代理主席，廖長江議員剛才的一番慷慨陳辭，說到將全體委員會的人數由35人降至20人，是因為全體委員會的性質、職能和運作不同於立法機關或不同於大會。
Deputy President Mr Martin LIAO has delivered an impassioned speech on his proposal to reduce the quorum of a committee of the whole Council to 20 Members from 35 Members . According to him the quorum reduction is justified because the nature function and operation of a committee of the whole Council are different in the legislature and from the Council
代理主席，我想在此直接回應。
Deputy President I want to directly respond to his remark
無論是性質、職能和運作，全體委員會固然未必與大會保持一致，但我亦想提出的是，大會本身亦充滿不同性質和職能。
A committee of the whole Council and the Council may not be the same in respect of the nature function and operation but we have to note that the Council itself also has different natures and functions
既然我們是在這議事廳處理全體委員會的事務，代表了無論是性質、職能和運作，儘管有絲毫不同，但精神是一致的。
Despite the slight differences in the nature function and operation between the Council and a committee of the whole Council the two share the same spirit . That is why the businesses of a committee of the whole Council are also dealt with in this Chamber
為何要稱它為全體委員會而不是逐項審議委員會？
Why do we call it a committee of the whole Council instead of simply a clause - by - clause committee?
代理主席，這是因為希望容許全體議員在法案通過二讀至三讀之間能夠逐項審議，而在逐項審議時，每一位議員都是必然委員，而主席亦由立法會大會主席主持。
Deputy President it is because we hope that when we go through the Second Reading of Bills and enter the stage of clause - by - clause examination in preparation for the Third Reading procedure all Members will join the discussion as ex - officio Members and the President will become Chairman of a committee of the whole Council
這樣做的理由和精神是，可以在容納最多香港人聲音的時候，進行逐項審議，這是有關安排精 神所在。
The reasons for and the spirit of this arrangement is to allow the clause - by - clause examination to capture as many voices of Hong Kong people as possible . This is the spirit of the arrangement
因此，當廖長江議員嘗試以性質、職能、運作不同，為自己開脫，分開本來應該屬於一致的全體委員會和大會時，我希望告訴大家，我們應該回歸那精神，我們應該看到如果全體委員會在這議事廳處理事務，其實原意和設計是希望每一位議員都有份參與，而每一位議員都有份參與時，這就是大會了，兩者應該保持一致。
Mr Martin LIAO tries to use the different nature function and operation between a committee of the whole Council and the Council to defend his proposal to separate them regardless of the fact that the two committees actually operate as a whole . I call on Members to return to the spirit of the existing arrangement . The fact that a committee of the whole Council deals with its businesses in this Chamber has reflected the original intent and design of the committee are to allow all Members to participate in the process and the participation of all Members actually signifies the role of the Council
這就是為何民主派議員認為不應修改法定人數的最主要原因。
The two committees should operate as a whole . This is the main reason why democratic Members oppose adjusting the quorum of a committee of the whole Council
當然，代理主席，很多議員同事已經提過，與其以這麼多漂亮的說話和言詞掩飾修改法定人數的做法，其實到了最後，只不過是偷懶。
Deputy President as many Honourable colleagues have already mentioned what lay behind the many rhetoric speeches and remarks on the proposed quorum reduction is their laziness
我不想這樣做，我也不想以這些方法和說話刺激保皇黨同事，但如果廖長江議員剛才的陳辭真的是他的本意，如果我們真的要彰顯禮樂，如果我們希望透過修改《議事規則》令議會重拾正軌，我真的看不到原因，看不到邏輯。
I do not want to say so and I do not want to mount an offensive on the pro - Government colleagues . If what come out of Mr Martin LIAOs mouth come from his heart and he really wishes to exemplify proprieties and music and to put the Council back on the right track by means of the RoP amendments I am confused by the justifications and logic
代理主席，為何我們要將法定人數這樣降低，我看不到，代理主席，我也真的完全不理解為何容許議員不開會就能彰顯禮樂。
Deputy President I cannot see why we have to reduce the quorum to such a low level . Deputy President I also find it perplexing how we can exemplify proprieties and music by allowing Members to skip meetings
如果是這樣，其實我們為何不將法定人數由20人降至跟財務委員會相同的8人？
If so why should we not further reduce the quorum from 20 Members as proposed to 8 Members to be in line with the requirement of the Finance Committee?
