在未來的日子，我們有大量時間討論今次"反送中"運動衍生出的問題，或背後其他值得深思的問題。
In the days to come we have an abundance of time to discuss the problems generated by this anti - extradition to China movement or other questions needing reflection
在此，我只希望簡單地說，經濟現正面對極大壓力，這固然與社會上人心不安有直接關係，但其實自去年年底，同一個政府的同一批官員已告訴大家，經濟開始會面臨壓力。
Here I only wish to say simply that the economy is now facing tremendous pressure and this of course is directly related to the anxiety experienced by the people . But then actually since the end of last year the same batch of officials in the same Government have told us that the economy was going to come under pressure
為何大家好像忘記了這些說話和警告，只是簡單地把手指指向街頭的人？
How come we have seemingly forgotten these comments and warnings and put an accusing finger to the people in the street simply?
這是絕不公道的。
This is absolutely unfair
由於這群猴子怕被人打，一向敢怒而不敢言，每次也會乖乖地把十分之一的果實上繳。
As the monkeys were afraid of the assault they dared not voice out their discontent and instead always submitted one tenth of their fruits cooperatively
有一天，有一隻年紀輕的小猴子突然如夢初醒，問大家："山上那些果樹是否這個主人所種植的呢？
One day a realization suddenly dawned on a young infant . It asked the rest of the troop Are those fruit trees atop the hill planted by the master?
"小猴子接着說："既然如此，我們這麼辛苦替他工作，又要害怕被他暴打和勞役，其實是否很愚蠢呢？
The infant said subsequently If so is it actually very stupid for us to work hard for him while fearing his brutal beating and slave - driving? . Such a remark made by the infant opened the eyes of the troop
"小猴子一言驚醒夢中猴，當晚這群猴子便把困住牠們的籠子毀爛，取去倉 庫裏面的所有果實，走入深山，從此不再回來，而牠們這個所謂的主人沒多久亦餓死了。
The monkeys broke the cages which encircled them that evening took all the fruits from the warehouse went into a mountain and never came back . And this so - called master died of starvation soon afterwards
主席，這個故事，我其實不是說給猴子聽的，而是說給人類聽的。
President I do not tell this story to the monkeys but to the humans
我不知道人類是否聽得明白，我只是希望他們知道，劉伯溫留給我們的智慧值得深思細嚼。
I am not sure if the humans are able to understand it . I only wish they would know that the wisdom passed down by LIU Bowen deserves our careful thoughts
我特別多謝法案委員會主席梁繼昌議員和各委員審議《條例草案》。
I would like to extend thanks in particular to Mr Kenneth LEUNG Chairman of the Bills Committee and members for scrutinizing the Bill
財政司司長在本年度政府財政預算案建議寬減2018-2019課稅年度75%的薪俸稅、個人入息課稅及利得稅，每宗個案以2萬元為上限。
The Financial Secretary proposed in this years Budget a 75 % reduction of salaries tax tax under personal assessment and profits tax subject to a cap of 20,000 per case for the year of assessment 2018 - 2019
建議可惠及約205萬名納稅人或企業，讓他們節省約189億元稅款。
The proposal may benefit about 2.05 million taxpayers or enterprises saving them about 18.9 billion in taxes
我們於今年3月提出《條例草案》，以落實財政預算案措施。
We introduced the Bill in March this year in order to implement the Budget measures
為應對極具挑戰的內外經濟環境，財政司司長在今年8月中宣布一系列措施，當中包括將稅務寬免百分比由75%提升至100%，每宗 個案的上限則維持在2萬元。
In response to the highly challenging internal and external economic environment the Financial Secretary announced a series of measures in August this year including an increase of the tax concession rate from 75 % to 100 % while retaining the ceiling of 20,000 per case
優化措施可令約143萬名納稅人或企業額外節省約18億4,000萬元稅款。
The enhanced measures may save an additional 1.84 billion in taxes for about 1.43 million taxpayers or enterprises
我稍後會提出相關的全體委員會審議階段修正案，以落實進一步寬免建議。
I will propose the relevant Committee stage amendments later on to give effect to the proposal concerning further tax concessions
法案委員會就《條例草案》作出了深入的討論，並普遍支持有關建議。委員亦對政府提出的全體委員會審議階段修正案不持異議。
The Bills Committee having had an in - depth discussion on the Bill generally supports the proposal and Members have no objection to the Committee stage amendments put forward by the Government
