同時，我們希望政府可以與不同機構和學府設計培訓課程予區議員及其助理免費報讀，以提升議政和香港公共政策研究的水平。
At the same time we hope that the Government can design training programmes in conjunction with various organizations and educational institutions for DC members and their assistants to enrol in free of charge so as to raise the standard of political participation and public policy research in Hong Kong
總括而言，區議會自成立以來，一直在地區層面上擔當主要諮詢組織的角色，也是政府與市民溝通的重要橋樑。
In sum DCs have all along played the role of major advisory bodies at the district level since their establishment and they are also an important bridge of communication between the Government and the people
區議會經過多年來的運作，受到社區人士接受，其貢獻更得到各界的廣泛認同。
Having operated for so many years they are accepted by people in the local communities and their contribution has also won the widespread approval of various sectors
未來，我們希望政府能夠繼續加強區議會在地方行政方面擔當的角色，增加對區議員的支援，讓區議會及區議員有更好的條件來服務社區。
We hope that in the future the Government can continue to strengthen the role played by DCs in district administration and enhnace the support for DC members so that DCs and their members can have better means to serve the local communities
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：劉國勳議員動議的議案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Mr LAU Kwok - fan be passed
有3位議員要就這項議案動議修正案。
Three Members will move amendments to this motion
主席，我聽到周浩鼎議員說，大埔林村"天安門"的改善工程得到市民踴躍支持，立時驚一跳，然後"得啖笑"。
President I just heard Mr Holden CHOW say that the public strongly support the Tiananmen Square project . I was startled on hearing that remark of his and then thought it was just a joke
不少朋友看過林村"天安門"的設計圖後，腦海都會浮起兩個字："肉酸"。
Many people who have seen the design plan of the Tiananmen Square at Lam Tsuen would come up with only one word in their mind ugly
這項改善工程較早前遭超過5,000位大埔居民聯署反對。
Not long ago over 5 000 Tai Po residents put down their signatures to oppose this project
如果周浩鼎議員覺得"天安門"真的這麼好，不如搬到東涌吧。
If Mr CHOW really thinks that the Tiananmen Square is so great maybe it should be moved to Tung Chung
我想說的是，區議員是民意代表，但不代表他們可以作出一些影響市民的決定，而完全不諮詢市民。
What I wish to say is that while District Council DC members are representatives of public opinion it does not mean that they can make decisions that will affect the public without consulting their views in advance
主席，議員監察政府，議員由市民授權，議員應該尊重民意，而不是票數足夠便強行通過一些違背民意的項目。
President councillors carry the peoples mandate to monitor the Government . They should respect their opinions and should not push through unpopular projects such because they have secured enough votes
大埔"天安門"是一個例子，觀塘的"世界級"音樂噴泉是一個例子，"不能避雨亭"都是一個例子，的確是"成功爭取"系列。
The Tiananmen Square in Tai Po is an example so do the world - class musical fountain on the Kwun Tong promenade and the rain shelters that do not afford any shelter in Quarry Bay―all of these projects are successfully secured by the pro - establishment DC members
我們看一看葵青區以往的重點項目：為市民提供驗眼及牙科服務，都獲受好評。
Let us take a look at the Kwai Tsing District Councils signature projects in the past the optometricocular examination and dental care services were well received
但是，這個例子好像不是每一區都看到。
However it seems that such a case of success cannot be found in every district
主席，原議案建議設立一個"社區建設基金"。
President the original motion proposes the establishment of a community building fund
如果沒有更透明的監察制度、更民主化的社區參與，主席，"社區建設基金"會不會建設一個又一個林村"天安門"的翻版呢？
Without a monitoring system with greater transparency and engagement of a more democratic community will the community building fund produce a replica of the Tiananmen Square at Lam Tsuen one after another President?