這樣可能會更有效令我們開會，代理主席，因為更多人不需要回來，這是否廖長江議員的本意？
Deputy President a further reduced quorum will make it easier to hold meetings as more Members will not be required to join . Is this the intention of Mr Martin LIAO?
我無意猜度，不過很明顯，客觀效果，我們路人皆見。
I do not want to guess his motive but the effect of the proposed reduction is just obvious to all
代理主席，前立法會議員，來自法律界敝黨的吳靄儀女士曾經在2011年5月的發言中提出《議事規則》應該凌駕於政治之上。
Deputy President Ms Margaret NG former Member of the legal profession and also a member of our party said in May 2011 that RoP should be above politics
代理主席，我完全同意，我亦完全擁抱這句說話，我亦相信在席大部分同事應該有這覺悟。
Deputy President I totally agree with her and I totally embrace this saying as well . I believe that most colleagues here should also be aware of this
但很可惜，今次我們被政治牽着鼻子走，今次很多議員同事被迫坐在這裏，被迫以十數分鐘完成他們的午餐，也是歸咎於政治。
But unfortunately politics has led us by the nose . Hence many colleagues are forced to sit here and to finish their lunches in 10 minutes or so . This is also caused by politics
當然，這不是人性化的決定。
This is of course a dehumanized decision
我希望大家知道一個客觀的事實，就是如果我們今次真的修改了《議事規則》，是全面地令本來屬於我們69位都擁有的權力大幅削去，屆時權力盡歸主席，無論那位將來是誰，他可能是保皇黨，也可能是民主派，但這樣會令我們的議會，議員和主席之間失去應有的制衡。
I hope to tell Members an objective fact that the RoP amendments if passed would comprehensively and substantially reduce the power originally held by the 69 Members . All power would thus be vested in the President . No matter who would take up the Presidency in the future whether they are from the pro - Government camp or the democratic camp the amendments will upset the proper balance between Members and the President in the Council
當權力盡歸主席時，這和21世紀我們應有的制衡背道而馳。
The vesting of all power in the President runs counter to the checks and balances system which should prevail in the 21 century
我希望我們的議會同事能夠真正想一想，是否真的為了一時的政治原因而要放棄本來屬於我們每一位的權力？
I call on Honourable colleagues to give a serious thought to this . Are we really ready to give up our power just for the sake of a temporary political reason?
屆時我們如何再制衡坐在席上的主席？
How can we check the power of the President in his Chamber then?
我希望大家深思熟慮一下。
I call on Members to think over this carefully
《條例草案》原來建議資審會成員全部由主要官員出任，因應議員意見，政制及內地事務局局長將動議修正案，規定特首須同時委任最少1名和最多3名外界人士進入資審會，港府亦須就資審會的組成向中央政府備案，這些也是從善如流，進一步完善制度的做法。
The Bill originally provides that CERC members are confined to Principal Officials . Taking into account the views of Members the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs will move an amendment to stipulate that the Chief Executive shall appoint one to three non - official CERC members . The Hong Kong Government shall also report the composition of CERC to the Central Government for the record
我希望政府日後會研究應否把區議會選舉候選人的愛國愛港審查工作，亦由現時的選舉主任轉交資審會負責。
This practice reflects the readiness of the Government to accept good advice to further improve the system . I hope that the Government will consider transferring the work of reviewing whether candidates for District Council elections are patriots from the Returning Officer at present to CERC in the future
此外，根據現行法例及原來的《條例草案》，如果立法會地方選區或功能界別選舉的候選人在提名期結束後被取消參選資格，有關選舉就要即時終止及重新接受提名。
In addition under existing legislation and the original Bill if a candidate in a Legislative Council geographical constituency or functional constituency election is disqualified from standing for election after the close of nominations the election must be terminated immediately and a new nomination must be accepted
我與多位議員都指出，有關規定讓人有機會透過"博DQ"來干擾選舉進行，造成混亂及浪費公帑，甚至阻延新一屆立法會的產生。
As many Members and I have pointed out this requirement gives one a chance to interfere with the election by intentionally provoking his disqualification thus causing confusion wasting public money and even delaying the formation of a new Legislative Council
政府最後採納意見，提出修訂，訂明即使選舉中途有候選人去世或被"DQ"，選舉將會繼續進行。
The Government has accepted the advice and proposed amendments to provide that in case of death or disqualification of a candidate in the election the relevant election proceedings would continue to proceed
我支持有關修正案，並希望當局進一步交代，如果因候選人去世或被"DQ"，餘下的合資格候選人數目等同或少於議席數目時，選舉主任是否可以宣告有關候選人自動當選，無須進行投票呢? 另外是有關租借處所作為投票站及點票站的問題。
