然而，政府在這個議會信誓旦旦指這些人士受《房屋條例》保護，叫大家不要亂說，又表示政府一定會盡責，保護這些基層人士，讓他們可以在其屋邨商場獲得服務。
Nevertheless the Government gave this Council a categorical assurance that these persons were protected by the Housing Ordinance and asked us not to make irresponsible remarks adding that the Government would definitely do its part to protect the grass roots so that they could get services at the shopping arcades of their housing estates
政府當天在立法會說的全是謊話，"林鄭"其實要為這"三座大山"贖罪，她自己和一眾高官也要贖罪。
What the Government told the Legislative Council back then was nothing but a lie . In fact Carrie LAM has to redeem the sin of creating these three big mountains . She and all senior officials have to redeem their sins
眾所周知，港鐵公司原本由政府全資擁有。
As we all know MTRCL was originally wholly owned by the Government
最大股東是政府，最惡毒的是政府，因為港鐵公司上市是政府一手造成的。
Being the major shareholder the Government is the greatest evil because it is the one to blame for the listing of MTRCL
很多人建議我們現在討論針對港鐵公司的罰則，世界上最荒謬不過的是自己做錯事卻懲罰香港人，我為何這樣說呢？
Many people have suggested we now discuss the penalties to be imposed on MTRCL . Nothing can be more ridiculous than asking Hong Kong people to foot the bill for the mistakes committed by MTRCL itself . Why am I saying this?
回購當然不可行，因為香港奉行市場經濟，但說甚麼市場經濟呢？
A buyback is certainly not a feasible option given that Hong Kong practices market economy . But what is the point of talking about market economy?
政府其實壟斷了房地產和土地供應。
The Government has actually monopolized the housing and land supply
這個政府不可饒恕，所有的山也是自己一手造成的。
This Government is unforgivable . It is the one to blame for all such mountains
他們要贖罪，否則天堂不會留位給他們，"林鄭"亦不要希望有天會上天堂，因為她天天做的事是與所有最基層的人為敵。
They have to redeem their sins otherwise they will not be guaranteed a place in heaven . Carrie LAM can stop hoping that she will go to heaven someday because her daily deeds antagonize all those in the lowest stratum
她出賣香港、基層市民、公屋居民，以及所有處於社會最底層的人。
She betrays Hong Kong the grass roots PRH residents and all those in the lowest stratum of society
代理主席，我發言支持麥美娟議員的原議案，要求政府盡快制訂措施，解決民生的"三座大山"。
Deputy President I speak in support of Ms Alice MAKs original motion on requesting the Government to expeditiously formulate measures to overcome the three big mountains in peoples livelihood
大家只要在Google search一下，便會找到很多以下詞彙："年年喪加租"、"趕走小商戶"、"有錢賺到盡"、"市民捱貴租"等，這些都是很多香港市民切切實實感受到的。
Members may simply do a search on Google and the following phrases will be found wild rent increases every year kicking out small tenants greed for profits and public suffering from exorbitant rents and so on . These are profoundly felt by many people in Hong Kong
代理主席，如果說領展是"一座大山"，那究竟有多大呢？
Deputy President if Link REIT is regarded as a big mountain how big is it?
我認為最少有兩大：第一，是在資產方面。
I think it is big in two dimensions at least . First it is about its assets
代理主席，事實是怎樣的呢？
Deputy President what is the reality?
我想引用兩個屋邨的情況供大家作一對比。
I would like to draw a comparison between the situations in two housing estates
居民的生活很好，大家也很和諧。
Residents are leading a desirable life in harmony
南山邨有一間餐廳很有名，經常有很多大學生前往光顧，因為那不是倒模式或連鎖式經營的酒樓或餐廳。
There is a famous restaurant in Nam Shan Estate . Many university students like to eat there for the food is different from the homogeneous meals provided by restaurant chains
麗閣街市由高峰期有190個商戶逐漸減至56個商戶，最後只餘下10個商戶艱苦經營，每天只有二三百元生意。
During the prime days there were 190 tenants operating in Lai Kok Market yet the number diminished gradually to 56 tenants . Eventually only 10 tenants are left striving for survival making a daily turnover of merely 200 to 300
因為商場對面的南昌站上蓋興建了一個3萬元一平方呎的豪宅，而這商場易名就是要招待日後住在對面豪宅的居民。
A luxury housing estate of 30,000 per square foot has just been built on top of the Nam Cheong Station which is just opposite the shopping centre . The shopping centre is hence renamed to serve the future residents of the luxury development
第一，房委會和運輸及房屋局責無旁貸，必須加強監督和監管領展，不應讓他們進行違規或違法行為，如沒有與業主立案法團攤分公共設施的費用。
First HA and the Transport and Housing Bureau are duty - bound to step up their supervision and regulation of Link REIT . They should prevent Link REIT from engaging in malpractices and unlawful practices such as default on paying the costs of public facilities shared with owners corporations
此外，當局是否可以主動調查，或設立熱線，讓市民舉報，抒發一下呢？
Moreover will the authorities take the initiative to conduct investigation or set up a hotline for the public to report relevant cases and express their opinions?
