二 有見東涌近日的情況，政府已召開多次跨部門會議，作出應對。
2 In view of the recent situation in Tung Chung the Government has called various inter - departmental meetings to tackle the matter
根據過去數個周末的經驗，經大橋香港口岸入境的旅客人次中，約有五分之一沒有轉乘本港的公共交通工具離開口岸到香港各區。
Based on the experience gained from the past few weekends around one fifth of visitors arriving at Hong Kong through HZMB BCF did not leave BCF to visit other districts in Hong Kong by taking local public transportation
政府正與內地有關當局研究開通大橋東人工島予上述旅行團遊客，讓這類旅 客無需進入香港特區境內就可遊覽大橋，並從東人工島折返珠海或澳門。
The Government is exploring with relevant Mainland authorities the opening of HZMBs East Artificial Island to the aforementioned group tourists so as to allow such tourists to visit HZMB and return to Zhuhai or Macao from the East Artificial Island without crossing the border of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
此外，政府正着手安排在大橋香港口岸旅檢大樓內增設臨時小型店鋪或攤位，讓旅客購買簡單的手信。
In addition the Government is arranging for the setting up of temporary small - scale shops or booths in HZMB BCF to allow travellers to buy souvenirs therein
我們亦研究讓美食車在旅檢大樓附近和欣澳服務遊客。
We are also exploring the introduction of food trucks to serve travellers near BCF and in Sunny Bay
另一方面，運輸署已自今天起，就本地旅遊巴於口岸營運的安排實施新措施。
On the other hand the Transport Department TD has implemented new measures concerning the operating arrangements of domestic tour coaches at BCF today 21 November
在新措施下，已登記的旅遊巴營辦商只要在前一天晚上9時前，通過運輸署網上系統提交申請及完成簡單手續，就可在第二天進入口岸上客區上客。
Under the new measures registered coach operators could enter BCF pick - up area to pick up passengers on any day provided that they had submitted an application and completed certain simple procedures via TDs online system by 9col00 pm the prior day
這項安排將有助香港本地接待社與內地入境旅行社合作，透過靈活調撥旅遊巴，紓緩東涌區內的人流。
This arrangement will help Hong Kong receiving travel agents and Mainland inbound travel agents establish cooperation so as to reduce the influx of visitors into Tung Chung through the flexible deployment of tour coaches
此外，穿梭巴士營辦商正全力籌備及測試供團體旅客預約服務的網上系統，期望於本周五起實施。旅行社或團體主辦單位可透過網上系統，購買翌日起或以後的指定日期及時段的穿梭巴士車票，亦可同時購買回程或來回車票。新安排將有助管理及調節各時段的客流，避免團體旅客集中在同一時段進出境，同時縮短旅客的候車時間。
Furthermore shuttle bus operators are working full steam ahead to prepare and test the online pre - booking system in the hope of implementing it from this Friday 23 November such that travel agents or organizers of tour groups could through the online system
雖然如此，我亦要感謝政府聽取我們的意見。
Nevertheless I must also thank the Government for heeding our views
例如，我們早前分析數據後，在第一天便建議應對該五分之一的非入境旅客實施分流、盡量加快及加強香港口岸旅檢大樓商場的服務，以及開通東人工島讓旅客即時回程，無需進入香港境內。
For instance after analysing some figures we already proposed on day one to divert those non - entry visitors to Hong Kong who accounted for one fifth of all visitors to expedite and enhance service provision as much as possible at the shopping centre of BCFs passenger clearance building and to open up the eastern artificial island to enable the immediate return of visitors and spare them the need to enter Hong Kongs territory
主席，我希望局長答覆會否將旅遊簽注限制擴大，並且將"一周一行"收緊至"一年八行"。
President I hope that the Secretary can answer the question of whether the authorities will expand the exit endorsement restrictions and tighten the relevant arrangement from one trip per week to eight trips per year