I support the relevant amendments and hope that the authorities will further explain whether if the number of remaining eligible candidates is equal to or less than the number of seats due to the death or disqualification of a candidate the Returning Officer can declare the automatic election of the candidates without the need to proceed to vote . The other issue is about making available premises for use as polling and counting stations
雖然香港現已"黑暴"消退，社會恢復穩定，但據聞有些辦學團體及非政府機構，因為不滿意新的選舉制度，揚言不會借出設施作為票站。
Although black - clad violence has subsided and social stability has been restored in Hong Kong it has been reported that some school sponsoring bodies and non - governmental organizations are threatening not to make available their facilities for use as polling stations as they are not satisfied with the new electoral system
針對有關問 題，原來的《條例草案》授權總選舉主任可指明任何受政府資助的學校或機構，借出旗下處所作為票站。
To address the problem the original Bill empowers the Chief Electoral Officer to require schools and organizations receiving grants from the Government to make available their premises for use as polling stations
如果對方拒絕借出場地，政府便可向對方徵收1萬元罰款。
If the other party refuses to do so the Government may impose a fine of 10,000 on it
正如大家所表達的意見，我及多位議員也指出有關罰款太少，欠缺阻嚇力。
As with Members who have expressed their views many other Members and I have pointed out that the fine is too small and lacks deterrent effect
接下來9月的選委會選舉，如果有機構無理拒絕借出場地作為票站，令選民未能在最方便的地方，快捷及舒適地投票，當局便要考慮是否需要再次修例，加重罰則，甚至授權政府可以強制徵用票站，確保今年12月的立法會選舉可以順利舉行。
For the coming EC elections in September if an organization unreasonably refuses to make available its premises for use as a polling station so that voters cannot vote in the most convenient place quickly and comfortably the authorities will have to consider whether they need to amend the law again to increase the penalty or even authorize compulsory acquisition by the Government of premises for use as polling stations to ensure the smooth conduct of the Legislative Council election in December this year
全國人大常務委員會亦對《基本法》附件一和附件二作出修訂，進一步要求特區採取措施，依法規管操縱、破壞選舉的行為。
The Standing Committee of NPC has also amended Annex I and Annex II to the Basic Law to further request HKSAR to take measures in accordance with the law to regulate acts that manipulate or undermine elections
過去幾年，"攬炒派"對於他們有機會勝出的選舉，會透過炮製假新聞、抹黑對手和政府以至舉辦違法、違憲的初選活動等，企圖操控選舉，而對於他們無甚勝算的選舉，例如特首選舉、立法會和選舉委員會部分界別的選舉，則會公開呼籲選民投白票、投廢票，意圖擾亂、貶損有關選舉。
In the past few years the mutual destruction camp would attempt to manipulate the elections that they stand a chance of winning by fabricating fake news smearing their opponents and the Government as well as organizing primary elections which are unlawful and unconstitutional etc . For elections in which their chance of winning is slim such as the Chief Executive election the Legislative Council election and the election of some sectors of the Election Committee they would publicly appeal to the electors to cast a blank or invalid vote in an attempt to mess up and derogate the relevant elections
更加離譜的是，在前年的區議會選舉中，有"攬炒派"於網上教唆、煽動年青人偷走或收起家中長者的身份證，以阻止他們投票給愛國愛港的候選人，亦有"黑暴"青年在票站外不斷重複排隊，目的是阻撓急於上班謀生的選民或難以長時間站立和曝曬的年長人士入內投票。
What is even more outrageous is that during the District Council elections held in the year before last some of those from the mutual destruction camp instigated and incited young people on the Internet to steal or take away the identity cards of their elderly family members to prevent them from voting for candidates who love the country and Hong Kong . Some young people engaged in black - clad violence also lined up outside the polling stations repeatedly to obstruct voters who were in a hurry to go to work to earn a living or elderly people who had difficulty in standing and being exposed to the sun for a long time from entering the polling stations to vote
因此，《條例草案》除了將妨礙他人投票訂為罪行，亦授權票站主任為有需要的選民設立特別隊伍，亦即俗稱的"關愛隊"，以方便一些年長和行動不便的選民可在合理時間內投票，避免再遭人以一些下三濫手段阻撓。
In light of this apart from specifying in the Bill that it is an offence to obstruct another person from voting Presiding Officers are also empowered to set up a special queue for electors in need which is commonly known as caring queue to facilitate the elderly and electors who are mobility - impaired to vote within a reasonable period of time and to avoid further obstruction caused by people employing some dirty tricks
