究竟香港比20年前更好還是更差？
Is Hong Kong better or worse than it was 20 years ago?
即使40位建制派有7分鐘，甚至70分鐘發言時間，但無論他們怎麼說，也不會令香港市民相信，現時的香港比20年前更好。
Even if 40 pro - establishment Members have seven minutes or even 70 minutes to speak whatever they say will not convince Hong Kong people that Hong Kong today is better than it was 20 years ago
尤其是與5年前比較，梁振英上任後，香港的政治環境和核心價值備受破壞，港共政權操控香港，中聯辦干預香港內政。
In particular when compared with the situation five years ago after LEUNG Chun - ying assumed office the political environment and core values of Hong Kong have been undermined . The Hong Kong communist regime manipulated Hong Kong and the Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in the HKSAR intervened in Hong Kongs internal affairs
這也是有目共睹的。
This is also obvious to all
最後我想說，完美的極權之所以存在，甚至永垂不朽，並不是因為極權者的拳頭有多硬，而是在乎人民對極權管治的容忍程度有多大。
Lastly I would like to bring out one point the existence or even perpetual existence of a perfect totalitarian regime lies not with how high - handed the measures but to what extent people tolerate the totalitarian rule
部分人民甚至進行自我審查，猜想極權者不喜歡甚麼，為何不開心，恐怕激怒他，即使是合情、合理、合法的事情也不敢做，不敢談論。
Some people even conduct self - censorship guessing what the totalitarian ruler dislikes and why it is unhappy fearing that he may be infuriated . They even do not dare do or discuss about reasonable and legitimate things
所以，我仍然要求各位市民走出來，七一維園見。
Hence I still ask members of the public to come out; let us meet in the Victoria Park on 1 July
讓我們一起表達我們的訴求及過去20年的不滿，還有我們對港共政權的不滿，以及對中國政府沒有落實"一國兩制"的不滿......
Let us express our aspirations and dissatisfactions in the past 20 years as well as our dissatisfactions with the Hong Kong communist regime and the failure of the Chinese Government in implementing one country two systems
陳議員，發言時限到了。
Mr CHAN your speaking time is up
代理主席，現時香港與動物有關的法例非常零碎，散落於不同的條例中。
Deputy President at present animal - related provisions in Hong Kong are fragmentary and are incorporated in various ordinances
我們經常聽到的《防止殘酷對待動物條例》，是用來懲罰虐待和虐殺動物的兇徒的，但最高刑罰只是監禁3年及罰款20萬元。
The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Ordinance which we often hear of seeks to punish perpetrators who abused and killed animals but the maximum penalty is only imprisonment for three years and a fine of 200,000
我們認為這些法例的力度不足，而執行的政府部門亦各自為政，過於零散，經常令施暴者可以逍遙法外。
We consider that these ordinances are not sufficiently effective and government departments enforcing the law take piecemeal actions without any coordination . As a result the perpetrators often go scot - free
早在諮詢期間，不少動物團體除了表達對法例的不滿外，亦指出香港現時欠缺保護動物的整體政策，而即使已有法例，亦未必有足夠的人手執法。
During the consultation period many animal groups had expressed dissatisfaction with the legislation and pointed out that a comprehensive policy was not in place to protect animals in Hong Kong . And even if the relevant legislation was enacted there might not be sufficient staff to take enforcement actions
幸好今天提出議案的鄺俊宇議員和修正案的多位議員皆認同，政府現時在保護動物權利方面仍有不足之處。
Fortunately the mover of todays motion Mr KWONG Chun - yu and a number of Members who have proposed amendments all agreed that the Government has presently not done enough to protect animal rights
總括各議員的意見，都是希望加強對虐待動物的罰則、嚴格監管動物繁殖市場、設立"動物警察"及加強漁農自然護理署動物管理中心的透明度。
In sum Members wish to raise the penalties for animal cruelty tighten the control of animal breeding facilities establish animal police and enhance the transparency of the Animal Management Centres AMCs of the Agriculture Fisheries and Conservation Department AFCD
我相信不論是建制派或民主派，對於這些意見也應該沒有太大分歧，希望政府可以盡快推行。
I believe both the pro - establishment camp and the democratic camp have similar views hoping that the Government will take expeditious actions