至於議員在法案委員會審議或在這兩天的辯論過程中，提出有關寬減措施的意見，我會作一個扼要的回應。
With regard to the views expressed by Members on the tax reduction measures during the Bills Committees deliberations or during the debate in the past two days I will make a brief response
首先，個別委員建議政府向過往曾納稅但由於收入減少或沒有收入而未能受惠於2018-2019課稅年度一次性稅務扣減的人士或企業，提供一次性退稅。
For starters individual members have suggested that the Government should provide a one - off tax refund to persons or enterprises that have paid tax in the past but will not benefit from the one - off tax reductions for the year of assessment 2018 - 2019 due to lowered or no income
政府對此建議有所保留。因為某課稅年度的一次性稅務扣減須按納稅人在該課稅年度的最終應繳稅款計算。
The Government has reservations about this suggestion because the amount of one - off tax reduction for a year of assessment is based on the final tax liability of a taxpayer for the year of assessment
曾在某一年度繳稅的納稅人在下一年度沒有收入或收入減少，原因眾多，不一定代表他們面對財政困難。
There are many reasons for taxpayers who paid tax in a certain year to have lowered or no income in the following year which does not necessarily mean that they are faced with financial difficulties
而且亦有議員提到，這種做法會導致某一課稅年度出現雙重扣稅的情況。
Moreover some Members have mentioned that this practice will result in double deductions of tax for a particular year of assessment
此外，有委員提出容許須繳稅的法團及非法團業務把某一會計年度錄得的虧損轉回，以抵銷過往年度的應評稅利潤。
In addition some members have suggested allowing losses made in an accounting year to be carried backward for setting off against the assessable profits of tax - paying corporations and unincorporated businesses in the previous years
然而，有關建議會令政府要退回已入帳的稅款，令稅收可能出現難以預料的波動。
However the suggestion may result in the Government having to issue tax refunds thus causing drastic and unpredictable fluctuations in tax revenue
況且現時《稅務條例》已容許企業無限期把當前課稅年度的虧損結轉，以抵銷隨後課稅年度所得的應評稅利潤，此安排應有助企業處理虧損，對投資者仍具吸引力。
Moreover currently the Inland Revenue Ordinance already allows losses of enterprises of a year of assessment to be carried forward without time limit for setting off against assessable profits derived in the subsequent years of assessment . This arrangement remains attractive to investors as it can help enterprises to manage their losses
剛才亦有議員提出，政府除提升稅務寬免的百分比外，應該把每宗個案 2萬元的寬免上限調高，使更多納稅人和企業受惠。
Earlier on some Members have also suggested that apart from raising the tax concession rate the Government should raise the ceiling of 20,000 per case so as to benefit more taxpayers and enterprises
事實上，根據政府的進一步寬免建議，受惠的納稅人和企業佔總數七成，即約143萬，當中更有133萬納稅人或企業在2018-2019課稅年度因而不需交稅。
In fact according to the Governments proposal on further concessions the taxpayers and enterprises benefiting from it numbering about 1.43 million account for 70 % of the total number . Among them 1.33 million will as a result be even spared from paying any tax for the year of assessment 2018 - 2019
我認為現在建議的進一步寬免措施已能惠及最需要照顧的納稅人和企業。
In my view the currently proposed measures for further concessions can already benefit taxpayers and enterprises most in need of help
我們會繼續密切留意最新經濟情況，在有需要時制訂應對措施。
We will continue to keep a close watch on the latest economic conditions and formulate counter - measures when necessary
主席，立法會通過《條例草案》後，稅務局發出的稅單將反映這項稅款寬減。
President upon the passage of the Bill the Inland Revenue Department will reflect the reductions in tax demand notes to be issued
我懇請各位議員支持通過《條例草案》，讓我們能早日實施惠及納稅人的措施。
I implore Members to support the passage of the Bill to enable our early implementation of the measures which will benefit taxpayers
主席，我稍後將動議修訂《2019年稅務條例草案》第5條及詳題，修正案內容已載列於早前發給各位委員的文件內。
Chairman I will shortly move that clause 5 and the long title of the Inland Revenue Amendment Bill 2019 be amended as set out in the paper circulated to Members
