例如新加坡有一項《退休與重新僱用法令》、日本就有《高年齡者僱用安定法》，在社區又有銀髮人力資源中心，安排60歲以上人士就業。
For example in Singapore there is the Retirement and Re - employment Act and in Japan there is the Act on Stabilization of Employment of Elderly Persons and in their local communities there are human resource centres for silver - haired people to arrange employment for people aged 60 or more
但是，在香港基本上是零支援，試問又如何叫長者再就業呢？
However in Hong Kong basically there is zero support so how can we call on the elderly people to take up employment again?
如果政府有誠意促進銀髮就業，我希望它先跟僱主協商，制訂措施、"鋪"好路，不要令我們的長者朋友擔驚受怕，或者奔波勞碌地找工作。
If the Government is sincere in promoting employment among silver - haired people I hope it will hold discussions with employers properly with a view to formulating measures and paving the way properly rather than subjecting our elderly people to anxiety and worry or giving them a hectic time looking for work
當然，政府跟我們在理解法定退休年齡上有一個很大的差距。
Certainly the Governments understanding of the statutory retirement age and our understanding of it are very different
過去的勞工及福利局局長將法定退休年齡理解為，工作到這個年齡便須停下來，不可再工作，如果再工作，就是犯法。
The former Secretaries for Labour and Welfare all understood the statutory retirement age as the age at which one must stop working . No more working is allowed and if anyone works any further this is a violation of the law
但是，我們在參考新加坡和日本的法例後的理解是，剛好相反，法定退休年齡是保障你可工作到某個年齡，在這個年齡之前，不應被解僱，而超過這個年齡也可以繼續工作。
However our understanding after drawing reference from the laws in Singapore and Japan is that quite the contrary the statutory retirement age guarantees that one can work until a certain age and before reaching this age one should not be dismissed and one can also continue to work beyond this age
所以，在法定退休年齡上，政府和民間有一個大相逕庭的看法。
Therefore on the statutory retirement age the view of the Government and that of the public are vastly different
主席，根據資料，年長工人的薪金一般較低。
President according to information generally speaking the salaries of elderly workers are lower
在2015年，年長工人的每月收入中位數只有1萬元，較整體工作人口的收入低33%。
In 2015 the median monthly income of elderly workers stood at 10,000 only and was 33 % lower than the income of the overall working population
因此，對長者，尤其是對60歲至64歲長者的支援，應該更全面，以惠及他們的一般生活。
For this reason the support for elderly people in particular for elderly people aged between 60 and 64 should be more comprehensive so as to benefit their living in general
此外，一些申領長者福利的合資格年齡，其實也不必"一刀切"定為65歲，因為60歲至64歲的初老長者其實也有一定的需要。
In addition on the eligibility age for applying for welfare for the elderly in fact there is no need to set it across the board at 65 because young elderly persons aged between 60 and 64 also have their needs
因此，我希望現有的社會福利措施能夠涵蓋他們，例如長者醫療券、長者生活津貼、"生果金"及長者綜援等。
In view of this I hope the existing social welfare measures such as Elderly Health Care Vouchers the Old Age Living Allowance fruit grant elderly CSSA etc can also embrace them
長者咭也可以涵蓋60歲至64歲的長者。
The Senior Citizen Card can also be extended to elderly persons aged between 60 and 64
政府事實上是可以在行政、金額，以至受助範圍等方面，訂定一些級別或不同分級，這樣就不會一下子構成很大的財政負擔，但又可以支援這群初老長者，比起現時任何支援也沒有，一定是更好。
In fact it is possible for the Government to prescribe some grades or classes in terms of administration the amounts of money and even the coverage . In this way no sudden heavy financial burden will be created yet this group of young elderly persons can also be supported so this will definitely be better than the present situation of providing no support whatsoever
主席，最後我想提出的是，不是每個長者也想工作至身體勞損、支撐不了才停下來。
President lastly what I wish to say is that not all elderly people want to work until their bodies are strained or until they cannot bear it anymore
