總不能用這麼少錢，卻要求別人提供良好質素的服務，這是強人所難。
To ask others to provide good quality services with so little money would put them in a very difficult situation
更重要的是，政府應該從根本方向改善安老服務，即是提供居家安老服務。
More importantly the Government should fundamentally improve elderly services by promoting ageing in place
很多長者不得不入住院舍，因而令現時出現了環境惡劣、人手不足的問題。
Many elderly people have to stay in residential care homes which has contributed to the problems of extremely bad environment and shortage of manpower
所以，一方面，我們希望一定要加快興建津助院舍，同時，亦希望要盡量改善照顧員的薪酬待遇。
Therefore on the one hand we hope that the construction of subsidized residential care homes will be speeded up and on the other hand we also hope that the remuneration package of caregivers can be improved as much as possible
但是，這10年間，輪候院舍的人數卻增加了13,743人，跟之前相差了10,000人。
However during the decade the number of people waiting for their homes has increased by 13 743 a difference of 10 000 from the previous figure
我們想一想，這數字如此龐大，政府是否應該多撥資源、人手來解決這問題，而不是花那麼多人力和資源來興建人工島呢？
Let us think about it . As this figure is so huge should the Government allocate more resources and manpower to solve this problem instead of using so much manpower and resources to build artificial islands?
事實上，2008年之前的《香港規劃標準與準則》中列明，護理安老院舍及安老院舍的比例以人口為基礎，應為每1,000名65歲或以上長者設有17個護理安老宿位，但是，這標準於2008年被刪去，並改為"提供院舍的資助宿位不應預先設定以人口為服務基礎，而應視乎需求、資源及是否有合適處所"。
In fact the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines before 2008 set out that the proportion of care and attention homes and elderly homes should be based on the population and should be 17 per 1 000 elderly people aged 65 or above . This standard however was deleted in 2008 and changed to The provision of subsidized places for residential care homes should not be pre - set on a population basis . It should depend on demand resources and availability of premises
因此，我們看到政府過去在安老服務方面做得非常差，落後於實際需求。
Therefore we have seen that the Government has done very poorly in terms of elderly services in the past and lags behind the actual demand
另外，在家居照顧方面，施政報告提出了會在改善家居服務方面增加2,000個名額。
Moreover in respect of home care the Policy Address has proposed an increase of 2 000 places to improve home services
看起來，政府似乎很大手筆，但很可惜，這項服務已由2017年有5,370人輪候增至2018年有7,351人，平均輪候時間是16個月。
It seems that the Government is very generous but unfortunately the waiting queue for this service has increased from 5 370 people in 2017 to 7 351 in 2018 with an average waiting time of 16 months
今年新增的2,000個名額，只是追回2017年的輪候數字，最多只能減慢輪候情況惡化，但絲毫未能改善服務不足的問題。
The increase of 2 000 places this year serves merely to recover the shortfall in 2017 . It can only slow down the deterioration of the waiting list but cannot rectify the problem of insufficient service at all
過去多年來，雖然"安老"從未在施政報告中缺席，但年復一年，照顧者的壓力、院舍質素參差、社區支援不足等問題是逐年惡化。
In the past years although elderly care has never been absent from the Policy Address year after year the problems of carer pressure poor quality of residential care and inadequate community support are deteriorating year by year
因此，在改善民生和安老服務方面，如果政府不拋棄一直以來"修修補補"的政策思維，只懂得以一次性增加服務名額或服務券作為安老政策手段，將服務推向市場化及外判安老責任，根本無法回應嚴峻的人口老化問題。
Therefore in terms of improving peoples livelihood and elderly services if the Government does not abandon the policy thinking of repairing and supplementing in which it only knows that it can increase the number of service places or service vouchers as a means of its elderly policy and push the service to market as well as outsourcing its responsibility for taking care the elderly it can never respond duly to the severe problem of population ageing
至於扶貧方面，情況更是離譜。
As for poverty alleviation the situation is even more ridiculous
當初上任時，特首口口聲聲說要搞好民生，但面對貧富懸殊這個嚴峻問題時，施政報告中有關扶貧的內容卻竟然只佔兩小段，這與交白卷無異，市民又怎會接受呢？
When she took office the Chief Executive kept saying that she would try to improve the peoples livelihood . However in the face of the serious problem of disparity between the rich and the poor the content of poverty alleviation actually only took up two short paragraphs in the Policy Address . This is no different from handing in a blank answer sheet