對於上述建議我表示支持，但卻認為政府的行動實在太慢、太遲和太少。
I lend my support to the aforesaid proposals but I think the Government has indeed acted too slowly too late and too little
很多國家和地區已實施多年及行之有效的制度，例如郵寄投票、境外投票、電子投票和電子點票等，香港提出了10多年仍處於研究、諮詢、再研究的階段。
With regard to some systems implemented in many countries and regions for years which have been proven effective such as postal voting external voting electronic voting and electronic counting of votes Hong Kong is still at the stages of study consultation and restudy after such proposals have been made for more than a decade
選民到達票站領取選票、核對身份時，仍須使用整疊打印資料和間尺刪劃，效率奇低，亦導致有不少空間可被人"做手腳"。
When voters arrive at the polling station to get their ballot papers the polling staff still have to search through an entire stack of printed information and use a ruler to cross out an entry when verifying their identity . It is therefore terribly inefficient and leaves much room for cheating
《條例草案》建議引入的電子選民登記冊，早應實施，而且應用範圍應進一步擴闊，但我也明白及知道遲做總勝於不做。
The introduction of the electronic poll register proposed in the Bill should have been implemented long ago with its scope of application further expanded . But then I also understand and know that it is always better late than never
因此，我希望政府往後能加緊推動，將選舉流程電子化、現代化，減少人為出錯，也減低被干擾、操控和濫用的機會。
Therefore I hope the Government would step up its efforts in promoting these initiatives to implement the digitalization and modernization of the electoral process in the future so as to reduce human errors and minimize the chance of interference manipulation and abuse
最後是有關因應這次修例而展開的特別選民登記工作，涉及的改動繁多，時間上真的相當匆忙，7月5日截止後，9月中便要投票，即使明天立即開始進行，也只餘下5個星期。
Lastly regarding the special voter registration to be launched as a result of this legislative amendment exercise the time is really quite rushed as a large number of changes are involved . While the deadline for special voter registration is 5 July election will be held in mid - September . Only five weeks are left even if the registration is commenced right away tomorrow
很多市民包括一些界別的團體選民、當然選委都對新的選舉制度不太熟悉，很想盡快知道自己需否重新登記、何時登記和如何登記。
Many people including corporate voters of some sectors and ex - officio members of the Election Committee are not quite familiar with the new electoral system . They are eager to know as soon as possible whether they need to register afresh as well as when and how to do so
希望政府準備好相關的解說材料，《條例草案》一旦通過便立即上載網頁、推出廣告，並發送給市民、議員和政黨，加強宣傳，以便大家能目標一致地辦好3場選舉。
I hope the Government would prepare relevant explanatory materials for uploading on its website and place advertisements immediately after the Bill is passed . Such materials should also be sent to the public Members and political parties to strengthen publicity so that we can conduct the three elections properly with a common goal
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持《條例草案》各項條文和修正案。
With these remarks Chairman I support all provisions of and amendments to the Bill
主席，我發言支持政制及內地事務局局長提出的修正案。
Chairman I speak in support of the amendments proposed by the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs
我認為這些修正案均是經過廣納民意、集思廣益後作出的務實修訂，除了能夠優化選舉安排外，還能令《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》更加完善，進一步確保"愛國者治港"得到全面落實。
I believe that these amendments are pragmatic amendments made after gauging public opinion extensively and drawing on collective wisdom . Apart from optimizing the electoral arrangements these amendments also better the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021 the Bill and further ensure the full implementation of patriots administering Hong Kong
我先說有關候選人資格審查委員會的修正案。
Let me first talk about the amendment concerning the Candidate Eligibility Review Committee CERC
修正案將資審會成員人數上限由5人增至8人，並規定行政長官除了委任主席及2名至4名官守成員外，亦須委任1名至3名非官守成員。
The amendment seeks to increase the upper limit of CERC members from five to eight and stipulates that the Chief Executive shall appoint not only the chairperson and two to four official members but also one to three non - official members
我十分支持該項修訂，因為資審會肩負重任，負責審查並確認行政長官、選舉委員會和立法會議員候選人的資格。