代理主席，我感謝麥美娟議員提出這項議案，我亦會支持。
Deputy President I thank Ms Alice MAK for proposing this motion and I will support it
我對於領展過去數年的做法感到非常不滿，並衷心希望政府下定決心做些事。
I am extremely discontented with the practices of Link REIT in the past few years and I sincerely hope that the Government will drum up the resolve to do something about it
主席，今天同事提出"要求政府解決民生'三座大山'"的議案，我相信大家在大方向和原則上也認同無論是領展房地產投資信託基金、香港鐵路有限公司或強積性公積金對沖機制，均是必須解開的死結。
President regarding the motion on Requesting the Government to overcome the three big mountains in peoples livelihood proposed by a colleague today I think we all agree as a general direction and in principle that the Link Real Estate Investment Trust Link REIT the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL and the offsetting mechanism of the Mandatory Provident Fund are deadlocks that must be broken
但是，就領展這部分，將來長遠而言，政府會否、能否回購領展的物業？
But with regard to Link REIT in the long term will the Government or can the Government buy back the properties of Link REIT?
這固然是議會內大家一致的共識，大家也希望政府會這樣做，但當然要注意到，政府如果真的回購領展，所牽涉的公帑費用會是非常驚人的，特別是現時領展的股價已經達每股80多元。
This is certainly a consensus reached unanimously by Members of this Council as we all hope that the Government will do so . But of course it should be noted that if the Government really bought back Link REIT an extremely huge amount of public money would be involved especially as the share price of Link REIT is already over 80 per share now
然而，我想提出一個折衷的做法。
However I would like to suggest an expedient measure
在我們未到達那一步前，每次領展推出一些場地拍賣或招標時，其實政府可否從這角度來處理？
Before we can achieve that goal and whenever Link REIT puts up some venues for auction or tender can the Government take actions from this angle?
況且，大家不要忘記，領展出售的場地通常與公共房屋範圍相連，可能是市民消費能力較低的地方，甚至公屋群本身也是年齡比較老邁的地方，因此，當政府購回場地後，其實有可能令政府在重新思考應否重建該社區時減少其中一種阻力。
Moreover let us not forget that the venues put up for sale by Link REIT are usually adjacent to public housing which are probably places where the peoples spending power is lower or even in clusters of public housing with an older population . Therefore if the Government can buy back these venues actually it can perhaps remove one of the obstacles faced by the Government in considering whether to take forward the redevelopment of the community
舉例來說，啟業邨便是最典型的例子。
Kai Yip Estate is a most typical example . Members can take a look at it
所以，我經常說，回購領展是長遠的構思，我們希望政府能夠做到。
This is why I always say that buying back Link REIT is a long - term proposition and we hope that the Government can achieve it
不過，在中、短期方面，當領展出售物業時，為了滿足市民的需要，政府是否應該採取行動？
Having said that in the short - to - medium term when Link REIT puts up its properties for sale should the Government take actions in order to meet the needs of the residents?
