香港城市基建老化的現象已逐漸浮現，大街小巷不時會有各式各樣的公共設施維修工程。
Signs of the ageing of urban infrastructure have gradually surfaced in Hong Kong as we will see on the streets different types of repair works being carried out for public facilities from time to time
"派錢"雖然令市民高興，但我亦要強調，政府應未雨綢繆，投資未來，更新基建設施，修橋補路，更換水渠、水管等設施。
While offering a cash handout can please the public I must stress that the Government should prepare for a rainy day and invest for the future by renewing infrastructure facilities carrying out repairs of bridges and roads and replacing facilities such as drainage pipes water mains etc
預算案預留30億元推動"樓宇更新大行動2.0"，透過促進適當的維修保養，保障樓宇安全，延長樓宇可使用年期，減慢市區老化的速度，以改善居住環境。
The Budget has earmarked 3 billion for the promotion of Operation Building Bright 2.0 . Through facilitating proper repairs and maintenance of buildings the objective is to ensure building safety and extend the useful life of buildings to slow down the pace of urban decay thereby improving the living conditions
不過，除了提升樓宇的功能外，如果我們可以在相關的專業顧問方面多作一點投資，亦可更新及美化樓宇外觀，令老化的樓宇變身成為美輪美奐的大廈。
But apart from upgrading the functions of buildings more investment in engaging relevant professional consultancies can also renew and embellish the façade of buildings turning old premises into magnificent buildings
我經常也說，一些小型工程應讓中小型企業和年青的專業人士參與，讓他們發揮所長。
As I have always said some minor works should allow the involvement of small and medium enterprises SMEs and young professionals to enable them to give play to their talents
所以，預算案在未來5個財政年度增撥2億5,000萬元協助香港企業，特別是中小企，把握"一帶一路"和大灣區的機遇，我對此表示認同。
In this connection it is stated in the Budget that in the next five financial years an additional funding of 250 million in total will be provided for assisting local enterprises SMEs in particular in seizing opportunities arising from the Belt and Road Initiative and the Bay Area development
要把握機遇，便不能忽視創新科技的使用和發展。
This I support . To seize opportunities we must not neglect the application and development of innovative technology
預算案提出撥款10億元成立建造業創新及科技基金，相信可以提升和支援業界使用創新科技。
The Budget proposed to set up a 1 billion Construction Innovation and Technology Fund which I believe can boost the capacities of the industry and provide support to it in harnessing innovative technology
不過，我也很關注政府內部能否同步進行，並為相關的公務員提供合適的培訓，以免出現政府系統不能支援相關作業系統的情況，白白浪費我們的資源。
However I am greatly concerned about whether this can be implemented internally in the Government in tandem and whether suitable training can be provided to the civil servants concerned so as to avoid incompatibility of the government system with the relevant operating systems which would otherwise lead to wastage of resources
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，支持將有關總目的款額納入《2018年撥款條例草案》。
With these remarks Deputy Chairman I support the relevant heads standing part of the Appropriation Bill 2018
政府現時坐擁過萬億元財政儲備，年度財政盈餘也高達1,380億元，理應思考如何善用財政盈餘，除了繼續堅守"應使則使"的原則外，也應想想如何與市民分享經濟成果。
With more than 1,000 billion in fiscal reserves and a fiscal surplus as much as 138 billion the Government ought to consider ways to optimize the fiscal surplus . Besides adhering to the principle of committing resources as and when needed the Government should also consider ways to share with the public the fruits of economic development
市民看到政府庫房"水浸"，自己的生活卻十分緊絀，難怪他們對政府感到不滿。
No wonder the public are dissatisfied with the Government when they see that the Treasury is flooded with money when they are living from hand to mouth