有些長者也希望早點退休，享受一下真正充實的生活，例如現在有很多長者做義工。
Some elderly people also want to retire earlier and enjoy truly full and meaningful lives . For example many elderly people are serving as volunteers nowadays
我參加很多活動，最傑出的長者，或者服務時數最多的義工，很多時候也是長者朋友，既可過簡單而且慢活的生活，又可以幫助別人。
I have taken part in many activities and often the most outstanding people or volunteers who have performed the most hours of service are elderly people . On the one hand they can lead a simple life at a slow pace and on the other they can help other people
因此，政府在支援就業以外，其實也 應該提供資源去舉辦合適的活動，令初老長者即使真的退休，也可以退而不休，有更多機會服務社會。
For this reason apart from providing support in employment the Government should also provide resources for organization of more suitable activities so that when young elderly persons really retire they can still remain active and have more opportunities of serving society
主席，大家都聽聞過瑞士有一間時間銀行，其實這個概念十分好，現在只有在將軍澳有一項"織福長者互助發展計劃"正在落實。
President Members have all heard of a timebank in Switzerland . In fact this concept is very good but at present only one such programme 織福長者互助發展計劃 is implemented in Tseung Kwan O
但是，我們認為這類計劃值得政府廣泛推行，而不單是在某個小區推行，因為很多長者都希望累積一些服務時間，當他們年老需要服務的時候，可以用這些時間來換這些服務。
However I think it is worthwhile for the Government to implement this kind of programmes extensively instead of confining it to just a small local community because many elderly people hope to accumulate some service hours so that they can use the hours to exchange for services when they are old and need this kind of services
主席，當然，除了資源、培訓或就業培訓外，我們的長者朋友也可以參加很多鄰里互動活動或社區保姆照顧服務等，這些也可以增加他們做義務工作的機會。
President of course apart from resources training and employment training our elderly people can also take part in many types of interactive neighbourhood activities home - based child care service etc . All of these can increase their opportunities of undertaking volunteer work
我的同事會就個別對60歲至64歲的長者支援再作補充，我會留待在大家辯論後，再發言回應，多謝主席。
My colleagues will make additional comments on the support for elderly persons aged between 60 and 64 and I will wait until Members have debated the motion before giving my response
這些修訂主要是在我的議案上再作補充，豐富了議案的內容和擴闊了涵蓋範圍。
Their amendments mainly seek to supplement my motion enrich its content and expand its scope
此外，李議員亦建議降低申請成為長者健康中心會員的年齡、讓60歲至64歲長者免費接種疫苗，以及加強牙科和聽力服務，這些都是涉及基層醫療的建議，增加對長者的照顧，工聯會會支持。
Moreover Prof LEE also proposed lowering the age for enrolment as members of elderly health centres allowing elderly persons aged between 60 and 64 to receive free vaccinations as well as enhancing dental and audiological services for them . These are all recommendations on primary health care seeking to enhance elderly care services to which the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU will render support
梁美芬議員的修正案提及成立專責小組研究發展銀髮產業，這也是工聯會過去主力推動的政策。
Dr Priscilla LEUNGs amendment mentions setting up a task force to study the development of silver hair industries which is a policy FTU has been advocating strongly
正如我所說，政府不能在沒有支援和措施的情況下，便說要建立銀髮市場。
As I have said the Government cannot establish a silver hair market without any support and measures
所以，對於有關建議，我們認為政府必須加大力度去做。
Hence we consider the Government must dial up the vigour of its efforts at this
雖然張超雄議員的發言內容主要關於調高長者綜援的申請年齡問題，沒有具體談及他的修正案內的建議，但是，我查看其修正案的文字本內容，其實他只是對我的議案稍作修改。
Although Dr Fernando CHEUNGs speech mainly focused on the upward adjustment of the eligibility age for elderly CSSA in his speech and did not specifically mention the proposals in his amendment upon reading the text I reckon that he has only made minor modifications to my motion