在天馬商場易手後，裏面的商業活動停滯，令居民日常生活受到影響。
After the change of ownership the commercial activities in the Tin Ma Court Commercial Centre have come to a halt thus affecting the daily living of the residents
這正正反映出在領展出售商場後，再接手經營的人的考慮，往往不一定着眼於如何能夠進一步營運商場，因為他們不一定較領展厲害。
This has precisely shown that after Link REIT sold the shopping arcades the owners who have taken over may not necessarily give emphasis to furthering the operation of the shopping arcades in their consideration because they may not be as shrewd as Link REIT
他們在購買商場後，可能最先是考慮拆售停車場以致富，但後來卻發覺地契不許可。
After acquiring the shopping arcades the first thing they would consider might be the divestment of parking spaces in order to get rich only to find later that this is not permitted in the land lease
舉例來說，鑒於港鐵公司現時的營運模式，因此經常被股評人看成是地產發展商，所以港鐵公司的股價的溢價其實很大程度是來自其物業管理、物業發展等內容。
For instance given its modus operandi MTRCL is often considered as a real estate developer by stock analysts and so the share premium of MTRCL actually comes from its property management and property development businesses to a very large extent
不過，如果政府委任的行政總裁很清楚地表示，港鐵公司將來的任務只限於作為香港公共交通工具的提供者之一時，整個觀感便是港鐵公司回到務正業的環節。
But if the Chief Executive Officer or CEO appointed by the Government can state explicitly that the future role of MTRCL will be confined to operating a public transport provider in Hong Kong then the whole impression will be that MTRCL has returned to its proper business
因此，究竟政府所聘用或委任的CEO或港鐵公司的主席是帶着甚麼議程進入董事局，其實便決定了港鐵公司在營運上的態度和工作重點及核心，而這是政府在未回購港鐵公司前肯定可以做的事情，因為對於小股東而言，重要的是政府要說清楚究竟這間企業的定位和角色是甚麼，這在市場上當然會反映出來。
Therefore the attitude of MTRCL as well as the focus and core of its operation actually depend on the agenda items presented before the Board by the CEO or Chairman of MTRCL hired or appointed by the Government and this is definitely what the Government can do before buying back MTRCL . It is because to the small shareholders what matters is that the Government makes clear the position and role of this corporation which will certainly be reflected in the market
我們看見很多上市公司經常會改變公司本身的企業營運模式，從而令企業的發展有更清晰的方向。
We have seen that many listed companies often change their modi operandi to give their companies a clearer direction of development
我認為政府可以做的第二件事是，政府必須打破在整個交通運輸系統中，以鐵路為優先的策略。
I think the second thing that the Government can do is forgoing the strategy of according priority to railway in the public transport system
主席，對於"要求政府解決民生'三座大山'"的議案，我代表自由黨集中就強制性公積金對沖機制發言。
President as regards the motion on Requesting the Government to overcome the three big mountains in peoples livelihood on behalf of the Liberal Party I will speak with my focus on the offsetting mechanism of the Mandatory Provident Fund MPF
勞工界經常說強積金對沖機制令僱員權益多年來被蠶食，大大削弱強積金的退休保障功能。
The labour sector often says that the MPF offsetting mechanism has eroded employees rights and interests over the years significantly undermining MPFs function of providing retirement protection
這一點是自由黨絕對不認同的。
The Liberal Party absolutely disagree with such a notion
我重申，強積金制度在2000年12月1日實施時，只承襲《僱傭條例》中容許僱主以其在退休計劃所累積的款項，作為抵銷僱員的長期服務金及遣散費的規定。
I reiterate that when the MPF Scheme was implemented on 1 December 2000 it only adopted the requirement stipulated in the Employment Ordinance that allows employers to offset the long service payment and severance payment payable to an employee with the accrued contributions made to a retirement scheme
因此，強積金對沖機制並不是新事物。
Therefore the MPF offsetting mechanism is nothing new
說僱員權益因對沖而被蠶食是絕對不正確的，對沖是預知的安排，金錢最終會落入他們的口袋，並無被"沖"至何處。
It is absolutely incorrect to say employees rights and interests are eroded . The offsetting mechanism is a foreseen arrangement and the money will eventually be deposited into their pockets and will not be offset in whatever way
這種說法對僱主來說絕對不公平。
Such a notion is absolutely unfair to employers
現屆政府失信於人，沒有信守當年的承諾，現時勢在必行要取消對沖機制。
The current - term Government has gone back on its words and failed to honoured its promise made back then . It is now imperative to abolish the offsetting mechanism
表面上來看，政府是增加了承擔，但事實上卻沒有解決僱主日後所面對的財務負擔。
On the surface the Government has increased its commitment but in essence it does nothing to solve the financial burden falling on employers in the future
現時所謂"終極方案"的計算方法異常複雜，很多商界人士也不明白。