民建聯早前以"投資未來，分享成果"為主題，提出一系列改善民生、還富於民的建議措施，當中包括不少容易實行而且能讓市民分享經濟成果的政策，包括65歲免審查領取"生果金"、60歲以上長者享有醫療券及兩元乘車船優惠、提供輪候公屋租金津貼，以及寬免公屋住戶租金等。
Earlier DAB proposed a series of measures entitled Invest in the future and share the fruits of development for improvement of the peoples livelihood and return of wealth to the people . Among others the measures include many policies that can be implemented easily to enable the public to share the fruits of economic development such as granting non - means - tested fruit grant to people aged 65 or above allowing elderly people aged above 60 to enjoy health care vouchers and 2 concessary fare for travelling on public transport providing rental allowances for people waiting for public rental housing PRH allocation waiver of PRH rent and so on
可是，政府一意孤行，即使有盈餘，卻不願意這樣做，難怪市民質疑政府還富於民的誠意。
Nevertheless the Government has obstinately turned down our request despite its abundant surplus . No wonder the public doubt the Governments sincerity in returning wealth to them
面對多方壓力下，政府最後推出一項補漏拾遺的措施，向合資格市民發放一筆為數4,000元的款項，讓各階層也可分享經濟成果，卻又被市民批評申請手續複雜、行政費高昂，有些市民更質疑政府這樣做的動機。
In the face of pressure from various sides the Government has finally introduced a gap - plugging measure by granting a sum of 4,000 to eligible members of the public to allow people from various strata to share the fruits of economic development . However the measure has been criticized by the public for its complicated application formalities exorbitant administrative fees and what is more some people have even queried the Governments motive of introducing this measure
這項政策公布後，我在地區解答了不少市民的查詢。
After the announcement of this measure I have answered the queries raised by quite many people in the districts
政府一向喜歡用數字來顯示政績，既然司長在預算案臚列了很多數字，我現在就跟政府計算一下房屋方面的數字。
The Government is fond of demonstrating its performance with figures . Given the numerous figures cited by the Financial Secretary in the Budget I will now share with the Government some figures about housing
讓我先談談單位供應。
Let me begin with the supply of flats
《長遠房屋策略》清楚訂明為期10年的滾動供應數字，即陳帆局長掛在口邊的28萬個公營房屋單位及18萬個私營房屋單位。
The Long Term Housing Strategy LTHS clearly provides for the supply of housing based on a 10 - year rolling programme that is the supply of 280 000 PRH units and 180 000 private housing units frequently mentioned by Secretary Frank CHAN
如果以每年25,000個公屋單位可分配予輪候冊的申請人計算，不足的公營單位數字達4萬個之多，而輪候時間也因此延長了19個月，副局長，請注意是延遲了19個月。
If 25 000 PRH units per annum can be allocated to applicants on the Waiting List the shortfall of PRH units will reach 40 000 . Moreover the waiting period will thus be extended by 19 months . Under Secretary please note that there will be a 19 - month delay
土地是本港最短缺的資源，房屋也是社會人士感到最困擾的問題。
While land is in the shortest supply in Hong Kong housing is also a problem badly troubling members of the community
在分配土地資源的時候，政府尤其應重視公平和合理。
In allocating land resources the Government attaches great importance to fairness and reasonableness in particular
社會經過討論才達成了《長遠房屋策略》的公私營房屋比例及供應目標，但公營房屋現在卻出現了一個重大缺口，另一邊廂的私樓目標卻已達標，甚至可以說是超標。
The community has held discussions before reaching a consensus on the ratio between PRH units and private housing units stated in LTHS as well as the supply objective but now public housing has a huge opening . On the other hand the private sector has achieved or even exceeded its target
政府為何不能把部分私營土地改變為公營房屋用地呢？
Why can the Government not change some private land into land for public housing construction?