主席，我本身都是區議員，在自小長大的屋邨當選，深信真正勤政愛民的民意代表，會願意接納每一位市民的每一分意見。
President being a DC member elected to the district where I grew up I strongly believe that the real representatives of public opinion who are diligent and care about the people are willing to accept every single opinion of every citizen
權力使人腐化，絕對權力使人絕對腐化。
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely
我們既要充權，但同時要建立一個監察權力的制度。
We want empowerment but at the same time we need a system to monitor the powers
誠然，我們是議員，但我們一定要記得我們的權力來自人民。
We as councillors must bear in mind that our power comes from people
如果我們要強化地區工作、地區行政，就要先建立制度，令人民可以監察我們。
If we want to enhance district work and district administration we must first set up a system for the people to monitor us
大家剛才提出了不少具體建議，值得社會深入探討。
Quite a number of specific proposals put forward by Members just now warrant in - depth studies too
不過，一些議員其後在發言中似乎慢慢偏離正題。
However some Members appeared to have gradually deviated from the question in their speeches
我有時以為政府比較"離地"，想不到議會內一些同事也同樣"離地"。
I sometimes think that the Government is comparatively speaking divorced from the people . I did not expect some colleagues in this Council to be equally so
我剛才看到一種情況，曾經參加區議會選舉或身兼區議員的"雙料"議員會似乎較清楚區議會的職務，而非區議員的立法會議員可能對區議會的工作掌握得不太足夠，以致他們的一些批評偏離事實。
Just now I noted that Members who have run in District Council DC elections or double as DC members appeared to have a clearer understanding of the duties of DCs whereas Legislative Council Members who are not DC members might be unable to fully grasp the work of DCs and as a result some of their criticisms were way off the truth
正如陳志全議員所說，我們願意接受批評......
Just as Mr CHAN Chi - chuen has said we are willing to accept criticisms
首先，我想談談張超雄議員就修正案作出的發言，他在前言或發言中提出的言論很多都與事實不符，嚴重貶低區議員和區議會過往作出的貢獻。
To start with I would like to say a few words about the speech delivered by Dr Fernando CHEUNG on his amendment . Many of the comments made in his preamble or speech are not consistent with the facts for they have seriously belittled the contribution made by DC members and DCs in the past
關於我在議案中提出設立"社區建設基金"的建議，我不知他是掌握不到，還是雖然明知我說的是事實，但基於要政治正確，竟將基金與撥款舉辦活動混為一談。
As regards the proposal for the establishment of a community building fund as mentioned by me in the motion I wonder if he has failed to understand my proposal or though he knows very well that it is truthful he has intentionally mixed up the fund with the allocation of funds for organizing activities in order to be politically correct
我的議案其實與社區有待進行的公園、體育館等康文工程有關。
Actually my motion is related to the leisure and cultural projects to be undertaken in the community such as those related to parks stadia and so on
胡志偉議員可能比較清楚，這些工程大都是市政局或區域市政局遺留 下來的工程，可能已拖了超過10年。
Mr WU Chi - wai might have a clearer idea . These projects which are mostly left over by the Urban Council or the Regional Council have been delayed for over 10 years
因此，我希望不用與大型基建爭奪資源，而有較快途徑讓這些工程盡快上馬，要求政府"找數"，但張議員誤解了我的意思。
As such I hope that a quicker avenue can be made available to enable these projects to commence expeditiously without competing for resources with major infrastructure projects . Moreover the Government should be requested to foot the bill . Nevertheless Dr CHEUNG has misunderstood my point
如果區議會能夠增加職權，一定可以更有效地幫助地區行政，為市民服務。
If more powers are given to DCs I trust they can definitely assist in district administration in a more effective manner and serve the public
所以，我希望大家支持我提出的議案。
For these reasons I hope Members will support my motion
主席，其實我的原議案和其他議員的修正案的目標或方向均很接近，都是希望提升區議會的職權和角色，令我們有更好的條件服務市民。
President in fact my original motion shares a similar target or direction with the amendments proposed by other Members for they all seek to enhance the functions and role of District Councils DCs so that we will be better equipped to serve the public
剛才同事在辯論時可能有些火花，但相信是基於大家對區議員工作的理解程度不同。
The debate among Honourable colleagues earlier might have sent sparks flying but I believe it is due to Members varied levels of understanding of DC members work
今天是一個很好的機會，讓大家多了解區議會的工作，以及區議員平時所做的事情。
Today offers a good opportunity for Members to gain a better understanding of the work of DCs and the routine duties of DC members
立法會的責任是審議法例、改變一些政策，甚至對過時的政策進行修訂，而區議會則負責地方行政和地區服務的工作。
The Legislative Council is responsible for scrutiny of legislation change of policies or even introduction of amendments to outdated policies while DCs are responsible for district administration and provision of district services