The current so - called ultimate option has an exceedingly complicated calculation method which many members of the business sector cannot comprehend
而政府也要大幅增加補貼額，並提供較長的過渡期，大費周章，但卻無助商界解決因遣散費及長期服務金所帶來的沉重開支。
And the Government also has to significantly increase the amount of subsidy and provide a longer transitional period . Having made such painstaking efforts still it fails to help the business sector solve the steep expenses arising from severance payment and long service payment
既然如此，自由黨聯同商界建議推行"基金池"的優化方案，設立一個基金來統合應付僱員的遣散費及長期服務金。
That being the case the Liberal Party together with the business sector proposes the introduction of an enhanced option of fund pool to set up a fund to cope with the severance payment and long service payment for employees in a centralized manner
僱主只須增加供款1%，就等於每年有60億元，足以應付目前每年大概30億元的整體僱員遣散費及長期服務金的需要，而且可以一直滾存應用，令計劃持續運作。
Just an additional contribution of 1 % by employers amounts to 6 billion every year which is sufficient to meet the current need for the aggregate severance payment and long service payment to employees ie . approximately 3 billion each year presently . Also such a sum can accumulate for future use for the sustainable operation of the scheme
既然"基金池"方案可以滿足勞方的要求，政府需要注資的金額亦減少，而且可以永久解決對沖的問題，是一個勞、資、政府三方均能夠得益的三贏方案。
The fund pool option can satisfy the requirements of the employees thus reducing the capital injection by the Government and permanently solving the offsetting problem . It is a win - win - win proposal beneficial to the employees the employers and the Government alike
然而，政府一直以"道德風險"為藉口，拒絕成立"基金池"。
Nevertheless the Government has been refusing to set up the fund pool citing moral hazard as an excuse
反觀政府並無提出相應的補助措施，以協助中小企應對日益困難的營商環境，實在有欠公允。
In contrast it is indeed unfair that the Government has not proposed corresponding supportive measures to assist small and medium enterprises in coping with the increasingly difficult business environment
其實，這些福利開支絕對不應該全數由商界"埋單"。
As a matter of fact such welfare expenses should never be totally borne by the business sector alone
長遠而言，這樣只會窒礙香港的經濟發展，實在不智。
In the long run it will only stifle the economic development of Hong Kong which is most unwise indeed
自由黨明白香港正面對人口老化的問題，而市民關注退休後的生活亦是理所當然，但以任何形式取消強積金對沖機制並非出路。
While the Liberal Party understands that Hong Kong now faces the problem of population ageing and people most certainly have concerns for their retirement life it is not a way out to abolish the MPF offsetting mechanism by any means
自由黨認為，當局可以研究其他替代方案，來取代現時的強積金對沖制度。
The Liberal Party holds that the authorities can study other alternative plans to replace the existing MPF offsetting mechanism
自由黨樂見香港有一套可行的退休保障方案，亦贊同為失業和退休的"打工仔"提供理想的保障計劃。
The Liberal Party is glad to see a feasible retirement protection scheme in place in Hong Kong and also subscribes to the provision of a desirable protection scheme for the unemployed and retired workers
然而，這些保障計劃應該屬自願性質，鼓勵參與，而不是強制實施，令僱主或僱員任何一方受損。
However such protection schemes should be founded on a voluntary basis where participation is encouraged but not made compulsory so that no harm should be inflicted on either employers or employees
因此，基於目前社會未有共識，自由黨認為不應該貿然撤銷對沖機制。
Therefore in the absence of a consensus in society the Liberal Party considers that the offsetting mechanism should not be hastily abolished
在現階段，不如化整為零，多管齊下，全面加強各項涉及有需要長者退休福利的措施，以及繼續優化強積金計劃，尤其是降低管理費，以免"打工仔"應有的利益繼續被蠶食。
At this stage it would be better to parcel up the whole plan into small parts and adopt a multi - pronged approach to comprehensively strengthen various measures involving retirement benefits for needy elderly and continue to enhance the MPF System especially reducing the management fees so as to prevent workers due benefits from being continually eroded
麥美娟議員剛才提到的"三座大山"，正是市民期望政府可以盡快處理的問題。
The three big mountains noted by Ms Alice MAK just now are precisely the issues which the public hope to be expeditiously addressed by the Government
主席，香港工會聯合會最關心的當然是"打工仔女"的就業、權益和職業安全。
President the employment rights and interests and occupational safety of wage earners are certainly issues about which the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU cares most eagerly
工聯會成立至今71年，一直以關心民生為主，切實推動政府做好改善民生的工作。