代理主席，如果用住屋來區分，社會最基層、最需要政府伸出援手的人，就是收入低微的"劏房"租戶。
Deputy Chairman if housing is used for differentiation purposes tenants of subdivided units who earn a meagre income must be those at the lowest stratum and in the greatest need of government assistance
根據學者的估計，這類住戶現時約有16萬，"上樓"必定是他們長遠改善生活的途徑。
According to the estimate made by academics there are currently 160 000 or so such tenants . Getting PRH allocation must be a channel for them to improve their lot long term
我借此機會再次提醒政府當局，考慮採取以下方法讓他們的住屋問題得以紓緩。
I would like to take this opportunity to remind the Administration to consider adopting the following methods to ameliorate their housing problem
第一，增加土地供應。
First to increase the supply of land
不過，根據我剛才提出的數據，未來5年恐怕也難以實現。
According to the data cited by me just now I am afraid the supply of land can hardly be increased in the next five years
雖然政府當局經常說"綠置居"與公屋可以"一換一"，但是由購入"綠置居"家庭收到鎖匙到交回公屋單位，然後房屋署須為單位進行翻新再作分配，差不多需時6個月，絕非局長和特首所說的44天。
Although the Administration often mentions the one - to - one arrangement for GSH units and PRH units it takes nearly six months for a household which has purchased a GSH unit to return its PRH unit after getting the key and for the Housing Department HD to refurbish and reallocate the recovered PRH unit . The number of days taken is definitely not 44 as mentioned by the Secretary and the Chief Executive
如何能夠在44天內做得到呢？
How can the entire process be completed within 44 days?
此外，當局推出"綠置居"的時候，時任局長張炳良清楚指出，"綠置居"屬於資助出售房屋，應計算在資助房屋的數字內。
Furthermore when GSH was launched the then Secretary Prof Anthony CHEUNG clearly pointed out that GSH should be included in subsidized housing figures for calculation purposes as it was regarded as subsidized sale housing
我希望陳局長不要帶議員"遊花園"和玩數字遊戲，也希望他不要攪亂公屋供應的進度和數字。
I hope Secretary Frank CHAN will not take us all round the circle and play number games . Neither should he mess up the progress and figures of public housing supply
除了租金津貼外，我今天還呼籲政府採納民建聯的另一項建議，容許未補地價的居屋業主，將單位以低於市價租給社企、社福機構或慈善團體，再轉租給基層家庭。
In addition to a rent allowance I would also like to call on the Government today to agree to another proposal put forward by DAB to allow Home Ownership Scheme HOS flat owners who have not paid premium to rent their flats to social enterprises social welfare organizations or charity organizations at a rate lower than the market rate so that the flats can be subleased to grass - roots households
當然，在這10多萬個基層家庭中，還有大批沒有資格"上樓"，但又買不起私樓的中低收入家庭，也需政府協助。
Certainly among these 100 000 - odd grass - roots households a large number of low - to - medium - income households which are ineligible for PRH allocation but cannot afford to buy private flats are in need of government assistance as well
對於這批較為夾心的家庭，我希望政府當局可以考慮以下建議： 第一，優化居屋的銷售安排，增設網上申請。
To assist these sandwiched households I hope the Administration can consider the following proposals First to improve the sale arrangement for HOS flats and accept online applications
房屋署署長較早前在立法會被我再三追問後答應跟進，我也希望房屋署與時並進，在下一期推出居屋時容許網上遞交申請。
Earlier on the Director of Housing undertook to take follow - up action after my repeated questioning . I do hope that HD can move with the times by accepting online applications in launching HOS flats in the next phase
第二，全面檢討居屋的定價安排，容許售價與市價脫鈎，即不再死守市價七折的指引，而以申請人的負擔能力作為依歸。
Second to conduct a comprehensive review of the pricing arrangements for HOS flats and allow the unpegging of HOS prices from market prices . In other words the 30 % off guideline will not be adhered to strictly and the affordability of applicants will be taken into account instead
第三，設立租金扣稅額。
Third to provide tax deduction for rentals
我留意到司長在這方面積極回應我們，表示只剩下一些執行細節及稅務局電腦系統更新的技術問題，我希望司長盡快承諾在下一個年度落實計劃。
I note that the Financial Secretary has proactively responded to us and indicated that only some implementation details and technical problems related to the updating of the computer system of the Inland Revenue Department remain to be dealt with . I hope the Financial Secretary can undertake to implement the plan expeditiously in the next fiscal year
代理主席，我還想藉着這個機會轉達九龍東居民的數個強烈訴求。
Deputy Chairman I would like to take this opportunity to express several strong aspirations of the residents of Kowloon East
其次，我希望藉着觀塘市中心重建這個契機，政府、市區重建局和香港鐵路有限公司積極考慮擴建觀塘站月台，以紓緩觀塘站的迫爆情況。
Furthermore I hope the Government the Urban Renewal Authority URA and the MTR Corporation Limited can take the opportunity of the redevelopment of the town centre of Kwun Tong to ameliorate the congestion of the Kwun Tong Station
否則，當市建局完成重建而月台還未擴建的話，便會出現"蘇州過後無艇搭"的情況，希望當局不要錯失良機。
Otherwise a golden opportunity will be missed if the expansion works are still underway upon the completion of the redevelopment works carried out by URA . I hope the golden opportunity will not be missed
特首說過甚麼，何謂理財新哲學、何謂施政新思維、何謂與你同行......