財政司司長在今年8月15日宣布一系列措施，以應對極具挑戰的內外經濟環境，當中包括將2018-2019課稅年度薪俸稅、個人入息課稅及利得稅的稅務寬免百分比由75%提升至100%，而每宗個案的 上限則維持在2萬元。
On 15 August 2019 the Financial Secretary announced a package of measures to counter the challenging external and local economic environment . One of the measures is to increase the tax reduction of salaries tax tax under personal assessment and profits tax for the year of assessment 2018 - 2019 from 75 % to 100 % while retaining the ceiling of 20,000 per case
上述措施可惠及約143萬名納稅人或企業，讓他們額外節省約18億4,000萬元稅款。
About 1.43 million taxpayers or corporations will benefit from a further saving of 1.84 billion
為落實進一步稅務寬免，我們建議修訂《條例草案》第5條，將稅項扣減的訂明百分率由75%提升至100%。
To implement the enhanced tax reduction we propose that clause 5 of the Bill be amended so that the specified percentage for tax reduction is increased from 75 % to 100 %
因應《條例草案》第5條所作的修訂，我們亦建議修訂《條例草案》的詳題，以反映《條例草案》旨在落實政府在2019年提出的稅務寬免。
In response to the amendment made to clause 5 we also propose that the long title of the Bill be amended to reflect that the Bill seeks to implement the tax reduction proposals made by the Government in 2019
主席，我懇請各位委員支持政府提出的修正案。
Chairman I implore Members to support the Governments amendments
主席，《2019年稅務條例草案》現在進入全體委員會審議階段，討論第1至5條及詳題的修訂，我支持有關的修正案。
Chairman Council now enters the Committee stage of the Inland Revenue Amendment Bill 2019 the Bill to consider the amendments to Clauses 1 to 5 and the long title . I support the amendments
但是，提出《條例草案》的目的，是要"撐企業、保就業、紓民困"，老實說，正如我在《條例草案》恢復二讀時所說，現時的措施只是一帖鎮痛藥，並不能夠徹底解決問題。
But the purpose of the Bill is to support enterprises safeguarding jobs relieving peoples livelihood . Frankly like what I said at the resumption of the Second Reading of the Bill this measure is only a painkiller . It cannot solve the problem once and for all
徹底解決的方法是平息今次的暴亂，讓市民能夠安居樂業。
The once - and - for - all solution is to end the civil disturbances and let people live and work in peace again
就今次的修正案，我有些技術性的問題，希望局長可以細心聆聽我的發言。
I have some technical questions about the amendments to the Bill and I hope the Secretary can listen carefully to my speech
我所計算的數字便是這樣，在扣除免稅額後，以個人計算，其收入要超逾223,500元。
This is my calculation . After deducting all relevant allowances a person under personal assessment shall have to earn more than 223,500
此外，是次稅務優惠對企業亦有寬免。
Besides enterprises also have tax concession
在公司利得稅方面，便要分為有法人即有限公司，與非法人即無限公司或個人公司或東主。
As far as profits tax is concerned companies are classified into those with a legal person and those without a legal person
老實說，一般受薪階層繳交的稅款不會太多，這百多萬的得益者，我相信絕大部分均未能夠盡享這2萬元的稅務優惠，如果局長接納我剛才的說法，採取這樣的措施，得益的人便會更廣，得益的效果亦會更大。
Frankly an average wage - earner does not need to pay a large sum of tax . I believe the majority of the 1 million - odd tax reduction beneficiaries cannot fully enjoy the 20,000 tax reduction . If the Secretary agrees with my view expressed just now and take the measures concerned more people will be benefited and the effect will be greater
其實，商界最明白這個道理，因為大家在自由的地方賺錢投資，特別感受良深。
In fact the business sector understands that principle very well . They especially have stronger feelings as they are making profits and investments in a place of freedom
何君堯議員發言時，談到甚麼智慧之後，便提到我的母校香港中文大學， 指8月迎新營聚集的數百名學生是"曱甴"，你剛才沒有處理他的這項言論。
In the speech after talking about some kind of wisdom Dr Junius HO mentioned my alma mater The Chinese University of Hong Kong CUHK . He said that the few hundred students gathering in the orientation camp in August were cockroaches and you have not dealt with this remark
正如林卓廷議員剛才所說，這種將人非人化的語言，能否登上這個大雅之堂？
As Mr LAM Cheuk - ting just asked can this kind of dehumanized language be used within this Chamber?