Since its inception 71 years ago FTU has focused primarily on peoples livelihood effectively driving the Government in doing a proper job of improving peoples lot
不得不提的是，"三座大山"一詞並非源自民間，而是由上屆政務司司長，即現屆特首所創。
It must be noted that the phrase three big mountains originated not in the community . Rather it was the creation of the last Chief Secretary for Administration or the incumbent Chief Executive
因此，大家也認為政府有責任竭盡所能找出解決方法，即使無法立竿見影，至少也應本着愚公移山的精神，在不同層面上找出解決方法，讓市民看到政府解決"三座大山"的決心。
Hence it is generally agreed that the Government is duty - bound to exert its best to find solutions to these problems . Even if no immediate effects can be achieved the Government should at least look for solutions at different levels in the spirit of the Foolish Old Man removing mountains demonstrating to the public its determination of overcoming the three big mountains
工聯會在這個問題上的立場十分清晰，就是要求政府盡快取消強積金對沖機制。
The stance of FTU on this issue is very clear that is the Government should expeditiously abolish the MPF offsetting mechanism
經過多年空談，上屆政府直至2017年任期快將屆滿前，才草草拋出一個取消對沖方案。
After years of empty talk the last - term Government waited until 2017 shortly before the expiration of its term to hastily float a proposal for abolishing the offsetting mechanism
政府後來又提出將補償金的上限由39萬元減至20萬元，"打工仔女"當然無法接受。
The Government subsequently proposed lowering the cap of compensation from 390,000 to 200,000 a suggestion that wage earners found utterly unacceptable
於是，這條"大尾巴"留給了今屆政府。
Hence this loose end was passed down to the current - term Government
我們肯定現屆特首取消對沖機制的決心，亦歡迎政府接納我們的訴求。
We approve of the incumbent Chief Executive in her determination to abolish the offsetting mechanism and welcome the Government taking onboard our aspirations
我們多番提出改良構思，最重要是要求政府承諾在取消強積金對沖機制後，僱員可獲得的權益總和不比現行制度少。
Time and again we have put forward improvement ideas and sought above all else an undertaking from the Government that the overall benefits to which employees would be entitled after the abolishment of the MPF offsetting mechanism should be no less than their original entitlement under the existing system
然而，自去年施政報告提出改良方案至今已有一段頗長時間，各界卻似乎未能達致進一步的共識，政府亦尚未公布任何細節方案，市民所得的相關資訊極之有限。
However a long time has passed since the revised proposal was announced in the Policy Address last year . The various parties concerned seem unable to reach a further consensus while the Government has yet announced the specifics of the proposal and the relevant information made available to public has been extremely limited
根據政府當局在去年年底的說法，政府的目標是在2020年向立法會提交賦權法例的草案，期望在2022年獲得通過，再過兩年才可望實施。
As suggested by the Administration at the end of last year the Government aims to submit a bill on the enabling legislation to the Legislative Council in 2020 which hopefully would be passed in 2022 and implemented two years later
假設一切順利，方案由公布到落實需時整整6年。
Assuming everything goes smoothly the proposal from announcement to implementation would take six full years to materialize
取消強積金對沖機制的理據是毋庸置疑的，我們的討論焦點亦已由"是否取消"轉為"何時取消"。
Given the unassailable case for abolishing the MPF offsetting mechanism the focus of our discussion has shifted from whether to when it should be done
要堵塞對沖機制這座"大山"的漏洞，政府必須迅速行動，不能一直拖延，直至最後一分鐘才草草了事。
To plug the loophole of this big mountain of offsetting mechanism the Government should act swiftly rather than dragging its feet until the last minute to deal with it hastily
須知道越遲取消機制，對沖金額就會越高，令更多"打工仔女"無法得到退休保障。
For the longer the abolishment of the offsetting mechanism is deferred the greater the amount of money that would fall prey to offsetting rendering ever more wage earners lack of retirement protection
另一方面，政府作為香港最大僱主，應率先取消對沖安排。
On the other hand the Government as the biggest employer in Hong Kong should take the lead in abolishing the offsetting arrangement
我們希望政府可以秉持落實延長產假時的精神，提早實行取消對沖機制，讓直接或間接受僱於政府的員工及早受惠。
We hope the Government will in keeping with the spirit of introducing the extended maternity leave advance the abolishment of the offsetting mechanism so that those employees directly or indirectly employed by the Government could be benefited early
現時，政府外判員工和非公務員合約僱員強制金被對沖的問題非常普遍。
At present it is very common for the staff of outsourced government services or those on non - civil service contracts to see their MPF contributions falling prey to the offsetting mechanism