The Chief Executive has explained what it means by a new fiscal philosophy a new idea of administration connection
我很希望政府能夠順應民意，真正體察民情和回應市民訴求。
I very much hope that the Government can pay heed to public opinions appreciate public sentiments and respond to the aspirations of the public
4月24日此事絕對與香港有關美國駐港領事唐偉康在香港外國記者會的午餐會演說時表示，中國違反了世界貿易組織的承諾，而且已經達到不利美國的程度，因此美方現在"有正當理由要求賠償"。
ZTE Corporation was the first victim Huawei may be next . On 24 April―this is absolutely relevant to Hong Kong―US Consul General Kurt TONG commented at a luncheon of the Foreign Correspondents Club that Chinas breaches of the commitments made under the World Trade Organization were sufficiently serious and detrimental to the United States that the United States are now justified in claiming damages . Kurt TONG borrowed a metaphor in his speech China has drawn a deserved yellow card
唐偉康亦在當日的演說提到一個比喻："中國已拿了黃牌，黃牌是要令球員在傷害別人前有機會改變踢球風格。"這句說話明顯是要警惕香港及中國的官員，希望能夠回復到過去的經濟狀況。
Yellow cards are an opportunity for a player to change their style of play before someone gets hurt which was a clear warning to Hong Kong and Chinese officials that the United States expected to restore the previous economic conditions
但是，在香港，無論財政司司長或政府都以為，中國走上資本主義的金光大道，我們可以繼續做買辦的角色，改變服務的對象，即一直說的"悶聲發大財"。
However in Hong Kong both the Financial Secretary and the Government believe that China has embarked on the golden path of capitalism and we can continue to play the role of a comprador with a different service target and that is to keep our mouth shut and make a fortune
財政預算案內大部分的投資，亦是沿用過去"悶聲發大財"的風格。
The majority of the investments in the Budget followed the past approach of keeping our mouth shut and making a fortune
但問題是，中國走國家資本主義的道路已明顯不過。
However the direction of China towards state capitalism is there for all to see
國企有政府撐腰，外企根本無從競爭，在香港亦是如是。
Foreign enterprises have no way to compete with state - owned enterprises backed by the Chinese Government . This is also the case in Hong Kong
但這些所謂成功的國企，是靠打好官場關係才能生存下去的。
These so - called successful state - owned enterprises could survive only by building a good relationship with the bureaucracy
於是，香港今天給大家的印象似乎只是中共的"白手套"。
Hence the only impression that Hong Kong gives today seems to be the white gloves of CPC
同日，中共總書記習近平在一個政治學習會議上表示，要"深刻感悟和把握馬克思主義真理力量，堅定馬克思主義信仰......提高全黨運用馬克思主義基本原理解決當代中國實際問題的能力和水平。
On the same day 24 April at a political study meeting XI Jinping General Secretary of CPC demanded to understand and grasp the power of the truth of Marxism firm up Marxist belief enhance the ability of the whole Party to solve the practical problems of contemporary China with the basic principles of Marxism
"同時，他亦提到："《共產黨宣言》揭示的人類社會最終走向共產主義的必然趨勢，奠定了共產黨人堅定理想信念、堅守精神家園的理論基礎。
He also said that The Communist Manifesto has revealed the inevitable development of human societies towards communism and laid a foundation for the firm belief of the communists to adhere to their ideals and convictions
" 我引述以上兩件事件，是想回應香港現時的財政預算及政治狀況。
I quoted the two events in response to Hong Kongs current Budget and political situation
習近平的發言明確顯示，在中共的眼中，國家資本主義與歐美陣營的財力及科技角力，似乎要達到兩個目的：第一，是要"興無滅資"；第二，是"東風壓倒西風"。