I very much support this amendment as CERC shoulders a heavy responsibility to review and confirm the eligibility of candidates in the Chief Executive Election Committee and Legislative Council elections
上調資審會人數上限，加入若干名社會認受性高的人士，不但可以增加資審會的公信力，更能令 審查工作更為順暢，亦有助做好把關工作，確保所有候選人均是愛國愛港人士，令"愛國者治港"原則能得到全面落實，因此我十分支持。
By increasing the upper limit of CERC members and adding a number of people with a high degree of social recognition we will not only enhance the credibility of CERC but also make its review work smoother and help it to play its gate - keeping role properly so as to ensure that all candidates are people who love our country and Hong Kong and the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong can be fully implemented . I am therefore very much supportive of it
主席，我亦十分支持有關賦權投票站主任在選舉中為有需要的選民設立特別隊伍的修正案。
Chairman I am also very supportive of the amendment to empower the Presiding Officers to set up a special queue for electors in need in elections
相信大家也記得，在上一次區議會選舉中，有反對派人士利用重複排隊等手段，企圖阻止不同政治立場的人士投票，結果令不少長者需要長時間排隊等候才能進入投票站，苦不堪言。
As Members may recall in the last District Council election some opposition figures tried to prevent people with different political views from voting by repeatedly queuing up . As a result many elderly people had to queue up for a long time before entering the polling stations making them suffer tremendously
今次修訂不但能杜絕上述亂象，優化選舉安排，還能體現關愛情懷，這絕對是一舉多得。
Not only will this amendment exercise put an end to the aforesaid chaotic scenes and improve the electoral arrangements but it will also show our care and concern . This is certainly killing two birds with one stone
此外，延後2021年特別選民登記限期等修正案，我認為具建設性，所以我全部給予支持。
In addition I think that the amendments to extend the deadline for special voter registration in 2021 are constructive and thus I support them all
我希望《條例草案》及所有修正案的措施均能落實到位，為香港帶來更優質的選舉文化和更美好的明天。
I hope that the measures proposed in the Bill and all the amendments can be implemented so as to bring a better electoral culture and a better tomorrow to Hong Kong
主席，我發言前想再次感謝中央政府果斷出手完善香港選舉制度，為確保"一國兩制"行穩致遠、為香港繁榮安定，提供堅實的制度保障。
President before I speak I would like to thank the Central Government again for taking decisive action to improve the electoral system in Hong Kong providing a robust institutional safeguard to ensure the steadfast and successful implementation of one country two systems and the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong
同時我亦感謝政府和法案委員會勞心勞力，迅速高效地完成本地立法工作。
I also thank the Government and the Bills Committee for their efforts and efficiency in completing the local legislative work
主席，我全力支持《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》，讓"愛國者治港"能夠得到全面落實，確保所有進入政府架構的人，均是愛國愛港的，這不但符合香港的整體利益，更是保障香港繁榮穩定的基礎，任何熱愛香港的市民也應積極支持。
President I fully support the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021 the Bill so that the patriots administering Hong Kong principle can be fully implemented to ensure that all people joining the Government must be those who love our country and Hong Kong . This is compatible with the overall interests of Hong Kong and is also the foundation for safeguarding the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong . Every citizen who loves Hong Kong should also support the Bill proactively
主席，"逆水行舟，不進則退"，過去選舉制度上的漏洞令一些激進派、"攬炒派"有機可乘，混入政府架構興風作浪，結果令香港在過去10多年一直陷於政治內耗，蹉跎不少歲月，錯過不少寶貴的發展良機，實在令人欷歔。
President just like rowing a boat upstream you will fall back if you stop moving forward . In the past the loopholes in the electoral system have enabled the radicals and those from the mutual destruction camp to take advantage of them by infiltrating into the Government to stir up troubles . As a result Hong Kong has been plunged into a state of internal political rift for over a decade wasting so much time and so many valuable development opportunities
我希望今次完善選舉制度後，香港能重新啟航，穩步向前，駛向政通人和，社會繁榮安定，市民能安居樂業。
It is sad indeed . I hope that upon the improvement of the electoral system Hong Kong can set sail again for a steady progress towards effective governance and social harmony thereby ensuring a prosperous and stable society for people to live and work in peace and contentment
代理主席，小組委員會及法案委員會一共開了47小時會議，政府一共提出了369項修正案，其中有些修正案，都有接納我們的一些建議。