因此，兩個議會其實是各司其職，各有功能。
Hence both Councils are actually playing their respective roles with individual functions
如果兩個議會能互相尊重，一起發揮作用，實屬香港之福。
If both Councils can demonstrate mutual respect and give play to their functions it will surely be good for the welfare of Hong Kong
所以，我很希望透過今天的議案辯論，讓大家有更多了解和尊重，讓兩層議會一起為市民好好工作。
Hence I very much hope that through the motion debate today Members will gain more understanding and respect thereby enabling the two - tier structure to do a great job together for members of the public
最後，請大家支持這項議案。
Lastly I urge Members to support this motion
他自己也曾參選區議會，所以他應該知道選民在投票時有自己的抉擇，大家應尊重選民的抉擇，不應將他們詆毀成只想要"蛇齋餅粽"，他這樣說是侮辱選民，也侮辱了自己。
Since he has the experience of running in the DC elections he should know electors have their own preferences in casting their votes . We should respect their choice rather than slinging mud at them saying they merely want seasonal delicacies . His remarks have insulted both the electors and himself
所以，這邏輯完全不成立。
So this logic is absolutely untenable
談到地區工程的問題，他們又說沒有諮詢。
When it comes to issues related to local works projects they would again say that they were not consulted
鄺俊宇議員，你也是區議員，一項工程要提交立法會，最低限度要有評分制，即使評分過關，還要進行諮詢，難道你不知道？
Mr KWONG Chun - yu you are an DC member too . A project should at least be subject to a points system before being submitted to the Legislative Council . Even if it is cleared under the system consultation has to be carried out
你不可能不知道的，一項工程要做多少場諮詢，你是知道的。
Do you not know that? . You must not say that you have no idea . You should know how many consultation sessions have to be conducted before a project can commence
可能你的黨友整年都不出席會議，我相信你未必會這樣，但他們如不出席會議，當然不知道有進行諮詢。
Perhaps your party comrades are absent from the meetings all year round but I believe you might not . Of course they would not know anything about the consultations if they did not attend the meetings
其實，很多工程是區議員，包括泛民的區議員都很支持的，例如音樂噴泉，該項工程在觀塘區議會中獲一致贊成通過，無人反對。
The music fountain project for instance was unanimously endorsed in the Kwun Tong DC with no one voting against it
主席，首先感謝劉國勳議員提出原議案，我和香港經濟民生聯盟的同事都覺得其建議正面，我們原則上亦認同特區政府必須加強對區議會和區議員的支援。
President first of all I thank Mr LAU Kwok - fan for proposing the original motion . Colleagues from the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong BPA and I consider that its proposals are positive . We agree in principle that the Government should enhance the support to District Councils DCs and DC members
對於區議會的角色及職能，本人有切身的經驗和體會。
Concerning the role and functions of DCs I have personal experience and understanding of them
從1997年香港回歸開始至2011年年底，我一直出任沙田區議會議員，做了14年半。
From the reunification of Hong Kong in 1997 to the end of 2011 I was a Member of the Sha Tin DC and had remained so for fourteen and a half years
我珍惜這個讓我可以利用自己的工程專業背景服務社區的機會，推動地區設施改善工程，宣傳區內工商發展，組織區內大型活動，參與區議會財務和行政方面的工作。
I cherish this opportunity which enabled me to make use of my professional engineering knowledge to serve the community take forward improvement works on district facilities promote industrial and commercial developments in the district organize large - scale events in the district and participate in the financial and administrative work of the DC
其間，我曾參加很多社區組織和活動，了解基層生活，推動社區融和。
During this period of time my participation in many community organizations and activities enabled me to understand the living of the grass - roots people and take part in promoting harmony in the community
區議會的工作令我對社會事務有廣泛和持續的參與，累積多元的經驗，增加了歷練，擴闊了眼界，亦深刻體會到工商專業與社會民生息息相關，作為專業人士可以為改善民生出一分力，亦為我後來爭取在立法會的平台服務社會奠定較充實的基礎。
Through my work in the DC I was able to participate in social affairs extensively and persistently from which I have accumulated diversified experience enriched my exposure and broadened my horizons . It also enabled me to deeply understand that the business and professional sectors are inextricably linked with society and the peoples livelihood and that professionals can make contribution to the improvement of the peoples lot . This has laid a more solid foundation for me to subsequently strive to serve society through this platform of the Legislative Council
我相信，本會一些曾經做過區議員的同事都可能有類似的心路歷程。
I believe Honourable colleagues who have been DC members before may have similar feelings and experience
顯然，區議會的角色及職能不僅可以促進社區發展，而且有助於培養和儲備從政和治港的人才。
Obviously the role and functions of DCs do not only facilitate community development but are also conducive to nurturing and maintaining a pool of talents for the political arena and for ruling Hong Kong