在這方面，我們採取的措施與尹兆堅議員或其他議員提出的措施是一致的，着眼於能否減少這類入境旅客的數目。
In this regard our measures are consistent with those proposed by Mr Andrew WAN and other Members in the sense that the focus is on the possibility to reduce the number of such inbound visitors
我亦想在此提述另一點，當我們預計在黃金周或春節期間會有大量旅客訪港時，我們會進行跨部門工作，目的是減少或紓緩旅客來港的情況。
I also wish to bring up another point here . When we foresee large numbers of inbound visitors during the Golden Week or the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday we will undertake inter - departmental work with the aim of reducing or alleviating the entry of visitors into Hong Kong
當然，情況不斷變化，我們會繼續密切留意。
Certainly we will continue to keep a close watch on the changing situation
主席，大橋自10月24日開通至今不足一個月，每星期皆出現不同情況。
President since the commissioning of HZMB less than one month ago on 24 October we have seen different situations every week
不過，在政府與交通業界及旅遊業界保持緊密聯繫，因應出現的不同混亂情況採取應變措施後，我們已看到成效。
But after the Government has maintained close liaison with the transport and tourism sectors and adopted measures in response to various chaos we have seen some fruit
局長剛才作答時所提供的資料顯示，雖然旅行團數目由首星期的70個增至上星期的700個，但東涌的混亂情況並沒有重演。
The information provided in the Secretarys earlier reply shows that despite an increase in the number of tour groups from 70 in the first week to 700 last week the chaos in Tung Chung has not occurred again
因為業界與政府當局合作，把旅客分流至不同景點。
The reason is that the industry has joined hands with the Administration in diverting visitors to different tourist attractions
不過，局長剛才亦指出，仍有三成旅行團沒有登記，我認為情況並不理想。
But as the Secretary pointed out just now 30 % of the tour groups are not registered tour groups . In my view this is undesirable
在過去短短的三四個周末之間，我們已看到情況明顯改善。
We have seen obvious improvement over a short span of the past three or four weeks
有部分入境旅行團最初可能沒有留意法例規定，因此我們已向內地有關當局作出清晰解說及發出指令，以免他們誤墮法網。
Some inbound tour groups might have overlooked the statutory requirements at the very beginning so we have offered clear explanations to the relevant Mainland authorities and issued directives to avoid their unwitting violation of the law
我認為，疏導和分流旅客只是將問題"掃到床下底"，而即使將東人工島變成一個只售賣奶粉的島，亦只是"治標不治本"。
In my view alleviating and diverting visitor flows is simply the same as sweeping the problem under the carpet . And even turning the eastern artificial island into an island where only formula milk is sold can merely treat the symptoms without addressing the problem
不過，任何交通運輸工具都有乘載上限。
But any mode of transport has its own maximum seating capacity
我們最近已推出新安排，讓穿梭巴士承辦商預售團體車票，包括回程車票，以便內地來港旅客知悉有關交通情況。
We have introduced a new arrangement enabling the presale of group tickets by the shuttle bus operator including return tickets so that inbound Mainland visitors may get to know the transport condition
某程度上，這亦可算是從源頭作出限制。
To some extent it can be regarded as an attempt to restrict the number at source
每輛穿梭巴士的載客量和運轉時間基本上設有上限。
Basically there is a maximum seating capacity and operation duration of each shuttle bus
代理主席，相信年長的朋友會記得兩句話："地下鐵路為你建造"。
Deputy President I believe the older generation will remember the slogan of MTR―A Railway For You
問題由開始發生至今，為何我認為政府的態度及處理方法都值得商榷？
Why do I consider the Governments attitude as well as its way of dealing with the incidents is debatable from the beginning of the incident to now?