對於作為負責統籌與動物相關政策的漁護署，最容易做到的4個字是"人道毀滅"。
For AFCD which is responsible to coordinate animal - related policies the easiest task is euthanization
根據漁護署向立法會提交的資料顯示，漁護署在2015-2016年度花費3,360萬元作人道毀滅的開支，當中涉及2,421隻狗及696隻貓。
According to the information provided by AFCD to the Legislative Council the expenditure on euthanization was 33.6 million in 2015 - 2016 which involved 2 421 dogs and 696 cats
相反地，在動物政策中最難推行的是"捕捉、絕育、放回"計劃。
On the contrary the most difficult task under the animal policy is the Trap - Neuter - Return programme
我相信有關注這項計劃的議員都知道，雖然我們已討論多年，但真正實施的地區卻只有兩個，而長洲的範圍更縮減了。
I think Members who are concerned about this programme should know that although the issue has been discussed for many years the programme has only been implemented in two districts and the coverage in Cheung Chau has even been reduced
如果將用人道毀滅的撥款用作推廣"捕捉、絕育、放回"計劃，我認為將可令更多動物免於被殺害。
If the provision earmarked for euthanization can be used to promote the Trap - Neuter - Return programme I think more animals can escape from being killed
當然，"捕捉、絕育、放回"計劃只是針對狗隻，而我們保護動物的政策都是針對狗多於貓，所以我希望可以盡快推行貓的晶片制度。
Of course the Trap - Neuter - Return programme targets solely at dogs and our animal protection policy also focuses more on dogs than cats I therefore hope that the Government will expeditiously introduce the microchipping system to cats
現時民間也有為貓而設的"捕捉、絕育、放回"計劃，我希望局長可以替我們向康樂及文化事務署反映，有時候貓義工為貓隻進行絕育後，會把牠們放回公園，如果牠們不是對社區造成太大滋擾的話，我希望大家可以善待牠們。
At present the community has also implemented a Trap - Neuter - Return programme for cats so I hope the Secretary will relay to the Leisure and Cultural Services Department that sometimes volunteers may return the neutered cats to the parks . If cats have not caused too much nuisance to the community I hope that people will treat them well
陳克勤議員在修正案中提出的要求其實很卑微，只是要求議員和團體可以定期視察，我很難想象漁護署可以拒絕這項要求。
The request raised by Mr CHAN Hak - kan in his amendment is indeed very humble he urges that Legislative Council Members and organizations be allowed to regularly inspect AMCs . How could AFCD turn down this request?
立法會的事務委員會曾經參觀過一次，即使懲教署也有太平紳士作周期性巡視，所以如果可以周期性地讓議員巡視動物在領養中心內有否被善待，我覺得應該有助增加透明度。
A panel of the Legislative Council visited AMCs once . Even the Correctional Services Department would arrange Justices of the Peace to visit prisons on a regular basis why cant visits be made to AMCs? . Therefore if we could arrange regular visits of Members to AMCs to see if the animals are well - treated this would help enhance the transparency
最後，關於動物友善政策的問題，本來有很多事情可以討論，包括動物乘搭交通工具及放寬屋邨養狗的問題。
Last but not least with regard to animal - friendly policies the discussion may cover many other issues which include the travelling of pets on public transport and relaxing the restriction on pet - keeping in public rental housing PRH estates
事實上，在這個星期，立法會的研究動物權益相關事宜小組委員會亦曾討論這些問題，但兩個小時的討論卻沒有很清楚的結論，而政府亦沒有指出其政策方向讓我們繼續跟進。
As a matter of fact these issues have been discussed by the Legislative Council Subcommittee to Study Issues Relating to Animal Rights earlier this week . However after discussing for two hours the Subcommittee failed to reach any concrete conclusion . Nor has the Government given a policy direction for us to follow up
舉例而言，在今次的例子中，當我們研究放寬公屋養狗限制的問題時，其實是討論有哪些地方可以稍作放寬，例如公屋可否飼養導盲犬幼犬或用以配種的導盲犬。
For example in the above example when we explored the possibility of relaxing the restriction on pet - keeping in PRH estates we actually tried to identify areas where relaxation could be made for example could young guide dogs or guide dogs used for breeding purpose be kept in PRH units?