主席，根據《基本法》對政治體制的安排，區議會屬於非政權性的區域組織，接受特區政府就有關地區管理和其他事務的諮詢，或負責提供文化、康樂、環境衞生等服務。
President according to the arrangement for the political structure in the Basic Law DCs are not organs of political power and they are consulted by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region SAR on district administration and other affairs or responsible for providing services in such fields as culture recreation and environmental sanitation
區議會在1997年香港回歸後，經歷了一系列重要的變化。
After the reunification of Hong Kong in 1997 DCs have undergone a series of momentous changes
其一是代表性有所加強。
First their representativeness has been enhanced
其二是財政撥款和行政支援持續增加。
Second financial provisions and administrative support for DCs have seen continuous enhancement
區議會的撥款納入政府一般收入帳目總目63民政事務總署下的相關撥款，例如2013年施政報告宣布為每區預留1億元，推行社區重點項目計劃。
The provisions for DCs are incorporated into the Governments General Revenue Account under Head 63 Home Affairs Department . In the 2013 Policy Address for instance it was announced that 100 million was earmarked for each district to implement the Signature Project Scheme SPS
同時，在社區參與計劃下，由2015-2016年度起共5個財政年度，每年再額外撥款2,080萬元，進一步支援在地區上推廣藝術文化活動。
Meanwhile an additional annual funding of 20.8 million will be provided for community involvement programmes in the next five financial years starting from 2015 - 2016 to further strengthen the support for promoting arts and cultural activities in the districts
當局在2014年開始在深水埗和元朗兩區推行的先導計劃，今年宣布將擴展至全港18區，改稱為地區主導行動計劃，為此預留每年6,300萬元的恆常款項，並會加強民政事務處的相關人手支援。
As regards the pilot scheme implemented in Sham Shui Po and Yuen Long first in 2014 it is announced this year that the scheme which is renamed as District - led Actions Scheme will be extended to all the 18 districts in Hong Kong . An annual recurrent funding of 63 million will be earmarked for it while the relevant manpower support in District Offices will also be enhanced
此外，地區小型工程計劃的撥款是專用的整體款項，讓區議會提出和通過區內的小型工程，本財政年度的撥款額為3億4,000萬元。
Besides the funding for the District Minor Works Programme is a dedicated block grant for DCs to propose and approve minor works in the districts . The provision for this financial year is 340 million
當然，隨着市民對社區發展的要求以至對區議會的期望增加，如何適時檢討特區政府的相關財政和行政支援，以強化區議會對政策實施及地區事務的監督，值得各界認真思考。
Certainly given increasing public demands for community development and public expectations for DCs all sectors of the community should seriously consider how a review can be conducted in a timely manner of the financial and administrative support provided by the SAR Government to strengthen the supervision of DCs in policy implementation and district affairs
經民聯曾就這議題諮詢聯盟內20位區議員的意見，他們基本上認同區議會的現有財政撥款機制。
The BPA has consulted the 20 DC members of the BPA on this issue . They basically support the existing funding mechanism of DCs
然而，由於運用撥款時要跟從民政事務總署發出的撥款守則，有時顯得缺乏彈性。
However the requirement to follow the guidelines on funding of the Home Affairs Department HAD may sometimes compromise flexibility
因此，區議會的財政調配權力需要適當優化。
In this connection it is necessary to appropriately enhance the power of financial allocation of DCs
他們贊成擴大地區主導行動計劃，不過亦關注到，一旦擴展至全港18區，各政府部門是否都能夠妥善地配合。
They also support an extension of the District - led Actions Scheme but are concerned about whether there can be effective coordination among various government departments after its extension to all the 18 districts in the territory
主席，經民聯不能認同張超雄議員在其修正案中對社區重點項目的批評，我們認為他抹煞了社區各界多年來的努力與合作。
President the BPA cannot agree with Dr Fernando CHEUNGs criticisms of the SPS in his amendment . We consider that he has brushed aside the efforts and collaboration made by various sectors in the community over the years
他特別針對的項目，其實是經過相關區議會和地區人士多番研究、討論和諮詢，取得主流共識，然後通過區議會，再提交立法會要求通過撥款。
The projects that he pinpointed in his criticisms are actually the results of many rounds of studies discussion and consultation conducted by DCs and members of the community . Mainstream consensuses have been forged and then approval sought from the DCs before relevant projects are submitted to the Legislative Council for funding approval
現時這些項目在本會遭到阻撓，實在令地區人士感到無奈和憤慨。
Now that these projects are blocked in this Council it has indeed made members of the community feel helpless and indignant
胡志偉議員的修正案提出增加區議會的人事管理權及政策決定權，經民聯對此有保留。
Mr WU Chi - wai proposed in his amendment that the powers of staff management and making policy decisions be enhanced for DCs
