On this programme, we take a closer look at the first large-scale land disposal pilot area in the Northern Metropolis. The Development Bureau said two bids were received for the flagship Hung Shui Kiu project. At the same time, the Secretary for Education Christine Choi said the first tender for the university town in Northern Metropolis will begin in two months.
After the break, a representative from the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors tells us more about their latest report on private building maintenance and repair works in the city.
And finally, we hear from an economist as the SAR saw an increase of 7.9 percent, year on year, in its retail sales value for May and extended the growth for a 13th consecutive month.