代理主席，鄺俊宇議員今天提出這項保護動物的議案，令今屆議員能夠在大會上討論保護動物的問題，是一件好事，因為香港作為現代化城市，我們絕對亦應該就愛護動物作出相關討論。
Deputy President this motion on animal protection moved by Mr KWONG Chun - yu today has enabled Members to discuss the issue of animal protection at a Council meeting in this term . This is a good thing . Hong Kong is a modern city
當然，我無意在這裏繼續討論禪意，不過，由此衍生了一個問題：我們今天如何對待動物？
I certainly have no intention of starting a discussion on Zen enlightenment here but this does bring out the question of how we treat animals today
如果禪師這行為發生在今時今日的香港，相信絕對不可能為社會接受，甚至有可能被刑事檢控。
I believe that in todays Hong Kong what the master did is absolutely unacceptable to the community and may even lead to criminal prosecution
毋庸置疑的是，認同保護動物免受傷害、爭取動物權益等方向，在今天的香港社會是存在的。
There is no doubt that in todays Hong Kong society people do recognize the directions of protecting animals from harm striving for animal rights and so on
然而，在今時今日的香港，相關法例和保護措施是否足夠，而政府的取態又是否符合我們聲稱的國際社會標準？
Nonetheless in present - day Hong Kong are the relevant legislation and safeguards adequate? . Is the Governments attitude in line with what we call the standards of the international community?
公民黨一直關心動物，由創黨開始，保護動物已成為我們其中一項最關注的議題。
The Civic Party is always concerned about animals . Since its inception our party has regarded animal protection as one of our prime concerns
在令動物不處於弱勢的層面而言，上屆立法會曾討論一項相關法案，並衍生了一些討論。
With a view to preventing animals from being put in a disadvantageous position the last Legislative Council discussed a relevant bill which gave rise to some debates
我記得當時的辯論相當熱烈，因為有部分建制派議員贊成盡快就住家繁殖發牌，但我們認為該法案中有關向動物繁育者發牌的條件和門檻實在訂得太低，反而可能讓寵物繁殖商有機會進一步發展；在這前提下，我們認為發牌門檻應予提高，所以我們反對該法案，認為不應把它"袋住先"。
I recall that the debates were very heated back then because some pro - establishment Members were in favour of issuing licences to home - breeders expeditiously whereas we took the view that the conditions and threshold for issuing licences to animal breeders were set too low in the bill and might contrarily give pet breeders a chance to develop further . In view of this we opined that the licensing threshold should be raised . That was why we opposed the bill and reckoned that we should not pocket it first
代理主席，我認同在立法會內，其實有部分建制派同事對於保護動物是"上心"和關注的，只不過往往"黨大於人"，他們未必能夠認同我們提高發牌門檻的要求。
Deputy President I acknowledge that some pro - establishment Members of this Council are actually mindful of and concerned about animal protection . It is just that they often have to put the interests of their parties above their personal aspirations and so may not be able to support our demand for a higher licensing threshold
但是，對於另一些建制派同事，我不知道他們是無知還是無心，是真心還是假意，他們的言論有時真的令人感到氣憤，因為他們曾說動物只是商品，甚至有部分人認為購買是飼養寵物的唯一選擇。
However there are some other pro - establishment Members who have made really infuriating comments at times and I have no idea whether they have made the comments out of ignorance or inadvertence or whether or not these are sincere comments . According to them animals are just commodities . Some of them even think that buying animals is the only option for people who want to keep pets
公民黨一向支持全面推行"捕捉、絕育、防疫、放回"計劃。
The Civic Party has always supported the full implementation of the scheme of Trap - Neuter - Vaccinate - Return
這明顯與香港講究效率的做法完全背道而馳。
It is clear that this completely goes against the efficient way of doing things in Hong Kong
我們認為TNVR不應永遠停留在試驗階段。
In our opinion TNVR should not forever remain a pilot scheme
數年前，我們已倡議在處理流浪動物問題時，應以TNVR的標準處理，以替代極不人道的人道毀滅。
Several years ago we already advocated applying the TNVR standard instead of using the extremely inhumane method of euthanasia to address the problem of stray animals