在此段期間，局長有兩句說話相信大部分市民都印象深刻。
Recently the public should be quite familiar with two remarks made by Secretary CHAN
第一，當陳帆局長談到沙中線問題的時候，他說自己也是剛從新聞報道得知道港鐵出了事故。
First when Secretary CHAN talked about SCL incident he said he only learnt MTRCLs incident from the newscast
我不是要他說謊，而是他作為政府高官、運輸及房屋局局長，不能夠用這種方式告訴全港市民，香港政府在管治港鐵公司上無所作為。
I am not asking him to lie but as a senior Government official as the Secretary for Transport and Housing he should never have spoken to Hong Kong people in that way . The Hong Kong Government does not have a role in the governance of MTRCL
我不是說他是否無能，這是智慧的問題。
I am not saying that whether he is incompetent or not because this is a matter of wisdom
這句說話對於大眾市民來說是摸不着頭腦的。
Such remarks have made the public feel completely at a loss
可能局長會覺得官僚制度太龐大，沒辦法處理。
Perhaps the Secretary opines that the bureaucratic system is too big to deal with
以往的口號是"地 下鐵路為你建造"，後來有網民及年青人將之改為"地下鐵路包你遲到"，到今時今日更改為"地下鐵路一定搭唔到"。
In the past they chanted the slogan of MTR―A Railway For You but later on some young people rewrote it MTR―a guarantee for being late . Today some people even changed it to MTR―a guarantee for failure to get on
政府有76%股權，小股東佔24%，是否意味如要改善現時港鐵公司現況，全香港700萬人須各自購入一股，成為小股東，然後"股民維權"就可以改善港鐵公司呢？
As the Government holds 76 % of the shares while minority shareholders hold only 24 % does it mean that every one of the 7 million people in Hong Kong should buy one share and become MTRCLs shareholder if we want to improve the current situation of MTRCL so that the situation of MTRCL can be improved via the defence of legal rights by the minority shareholders?
政府作為大股東，為何不管治、約束港鐵公司？
As the majority shareholder why should the Government not exercise governance of MTRCL and put it under control?
大家要分清楚，如果地下鐵路由始至終是為香港人建造的話，港鐵公司就不會變成以發展商的模式運作，不會只顧及向股東派息，不會罔顧香港人的安全.....謹此發言。
We should be clear that if MTR is a railway for Hong Kong people MTRCL should have never operated like a developer with the mere purpose of paying dividends to its shareholders while neglecting the safety of the public I so submit
主席，香港鐵路有限公司接連被揭發多項工程出現質素問題，近期又經常出現信號系統故障，引起社會廣泛關注。
President the exposure of quality problems with a number of works projects of the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL coupled with the recent failures of its signalling systems have aroused widespread concern in the community
就着今天"重整港鐵公司管治"議案，我想根據個人經驗和專業知識，提出數項意見供政府和港鐵公司考慮。
With regard to the motion on Restructuring the governance of MTR Corporation Limited today I would like to draw on my own personal experience as well as professional know - how to provide a few comments for consideration by the Government and MTRCL
第一，董事局的職能。
First the function of the board of directors
早前港鐵公司在召開特別董事局會議後，承認目前的通報機制不理想，決定指示董事局轄下的工程委員會檢討沙田至中環線的管理過程和程序。
Earlier MTRCL admitted after a special board meeting that its existing reporting mechanism was flawed . It then decided to instruct the Capital Works Committee under the board to review the management processes and procedures of the Shatin to Central Link
工程委員會負責監察港鐵公司100億港元以上的工程項目，但委員會的職責明確不包括監察管理層的表現。
The Capital Works Committee which oversees capital works with a value of 10 billion or above clearly does not have a duty in supervising the performance of the companys management
港鐵公司董事局現時轄下有7個委員會，從公司治理的角度看，任何董事局層面的委員會均應在相關的領域上負責監察管理層的表現，甚至把相關領域的表現列為企業整體考核項目的一部分。
There are now seven committees under the MTRCL board . From a corporate governance perspective all committees within the board level should be responsible for supervising management performance in their respective areas and the performance in a relevant area should even be made a part of the overall appraisal coverage for the corporation . Capital works are not a major business area of MTRCL
港鐵公司本身並非以工程為主營業務，但考慮到政府經常將大型的鐵路建設委託他們承建，工程委員會亦應該獲得適當的授權來監察管理層在工程方面的表現。
However in view of the fact that the company is often entrusted by the Government with the construction of large - scale railway projects its Capital Works Committee should also be properly authorized to supervise management performance in capital works
此外，政府作為港鐵公司的最大股東，亦有委派官員出任非執行董事，而局長剛才表示有4位。
Separately as the largest stakeholder of MTRCL the Government has appointed public officers as the companys non - executive directors―there are four according to the information provided by the Secretary just now
不過，從近日發生的連串事件可見，這些非執行董事似乎未能發揮他們應有的監察角色。
However judging from the recent spate of incidents these non - executive directors seemed to have failed to exercise their supervisory roles properly
究其原因，是官員日常已疲於奔命，未能再花大量的時間和精力監察港鐵公司，或是官員仍未能充分掌握作為政府派出董事需要履行的職責？
The reasons behind were the already hectic and taxing schedules of these public officers which have prevented them from spending a substantial amount of time and energy on supervising MTRCL or that the officers have yet to fully grasp the responsibilities as government - appointed directors?