雖然在房屋方面，政府提出增加過渡性房屋，但數量始終有限。
How can the public accept it? . About housing although the Government has proposed to increase transitional housing its number has always been limited
對基層租戶來說，最重要的是實施租金管制等措施及將"N無"津貼恆常化，但政府卻不肯做這些，令這群市民要繼續在不衞生、不安全的居住環境中過活。
For the grass - roots tenants the most important thing is to implement measures such as rent control and to normalize the N - no allowance . However the Government refuses to do so making this group of people continue to live in an unsanitary and unsafe living environment
所以，如果政府在這方面不多加努力的話，我很擔心會為社會帶來一個嚴重的危機，亦會令社會在未來出現一些惡劣的情況，變成一個計時炸彈。
Therefore if the Government does not work harder in this respect I am worried that it will bring a serious crisis to the community . It will also cause some bad conditions in the future and become a time bomb
因此，我希望特區政府及特首"林鄭"在扶貧、安老、勞工方面加大改善的力度。
Therefore I hope that the SAR Government and the Chief Executive Carrie LAM will intensify their efforts in poverty alleviation elderly care and labour issues
全港人口最多的沙田區差不多有68萬的居民，但該區只有兩間夜間普通科診所在星期一至五提供服務，服務實在供不應求。
There are nearly 680 000 residents in Sha Tin which is the most populated district in Hong Kong . However there are only two evening general outpatient clinics in the district providing services from Monday to Friday . The current services are indeed insufficient to meet the demand
可是，今次施政報告並沒有提及這方面，我希望政府能增加各區的夜診服務。
Unfortunately the issue is not addressed in the Policy Address . I hope the Government will provide more evening outpatient services in all districts especially in Sha Tin District
由於醫護人手不足，本港公立醫院的輪候時間越來越長。
Due to the shortage of health care manpower the waiting time in local public hospitals is getting longer and longer
我希望局長能特別關注現時醫生的"逃亡潮"。
I hope that the Secretary will pay special attention to the exodus of doctors especially that of experienced doctors
現時，全球已有34個國家及地區提供全民乳癌篩查，但香港至今仍未做到。
We have the highest prevalence rate of breast cancer in Asia . At present at least 34 countries or regions around the world have population - wide breast screening programmes in place but it has not yet been implemented in Hong Kong
因此，政府應該多加呼籲婦女注意身體健康及加強公眾教育工作，提醒40歲以上的女士必須定期進行婦科檢查，這點確實非常重要，希望局長會再加大這方面工作的力度。
It is therefore very important that the Government should step up publicity efforts to promote health awareness among women and strengthen public education in this regard encouraging women over the age of 40 to attend gynaecological check - ups on a regular basis . I hope that the Secretary will step up efforts in this area
對於今次施政報告提出免費為本港小五及小六女生進行子宮頸癌疫苗注射的計劃，我們十分高興，並表示歡迎，因為這是我們多年來所爭取的。
We are also pleased to see that the Policy Address proposes introduction of free HPV vaccination to school girls of Primary Five and Six in Hong Kong . We welcome this proposal because it is a goal that we have been pursuing for many years
鑒於其他國家或城市是實施一次性的注射計劃，因此我希望政府也可考慮一次性的免費為全港所有中學及大學女生注射子宮頸癌疫苗，給予她們全面保障。
In view of the fact that some countries and regions have implemented some one - off vaccination programmes I also urge the Government to consider implementing a one - off free HPV vaccination programme to all female students of secondary schools and universities in Hong Kong so that they will be protected against cervical cancer
此外，希望政府亦會考慮在日後為適齡女士進行免費子宮頸癌檢查服務，藉以為女士提供進一步服務。
In addition I also urge the Government to provide free cervical cancer screening programme for all women of the relevant age in the future so that women will be benefited from more services
關於生育方面，我經常提及希望政府會制訂更多鼓勵生育的政策，因為香港的女士傾向遲婚及遲生育。
Now I would like to speak on the issue of fertility . I have frequently expressed the hope that the Government will formulate more policies to encourage child birth . Women in Hong Kong tend to get married and give birth at a later age
除此之外，我也想談談罕見疾病的問題。
In addition I also want to speak about rare diseases
何時可以降低關愛基金的申請門檻？
When will the eligibility threshold for the Community Care Fund be lowered?