我們認為如果每個區都有政策決定權，部分議員或許會為了維護其選區部分市民的意見，而忽略全區以至全港的整體利益，容易造成政策混亂，有關部門將難以配合。
The BPA has reservations about this . We consider that if each DC is given powers of making policy decisions some members may uphold the views of some people in their constituency to the neglect of the overall interests of the entire district and even Hong Kong as a whole . Policy confusions may easily arise and coordination among the relevant departments would also be difficult
至於所謂區議會的人事管理權亦難以操作。
As for the so - called powers of staff management of DCs operation could be rendered difficult too
區議會目前沒有本身的執行部門，其秘書處屬於民政事務總署轄下公務員編制的一部分。
At present DCs do not have their own executive arm and their secretariats are part of the civil service establishment under HAD
如果要區議會直接僱用秘書處，負責人事任命和管理的工作，是不切實際的。
It is impractical for DCs to directly hire a secretariat to take charge of the work of staff appointment and management
至於許智峯議員的修正案，區議會畢竟屬於非政權性的區域組織，其諮詢角色歷來行之有效，而在地區主導行動計劃下，已將決策權賦予由民政事務專員擔任主席的地區管理委員會。
As regards Mr HUI Chi - fungs amendment DCs are after all not organs of political power . Their advisory role has all along been proven effective and under the District - led Actions Scheme the decision - making power has been given to the District Management Committees chaired by District Officers
專員更負責地區與政府各政策局和部門溝通的工作，雖然這角色仍要加強，但實在沒有必要另行設立由普選產生的區政專員。
District Officers are even made responsible for communication between the districts and various Policy Bureaux and departments . Although this role still needs enhancement it is indeed unnecessary to introduce District Commissioners to be returned by election of universal suffrage
經民聯亦反對他提出取消區議會當然議員議席的建議。
The BPA also opposes his proposal of abolishing the ex - officio seats in DCs
現時的當然議員是代表相關的鄉事委員會，有重要的代表性。
The incumbent ex - officio members who represent their respective rural committees carry important representativeness
如果她認為我曾經濫用《議事規則》或在不恰當的情況下提出反對或澄清，我希望她說得清晰一點，不要輕輕帶過便算。
If she thinks that I have abused the Rules of Procedure or raise objection or seek elucidations under inappropriate circumstances I hope she can state them more clearly instead of brushing aside this issue lightly
當然，不同區份有不同背景，市民對象也可能來自不同階層，區議員服務的性質或難度可能也有所不同。
Certainly different districts have different backgrounds members of the public targeted might also come from different strata and the nature and degree of difficulty of the services provided by DC members might also differ
但總的來說，我覺得他們"物超所值"，因為他們付出的時間，遠遠超過為一份全職工作付出的時間，而且他們更要以得到的津貼，應付不同事務，甚至包括所屬地區的紅白二事和應酬等。
But all in all I think that they are worth more than the money spent because the amount of time spent by them is far more than that spent on a full - time job . Moreover they have to spend their allowances on dealing with different affairs including even weddings and funerals entertainments and so on in their respective districts
如果我沒有記錯，《基本法》第九十七和九十八條有提及關於區議會的限制。
If my memory serves me right restrictions on DCs are stipulated in Articles 97 and 98 of the Basic Law
區議會的而且確不容易超越一些跟政治和所謂政權性有關的工作，因為《基本法》不容許區議會涉及這些範疇。
Without a doubt the terms of reference of DCs cannot be extended easily to deal with work related to politics or the so - called political power because DCs are not allowed to be involved in these areas according to the Basic Law
《區議會條例》第61條界定了區議會的職能，除了就某些範疇向政府提供意見外，就有關目的獲得撥款的情況下，區議會也要承擔一些工作，包括環境改善和促進康文事務，以及舉辦社區活動等。
Under section 61 of the District Councils Ordinance the functions of an DC include advising the Government in certain areas and where funds are made available for the purpose undertaking environmental improvements the promotion of recreational and cultural activities community activities and so on
關於有關指控，我理解某些地方設施比較具爭議性，包括我服務的觀塘區興建音樂噴泉的建議，這也是多個月以來，困擾很多觀塘區議員的議題。
Concerning the relevant accusations I understand that certain community facilities are relatively controversial including the proposed construction of a music fountain in Kwun Tong the district currently served by me . This subject has also troubled many Kwun Tong DC members for months . I wish to raise two points only
我只想提出兩點，第一，有關建議當然不能符合所有人的意願，而且事實上，沒有一項設施能夠取得所有人的認同，總會有人問為何不把興建設施的錢，推行恆常的福利工作。
Firstly the relevant proposal can definitely not meet the wishes of all people . In fact no single facility can get approval from everyone . Some people will definitely ask Why is the money earmarked for the construction of facilities not spent on promoting regular welfare work?