出現流浪貓狗的主要原因，往往是人類不負責任地將牠們遺棄街頭。
The existence of stray cats and dogs is often mainly attributable to humans irresponsible abandonment of them on the streets
當牠們造成滋擾時，政府卻只從"以人為本"的思維來解決問題。
When they cause nuisances the Government merely tackle these nuisances with a people - oriented mindset
代理主席，公民黨認為，動物友善政策的大前提是建立人類和動物能夠共存的社區，而並非因為動物不是人類，便不計較牠們的生命，殘害牠們的性命。
Deputy President the Civic Party thinks that any animal - friendly policy should be premised on the idea of building a community in which humans and animals can coexist as opposed to having no regard for and brutally harming the lives of animals just because they are not humans
過去數年，政府仍然不肯轉換思維，每年花費大量納稅人金錢，用人道毀滅的方式來處理小動物。
Over the past few years the Government has still refused to change its mindset and spent a lot of taxpayers money on euthanizing small animals each year
這絕對不能接受。
This is absolutely unacceptable
除了TNVR計劃外，政府也一直忽視我們的訴求，不肯檢討和重新制定全面的保護動物法例。
Leaving aside the TNVR scheme the Government has always ignored our demands and refused to conduct a review and formulate afresh a comprehensive piece of legislation on animal protection
我們一直要求立法規管私人繁殖業，而政府直至去年才修訂第139B章。
We had been calling for enacting legislation to regulate the private breeding trade all along and it was not until last year that the Government amended Cap . 139B
然而，正如我剛才提及，修訂後的條例，在愛護動物的界別和關心動物的市民眼中，其實等於向相關行業和經營者發出一道"免死金牌"，這確實令人極度憂慮。
Yet as I alluded to just now in the eyes of animal lovers and people who care about animals the enactment of the amended regulations actually amounts to the granting of immunity to the relevant trade and operators . This is extremely worrying
此外，當局經常強調有回應飼養狗隻人士對增設寵物公園的訴求。可是，很明顯，這些公園......以立法會大樓旁邊的添馬公園為例，只有一條特定的通道讓寵物進入，這樣是否真的能夠做到動物友善？
Moreover the authorities often emphasize that they have responded to dog keepers demands for more pet gardens but it is clear that these gardens Take for example Tamar Park adjacent to the Legislative Council Complex; it has only one designated path for pet access
由於黃定光議員不在席，本會不會處理他的修正案。
As Mr WONG Ting - kwong is not present we will not deal with his amendment
張華峰議員，請動議你的修正案。
Mr Christopher CHEUNG you may move your amendment
代理主席，我動議修正尹兆堅議員的議案。
Deputy President I move that Mr Andrew WANs motion be amended
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：張華峰議員就尹兆堅議員議案動議的修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the amendment moved by Mr Christopher CHEUNG to Mr Andrew WANs motion be passed
我現在提出上述待決議題，贊成的請舉手。
I now put the question to you as stated . Will those in favour please raise their hands?
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：毛孟靜議員就鄺俊宇議員議案動議的修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the amendment moved by Ms Claudia MO to Mr KWONG Chun - yus motion be passed
主席，"一國兩制"的落實，為香港人帶來很多金句，最新的當然是習主席說的中央政府對"一國兩制"的看法是"不動搖、不走樣、不變形"。
President the implementation of one country two systems has brought forth many well - known sayings for Hong Kong people . The latest one is certainly President XIs remark that the Central Governments view on one country two systems is that it should never be shaken distorted or deformed
我聽到本會內很多泛民同事也提出同樣的訴求， 要求"一國兩制"的實踐不變形、不走樣。
I have also heard many Honourable colleagues from the pan - democratic camp in this Council say something similar demanding that the implementation of one country two systems should not be deformed or distorted
為何會有變形、走樣的論調提出來呢？
Why have they spoken out against the Basic Law being deformed or distorted?