Deputy Chairman the Subcommittee and the Bills Committee have met for a total of 47 hours and the Government has proposed a total of 369 amendments in which some of our proposals have been accepted
當用家、市民甚至律師及法官要引用這項條文時，便要返回附件二。
When users members of the public and even lawyers and judges want to invoke this provision they have to go back to Annex II which covers quite a number of issues
附件二涵蓋很多事項，附件一亦涵蓋很多事項，包括選舉委員會如何產生。
Annex I likewise covers a quite a number of issues including the formation of the Election Committee EC
我覺得這並非一項好的草擬條文，我們屆時可能需要在附件二"尋寶"，找出有關資審會的部分。
I think this draft provision is not in order as we may need to embark on a treasure hunt in Annex II to look for sections pertinent to CERC
香港人對於"不得提起訴訟"一定很敏感，大家就這部分討論了很久，特別提到維護國家安全的部分。
Hong Kong people must be very sensitive about the saying that no legal proceedings may be instituted . In this connection we held discussions for a long time and we especially talked about safeguarding national security
當然，我們這項意見沒有獲接納，但我也要說在過程中，我們真是溝通過很多次。
Certainly this proposal of ours has not been accepted but I have to say that we honestly had a lot of communication in the process
雖然政府沒有接納，但不是我們每項意見政府都會接納，我亦都支持這一系列政府提出的修正案。
The Government did not accept this proposal but it is not that every one of our proposals will be accepted by the Government . I support all the amendments proposed by the Government
代理主席，現在說的有369項修正案。
Deputy Chairman we are now talking about 369 amendments
代理主席，我們在法案委員會有較多機會可以詳細討論，所以我也認同代理主席在這一節可以稍為寬鬆，對於一些特別不是法案委員會委員的議員，他們看到的問題，我們都很希望聆聽，因為如此重要的修例，我認為很值得讓大家有充分時間表達意見。
Deputy Chairman we had more opportunities to hold detailed discussion in the Bills Committee so I also agree that the Deputy Chairman can be a little bit more lenient in this session . In particular for some Members who are not members of the Bills Committee we would like to listen to their speeches on the problems they have detected . As this is such an important legislative amendment exercise I think it is worthwhile to allow sufficient time for Members to express their views
我在這一節想就着候選人資格審查委員會和票站的修訂發表一些意見。
In this session I would like to express my views on the Candidate Eligibility Review Committee CERC and the amendments concerning polling stations
第一，我當然歡迎政府的修訂，把資審會的成員由本身只局限於官守成員，增至可以委任非官守成員，這可以大大增加 資審會的公信力。
First I certainly welcome the amendment of the Government to change the composition of CERC from official members only to non - official members . This will greatly enhance the credibility of CERC
有關資審會方面，其實在2016年、2017年開始，在一些選舉中就所謂候選人能否"入閘"上，已經出現這個問題，把如此重大的責任只交給一個中級的官員，就是選舉主任。
Regarding CERC the problem concerning the eligibility of candidates has actually occurred in some elections since 2016 and 2017 . Such an important duty was only entrusted to a mid - level official the Returning Officer
不過，另一方面，能夠有一個資審會，而當中亦有非官守成員，我認為在日後執行上，盡量保持有透明度和增加其公信力是非常重要的，因為參選權是市民很關心的。
On the other hand however the presence of CERC and its non - official members are I think very important to maintain as much transparency and credibility as possible in future enforcement because the right to stand for election is of great concern to the public . Let me talk about the part which I had no chance to mention just now
就着剛才我未有機會提到的，便是除了國安處的意見不可上訴之外，就着其他在選舉程序中可能出現的問題，那些仍然可以提起訴訟，而我們只是將其局限在因國家安全部分被"DQ"的情況，所以我歡迎政府的修訂。
While no legal proceedings may be instituted against an opinion of the National Security Department legal proceedings may still be instituted against other issues that may arise in election proceedings . Exception is only given to the disqualification of a candidate by reason of national security . I therefore support the amendment of the Government
第二，我絕對歡迎這次有關票站的安排，便是如果學校不肯借出場地，便將罰款由1萬元增至5萬元。
Second I certainly welcome the arrangements concerning polling stations that is if a school refuses to make available its premises the fine will be increased from 10,000 to 50,000
其實，對於是1萬元或5萬元，我比較不太堅持，我反而認為這些不合作是反映該學校的公德心，欠缺公民責任。
In fact I will not be entangled in the amount of 10,000 or 50,000 . Rather I think that such non - cooperation reflects the lack of the sense of social responsibility and civic duty on the part of the school