我在行政長官答問會上也曾提出這個觀點，希望政府予以深思和檢討。
I have put forth this view in the Chief Executive Question and Answer Session and hope the Government will ponder and review the situation
第二，董事長與總裁的分工。
Secondly the division of work between the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer
一般而言，上市公司的董事會為了避免權力過分集中，董事長和總裁分別由兩人擔任，兩者之間的分工明確，董事長負責確保董事會適當地履行職能，貫徹良好的公司治理常規及程序。總裁則負責領導管理層，推行董事會所採納的重要策略。
Generally speaking the board of directors of a public company will appoint two persons to be the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer respectively so as to avoid excessive concentration of power . The division of work between them is clear the Chairman is responsible for ensuring the proper performance of functions of the board in compliance with good corporate governance practices and procedures while the Chief Executive Officer is responsible for leading the management and implementing important strategies adopted by the board
董事局主席負責的是機構的策略方向，而港鐵公司是提供集體運輸服務的公司，主席的專長應該在於運輸服務的策略。
The chairman of the board is responsible for the strategic direction of the organization . As MTRCL is primarily a provider of mass transit service its Chairman should specialize in strategies for transit service
港鐵公司本身的業務範圍相當廣泛，如果行政總裁需要對所有涉及的業務也有專業的背景，相信尋覓合適的人才將會是新的難題。
And given the wide - ranging business scope of MTRCL identifying a suitable candidate will be its next problem if the Chief Executive Officer is required to process professional backgrounds in all the business areas it involves
第三，績效考核。
Thirdly performance appraisal
每間企業均有評估其管理層表現的關鍵績效指標。
Each corporation has a set of key performance indicator KPI for appraising management performance
我不太清楚港鐵公司現時的KPI有否包含工程質量，如果沒有，我希望政府派出的董事在董事局上倡議將工程質量增列成為港鐵公司管理層KPI的考核項目之一。
I am not sure if the quality of capital works is included as one of the KPIs in MTRCL . If not I hope the government - appointed directors can suggest to the board making capital works quality one of the KPIs of MTRCL management
而每當港鐵公司調整票價，我都聽到社會上有很多聲音指港鐵公司近年事故頻生，問為何每年仍可依舊加價？
Whenever MTRCL adjusts its fares I always hear many voices in the community questioning the yearly fare hike in view of a spate of service disruptions in recent years
所以，主席，為了回應公眾對港鐵公司工程質素的關注，我建議考慮將工程質素加入為申請調整票價的考量，促使港鐵公司認真對待工程及維修方面的質量問題。
Therefore President to address public concern about the capital works quality of MTRCL I suggest including capital works quality as a consideration factor in MTRCLs application for fare adjustment so as to encourage it to take the quality problems in capital works and maintenance seriously
第四，內部舉報。
Fourthly internal reporting
為符合《企業管治常規守則》的要求，所有上市機構一般也會制訂"員工內部舉報管理政策"，保證員工內部舉報或管理機制的適當性。
To meet the requirements laid down in the Code on Corporate Governance Practices all listed companies will formulate Policy on Staff Reporting of Irregularities to assure their staff of the appropriateness of internal reporting and that of the management mechanism
員工可以向稽核單位或直接向稽核委員會主席舉報，甚至可以選擇匿名舉報，再由稽核單位對舉報的事項進行獨立調查，對舉報涉及的問題提出改進建議，並將調查結果向稽核委員會及管理層報告。