XI Jinpings speech has clearly indicated that in the eyes of CPC the financial and technological struggles between state capitalism and the Europe - America camp serve two purposes first to foster proletarian ideology and eliminate bourgeois ideology; second to make the East prevail over the West
我再回看唐偉康的演辭，有一點提到香港，亦與我們的財政預算有關。
A point in Kurt TONGs speech about Hong Kong was related to the Budget
他說"不希望香港成為中美角力下的'無聲受害者'，當下的形勢讓香港有機會展示自身的長遠價值，扮演幫助中國轉型，與連結世界經濟的門戶"。
He stated that he does not expect Hong Kong to become a voiceless victim sandwiched between the US - China trade friction . The current situation presents a real opportunity for Hong Kong to demonstrate its lasting value as a transformative portal linking China and the rest of the world economy
但是，中共和特區政府傀儡樂此不疲地收緊香港原有的自由，例如港澳辦前主任王光亞在4月25日出席北京的會議時提到，在香港呼喊"結束一黨專政"口號的人不可以參選立法會，因為此舉有違國家憲法。
However CPC and its puppets in the Hong Kong Government revel in tightening the freedoms originally available in Hong Kong . For instance former director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office WANG Guangya said at a meeting in Beijing on 25 April that those calling for an end to one - party dictatorship may not be allowed to run in Legislative Council elections as they violate Chinas constitution
明顯地，在中美角力的格局下，香港人似乎被特區政府和中共傀儡擺上檯面，萬一引來美國援引《香港關係法》，不再承認香港的自治地位，造成的經濟震盪恐怕會超過1997年及2008年的總和。
Obviously in the struggles between China and the United States Hong Kong people seem to have been put on the spot by the Hong Kong Government and puppets of CPC . If by any chance the United States invokes the Hong Kong Policy Act because of that and ceases to recognize Hong Kongs autonomous status I am afraid the economic turmoil thus caused will be more serious than the ones in 1997 and 2008 combined
所以，陳茂波司長的預算案內的所謂宏圖大計，正如我的發言題目所言，全是空想，全是空中樓閣，包括500億元的所謂創科局撥款，以研發香港本地的科研，又或在"一帶一路"下香港如何獲得前所未有的經濟機遇，一切也是空談，一切也只是空中樓閣。
Therefore as pointed out in the title of my speech the ambitious plans in the Budget by Secretary Paul CHAN are all castles in the air . The 500 billion funding to the Innovation and Technology Bureau for local scientific researches or the unprecedented economic opportunities under the Belt and Road Initiative are merely empty talk and castles in the air
最後，我想引用商務及經濟發展局局長邱騰華最近的說法。他說希望美國尊重香港是獨立貿易關稅地區的身份，並寄望港府能以第三方的身份，在中美貿易關係越趨惡劣的環境下參與磋商。
Lastly I would like to cite a statement made by the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Edward YAU recently who asked the United States to respect Hong Kongs status as a separate customs territory and hoped the Hong Kong Government can participate in the negotiation as a third party under the worsening trade relations between China and the United States
他更說要享受"一國兩制"的經貿好處，但同時又要在政治上全面赤化，向北京的主子獻媚。
He expected to benefit from the economic and trade advantages brought about by one country two systems all the while implementing full political communization and flattering the masters in Beijing
這些就是香港人一直以來典型的"韋小寶"、"白手套"和買辦心態。
This is the typical WEI Xiaobao white gloves and comprador mentality of Hong Kong people
但是，問題是香港是否配得起這個獨特地位？
The question remains Does Hong Kong still live up to its unique status?