我是聞所未聞的，我從未聽過在立法會議事廳裏，有議員稱呼香港市民為"曱甴"。
I have never before heard of such remarks here . Within the Chamber of the Legislative Council I have never before heard of any Member referring to the Hong Kong citizens as cockroaches
如果主席不就着這個問題作出一項清楚的裁決，我肯定不只是何君堯議員會在議事廳裏這樣說，其他所有"撐警"的議員也會一個接着一個的，在議事廳裏稱呼在街上為我們的未來拼命的香港市民為"曱甴"，我相信你亦不會感到意外。
If President does not make a clear ruling on this issue I am sure Dr Junius HO will not be the only Member making this remark in this Chamber but all the other Members in support of the Police will one after the other in this Chamber also refer to these Hong Kong citizens who risk their lives in the streets to fight for our future as cockroaches . And I believe you will not be surprised to see this picture
我聽到建制派的同事說了很多說話，例如市民覺得警察很可憐、市民覺得很害怕、市民覺得政府應盡快止暴制亂......他們好像仍在幻想自己真的代表大多數香港人的心聲般。
I heard a lot of voices from the colleagues of the pro - establishment camp saying that the public feel that the Police are very miserable the public are very scared the public feel that the Government should stop violence and curb disorder as soon as possible they seem to be still dwelling in the dream of really representing the majority of Hong Kong citizens
我真的未看過，可能在1989年，香港撐北京學運時才看到八九成市民是一條心的，但保皇黨是否看得到呢？
I have really not come across such a high rate . Perhaps in 1989 when Hong Kong was in support of the student movement in Beijing that a consensus was reached among 80 % or 90 % of the respondents . However can the royalists see such a result?
如果仍然看不到，還以為用他們的招數，叫警察在街上多發射數千枚催淚彈、多拘捕數千名年青人，繼續縱容警察的暴力......
If they still turn a blind eye to this and think that their approach of asking the Police to fire a few thousand more cans of tear gas and arrest a few thousand more young people continuing to condone police brutality
正因為由立法會到政府官員、北京也不肯面對一個事實，便是清晰不過的民意。
Why will it be doomed? . It is because from the Legislative Council to government officials or to the Beijing authorities no one is willing to face the fact namely the crystal clear public opinions
錢，我們知道有；樓，我們也很想住，我們也想生活好一些。
In terms of money we know that we have some . In terms of housing we also want to have our own home and live better
我們心甘情願，把自己的2萬元退稅集合成一項基金。現在真的有很多地方需要用錢，無論是打官司、醫病或支援。
We are willing to pool each of our tax refund of 20,000 to form a fund which can really be used in many ways where money is needed no matter in lawsuits medical treatment or other support
我更要警告特區政府，千萬不要以為有這2萬元退稅的措施，或之後陸續前來財務委員會申請撥款的小恩小惠，便可叫我們令議會運作比較暢順，不要"拉布"。
Furthermore I have to give a warning to the SAR Government . It should not have the wishing thinking that after introducing this measure of granting a tax rebate of 20,000 or the forthcoming funding applications to the Finance Committee for some petty favours to the public this Council can operate more smoothly without any filibustering
硬件的立法會回復原狀，是否代表香港可以運作正常呢？
The hardware of the Legislative Council has been restored . But does it mean that Hong Kong can operate normally?