Staff can report to the auditing unit or to the chairman of the audit committee directly . Alternatively they can even choose to report anonymously and let the audit unit conduct independent investigation into the reported incident and make recommendation with regard to the issues involved in addition to reporting the investigation results to the audit committee and to the management
港鐵公司的年報也有提及其舉報政策，不過這個舉報政策的範圍只針對公司的財政、法律或聲譽上構成或可能構成重大不利影響的事宜。
MTRCL also mentions its whistle - blowing policy in its annual report . But the scope of this policy only covers concerns which have or could have significant adverse financial legal or reputational impacts on the company
政策適用於所有的僱員、與公司進行交易的人士及一般公眾。
The policy applies to all staff parties who deal with the company and the general public
我也不清楚到目前為止，有沒有任何內部舉報工程質量的個案，但我期望在是次事件後，港鐵公司會鼓勵持份者利用現有機制，舉報工程質量的問題，讓香港市民可以安心乘坐港鐵出行。
I am not sure whether up to the present moment there is any reporting of quality problems with capital works by a whistle - blower . But I hope that after this incident MTRCL will encourage stakeholders to make use of the existing mechanism to report quality problems with capital works with a view to put Hong Kong people at ease when travelling with MTR
港鐵公司是甚具質素的公司，運作一直良好，讓香港的鐵路系統在世界上享有盛名。
MTRCL is a quality company which has all along been functioning properly earning worldwide reputation for Hong Kongs railway system
可是工程施工的連番失誤，令市民的信心有所動搖，我相信政府派出的董事須要有針對性地強化港鐵公司的管理，挽回市民的信心。
But a series of blunders in capital works have somehow shaken peoples confidence in the company . I believe that the government - appointed directors should strengthen the management of MTRCL with targeted measures so as to restore peoples confidence
至於回購港鐵公司股份的建議絕不可行，我會表決反對。
As for the suggestion of buying back the shares of MTRCL it is definitely infeasible and I will vote against it
主席，我發言支持田北辰議員提出"重整港鐵公司管治"的議案。
President I speak in support of Mr Michael TIENs motion on Restructuring the governance of MTR Corporation Limited
我支持的原因主要有兩個：第一，是為了700萬香港市民的出入安全着想；以及第二，是因為我不想看到鐵路項目淪為"豆腐渣"工程，影響旅客對香港的良好形象，繼而影響旅遊業發展。
I give support mainly for two reasons . The first reason is out of consideration for the travel safety of the 7 million Hong Kong people . The second reason is that I do not want to see the degeneration of railway projects into jerry - built projects as this may adversely affect visitors positive impression of Hong Kong and in turn undermine tourism development
最近"四線全倒"的事故令數十萬名市民在出行及上下班時受到重大影響，累及香港的國際形象。
Due to the recent simultaneous breakdown of four rail lines hundreds of thousands of people were seriously affected during their trips and the commuting hours and Hong Kongs international image has likewise been tarnished
較早前，沙田至中環線紅磡站、土瓜灣站及會展站相繼被揭發工程醜聞，包括漏水、剪鋼筋、不按圖則施工，可謂每次新鮮，每次嚴重。
Not long ago scandalous works problems involving Hung Hom Station To Kwa Wan Station and Exhibition Centre Station of the Shatin to Central Link SCL were uncovered one after another including water seepage the cutting of steel bars and non - conformance to building plans in the works process . It can be said that new problems can be found each time with greater severity
一系列的事故證明港鐵公司無論在工程監管、通報機制，以至整體公司管治皆存在眾多漏洞，當中不少存在已久。
The successive incidents are proof that MTRCLs works supervision notification mechanism and even overall corporate governance have been plagued by various loopholes and many of them have long since existed