我個人認為，這當然可能是因為中央和香港人都覺得或擔心"一國兩制"的實踐有些變形和走樣，而可能雙方都是對的。
In my opinion this may well be because both the Central Authorities and Hong Kong people think or are concerned that the implementation of one country two systems has been somewhat deformed and distorted . And perhaps both sides are correct
香港在1997年回歸中國，和平解決殖民地年代遺留的問題，是統一國家的大業。
The return of Hong Kong to China in 1997 as a peaceful resolution of the Hong Kong issue left over from the colonial era was vital to the great cause of national unity
另一個經常被提到的金句，當然就是葉建源議員剛才提及的12個字，即"一國兩制"、"高度自治"、"港人治港"。
Another well - known saying which is often quoted is certainly the trio of phrases mentioned by Mr IP Kin - yuen just now namely one country two systems a high degree of autonomy and Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong
主席，我認為特區政府日後應研究管治出了甚麼問題，深刻檢討政治問責制自2002年引進至今15年來，對管治或"一國兩制"有否幫助。
President I think in future the SAR Government should look into what has gone wrong with governance and conduct an in - depth review to see whether the political accountability system has been beneficial to governance or one country two systems over the past 15 years since its introduction in 2002
套用一句內地常說的話，"打鐵還需自身硬"。
As the Mainland saying goes To forge iron one must be strong
身子夠硬，自會受別人尊重。無論是個人也好，官員也好，只要自己的能力夠強，無須事事依靠別人，本身的自治程度便會較高。
If one is strong one will naturally be respected by others regardless of whether one is an individual or an official . As long as we are strong enough ourselves and do not have to rely on others for everything we will have a higher degree of autonomy
第二，做服務員。
The second role was service provider
其實，單程證制度由來已久。
In fact the One - way Permit Scheme is a long - established system
這種出入境制度在港英年代已經建立，內地管出，香港管入。
Under this immigration system which dates back to the Hong Kong - British era the Mainland is responsible for exit control while Hong Kong is responsible for entry control
香港人口過多、旅客過多，是我們自己一手造成。
The problem of Hong Kong being overpopulated and having too many Mainland visitors is of our own making
我們不想把關過嚴，便要求內地放更多旅客來港，結果旅客多到要特區政府喊停。
As we did not want to be too strict in gatekeeping we asked the Mainland to allow more visitors to come to Hong Kong but in the event the number of Mainland visitors became so great that the SAR Government had to call a halt to such an arrangement
我認為，"一國兩制"要成功落實，雙方都有責任。
In my view in order for one country two systems to be successfully implemented both sides are obliged to do their part
香港人始終要尊重內地在這方面的原則。
After all Hong Kong people have to respect the Mainlands principles in this regard
中央政府近年已多次說明，最基本一定要尊重國家的主權、安全和發展利益。
The Central Government has repeatedly stated in recent years that we must basically respect the countrys sovereignty security and development interests
另一方面，我們當然也要保持香港在"兩制"下作為國際大都市的特色，必須自強。
In addition we must of course maintain the characteristics of Hong Kong as an international metropolis under two systems and strive for self - improvement
當我們的經濟停滯不前，科技創新做來做去也做不到甚麼成績，很多傳統產業都面臨龐大競爭，我們的中介人角色在很多方面都被稀釋時，如何叫人尊重我們？
When our economy is stagnant; when we cannot make any achievement in technological innovation; when many traditional industries are facing intense competition; and when our role as an intermediary is being diluted in many ways how can we earn the respect of others?