主席，愚公移山是會被嘲笑的。
President removing mountains in the way the Foolish Old Man did would invite ridicule
所以，我希望政府加快步伐，憑藉毅力達到目標，讓市民大眾真正感受到政府"急市民之所急"。
Hence we hope the Government will quicken its pace and work towards this goal with perseverance showing a sense of urgency for the peoples immediate concerns that would resonate with the public
我絕對不是說領展沒有問題，特別是領展那種垂直壟斷的管理方式。
I certainly do not mean that there is no problem with Link REIT particularly given its management approach of vertical monopoly
我曾經幫助例如愛民邨的小租戶，他們無法租用那裏的鋪位，因為原來領展會挑選大租戶，這些與領展友好的大租戶先向領展租賃商鋪中間當然會收取一筆中間費用然後再出租給小商戶。
I once assisted small shop tenants like those in Oi Man Estate because they could not rent the shops there . It turned out that Link REIT would pick large tenants . These large tenants on good terms with Link REIT would first rent shops from Link REIT―of course intermediary fees would be charged―then rent them out to small commercial tenants
所以，責任其實不單是在商界，我想商界的範圍也十分廣闊，還包括中小微企。
Therefore the responsibility actually does not lie only in the business sector . I think the scope of the business sector is also very large and it also covers medium small and micro enterprises
我們最同情的，當然就是那些中小微企，但我認為社會亦無須兩極化。
As a matter of course we have the greatest sympathy for those medium small and micro enterprises but I also think that there is no need for society to become polarized
至於強積金對沖機制，正如司長剛才所說，現時已撥出293億元，相對地已經將"打工仔"和僱主的距離縮短。
As regards the offsetting mechanism under MPF as the Chief Secretary for Administration said just now at present 29.3 billion has been set aside and the differences between wage earners and employers have been narrowed relatively
我們這一代沒有人想當小僱主，很少人創業，不是當專業人士，便是寧願當"打工仔"，這說明了一個問題，便是其實香港在過去數十年很多人喜歡創業，不管多辛苦也會做，但時至今天，可能當僱主的收入比"打工仔"更少。
In our generation no one wants to be an employer and very few people want to start a business . They either want to be professionals or would rather be wage earners . This points to one problem that is in fact in the past several decades many people in Hong Kong liked to start businesses and no matter how hard it is they would still do so but nowadays albeit the income made from being an employer may even be less than that of a wage earner
所以，我希望大家在討論這個問題時，也要互換思維，今天我們在公營機構也是高級"打工仔"，福利可能真的比一些小僱主為佳。
In view of this I hope that when Members discuss this issue they have to put themselves in other peoples shoes . Nowadays we can be considered high - class wage earners in public organizations and our employment benefits may really be better off than those of some minor employers
在領展的問題上，我認為不是完全靠改變經濟結構、一些香港可能一直賴以成功的市場結構來處理，而是政府也可以"落水"的。
On the issues related to Link REIT I believe they cannot be dealt with entirely by changing the economic structure or the market structure on which Hong Kongs success hinges rather the Government can also get itself involved
我認為政府應該看看可在領展哪些商場旁邊多興建一些價廉物美的街市，多興建鋪位，以增加市場競爭，讓它無法壟斷，這樣租戶自然會轉到政府提供的空間。
I believe the Government should identify the shopping malls of Link REIT in the vicinity of which it can build markets selling inexpensive quality goods and providing more shop spaces to promote market competition so that Link REIT cannot enjoy monopolization . In this way shop tenants will naturally switch to the spaces provided by the Government . The same is true of parking spaces
政府應該認真、徹底地考慮這個問題。
The Government should consider this issue seriously and thoroughly
我想特別向朱凱廸議員指出，香港能夠爭取到"一國兩制"，除了因為我們在法治等方面的成就之外，很重要的一點，就是我們經濟體制上的優勢，否則也很難說服中央，為何我們可以不實行內地的制度。
In particular I wish to point out to Mr CHU Hoi - dick that apart from our achievements in such areas as the rule of law one very important point in Hong Kong securing the one country two systems arrangement is the superiority of our economic system . Without it it will be difficult to convince the Central Authorities why we do not have to implement the Mainland system
因此，有鑒於市場經濟、低稅政策等，我希望大家考慮方案時，盡可能不要殺雞取卵，而是應該對症下藥。
For this reason in view of the market economy the low - tax policy etc I hope Members will not kill the goose that lays the golden egg when considering various proposals but should administer the right cure to the illness
如果麥美娟議員想澄清，她可以到外面跟記者說。
If Ms Alice MAK wants to clarify this she may speak to reporters outside the Chamber
