林鄭月娥表示,
Like the national flag and the national emblem, the national anthem is the symbol and sign of the nation. As an inalienable part of the People's Republic of China, the HKSAR is duty-bound to preserve the dignity of the national anthem through legislation.
國歌與國旗、國徽一樣,是國家的象征和標(biāo)志。香港特別行政區(qū)作為國家不可分離的部分,立法維護(hù)國歌的尊嚴(yán),是特區(qū)應(yīng)有之義。
I hope that members of the public will respect the national anthem of their own volition, hence the promotion of the national anthem is of paramount importance.