主導權一直也在美方，他們已劃下底線，已亮出黃牌。
The United States have always had the final say on that . They have drawn the bottom line and shown a yellow card
如果不願意看到香港的自治權一點一滴地流失，按現時香港特區政府左閃右避、把香港人置於檯面的做法，香港最後只會難以幸免於難。
We do not wish to see Hong Kongs autonomy slip away but with the Governments evasive approach and putting Hong Kong people on the spot there is little chance that Hong Kong can be spared
若香港的戰略定位不清，財政司司長陳茂波的預算案也只屬空談。
If Hong Kongs strategic positioning is not clear the Budget of Financial Secretary Paul CHAN is merely empty talk
我們今天討論這份預算案，其實說到底也只是一種形象政治，無論"派錢"或將來向醫療基金撥款多少，均是形象政治。
At the end of the day our discussion on the Budget today is nothing but image politics . Cash handouts or future fundings to the medical fund are all image politics
但是，很可惜，這些公關伎倆被現屆政府弄至一塌糊塗，"派錢"也落得民怨載道。
Unfortunately these public relations tactics have been all messed up by the current - term Government which has aroused peoples grievances even by making a cash handout
最後，就這份預算案，我只作出最後的呼籲，就是希望多位特區官員和香港的中共顧問思考就我這篇發言中最重要的評價：香港有經 濟、政治和文化競爭力，只因香港有自由。
Insofar as this Budget is concerned here I call on the Government officials and advisers of CPC in Hong Kong to give thought to the important remark in my speech Hong Kong is economically culturally and politically competitive precisely because it is free
所以，對於這份預算案，我只能投反對票，因為這份預算案只是空談和空中樓閣。
Therefore I can only vote against this Budget because it is merely empty talk and castles in the air
我們見到財政司司長在2月28日公布的預算案，並未達致全民共享經濟成果的效果。
We saw that the Budget presented by the Financial Secretary on 28 February failed to achieve the effect of sharing the fruits of economic success with all the people
在政府公布補漏方案後，市民的反映當然十分激烈，大家也說整個審查機制非常複雜，申請程序亦不清晰，很多市民都不知道自己究竟是否符合資格申領4,000元或當中的差額，亦不知道如何計算差額。
After the Government announced the proposal for plugging the gaps public reactions were certainly strong . Everyone said that the whole vetting mechanism was very complicated and also the application procedures were unclear . Many people did not know whether they were actually eligible for claiming 4,000 or the balance
很多市民來到我們的辦事處求助和查詢細節，亦在我們的臉書上留言，責罵政府制訂了這麼複雜的措施，最後只是折騰市民。
Neither did they know how to calculate the balance . Many members of the public came to our office to seek assistance and enquire about the details . They also left messages on our Facebook page to slam the Government for formulating such a complicated measure which would only end up causing more troubles to them
希望政府會聆聽市民的意見，以便民、利民為前提，盡量精簡有關措施的申請及審查機制。
I hope the Government will listen to public views and streamline the relevant application and vetting mechanisms for the relevant measure as far as possible on the premise of bringing convenience and benefits to the people
其實我們認為，這問題所在，就是政府現行做法落後，彷似仍在使用以前的視窗95般，為甚麼我們現時仍未能做好大數據分析？
In fact in our view the problem lies in the existing outdated practice of the Government as though it is still using the obsolete Windows 95 . Why are we still unable to make good use of big data for conducting analyses now?