我提出要立法禁止職場年齡歧視行為，而他則在後面多加一句尤其是職場年齡歧視，所以我亦不反對這項建議，因為我把範圍寫得闊一點，而他只是在我的建議範圍內稍為再集中一點，大家的想法其實是一致的。
I propose enacting legislation against age discrimination in the workplace while he adds including age discrimination in workplace at the end . I will not object to this because while I wish to cover a wider scope he seeks to be more focused within the scope of my proposals with the same objective in mind
至於檢討中高齡就業計劃的成效，以及以社會保險形式設立全面退休保障制度，這些都是我們一直提倡並希望政府盡快做的事。
As for reviewing the effectiveness of the Employment Programme for the Elderly and Middle - aged and establishing a comprehensive retirement protection system in the form of social insurance we have all along been advocating and urging the Government to take expeditious actions in this regard
最後，梁志祥議員在修正案中建議政府研究立法禁止職場年齡歧視行為，並透過各種措施，宣傳就業平等的信息。
Lastly Mr LEUNG Che - cheungs amendment proposes studying the enactment of legislation against age discrimination in the workplace and publicizing the message of equal employment through various measures
我相信政府不是沒有做，只不過是""做。
In my opinion it is not the case that the Government has done nothing just that it is not making enough efforts
其實平等機會委員會的報告早已經要求政府研究立法，但政府至今仍然拖拖拉拉，置若罔聞。
In fact the report of the Equal Opportunities Commission has long since requested the Government to conduct such a study but the Government has been procrastinating and turning a deaf ear to it
不過，我也明白政府在立法前要進行研究，諮詢也是必經的階段。
However I understand that studies and consultations are the essential steps before the enactment of legislation
而梁議員的其他修訂，例如將在職長者薪俸稅減半，豁免長者就自住物業繳付差餉和地租等，都是好的建議。
Other proposals in Mr LEUNGs amendment such as reducing by half the salaries tax on the working elderly and exempting elderly retirees from the payment of rates for their self - occupied properties are also good suggestions
主席，香港現時不設法定退休年齡，亦沒有全民退休保障，因此，不少僱員也十分擔心將來的退休生活。
President in Hong Kong there is neither a statutory retirement age nor universal retirement protection presently . Hence many employees are very much worried about their retirement life in future
曾有機構的調查指出，香港人退休平均需要632萬元，這個金額對大部分"打工仔"而言也是天文數字，難怪調查發現只有少於兩成的受訪者認為自己能夠在60歲退休，而逾半的受訪者預計年過65歲仍然要繼續工作，未能退休。
As pointed out in the survey of an organization people in Hong Kong will need 6.32 million on average to support their retirement life which is an astronomical sum to most of the wage earners . No wonder the survey findings indicate that only 20 % of the respondents consider they can retire at the age of 60 and more than half 53 % of the respondents foresee that they will have to continue working after the age of 65
這正正反映香港現時的勞動力情況，長者僱員有上升的趨勢。
This precisely reflects the current situation of the labour force in Hong Kong where the number of elderly employees is on the rise
根據立法會秘書處的文件顯示，勞動人口中的長者人數在過去10年顯著飆升198%，至2017年的126,500人，而其勞動人口參與率亦在同期由5.2%倍增至11%。
According to the paper prepared by the Secretariat the number of elderly persons in the labour force has shown a remarkable increase of 198 % over the past decade to 126 500 in 2017 along with a doubling of the respective labour force participation rate from 5.2 % to 11.0 %
這是香港人口老化和欠缺退休保障的必然結果，我相信未來勞動人口的長者比例和勞動參與率仍會繼續上升。
This is an ineluctable result in the face of an ageing population and a lack of retirement protection in Hong Kong and I believe that the proportion of elderly persons in the labour force and their labour force participation rate will continue to rise in the future
問題是：我們的社會有為這個轉變作好準備嗎？
At issue is Has the community made preparations for this change?