我們永遠也不要忘記2019年7月1日立法會的情況，希望主席今晚回去看看當天的相片，看看在香港年青人心目中，其實有多討厭我們這個立法會。
We will never forget what happened to the Legislative Council on 1 July 2019 . I hope that tonight President can have a look at the pictures of that day and see how much the young people of Hong Kong detest the Legislative Council
在樓上聽到我發言的同事，大家儘管繼續在全體委員會爭拗，多爭拗兩三星期。
Those colleagues who are listening to my speech upstairs may simply continue arguing in the committee of the whole Council for another two to three weeks
主席，早晨。
President good morning
我今早發言支持政府《2019年稅務條例草案》。
This morning I rise to speak in support of the Inland Revenue Amendment Bill 2019 the Bill of the Government
現在當局提出一項修正案，把稅務寬免的百分比由75%提高至100%，但每宗個案的上限維持在2萬元。
Now the authorities have introduced an amendment to increase the percentage rate of reduction from 75 % to 100 % while retaining the ceiling of 20,000 per case
這項優化措施可令143萬名納稅人或企業額外節省18億4,000萬元稅款。
This enhanced measure will enable 1.43 million taxpayers or enterprises to benefit from a further saving of 1.84 million
現時，很多市民均陷於水深火熱之中，很多人的"飯碗"快將打碎，單靠這些措施並不足夠。
Many people are now in dire straits and may soon lose their rice bowls so the implementation of these measures alone will not be sufficient
我們難得有機會就政府運用公共財政來紓困或刺激經濟進行辯論，我亦要談談我的一些看法。
Since we seldom have the opportunity to debate the Governments public finance approaches in implementing relief measures and stimulating the economy I would like to share some of my views
第一，即使沒有6月9日開始的"修例風波"，本港的經濟亦已步入衰退，動力一直在減弱。
First even without the turmoil arising from the Amendment Bill that started on 9 June the economy of Hong Kong has been slowing down and the impetus of growth on the wane
近數月，我們知道政府推出了兩輪紓困措施。
In the past couple of months we know that the Government has introduced two rounds of relief measures
第一輪，財政司司長推出191億元的紓困措施，第二輪是最近宣布的，涉及20億元。
In the first round the Financial Secretary introduced a number of relief measures costing 19.1 billion and in the second round which was announced recently it incurs 2 billion
那些紓困措施是有針對性的，例如專為運輸業提供的燃油補貼。
Those relief measures are targeted measures such as the fuel cost subsidies provided specifically for the transport sector
因此，主席，我非常認同特區政府所言，首要工作是止暴制亂。
Hence President I fully agree with the view of the SAR Government that the most important task is to stop violence and curb disorder
如果旅客在外面聽到香港不安全，他們便不敢前來，連我的校友也不敢來進行field study，會議也全部取消。
If visitors hear overseas that Hong Kong is unsafe they will not dare to come . My alumni are also afraid of coming here for a field study and all the meetings have been cancelled
幸好，主席知得最清楚，我們高爾夫球會的Golf Open今年堅持繼續，也可拉回一些旅客。
Fortunately as the President knows well our golf association insists on staging the Golf Open this year which will win back some visitors
本地人不敢外出，怕出街遇路障或遇到黑衣人兇神惡煞。
Local residents dare not go out fearing running into road blocks and rancorous people clad in black
主席，我昨晚也有外出，出席香港印度商會的印度新年酒會，行政長官也有出席。
President I went out last night to attend a cocktail reception hosted by the Indian Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong for the Indian New Year which the Chief Executive also attended
換言之，利民紓困的措施，每人2萬元退稅，增加百分比至100%，我是支持的，但政府這數天提出的"加碼"的針對性措施，我認為並不足夠。
In other words I will support measures for relieving peoples burden tax reduction of 20,000 and the increase of the tax reduction percentage rate to 100 % . Yet for the top - up targeted measures proposed in the last couple of days I think they are inadequate
此外，對外宣傳不足夠，令市民安心方面也不足。
Regarding external promotion and ensuring peace of mind of the public the efforts are inadequate
不過，最重要的是政府真的能夠提出有效而有力的措施，真正做到止暴制亂，因為這個假借民主自由的運動，不會自行停止的，這些人不會停止，他們已經玩到失控。
Yet the most important point is that the Government can introduce effective and powerful measures to really achieve the purpose of stopping violence and curbing disorder for this movement carried out on the pretext of democracy and freedom will not stop voluntarily . These people will not stop as they have been carried away and lost their head already
司長，請你快快幫忙特首，想個辦法停止這情況，否則，我們這座美好城市的百年繁華，便真的會在今屆政府手中終結。
Financial Secretary please quickly help the Chief Executive to think of ways to quell the situation . Otherwise the prosperity of this beautiful city which we have enjoyed for a century will be ended in the hands of the Government of the current term
他們如何能夠得益和受惠呢？
How can they benefit from it?