我們仍在等候政府的好消息。
We are still waiting for good news from the Government
除了鼠患外，我也十分關注街市的問題。
Apart from rodent infestation I am also very concerned about public markets
大圍街市即將安裝冷氣系統，但西貢市中心街市又如何？
Tai Wai Market will be installed with an air - conditioning system soon but what about the market in Sai Kung Town?
在保護瀕危動物方面，政府終於在今年落實立法禁止象牙買賣。
As for protection of endangered animals the Government finally set out to legislate for banning ivory trade during the year
展望將來，我希望政府能關注其他瀕危物種被製成中藥作銷售用途的問題，例如我們所知的穿山甲鱗片、熊膽和象牙等仍被當作中藥在港出售，供市民購買，但這些生物現時亦瀕臨絕種。
Looking forward to the future I hope that the Government will also address the problem of some endangered species being used for manufacturing Chinese medicines for sale . For instance some Chinese medicines that are available for sale in Hong Kong contain pangolin scales bear biles and ivory which are all body parts of endangered animals
地區存在反對的聲音，因此我希望無論是實施廢物徵費和推動"四電一腦"，局長須先確保市民真的有信心局方可以解決這些問題，然後才向本會提交有關法案。
There is opposition in the community and so I hope that whether it be implementation of the waste charging or promotion of proper recycling of regulated electrical equipment the Secretary must first convince the public that the Bureau has the ability to resolve these issues before submitting the relevant bills to this Council
除塑膠廢物外，我已多次在立法會會議上提及有關微膠粒的問題。
Apart from the issue of plastic waste I have repeatedly brought up the issue of microplastics in the Council meetings
全球許多地方已立法禁售含微膠粒的產品，但香港何時才會立法規管？
Many countries have legislated against the sale of products containing microplastics but when will similar regulation be implemented in Hong Kong?
在推動使用電動車方面，我們爭拗了很長時間，當其他城市正在增設電動車快速充電器及鼓勵人們使用電動車之際，香港卻似乎背道而馳。
We have been debating on the promotion of electric vehicles for a long time . When more quick chargers for electric vehicles are provided in other cities to encourage the use of electric vehicles but Hong Kong seems to be running contrary to this trend
我認為，局長應向市民交代當局就此方面的整體政策為何？
I think the Secretary should explain to the public the overall policy of the Administration in this respect
另一方面，我們知道有很多食物被白白浪費，因此早前曾建議本港制定食物捐贈法，令捐贈者不必擔心有人在進食其所捐贈的食物後發生任何問題時，須負上法律責任。
On the other hand we know that a lot of food has been wasted . A proposal was put forth earlier to legislate for food donation in Hong Kong to discharge food donors from the legal liabilities that might arise from recipients falling sick after consuming the donated food
第三個辯論環節結束。
The third debate session ends
現在進入第四個辯論環節。
We now proceed to the fourth debate session
辯論主題是"宜居城市"。
The debate theme is Liveable City
主席，這個辯論環節主要關乎改善民生，當中涉及衞生及醫療服務、食物安全、勞工議題、安老、婦女及兒童事務，以及一些福利事務等。
President this debate session mainly concerns improvement of livelihood involving health care services food safety labour issues elderly services women and children affairs some welfare affairs and so on
香港市民其實已經有3年不能選擇70元至100元的內地活雞。
In fact Hong Kong people have been deprived of the option to buy a Mainland live chicken for 70 to 100 for already three years
究竟有多少香港市民在日常生活因為價錢問題而不能吃活雞，或他們每月的開支需要增加多少才能負擔吃活雞？
How many Hong Kong people have not been able to eat live chickens because of the high prices? . By how much must their monthly expenditures be increased before they can afford to eat live chickens?