更遺憾的是，政府在今年2月提高長者綜合社會保障援助的申請年齡，從原來的60歲改為65歲，我認為這是對長者勞動人口的極大諷刺。
It is even more regrettable that in February this year the Government raised the eligible age for application for the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance for the elderly from 60 to 65 . I think this is the greatest irony to the elderly labour force
主席，在長者尋找工作方面，曾有報道指出，他們到勞工處尋找工作並不十分順利，其中一個原因是需要利用電腦作配對，亦因工作種類有限。
President as for elderly job seekers there were reports stating that it was not easy for them to land jobs through the Labour Department LD . One of the reasons is that the job matching process is done by the computer and another reason is the limited types of job openings available
長者使用電腦配對需要職員協助，報道指出在2018年有11,941名50歲以上的人士登記使用勞工處的就業服務，獲聘的有2,044宗，成功率是17%；其中，60歲或以上而獲聘的只有444人。
The elderly need the assistance of staff in using the computer for job matching . According to a report in 2018 there were 11 941 persons aged 50 or above registered for the employment services under LD with 2 044 placements secured and a successful rate of 17 % . Among these placements only 444 persons are aged 60 or above
此外，政府一直強調有中高齡就業計劃，但審計署在剛於4月發表的報告指出，合資格並就計劃提交初步申請的就業個案數目偏低，於2014年至2018年間，在2,660宗合資格的就業個案中，平均只有565宗申請計劃，佔整體就業個案的21.2%。
Regarding the Employment Programme for the Elderly and Middle - aged EPEM which the Government often stresses the Audit Commission pointed out in the report released in April that the number of eligible placements with preliminary applications for EPEM was on the low side . In the period between 2014 and 2018 among the 2 660 eligible placements there was only 565 applications for EPEM on average which accounts for 21.2 % of the overall placements
可見60歲至64歲或以上的長者求職不容易，政府的政策配套並不足夠。
It is thus evident that it is not easy for elderly job seekers aged between 60 and 64 to find employment and that the support policies implemented by the Government are inadequate
當中，針對長者就業的中高齡就業計劃，政府應盡快檢討成效，尋求改進。
Among these is the EPEM which targets at the employment of the elderly and the Government should review the effectiveness of the programme as soon as possible and seek improvement
代理主席，最後，正因香港缺乏全民退休保障，而貧富懸殊日益嚴重，不少基層市民面對收入有限，缺乏儲蓄，根本無從計劃退休安排。
Deputy President lastly given the absence of universal retirement protection in Hong Kong and the widening gap between the rich and the poor many grass roots are facing the problem of limited income and lack of savings which precludes them from making any planning for retirement
一方面，我們要求政府更好地協助長者面對晚年生活，例如為未能就業的長者提供生活照顧；另一方面，政府應為想繼續投入勞動市 場的長者提供工作保障。
On the one hand we request that the Government should provide better assistance to the elderly in facing their life in their twilight years . On the other hand the Government should provide employment protection for elderly employees who wish to join the labour market
我們更期望政府應推行全民退休保障，讓香港的長者得以安享晚年。
We earnestly hope that the Government will implement universal retirement protection to enable the elderly in Hong Kong to lead a decent life in their twilight years
我們當然看到，今天長者在香港的確是命苦的，我認同鄺俊宇議員所說，很多人到60歲便會"被退休"。
We certainly see that nowadays elderly people are really leading a hard life in Hong Kong . I agree with what Mr KWONG Chun - yu said . Many people are forced to retire at the age of 60
或者我首先也要申報，我已經62歲，可能與這項議案的內容直接有關，雖然單是談論，不會涉及甚麼利益，不過，說到"被退休"，我便是一個例子。
Perhaps I should make a declaration first . I am already 62 years old . I may be directly related to the content of this motion though a mere discussion will not involve any interest
當你工作至60歲，你所屬的機構或老闆要求你退休，其實你別無他選。