第二點是，預算案提及會預留80億元以改善18區的地區設施。
The second point is it was mentioned in the Budget that 8 billion would be set aside for improving district facilities in all the 18 districts
最近沙田民政事務處向沙田區議會提交文件，表示在這項新措施下，沙田區將會在大圍村南路大圍遊樂場現址興建一座政府大樓，提供的設施包括：小型圖書館、普通科門診診所、會議室及綜合用途室、長者鄰舍中心，以及公眾停車場。
Recently the Sha Tin District Office has submitted a paper to the Sha Tin District Council indicating that under this new initiative a government building will be constructed at the existing site of Tai Wai Playground at Tsuen Nam Road Tai Wai in Sha Tin District . The facilities which will be provided include a small library a general outpatient clinic conference rooms multi - purpose rooms a Neighbourhood Elderly Centre and a public car park
其實這座政府大樓便是我們經常提及的綜合市政大樓。
This government building is in fact a municipal services complex which we often talk about
事實上，沙田和大圍的人口將於2024年飆升至72萬人。
In fact the population in Sha Tin and Tai Wai will surge to 720 000 in 2024
人口激增，但區內很多設施已經非常殘舊和落後，尤其是公眾街市，大家也聽聞不少，大圍街市也只是近年才討論如何加裝空調系統，而其他康體設施、圖書館及停車場等服務均嚴重滯後。
The population has been increasing drastically but many facilities in the district particularly public markets are dilapidated and outdated . We have heard a lot of such comments . It was not until the recent years that there were discussions about the installation of an air - conditioning system in Tai Wai Market
所以，我們一直爭取在大圍興建綜合市政大樓。
suffer a serious lag . For this reason we have all along been striving for the construction of a municipal services complex in Tai Wai
我曾在2016年11月16日的立法會會議上提出質詢，要求政府在大圍興建綜合市政大樓，現任"財爺"陳茂波司長當時亦有作出回應，他表示未有這計劃。
At the Legislative Council meeting on 16 November 2016 I asked a question requesting the Government to construct a municipal services complex in Tai Wai . At that time the incumbent Financial Secretary Paul CHAN replied that there was no such plan
我們十分慶幸今屆政府終於開了綠燈，回應市民和我們的訴求，落實興建綜合市政大樓，總算是遲來的春天。
We are glad that the current - term Government has finally given the green light and confirmed the construction of a municipal services complex in response to public aspirations and ours . It can be considered a belated spring
不過，根據政府的建議，在大樓內提供的設施並沒有包括我們一直要求的公共街市。
However according to the Governments proposal the facilities to be provided in the complex do not include a public market which we have all along requested
我們希望民政事務局能夠仔細聆聽居民和地區組織的訴求，重新定位，令市政大樓內提供的設施和服務能夠滿足居民的實際需要。
We hope the Home Affairs Bureau can listen to the aspirations of the residents and local organizations carefully and conduct repositioning so that the facilities and services provided in the municipal services complex can meet the residents actual needs
我和大圍很多居民均熱切期盼這座大樓可以早日落成。
Many residents in Tai Wai and I eagerly look forward to the early completion of this complex
代理主席，預算案亦提及預留20億元，在未來10年推行街市現代化計劃。
Deputy Chairman it was also mentioned in the Budget that 2 billion would be earmarked for implementing a Market Modernisation Programme over the next 10 years
其實我剛才的發言也提到街市的問題。
Actually I also mentioned the problems of markets in my speech just now
現在雖說我們設有現代化的街市，但何謂現代化街市？
Now it is said that we have modernized markets but what is meant by modernized markets?
是否單單改善了消防裝置和通風設備，或安裝了冷氣機及粉飾了外牆，便是現代化街市呢？
Can a market be modernized simply by improving the fire service installation and ventilation equipment or installing air conditioners and whitewashing the external walls?
所以，我們希望政府會將創新科技納入這些工程範圍。
Hence we hope the Government will incorporate innovation and technology into these works