大家都知道大閘蟹是香港的傳統食物，亦是國家的傳統食物。
I also want to talk about hairy crabs which we all know are a traditional food in Hong Kong as well as in our Country
其實現時已有一批國內的大閘蟹經轉口來到香港，應該有2萬多隻蟹，我對此表示歡迎。
In fact a batch of Mainland hairy crabs have already arrived in Hong Kong via a transit place . I welcome the arrival of this batch of more than 20 000 hairy crabs
為何國內的大閘蟹需要經過轉口才可以運到香港？
Why do Mainland hairy crabs need to be imported to Hong Kong via a transit place?
大家平日吃大閘蟹也大概知道價錢，4至5兩重的大閘蟹大約100多元一隻，今年4至5兩重的大閘蟹動輒要200多元一隻。
As consumers of hairy crabs we probably have a rough idea of their prices . A hairy crab weighing four to five taels used to be priced at upwards of 100 . This year the price for a hairy crab of similar weight will cost more than 200
轉口經過一個地方，空運費用貴了兩三倍，當地政府檢測食物安全需要多花兩三萬元手續費，為何要轉口？
Importing hairy crabs via an intermediary transit place air transport costs will be increased two or three folds . Governments of the transit places will incur additional costs of 20,000 to 30,000 for food safety tests . Why is it necessary to import hairy crabs via a transit place?
我們始終有一天要升天，如果局方為了市民有無限的生命而令我們的選擇越來越少，局長，我會走出來反對。
We will all go to heaven some day . If the Bureau wants the people to live an eternal life and as a result give us less and less choices I will tell the Secretary that I will come forward to oppose this
我大膽指出，超過90%的香港市民未能分辨甚麼是電子煙和加熱煙，並將兩者混為一談。
I dare to bet that over 90 % of Hong Kong people cannot distinguish between electronic and HnB cigarettes . They are confused about these two being the same thing
香港的吸煙人口幾乎是全世界最低，只接近10%。
The smoking population of Hong Kong close to 10 % of the total population is among the lowest in the world
不過，加熱煙和電子煙是兩個完全不同的產品，小朋友連傳統香煙也買不起，加熱煙每包售價七八十元，他們怎會買得起呢？
However HnB cigarettes and electronic cigarettes are two completely different products . Children cannot even afford to buy traditional cigarettes let alone HnB cigarettes which are priced at 70 to 80 a packet?