Nevertheless speaking of being forced to retire I am one such example . In employment when someone reaches the age of 60 and the organization in which he is engaged or his boss requests him to retire he actually has no other choice
如果60歲至64歲的人找我們幫忙申請綜合社會保障援助，這群長者其實已工作至五癆七傷；如果他們身體壯健，仍然有精力能夠工作，當然寧願工作。
Having such qualifications as a social worker and scholar he nonetheless takes the lead in exploiting the elderly . If people aged between 60 and 64 seek our help with applications for the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance CSSA actually this group of elderly people have already suffered from numerous infirmities and pains because of work . If they are in good health and still fit to work certainly they would rather remain in employment
很簡單，他們從雲端上看下來，發現香港人口老化，勞動力減少，那麼多人在60歲"被退休"，這樣的話，若每個人均申領綜援可不行，一定要令他們外出工作。
It is very simple . Looking down with their heads in the clouds they find that the Hong Kong population is ageing the labour force has decreased and many people are forced to retire at the age of 60 . Such being the case there will be trouble if everyone applies for CSSA
他們不再是需要照顧的人，突然變成在綜援政策下的健全人士，需要工作，而綜援的申請門檻要提高，資產上限要更低，政府每月提供的金額要更少，津貼則全部取消。
They are no longer people who need to be looked after . They suddenly become able - bodied persons under the CSSA policy and need to work . The application threshold for CSSA has got to be raised
是沒有邏輯的，因為在綜援制度下，以前如果你未夠60歲，你便是健全人士，包括小孩，全部不合資格。
There is no logic because in the past under the CSSA system people under 60 would be regarded as able - bodied including children . All of them were ineligible
他們有成員在行政會議，在這裏亦佔大多數。
They have members in the Executive Council and they are also the majority here
"'西環'吹雞"嗎？
Did the Western District blow the whistle?
政府官員自己有沒有去過這些私營安老院？
Have the government officials ever visited these private homes for the aged themselves?
他們做得出嗎？
Are they brazen enough to do so?
代理主席，首先我要多謝郭偉强議員提出這項議案，讓我們有機會為60歲至64歲長者的福利發聲。
Deputy President first of all I would like to thank Mr KWOK Wai - keung for proposing this motion so that we can have the opportunity to speak out for elderly people aged 60 to 64 about their welfare
首先，議案題目是"全方位支援60歲至64歲長者"，全方位支援不是派福利這麼簡單。
First the title of the motion is Supporting elderly persons aged between 60 and 64 on all fronts
剛才有同事說，因為香港沒有完善的退休保障計劃，令60歲已經離開工作崗位的長者其實他們不是長者這群退休人士面對一些生活問題，需要各方面的支援。
Supporting them on all fronts means not simply disburshing welfare . Just now some Honourable colleagues said that due to the absence of a comprehensive retirement protection scheme in Hong Kong elderly people aged 60 who have retired from their jobs―actually they are not elderly people―this group of retirees face livelihood problems and need support on all fronts
但正如我剛才所說，這不單指福利政策，而是無論就業、醫療和生活等各方面，我們都應該向他們提供支援，我稍後會討論醫療方面。
As I have just said this involves more than the welfare policy . Instead we should provide them with support in all aspects such as employment health care and livelihood . I will talk about the health care aspect later on
現在香港支援長者的醫療計劃全部劃了線，以65歲或以上為限，60歲至64歲的退休人士完全享用不到這些醫療計劃。
At present health care schemes for the elderly in Hong Kong have all set the age threshold at 65 or above . Retired people aged 60 to 64 are not eligible for these health care schemes
很多我在地區接觸到的60歲至64歲退休人士問我："我已經退休，政府說我60歲要退休，我被視為長者，但為何我不合資格享受長者福利呢？
Many retired people aged 60 to 64 who I have met in the districts asked me I have retired . The Government said I have to retire at the age of 60 . I am considered an elderly person yet why am I not eligible for elderly benefits?
