"把一個意念從夢想變成現實,創造新價值,是工程的力量。專業的力量能否有效發揮,成為制訂公共政策的基石,是關乎公眾利益的大事。我們必須讓下任特首,清楚聆聽專業的聲音,同時推動民主進程,制衡地產霸權,捍衛香港賴以成功的自由和法治。
證諸中華民族近百年的歷史,香港的民主路必定十分崎嶇。我們中間沒有專家,只能在挫折中汲取教訓,再接再厲。我明白,大家有很多恨鐵不成鋼的理由。
願您珍惜抉擇的機會,給工程界在民主路上留下踏實的足印,邁向公平公義的可持續發展。"

"The power of engineering is to turn ideas into reality, and to create value for all. Whether professionals can contribute effectively in public policy-making is a matter of significant public interest. We must make sure that the next CE can hear the voice of professionals clearly, push forward democratic development, to roll back developer hegemony and to safeguard Hong Kong's core values.
Reading China's history in the last century, it takes no time to conclude that Hong Kong's path to democracy will be full of twists and turns. We have no expert among us. We can only learn from mistakes and inch forward with perseverance. Understandably, there are good reasons for others to feel disappointed.
May I urge you to treasure this choice, and enable engineers to leave a solid footprint on Hong Kong's path to democracy and sustainable development."