在施政報告發表之前，這兩群善心的朋友提出要禁煙，但他們說的是電子煙，為何現在連加熱煙也混為一談，兩者根本是不同的產品？
Before the delivery of the Policy Address these two groups of kind - hearted friends of ours advocated forbidding cigarettes but their target was electronic cigarettes . Why are HnB cigarettes muddled up? . These two are actually different products
如何衡量這個價值觀呢？
How do we assess the values? . Face mask tests are another example
好像測試面膜，有些面膜產品可能有10種好處，有些面膜產品可能只是補濕，如果只比較補濕程度，兩者可能一樣，價格低的可以做到補濕，價格高的補濕效果也可能差不多，只是那些產品可能還有其他好處，例如有修緊皮膚的功效。
Some face mask products may have 10 strong points while some others may only help users moisturize . If only the level of moisturization is compared the two groups of products may be the same . While the lower - priced products are effective in moisturization the moisturizing efficacy of the higher - priced ones may be more or less the same but the higher - priced products may have other functions like tightening skins
對於市民來說，聽罷這些測試便覺得價格越高越不好，越高科技可能越不好，但其實對於一些營商朋友未必公平。
People will conclude after hearing about these tests that the higher the prices the worse the quality will be and the higher the technology level the worse the product will be . Such conclusion may not be fair to some of our friends in the business sector
所以，我想消委會進行這類比較時要解釋清楚，因為有些產品可能不止一個目的或優點，例如某把刀可能既美觀，手感又好。
I hope that when the Council conducts this kind of comparisons it will also give clear explanations . This is because some products may have more than one function or strong point . For example a knife may look beautiful and feel good to the hand as well
對於香港的勞工政策，市民希望有更高薪酬、更多假期，我也非常希望可以這樣，但如何令香港的競爭力不被削弱，在香港營商有生存空間？
I believe he will use most of his time to talk about this area . Regarding the labour policy of Hong Kong people hope that they will have higher wages and more leave days . This is what I also hope for but how will these not weaken our competitiveness so that there is room of survival of for doing businesses in Hong Kong?
如何可以與周邊國家、城市或地區比較，而不被淘汰，以免我們越來越落後？
How can we be comparable with the countries cities and places around us without being eliminated or falling behind?
香港競爭力排名越來越低，完全是因為我們的政策。
Our competitiveness ranking is on the decline a direct result of our policy
勞工政策是一個非常重要的因素，因為做生意不是要考慮租金，便是要考慮人工成本及貨品成本。
Labour policy is a very important factor . The factors which need to be taken into account when doing business range from rental manpower and goods costs
代理主席，在我回應施政報告有關運輸交通政策的部分之前，我想先回應林健鋒議員剛才的一些評論，我覺得他把事實說出來，是相當有勇氣及識見的。
Deputy President before I respond to the transport policies in the Policy Address I would like to first respond to some comments made by Mr Jeffrey LAM . I consider him quite courageous and insightful because he has told the truth
他說當年興建新機場，有些人說這是"大白象"工程，工程受到千夫所指。
He said that when the new airport project was proposed it faced a thousand accusing fingers and some even said it was a white elephant project
今天回望過去，足證新機場的興建對香港非常重要。
When we look back today the construction of the new airport has proven to be of great importance to Hong Kong
我完全同意他的說法。
I fully agree with what he said
他接着用這個例子來支持"明日大嶼"計劃。
Then he used this example to justify his support for the Lantau Tomorrow Vision project
"接着在立法局投票，亦有民主建港協進聯盟及香港工會聯合會等建制派議員投下反對票，反對興建新機場。
Subsequently when the proposal was put to a vote at the then Legislative Council pro - establishment Members such as Members belonging to the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB and the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions voted against the construction of the new airport project
所以，我認為林健鋒議員今次說出事實是仗義執言。
For that reason I consider that Mr Jeffrey LAM has spoken up for justice by telling the truth this time around
而當年投票支持興建新機場的，主要是我們民主派的議員，因為我們認為興建新機場對香港長遠的經濟非常重要，所以支持有關的計劃。