我只可以說，政府當然有提供恆常撥款，用作平常推行教育、醫療、福利等各方面的工作，但同時亦應提供所謂的甜品。
I can only say that regular funding has been provided by the Government for the promotion of regular work related to education health care welfare and so on . Meanwhile however sweeteners should also be offered
有時候，由於我們要做大量的日常工作，沒有餘錢，就像家庭主婦平常辛辛苦苦省吃儉用，也應有機會星期天上茶樓舒一口氣，所以甜品是必需的。
Sometimes since we have to perform a lot of daily work with no money to spare sweeteners are required just like housewives who have to pinch and scrape on weekdays should be given the opportunity to go to the restaurant on Sundays to take a break . Hence sweeteners are essential
我希望大家在檢視這些設施時，應明白不是所有錢也要用於應付恆常支出。
I hope Members in reviewing these facilities can understand that not all the money should necessarily be spent on meeting regular expenses
我們應尊重區議員透過既有機制或渠道，以及他們親自接觸區內市民，根據他們的意願得出的集體決定，而不應在沒有充分掌握事實的情況下，隨便作出批評，甚至否定他們對該區作出的一些決定，我認為這樣做不負責任。
We should respect the collective decisions made by DC members according to their wishes and through the established mechanisms or channels as well as their personal contact with residents in their respective districts . We should not make criticisms arbitrarily or even dismiss some of the decisions made by them for their districts without fully grasping the facts . In my opinion it is irresponsible to act in this manner
主席，整體而言，我支持這項議案，多謝主席。
President generally speaking I support the motion . Thank you President
昨天，黃國健議員說有議員是"屁股指揮腦袋"，但其實更多議員，甚至是社會人士，現在是以立場掩蓋事實。
Yesterday Mr WONG Kwok - kin said that some Members allow their butts to direct the brain . Actually more Members and even members of the community are now concealing the facts because of their position
到後期發展到怎樣呢？
What happened later?
曾經有些議員我不在此點名指出在選舉前連續數天設宴，不是在酒樓，而是在茶餐廳設置下午茶，還提示街坊要帶備環保袋載禮物走。
Do these Members think they are distributing fewer cake coupons? . Some Members―I am not going to name them specifically―invited kaifongs to afternoon tea in a Hong Kong - style café not a restaurant for several days in a row before elections were held and the kaifongs were even reminded of bringing along their environmentally - friendly bags to carry their gifts
如果問我，我認為倒不如全部津貼都不要，區議員如果真的是出心為街坊做事，便不要拘泥那些津貼。
In my personal opinion however I would rather decline all the allowances . If DC members are truly sincere in serving kaifongs they should not care about the allowances
主席，就着這項致謝議案，我對於經濟範疇有以下意見。
President in regard to the Motion of Thanks I have the following views concerning the policy area of economic development
其實，我知道很多朋友，以及今天很多議員對此也有異議，他們擔心一些想運動的朋友會沒有場地使用。
In fact I know that this has met disagreement from a lot of people as well as from a number of Members today as they are worried that some people will have no venue to do sports
會展對於所有行業也是重要的，大家看到澳門、新加坡和深圳現時也正大力發展，難道香港真的想落後於其他地方嗎？
HKCEC is important to all trades . We can see that places like Macao Singapore and Shenzhen are currently developing in full force . Does Hong Kong really want to be lagging behind other places?
我希望政府密切留意，如果邊境購物城建成後，遊客便不會對一些周邊地區，包括上水、屯門等居民造成影響，然後政府便應再考慮放寬自由行，相信政府也可以與國內積極考慮這方面的工作。
I hope that the Government can pay close attention to the situation . After the boundary shopping mall is commissioned the impact of visitors on the livelihood of residents living near the boundary including Sheung Shui and Tuen Mun will be less and the Government can then re - consider relaxing IVS . I believe that the Government can also take this into active consideration with the Mainland authorities
