譚耀宗稱香港須改革不能「食老本」不認同「好多嘢跟內地」
The Third Plenum was “successfully held” in Beijing last month, and its “spirit” will have a far-reaching impact on Hong Kong, meaning senior officials and legislators naturally need to “learn by rote” to understand its significance. The delegation sent to Hong Kong by the central authorities included Shen Chunyao, vice-chairman of the National People’s Congress Constitution and Law Committee and the Legislative Affairs Commission of the NPC Standing Committee, and Wang Wentao, secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Ministry of Commerce and minister of commerce. One focus of the Third Plenum was developing “new quality productive forces”. Election Committee-sector Legislative Council member Jesse Hailong Shang said on a radio programme today that he believed Hong Kong had considerable potential in innovation and technology research and development. Tam Yiu-chung, vice-president of the National Hong Kong and Macao Studies Association, said Hong Kong’s rents were too high and the government needed to “think of ways” to address the issue. He also said Hong Kong could not “rest on its laurels”, but disagreed that Hong Kong was gradually becoming a place where “many things follow the mainland”.
三中全會上月在北京「勝利舉行」，相關的「精神」對港影響深遠，高官議員自然要「牙牙學語」，了解箇中意思。中央派來香港的宣講團成員包括全國人大憲法和法律委員會副主任委員、全國人大常委會法制工作委員會沈春耀，以及商務部黨組書記、部長王文濤。三中全會其中一個重點是發展「新質生產力」，選委界立法會議員尚海龍今在電台節目表示，相信香港創科研發「大有可為」。全國港澳研究會副會長譚耀宗則指香港租金太貴，政府要「諗下辦法」，他又指香港不能「食老本」，但不同意香港「搞搞下好多嘢跟內地」。

譚耀宗指區選投票率：合理、唔少㗎 惟不知中央會否接受
The government made every effort to promote voting in the District Council election, but the turnout revealed this morning was only 27.54%, below the widely reported target of 30%. Tam Yiu-chung, vice-chairman of the National Hong Kong and Macao Studies Association, said on a radio programme that the turnout was “reasonable” and “within expectations”, but said, “I don’t know” whether the central authorities would accept the result. He believed the central authorities would of course prefer more people to vote under the new electoral system, but said the actual circumstances would also have to be considered—for example, if society was peaceful and stable and voters felt that “it doesn’t matter; it’s all patriots governing, whoever wins is fine”, so they simply did not go. He interpreted the 27.54% turnout as showing that “everyone supports it”, noting that nearly 1.2 million people had voted and that “the figure is not insignificant”.
政府谷盡區議會選舉投票宣傳，投票率今早揭底牌，只得27.54%，低於盛傳的三成目標。全國港澳研究會副會長譚耀宗在電台節目稱投票率「合理、屬期預期之中」，但中央會否接受結果「我就唔知道」，相信中央當然認為新選制「愈多人投更加好啦」，但仍要見實際情境，例如社會平靜穩定，選民覺得「無所謂啦都係愛國者治，邊個贏都好，佢咪唔去囉」。他對於27.54%投票率的解讀，是說明「大家都係支持嘅」，因為有近120萬人投票，「個數字都唔少㗎喎」。

譚耀宗：無民主派不等於無多元化 未為區選投票率定指標
Voting in the District Council election will take place next month. Asked whether turnout below 30% would indicate that the public did not recognise the new electoral system, former Standing Committee member of the National People’s Congress and vice-president of the National Hong Kong and Macao Studies Association Tam Yiu-chung said no specific target or percentage had been set for turnout. He said: “Everyone should mobilise together and call on all sides to come out and vote at the time, and fulfil our civic duties and responsibilities.” Asked whether the “zeroing out” of the pro-democracy camp meant the election might not be colourful and diverse, Tam disagreed, saying that the absence of the pro-democracy camp did not mean “the disappearance of diversity”. He said the new system could elect people wholeheartedly committed to serving society, rather than people who caused trouble.
區議會選舉下月進行投票，被問到如今屆選舉投票率低於三成，是否反映市民不認同新選制。前全國人大常委、全國港澳研究會副會長譚耀宗稱，未有為投票率定下具體指標、百分比：「大家一齊動員起嚟，呼籲各方一齊到時出嚟投票，盡下公民嘅義務責任。」被問到民主派「清零」，或未能做到五光十色，譚耀宗不同意，指沒民主派亦不等如「無咗多元化」 ，新制度可以選出一心一意為社會服務人士，而不是搞事的人。

譚耀宗批彭定康仍對香港「齮齮齕齕」 稱曾遭港英打壓拒借大會堂
Tam Yiu-chung, former Standing Committee member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and vice-president of the National Hong Kong and Macao Studies Association, published a new book and held a sharing session at the Book Fair on Saturday. Tam said that when he was responsible for cultural and recreational activities at the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, he once applied to use City Hall but was refused: “We were singing and dancing, and weren’t talking about anything else, but they still wouldn’t let us. Everything was banned! Even that wasn’t allowed!” He criticised former Hong Kong governor Chris Patten for still “finding fault” with Hong Kong: “You keep talking about this and that! Look at your ancestors— even when we rented a venue, they suppressed us!”
前全國政協常委、全國港澳研究會副會長譚耀宗出版新書，周六在書展舉行分享會。譚耀宗提到，當年在工聯會負責文娛康樂活動，曾向大會堂申請場地卻遭拒批：「我哋唱歌跳舞，無講其他嘢都唔俾，都禁！咁樣都唔得！」他批評，前港督彭定康仍對香港「齮齮齕齕」：「又話呢樣嗰樣！你睇吓你啲祖宗，我哋租個場都俾佢打壓！」