根據香港現時的醫療政策，對長者的醫療關顧由65歲開始，但65歲的人士身體機能可能已經退化。
Under the current health care policy in Hong Kong elderly people may enjoy health care benefits from the age of 65 but the physical function of people aged 65 may have already deteriorated
根據世界衞生組織的標準，80歲的長者應該有20隻健康的牙齒，不包括補過的牙和假牙。
According to the standard devised by the World Health Organization WHO people aged 80 should have at least 20 healthy teeth excluding filled teeth and dentures
還有很多其他方面，現時都提倡保健，避免市民身體需要治療時才使用公營醫療系統，我們想做好基層醫療推廣，所以，醫療福利不能劃線規定65歲以上人士才可享用，而應該提前至60歲。
Preventive health care is promoted in many other places to dissuade people from using the public health care system only when treatments are needed . We wish to pursue the promotion of primary health care hence the age threshold for receiving health care benefits should be set not at 65 but lowered to 60
你可否幫我問問政府，既然叫60歲至64歲人士繼續工作，那麼學校可否不要要求我們60歲退休？
Can you ask the Government whether schools can stop telling us to retire at 60 since the Government asks people aged 60 to 64 to continue working?
可否延後校工和校務處職員的退休年齡呢？
Can the retirement age of janitors and school office staff be extended?
但是，政府的政策不是這樣，有些職位限65歲退休，有些職位限60歲退休。
But this is not the policy of the Government . The retirement age of some positions is 65 whereas it is 60 for some others
在此只解釋一點，我的修正案的第八項說的是"研究"，務求為長者提供多一個選擇。
I will explain just one point here . In item 8 of my amendment I said that a study be conducted and the objective is to provide an additional choice for the elderly
我在發言時也清楚說明，希望政府一併研究在香港覓地，建設較優質的退休生活區。
In my speech I also said clearly that I hope the Government will also conduct a study on identifying sites in Hong Kong for the development of quality living areas for retirement
我只是建議多提供一個選擇、機會，讓不同消費者及不同年齡的長者按個人負擔能力，選擇適合自己的退休生活方式。
I only suggested the provision of a choice or opportunity to enable different consumers and elderly persons of different ages to choose the suitable retirement lifestyle for themselves according to their affordability
主席，我發言支持政府全方位支援60歲至64歲長者。
President I rise to speak in favour of the Governments support for elderly persons aged between 60 and 64 on all fronts
由於今天的發言時間有限，我想集中討論近期因政府提出調高長者綜合社會保障援助年齡門檻而引起爭議的長者就業問題。
Given the speaking time limit today I wish to focus my discussion on the recent controversy over elderly employment caused by the Governments proposal for raising the age threshold for elderly Comprehensive Social Security Assistance CSSA
對於長者就業，我認為核心的問題應該是讓他們有自由選擇就業與否的權利，政府要尊重他們的意願而非通過一些不合乎人性的政策強迫他們就業。
Concerning elderly employment I think the core issue should be giving them the right to freely choose whether or not to work . Instead of forcing them to work through some inhumane policies the Government should respect their wishes
作為一個有承擔的政府，應該為有意就業的長者提供支援，例如原議案中提及的立法禁止職場年齡歧視、為長者提供專門的就業計劃及再培訓課程、鼓勵僱主聘請長者等，同時積極檢討及改善現時中高齡就業計劃的成效，營造長者就業的友善環境，令他們可以順利投入勞動市場。
As a government with commitment it should offer support to elderly persons who wish to work such as enacting legislation against age discrimination in the workplace providing designated employment programmes and retraining courses for the elderly and encouraging employers to employ the elderly as stated in the original motion while proactively reviewing and enhancing the effectiveness of the existing Employment Programme for the Elderly and Middle - aged and creating a friendly environment for elderly employment thereby facilitating their entry into the labour market