我們說"50年不變"，但在這世界上，不可能有東西是一成不變的。
While we say that our way of life shall remain unchanged for 50 years nothing is changeless in this world
在未來的30年，如果我們想"一國兩制"真正發揮，繼續蓬勃發展，責任在於港人須好好掌握我們的優勢，在"一國"下盡量發揮我們獨有的特色。
In the coming 30 years if we want one country two systems to be truly realized and continue to thrive it is our responsibility as Hong Kong people to properly grasp our advantages and give full play to our unique characteristics under one country
可是，我們看到在過去數年，無論是八三一方案以至最近一次人大釋法的決定，均在試圖扭曲《基本法》的條文。
However from our observation in the past few years be it the 31 August package or the recent NPCSC Decision to interpret the Basic Law they are all attempts to distort the provisions of the Basic Law
剛才有議員說，香港現在沒有普選是由於我們這些人投票否決八三一方案。
Just now some Members said that Hong Kong does not have universal suffrage because we vetoed the 31 August package
然而，說到底，大家都知道，八三一方案根本不是普選的承諾，也不符合《基本法》所訂沒有篩選及沒有不合理提名程序，並能夠給予香港人真正選擇的普選機制。
To put it straight however we all know that the 31 August package is not an undertaking of universal suffrage nor does it comply with the Basic Law as there should not be any screening or unreasonable nomination procedure . Instead it should put in place a universal suffrage mechanism which offers Hong Kong people genuine choices
這些最基本的要求，《基本法》均已寫得很清楚，但八三一方案根本不能夠達到這目標。
This is the most basic requirement and has been clearly set out in the Basic Law but the 31 August package has failed to achieve this target
很簡單，八三一方案如何解釋這方案是如《基本法》所訂般屬於循序漸進，以及如何解釋提名委員會具有廣泛代表性？
Very simply how does the 31 August package explain that it follows the principle of gradual and orderly progress as stated in the Basic Law and how does it explain that the nomination committee is broadly representative?
這些都是《基本法》所用的字眼。
These are terms used in the Basic Law
八三一方案既不解釋，也不嘗試解釋，只說提名委員會符合廣泛代表性。
Yet the 31 August package does not or has not attempted to offer any explanation but merely states that the nomination committee should be broadly representative
可是，它如何符合廣泛代表性呢？
But what is the requirement of broadly representative?
提名門檻本來是1%，為何要提高至一半？
What is the reason for raising the nomination threshold originally set at 1 % to 50 % ?
這並不是循序漸進，但卻沒有任何解釋。
This is not in any way gradual and orderly progress but no explanation has been offered
有些建制派議員更說，這就是普選。
Some Members of the pro - establishment camp even claimed that this is universal suffrage
如果釋法的決定是在法律程序仍在進行或案件仍在審理期間作出的，原因十分簡單，就是不想輸掉官司，希望確保官司的結果能夠符合其意願，而這正是干預香港司法獨立、破壞香港法治的最大問題所在。
If the decision to seek an interpretation of the Basic Law is made during a legal proceeding or in the course of a trial the reason is simple enough the Government does not want to lose the case and hopes to ensure that the case will have the desired result . This is precisely where the biggest problem lies as this not only intervenes in Hong Kongs judicial independence but also damages our rule of law
無論是區議會或最近的特首選舉，中聯辦試圖影響提名和結果的無形之手均顯得越來越猖獗。
As evident from the District Council elections and the recent Chief Executive Election the invisible hands of LOCPG to intervene in the nomination and results have become distinctively visible
很多建制派議員也說過，即使是議會內所提出沒有法律約束力的議案，都要中聯辦出手要求議員點頭。
As many Members of the pro - establishment camp have said LOCPG has even intervened in non - legally - binding motions proposed in the Legislative Council by asking Members to endorse them
為何建制派議員甘願接受中聯辦的指指點點？
Why are Members of the pro - establishment camp so willing to follow the instructions of LOCPG?
為何面對這些屬於香港內部事務和立法會職能的事情，他們卻甘於接受中聯辦的指指點點？
Why are they so willing to follow the instructions of LOCPG in respect of matters pertaining to Hong Kongs internal affairs and the Legislative Councils functions?