我們建議政府舉辦一些"香港人遊香港"的本地團，最少能夠創造一些就業機會。
We suggested the Government to organize some local tours of Hongkongers exploring Hong Kong which can at least create some job opportunities
我認識很多的士司機。
I know many taxi drivers
但除此以外，政府也可以考慮之前提出的三隧分流方案中的一項措施，便是回程的士不管使用哪條隧道也劃一收費。
In addition to that the Government can consider one of the measures proposed regarding the rationalization of traffic distribution among the three road harbour crossings that is standardized toll for taxis on the return journey regardless of the tunnel used
我不知道為何要這樣做。
I do not know why it is carried out in such a way
現時他們真是"餐搵餐食餐餐清"，從事飲食業的沒有工作，導遊和領隊又因而沒有旅行團而"零開工"。
Now they are really leading a hand - to - mouth existence―those working in the catering industry have no work and tour guides and tour escorts have zero job due to the lack of tour groups
可否協助導遊和領隊，製造就業機會？
Can it offer assistance to tour guides and tour escorts and create job opportunities for them?
可否在這段時間為他們提供失業補助？
Can an unemployment subsidy be given to them in this period of time?
工聯會建議提供失業補助金，但多次公布紓困措施也不見這個安排，沒有工作的基層市民可以怎樣？
FTU suggests the provision of an unemployment grant which however has not been seen among the relief measures announced numerous times . What can the jobless grass roots do?
剛才有很多同事也說，面對現時的經濟問題，政府當然要推出紓困措施，但更重要的是維持社會的治安和秩序。
Just now many Honourable colleagues have also said that in the face of the current economic problems the Government must introduce relief measures but it is more important to maintain law and order in society
我不知道局長是否覺得自己負責財經，所以覺得我剛才的發言與他不相干？
I am not sure if the Secretary thinks that as he is in charge of finance and so my speech made just now is irrelevant to him
不過，我想說，其實身為問責官員，任何範疇都理應與他有關。
Nevertheless I wish to say that as an accountability official any area should rightly be relevant to him
香港社會發生甚麼事都理應與他有關，因為他們有機會署任，假如特首辭任，便會由司長署任，然後由局長署任司長。
Anything happening in Hong Kong should rightly be relevant to him because he may be given an acting appointment . If the Chief Executive resigns the Secretaries will take up the acting appointment and then the Directors will take up appointment as acting Secretaries
其實任何一位問責官員看到現時的亂局，都應該站出來發聲。
Indeed any accountability official seeing the present chaos should come forward and make their voices heard
無論就本身的工作範疇，或就整體的社會秩序，都要發聲。
Irrespective of their own portfolios they ought to make their voices heard regarding the general social order
不過，這數個月來市民問得最多的問題，就是政府去了哪裏？
That said in these past several months the questions people have asked the most are Where has the Government gone?
他這麼"有型"，與"勇武"會面，那麼"傷店"怎麼樣？"傷店"是受傷的"傷"。
Smart though he was to have met with the valiant how about the injured shops?
被打的市民怎麼樣？
How about people having been beaten up?