至於沒有就業意願的長者，政府亦要尊重其選擇，並為他們提供足夠的退休保障，讓他們在大半生拼搏後，晚年可以生活無憂。
For elderly persons who do not wish to work the Government should also respect their choice and accord to them adequate retirement protection so that they can lead a carefree life in their twilight years after a lifetime of hard toil
然而，現時政府的施政全無人性，通過強硬專橫的手段，不理社會反對和長者意願，強迫60歲至64歲的長者就業，難怪引起社會公憤。
But the existing policies of the Government are downright inhumane . Taking a high - handed approach it has forced elderly persons aged between 60 and 64 to work notwithstanding opposition in the community and the wishes of the elderly . No wonder a public outcry has been induced
主席，以一名60歲至64歲的長者來說，保守估計大約經歷了40多年的辛勞生涯，為香港社會繁榮作出貢獻。
President for an elderly person aged between 60 and 64 it can be conservatively estimated that he has been through about some 40 years of toil contributing to the prosperity of Hong Kong
人到老年，我認為政府應該讓他們選擇自己想過的生活，尤其是一些身體不適的長者，他們在年老時希望能夠從前線退下，過安樂的生活。
I think the Government should allow them to choose the kind of life they want for their autumn years . In particular those elderly persons who are out of shape hope to step down from the front line for a peaceful and secure life in their later years
若然如此，政府應協助他們渡過晚年生活，但很可惜，現時的制度極不近人情，聲稱"IQ爆棚"的勞工及福利局局長大放厥詞，竟然說當大家也可活到120歲時，60歲便只是中年。
In that case the Government should offer them assistance in their twilight years . But regrettably the existing system is extremely inhumane . The Secretary for Labour and Welfare claimed to have an extraordinarily high IQ has boldly made a nonsensical remark going so far as to say that when people live to the age of 120 60 is just middle age
此話一出，社會一片譁然，政府涼薄至此，公然虧待長者，應該引以為耻！
Such a remark stirred a public outcry in no time . With such a mean Government blatantly mistreating the elderly we should call it a disgrace!
我認同原議案及部分修正案提出的一些內容，例如政府應該調整不同長者福利的申領年齡門檻，讓60歲至64歲的長者受惠，避免出現福利真空期，讓有意退休的長者能夠獲得足夠的社會保障，安享晚年。
I agree with some of the points stated in the original motion and some of the amendments such as requesting the Government to adjust the age requirements for various types of elderly welfare for the benefit of elderly persons aged between 60 and 64 to avoid a welfare void so that elderly persons who wish to retire can be offered adequate social security to lead a comfortable life in their twilight years
舉例而言，長者咭、長者牙科服務、長者醫療券、長者生活津貼、高齡津貼等均應該將合資格申領年齡下調至60歲。
For example the eligibility age for the Senior Citizen Cards elderly dental services the Elderly Health Care Vouchers the Old Age Living Allowance the Old Age Allowance etc . should be lowered to 60
同時，政府應立即撤回提高領取長者綜援年齡門檻的決定，讓60歲或以上的長者均可申領。
Meanwhile the Government should immediately withdraw the decision to raise the age threshold for elderly CSSA so that elderly persons aged 60 or above may also apply
但政府偏偏不做，寧願傾盡萬多億元的儲備推行效益成疑的大規模填海方案，"倒錢落海"也不願意做一些更能改善民生的工作。
Yet the Government has chosen not to do so . It would rather go for a large - scale reclamation proposal that is going to exhaust its reserve of some 1 trillion dumping money into the sea with no guaranteed result than do something which will better improve peoples livelihood
其實眾所周知，昨天辯論時也提到"林鄭"上台以來一直聲稱以改善民生為己任，但可惜最終是"講一套、做一套"，而我們現在看到的成效簡直是笑話！
As mentioned in the debate yesterday we are actually aware that since her assumption of office Carrie LAM has been claiming that she is committed to improving peoples livelihood . But regrettably she has eventually failed to walk her talk and as we can see now the effectiveness is nothing but a joke!