這就是走樣，這就是變形。
This is distortion . This is deformation
最近，有人說如果到了某個程度或階段，香港便可以不再實行普通法，亦不必再有三權分立甚或三權分立根本不存在，屆時特首將會超然於法律和三權。
Recently someone said that at some point or stage Hong Kong may do away with common law and the separation of powers or the separation of powers has never existed . By that time the Chief Executive will be above the law as well as above the three powers
這些言論就是變形，就是走樣。
This kind of remark is distortion and deformation
代理主席，我本來認為今天的議題很古怪，基本上市民每年均參與七一遊行，而且人數眾多，正視七一遊行市民的訴求，本就是政府和立法會應有之義，為甚麼要提出來辯論，而要加以正視？
Deputy President at one time I thought that the topic of todays motion was rather strange . Each year large numbers of people participate in the 1 July march . It is the Governments duty to face up to the aspirations of the people participating in the march
直至這數天，建制派的議員一一發言，我才明白何謂掩耳盜鈴、粉飾太平。
Why should this subject be raised for debate asking the Government to face up to peoples aspirations? . It is not until I have listened to the speeches of the pro - establishment Members in these few days that I truly understand what it means by playing ostrich and painting a rosy picture
無論有多少市民上街遊行，社會上出現多少問題，他們仍然在歌功頌德，說香港有多自由、有多廉潔、有多好。
No matter how many people take to the streets and how the community is rife with problems they still sing the praises of the Government commending how much freedom Hong Kong people enjoy how clean the Government and how good everything is . Let us look back in history . The Gini coefficient in Hong Kong keeps rising over the years
直到何君堯議員剛才發言，我才明白何謂虛偽無耻，何謂掩耳盜鈴，他竟然將露宿者"擺上檯"，說政府花了2億元改善露宿者的生活，讓他們有五星級的家。
It is not until I hear Dr Junius HOs speech just now that I understood what is meant by hypocritical shameless and playing ostrich . He dared put street sleepers in the limelight saying that the Government spent 200 million to improve their living environment and provide a five - star home for them
首先，整項工程本身並非為露宿者而設，而是為了重建和保育油麻地戲院，讓市民唱戲曲，此其一。
First of all the project itself was not for rehousing street sleepers; but for redeveloping and conserving the Yau Ma Tei Theatre to provide people with a venue to perform Chinese operas . That is the first point
第二，露宿者搬遷後，他們的生活改善了嗎？
Second after street sleepers have been relocated do they have better living conditions?
難道安裝冷氣後，露宿者便可以使用該宿舍嗎？
After the retrofitting of air - conditioning can street sleepers stay in the shelter?
原本70個宿位，現在仍是70多個宿位，即使已安裝冷氣，但宿舍仍在垃圾站的上蓋，木蚤和老鼠的問題有解決嗎？
There were originally 70 places in the old shelter and the new shelter still provides 70 - odd places . Though the shelter will be retrofitted with air - conditioning it is still located above a refuse collection point . Will there be no more bedbugs and rats?
聽着何君堯議員以其浪漫柔和的聲線說他們向露宿者提供了五星級的家，我真的很感噁心，這便是虛偽無耻。
I find it disgusting to hear Dr Junius HO talking about providing street sleepers with a five - star home in a soft and romantic voice . How hypocritical and shameless he is
全港有近2,000名露宿者，為甚麼露宿者會越來越多？
There are close to 2 000 street sleepers in Hong Kong . Why is the number on the increase?
是因為香港整體的房屋政策傾斜，窮人的居住面積越來越小，房租越來越貴，市區重建項目只興建豪宅，"劏房"的租金連年上升，但政府並沒有對 貧困者施以援手，連"N無人士"的津貼都取消。
That is because the overall housing policy of Hong Kong is imbalanced . For the poor their living space is shrinking but the rent keeps rising . Flats built under the urban renewal projects are all luxury apartments
這顯示香港社會金玉其外，但敗絮其中。
This exactly manifests that in the society of Hong Kong all that glitters is not gold