如果我們現在仍不正視問題，促請政府重整港鐵公司的管治，便等於掩耳盜鈴、自欺欺人，結果只會令港鐵公司的管治越來越差，越來越多問題。
Our refusal to squarely address such problems and urge the Government to restructure MTRCLs governance is no different from burying our heads in the sand and deceiving ourselves . The only result is that MTRCLs governance will keep deteriorating with more and more problems
我相信大家皆不想看到這情況。
I believe this is something people will hate to see
常言道："期望越高，要求越高。
As a common saying goes With greater expectation comes higher demand
"港鐵公司不止是一間普通的上市公司。
MTRCL is not only an ordinary listed company
對內而言，港鐵公司肩負興建和營運香港鐵路的重任，一旦管治出現問題，輕則服務質素下降，出現車廂擠迫、班次延誤，影響市民出行，重則出現重大安全事故，或一如沙中線工程般，出現工程質素問題，危及香港市民的出入安全。
Domestically MTRCL is vested with the important task of railway construction and operation in Hong Kong . Any problems with its governance will lead to a decline in the service quality in minor cases such as crowdedness of train compartments and train delays and affect peoples journeys . In serious cases it will give rise to major safety incidents or those works quality problems that have been found in the SCL project and jeopardize the travel safety of Hong Kong people
所謂"民生無小事"，關乎市民出行安全的問題，大家更不能有絲毫鬆懈。
As a saying goes No livelihood issue is trivial . On issues pertaining to peoples travel safety Members should not lose the slightest bit of guard
因此，我認為政府對港鐵公司的管治要求應"沒有最高，只有更高"。
So I think the Governments requirement of MTRCLs governance should be without any limit
只有這樣才可以提升港鐵公司的服務質素，保障市民的出行安全。
Only this can enhance MTRCLs service quality and ensure peoples travel safety
主席，港鐵公司管治的好壞不但關乎市民出行，亦關乎香港公共交通的形象。
President whether MTRCLs governance is satisfactory concerns not only peoples travel but also the image of Hong Kongs public transport
曾幾何時，港鐵公司所提供的快捷便利鐵路服務曾獲大家讚賞，尤其是在推出八達通卡後，更叫人"豎起大拇指"。
The expeditious and convenient railway services provided by MTRCL once commanded peoples commendation . People even gave the thumbs - up especially after the introduction of Octopus card
無奈的是，近日頻密的列車延誤事件，令越來越多市民對港鐵公司的服務有所不滿，而港鐵公司負責興建和營運的鐵路項目更不時被揭發超支及工程延誤等問題，以致民怨升級。
Regrettably the frequent train delays these days have aroused discontent among a growing number of people about MTRCLs services . And the unveiling of problems with rail lines constructed and operated by MTRCL from time to time such as cost overruns and works delays has led to the escalation of public grievances
如今"四線全倒"及沙中線被揭發工程質素差勁等一系列問題，更令市民對港鐵公司失去信心。
The recent successive problems such as the simultaneous breakdown of four rail lines and the uncovering of the substandard SCL works have even ripped people of their confidence in MTRCL
港鐵公司的服務每況愈下，試問政府還有甚麼理由不檢討對港鐵公司的管治呢？
MTRCLs services are deteriorating day after day . May I ask what grounds can be put forth by the Government for rejecting a review of MTRCLs governance?
如果現在仍對港鐵公司聽之任之，不敦促其改善公司管治、提高服務質素，我相信不多久，港鐵公司便會淪為"劣質服務"、"'豆腐渣'工程"的代名詞。
If the Government continues to give MTRCL a free hand and refuses to urge it to improve its corporate governance and enhance its service quality I believe that shortly afterwards MTRCL will degenerate into a synonym for deplorable services and jerry - built projects
難道大家想看到這情況嗎？
Do Members want to see this?
