时事新闻:梁振英就职演说(3)

It is a common aspiration for people to own their own home. Housing tops the list of livelihood issues that are of public concern. I believe that housing issues should be tackled through planning and supply. We need to provide more public housing and assist low-income groups to secure flats.

安居乐业是市民的心愿，房屋是社会最关切的问题。我深信：要从规划和供应入手，加建公屋，协助基层上楼。

We will formulate a long-term housing strategy, improve district planning and set up a land reserve to respond swiftly to changes in market. This will enhance the competitiveness of Hong Kong and improve the quality of life for our people.

Families are our pillars and a key element for social stability. We need to foster family harmony and support the underprivileged. It is our social responsibility to ensure that the elderly are honoured for their special place in the family, loved in the way they have loved us and respected for their life-long contributions. Special attention should be given to those who need financial assistance to meet their basic needs.

家庭是每个人的支柱，是社会稳定的重要元素。我们要建立和谐家庭，支援弱势社群；同时要宣扬敬老、爱老、护老精神，实现“老有所依、老有所养、老有所居”，尤其着重照顾贫困长者的经济需要。

Young people represent the future of our society. Youth policy should be formulated from a developmental perspective, creating a favourable environment for new generations to unleash their potential, vitality and creativity.

I will set up the Commission on Poverty as early as possible to review, study and systematically address the issues relating to poverty among the elderly, the working poor, cross-generational poverty, poverty affecting new immigrants and ethnic minorities, and regional poverty.

我将尽快设立“扶贫委员会”，全面检视、研究和系统地处理老年、在职、跨代、新移民、少数族裔和区域性贫穷等问题。

We will also actively promote twin-track provision of medical services by the public and private sectors, so that medical services are accessible to all, regardless of wealth.