但是，市民聽完那些紓困 措施後，覺得今次又沒有自己的份。
However after learning the contents of those relief measures people found out that they have been left out again this time
我真的很"多謝"這個政府，搞到香港現在變成這樣。
I really thank this Government for turning Hong Kong into such a state
政府無所作為，市民有甚麼依靠？
And so people are silenced . With the inaction of the Government what can people rely on?
只等政府每個月說有紓困措施，便幫到市民？
Can people get help simply waiting for the Government to announce relief measures month on month?
政府是否有勇氣和魄力出來發聲？
Does the Government have such courage and strength to make its voice heard?
有沒有問責官員有膽出來有魄力地發聲，說一句公道話？
Are there accountability officials brave enough to make some fair words with boldness?
主席，我支持《條例草案》，但我更希望政府除了這項修訂外，可以做多些動作，協助社會止暴制亂。
President I support the Bill but I all the more hope the Government can undertake more work in addition to such an amendment to help stop violence and curb disorder in society
我在節目中提到，我早前曾與特首及財政司司長會面，希望他們今年可以在合適的時間向 每名市民派發1萬元，這方案罕有地獲得很多觀眾致電支持，但亦有觀眾表示不應特別優待某些行業。
I mentioned in the programme that earlier on I had met with the Chief Executive and the Financial Secretary hoping they could disburse 10,000 to each member of the public at an appropriate time this year . Surprisingly this proposal received many viewers support over the phone but some viewers also said that preferential treatment should not be particularly given to certain industries
這1萬元只是讓市民略為舒一口氣，而在合適的時間讓市民獲得這筆款項，我相信可以帶動香港整個經濟鏈，因為香港現時整體經濟環境仍然很差。
This 10,000 would just let members of the public breathe a sigh of relief . The timely provision of this sum of money to the public I believe can stimulate the whole economic chain in Hong Kong because Hong Kongs overall economic condition is still poor now
對於零售界和飲食業界，最重要的是租金問題，我知道政府已牽頭向房協和香港房屋委員會的租戶提供半年租金減免，但很多商戶租用的是私人物業。
To the retail and catering sectors rent is the most crucial problem . I know the Government has taken the lead to provide the tenants of HKHS and the Hong Kong Housing Authority with rental concessions for six months but many shop operators have rented private premises
最近兩個月，我和張宇人議員已游走多間大發展商及業主，包括香港鐵路有限公司和領展，我們只能懇求及希望他們能寬免租戶的租金，與他們共渡時艱。
In the last two months Mr Tommy CHEUNG and I have visited a number of large developers and landlords including the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL and Link REIT . We could only implore them to offer rental concessions to tenants tiding over the difficult times together
我希望業主在這個艱難時刻能夠同舟共濟，幫助業界渡過今次的難關。
I hope landlords can pull together at such difficult times and help the sectors ride out this predicament
主席，我剛才提到的支援其實只是治標而不治本。
President the support mentioned by me just now can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause of the problem
正如大家都知道，做生意的先決條件是社會安寧，社會寧靜，生意才能發展。
As we all know the prerequisite for doing business is peace in society . It is only when society is peaceful that business can develop
所以，止暴制亂才是特區政府現時最需要做的工作，亦希望政府盡快加大力度處理此事。
For this reason what the SAR Government needs to do most urgently now is to stop violence and curb disorder . I also hope that the Government will expeditiously step up its efforts in handling this matter
有些議員、社運人士和警員均曾在這次事件中遇到暴力或恐怖的情況，所以，我希望香港市民要理性一點，暴力是不能解決問題的。
Some Members social activists and police officers have encountered violent or terrible scenes in this incident . Hence I hope the people of Hong Kong will be rational . Violence cannot solve any problem
如果今天想用暴力迫 使政府或持不同政見的人士做某些事情，日後出現更強烈的暴力時，又怎麼辦呢？
If they want to resort to violence to force the Government or people holding a different political view to do something today what if stronger violence emerges in future?
主席，關於修訂《逃犯條例》所引發的風波，我一直有留意新聞。
President I have all along paid attention to the news about the turmoil triggered by the amendment exercise of FOO