In those years those who voted in support of the construction of the new airport were mainly Members of the pro - democracy camp . Because we considered the construction of the new airport was important to the long - term economic development of Hong Kong therefore we supported the relevant project
代理主席，回歸正題，說回交通的議題，局長也正在等候我評論這議題。
Deputy President I now return to the subject under discussion which concerns transport policies as the Secretary is waiting for my comments on this subject
第一，我留意到施政報告說希望沙田至中環線盡快通車。
First I note that it was said in the Policy Address that the Shatin to Central Link SCL should be commissioned as soon as possible
我希望政府放下這種想法。
I hope the Government will put aside this thought
我不是說通車不重要，但更重要的是工程質素，不要急於通車而罔顧現時工程質素"水浸眼眉"的問題。
I am not saying that the commissioning of SCL is not important but the project quality is more important . We should not strive for an early commissioning in disregard of some pressing problems with project quality
大家看到沙中線的醜聞連連不絕，包括剪短鋼筋、工程不依圖則等，不斷爆出數之不盡的醜聞。
Everyone can see that the SCL project has been plagued with a series of scandals include the cutting short of steel bars and failing to conform to the technical drawings
現在政府應該要做的，就是查清楚整個沙中線工程質量問題究竟有多嚴重，做好相關補救措施，徹查事件的原因及哪些人要負責。
Such scandals have been exposed one after another . What the Government should do now is to grasp the seriousness of the quality problem of the SCL project to put in place remedial measures to thoroughly look into the causes of such incidents and to determine the people who should be held responsible
有關工程當然要繼續進行，但要確保這些問題查究得一清二楚，確保工程嚴密監督，按香港法例及施工準則進行及完成，不要急就章地令沙中線盡快通車。
While the SCL project should continue we should ensure that these problems must be looked into in every detail and the project will be carried out and completed under close supervision and in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong as well as project criteria instead of pressing for a hasty commissioning of the SCL project
第二，代理主席，我想談談政府現在提出要三隧分流的問題。
Secondly Deputy President I wish to speak on the Governments proposal for rationalization of traffic distribution among the three tunnels
首先，我們認為紅磡海底隧道及東區海底隧道的加幅過高，很多九龍東及新界東慣常使用東隧的市民，都認為加幅太不合理。
First of all we consider that the fare increases for the Cross Harbour Tunnel CHT in Hung Hom and the Eastern Harbour Crossing EHC are too high and many Kowloon East and New Territories East residents who often use EHC consider the increase unreasonable
其次，我們亦擔心這樣的方案最終亦會令西區海底隧道擠塞。
Besides we are also concerned that the proposal will ultimately cause traffic congestion at the Western Harbour Crossing WHC
再者，我們認為政府就三隧分流的方案有少許"頭痛醫頭，腳痛醫腳"，因為香港現時面對的問題，不單止是那3條隧道出現交通擠塞。
Moreover we consider that the Governments proposal for rationalization of traffic distribution among the three tunnels is more or less a stop - gap measure . As a matter of fact what Hong Kong is facing is more than the traffic congestion of three tunnels . I have pointed out many times in the past that if we look at the figures the growth in the number of private cars in the past decade was too rapid
我過去曾多次指出，細看數據，過去10年私家車輛的增長太急速，2006年有360,000部登記車輛，到了2017年已經上升至552,000部，增幅超過50%，但市區道路的增長只有個位數字的百分比，而車輛是無窮無盡的增長。
In 2006 there were 360 000 registered private cars in Hong Kong . By 2017 there were 552 000 an increase of more than 50 % . However the growth in urban roads was only a single digit percentage while the number of vehicles has kept on growing infinitely
好像陳帆局長的一句名言，"年青人喜歡買車，讓軀殼及靈魂可以遊走一下"。
Just as the famous remark by Secretary Frank CHAN Young people like to buy cars so that they can let their bodies and souls wander around
政府一早便應知道大埔、粉嶺、上水究竟有多少新增人口，應能預計到有多少新增車流量，多少跨境車流量。
The Government should have known very early about the population growth in Tai Po Fan Ling and Sheung Shui . It should have been able to make projections on the flow of vehicular traffic and cross - boundary vehicular traffic
市民大眾的經驗認為，政府的規劃是延誤多年才進行，做完規劃，由施工到完工，還有很長的時間。
