻讓我們回不了頭，投放200億元作為前期工程。
However President and fellow Hong Kong citizens while all these projects are to be financed by Hong Kong people their benefits to Hong Kong are doubtful; yet the Government disallows us to back off by earmarking 20 billion to implement the advance works
因此，我代表新民主同盟表示不能支持今年度的預算案。
Therefore on behalf of the Neo Democrats I declare that I cannot support this years Budget
政府多年以來的預算案都是依賴短視的非經常性撥款解決問題，一次性的"派糖"便屬於這一類了。
Over the years the government budgets have allocated short - sighted and non - recurrent provisions to solve problems . The one - off measure of handing out candies is a case in point
新民主同盟要求政府，既然坐擁巨額盈餘，便應該對教育、安老和公共醫療等民生範疇作出更長遠的財政承擔，增加教育的經常性開支，進一步增加醫管局的經常性開支，以及立即成立全民退休保障的種子基金。
The Neo Democrats requests that the Government should given its hefty surplus make longer - term financial commitments in livelihood areas such as education elderly services and public health care . It should increase the recurrent expenditure on education further increase the recurrent expenditure of HA and set up a seed fund for universal retirement protection immediately
這才是政府應該做的。
These are the work that the Government should undertake
政府絕對有能力一方面還錢給市民，另一方面作出長遠的規劃和承擔。
The Government is definitely capable of returning wealth to the public on the one hand and making long - term planning and commitments on the other
主席，稍後我會就我的修正案作進一步解說。
President I shall further elaborate on my amendment later
我認為，政府在教育資源的處理上，仍把職業教育定位為有別於文法教育的另類教育，這不利於職業教育在香港的發展，阻礙香港多元化培訓人才，以支援不同行業。
I think such a teaching ecology is highly perverted . In addition to improving tertiary education the Government should enable students to have an international vision . Regarding the Funding Scheme for Youth Exchange in the Mainland the Audit Commission criticized that the exchange programmes organized by the Home Affairs Bureau had placed too much emphasis on the Mainland programmes to the neglect of international programmes
主席，我發言支持2018-2019年度的財政預算案。
President I speak in support of the 2018 - 2019 Budget
今年的預算案是新一屆政府第一份預算案，我在發言中會就政府的理財新哲學、香港的營商環境、創新科技及醫療等範疇，談談我對預算案的看法，然後我會談談新界鄉村在這份預算案中能有甚麼受惠。
This years Budget is the first budget of the new Government . I will express my views on the Budget in areas such as the new fiscal philosophy of the Government the business environment of Hong Kong innovation and technology as well as health care . Then I will talk about how villages in the New Territories can benefit from the Budget