因此，面對出現眾多問題的港鐵公司，我希望政府不能只說句"遺憾"、"失望"，或請大家互諒互讓便作罷，而要全面認真檢討港鐵公司目前的監管制度及處罰機制等是否存在不足，繼而採取真正有效的措施，提升港鐵公司的服務質素。
For all these reasons I hope that in the face of the problem - ridden MTRCL the Government will not merely use such words as regrettable and disappointed or ask people to show mutual understanding and mutual accommodation . Instead it should conduct a comprehensive and serious review to ascertain the presence or otherwise of any inadequacies in the existing monitoring system and penalty mechanism for MTRCL . Subsequently it should adopt truly effective measures for enhancing MTRCLs service quality
這才是政府作為港鐵公司大股東應有的責任。
These are the responsibilities that the Government must discharge as the majority shareholder of MTRCL
最後，我希望港鐵公司在追求盈利的同時，亦能肩負社會責任，把市民的出行安全及便利放在工作首位。
Finally I hope that while MTRCL seeks to maximize its profits it can also assume corporate social responsibilities and put peoples travel safety and convenience as its top priority
我更希望港鐵公司的管理層在享受高薪厚祿之餘，要懂得自我反省，不要待問題出現後才"賴地硬"、"賴天時熱"，而是要問自己是否愧對薪酬、是否符合公眾期望。
I even hope that the MTRCL management can do some self - reflection while enjoying their substantial remunerations . Instead of putting up various excuses after problems occur they should ask themselves whether they can face up to their remunerations without qualm and whether they can live up to public expectation
此外，港鐵公司更要認真檢討在服務市民、企業管治及工程等方面存在的不足之處，繼而及時改正。
Besides MTRCL should conduct a serious review of the inadequacies in areas such as its provision of services for people corporate governance and works projects and take timely rectifications
港鐵公司的董事局有4位非執行董事，包括政府官員，即兩位局長，一位常任秘書長及運輸署署長，合共4人，另外還有14位獨立非執行董事，而我們的同事石禮謙議員是其中一位。
The board of MTRCL consists of four non - executive directors and also 14 independent non - executive directors among whom we find our colleague Mr Abraham SHEK
老實說，我上次就類似議題發言時也提到，交由政府官員或公務員擔任上市公司的非執行董事，第一，他們真的沒有時間處理；第二，抱歉我要說一句，他們可能欠缺相關知識；以及第三，就是他們根本不曾處理過上市公司的工作。
Frankly as previously mentioned in my speech on a similar subject there are problems in appointing public officers or civil servants as non - executive directors of a listed company . First they really have no time to do the job; second pardon me for saying so they probably lack the relevant knowledge; and third they have never dealt with the operations of a listed company
我並非小看這批同事，但他們可能對上市公司的運作真的不太熟悉，因為他們的工作經驗等全來自公務員系統，對於上市公司的種種運作又怎可能熟悉呢？
I am not belittling these officers but they may be rather unfamiliar with the operation of a listed company indeed . Given that their working experience all comes from the civil service system how can they possibly be familiar with the various business operations of a listed company?
我不會在此逐一說出，但當中包括高級退休公務員、退休律師、退休會計師和退休測量師等。
I am not going to name them one by one but among them there are retired senior civil servants retired lawyers retired accountants and retired surveyors
佔25%股權的小股東有沒有能力或資格委派兩三名獨立非執行董事來保障他們的權益呢？
Do the minority shareholders who own 25 % of the shareholding have the power or the eligibility to appoint two to three independent non - executive directors for the protection of their interests?
我請政府告訴我，在這14個人當中，究竟誰擁有營運地鐵的經驗、負責工程的經驗或管理跨國公司的經驗呢？
May I ask the Government to tell me who among these 14 persons have the experience of operating underground railway being in charge of works projects or managing a multinational company?
此外，港鐵公司在董事局下還設有數個委員會，分別是審核、提名、薪酬、工程、風險和企業責任委員會。
Further MTRCL has established several committees under its board of directors namely audit committee nominations committee remuneration committee capital works committee risk committee and corporate responsibility committee
為何現時會沒有具公信力的投標委員會，亦沒有法律或合規委員會呢？
Why is there not a credible tender committee or a legalcompliance committee at present?