Experience tells us the Governments planning has been delayed for many years before the project is proposed which will take quite a long time from the planning stage to project commencement and completion
因此，政府提出來的數據不是不值得參考，但我們不會以那些數據作為金科玉律，不會覺得一定是百分之一百準確。
For that reason we are not saying that the Governments data are of no reference value but we will not treat them as the golden rule and we will definitely not consider them 100 % accurate
最後，我記得行政長官林鄭月娥明明在她的競選政綱中表示，會拿港鐵公司的股息來補貼市民的交通開支。
Lastly I remember the Chief Executive Carrie LAM stated in her election manifesto that she would consider using the Governments dividends from the MTR Corporation to relieve the fare burden of commuters
我不是指政府故意說謊以欺騙立法會，向我們申請撥款時便誇大事實，但事實上讓市民看出，政府預測的數字總是不斷下調。
I am not saying that the Government has deliberately told lies or exaggerated the facts when it submitted funding requests to the Legislative Council in order to cheat us . However the public have seen the consistent downward adjustments in the Governments forecasts
就這些情況，我們市民大眾是看在眼內的。
These are too obvious to the discerning eyes of the public
我們希望政府不要把自己推斷的數字定為神聖不可侵犯，最有權威，不應這樣做。
We hope that the Government should not regard its projections the most sacrosanct and authoritative . It should not be the case
我也想跟黃偉綸局長談談未來的優化升降機資助計劃，希望他着緊一點，因為坊間有些圍標集團已經蠢蠢欲動。
I also wish to talk to Secretary Michael WONG about the Lift Modernisation Subsidy Scheme . I hope that he would be more attentive to that because many bid - rigging syndicates in the community are ready to take advantage of the opportunity
此外，就樓宇維修等圍標問題，市區重建局需要多些資源，盼望黃局長能多給予支援。
In addition regarding the bid - rigging problems concerning the maintenance of buildings the Urban Renewal Authority URA needs more resources and I thus hope that Secretary WONG can provide URA with more support
這樣便能令整個樓宇維修業界的整體操守和素質提高，造福香港市民。
This will help the entire building maintenance sector to raise its ethical and quality levels which will benefit the people of Hong Kong
最後，我想在此感謝市建局的很多前線同事，協助了不少屋苑業主，向他們提供了不少寶貴意見，尤其在如何防範圍標方面，近年來協助了不少小業主。
Finally I wish to thank the frontline staff of URA for providing valuable advice and help to many home owners of housing estates particularly in how to prevent bid - rigging practice . They have really helped a lot of small property owners in recent years
希望政府的多個政策部門能繼續為香港社會和市民努力。
I hope that various government Policy Bureaux will continue to work hard for the Hong Kong community and the public
坦白說，香港的經濟奇跡的確由英國留下的制度帶來。
Frankly speaking the economic miracle of Hong Kong was indeed due to the system left by the British administration
香港社會整體效率高，固然是因為當年作為英國殖民地的時期，英國為香港創造了一定程度的文明和經濟奇蹟，但正所謂"敗也蕭何"，這也是香港民生問題的癥結所在。
The high overall efficiency of Hong Kong society can be attributed to the fact that the British administration has created a certain degree of civilization and an economic miracle for Hong Kong during the its colonial era but this key to our success also causes our undoing which is also the crux of our livelihood problem
但是，在回歸後，當香港人自己成為這個地方的父母官時，是否仍應繼續以這套方式管理香港呢？
Nevertheless after the reunification when Hong Kong is now administered by Hong Kong people should we continue to adopt the same pattern to administer Hong Kong?
數十年前，我們的父母可能是為了逃避戰亂或其他原因來到香港，他們可能總有一天會落葉歸根，有一種要重返故鄉，光宗耀祖的心態。
Our parents came to Hong Kong several decades ago perhaps to flee the turmoil of wars or for other reasons and they may harbour the thoughts of an eventual return to their places of origin and a glorious homecoming one day
但是，在現今的世代，大家已經在香港定居，這也是香港人對香港政府有不同訴求的最核心原因。
However people of the current generations have already settled down in Hong Kong and this is also the core reason why we Hong Kong people have different expectations of their government
我相信這是最主要的原則問題。
I believe this touches on a matter of major principle
