Hung Hom harbourfront development plans / The legacy of Hollywood star Gene Hackman

Presenters：Jenny Lam and Ada Wong

On Monday’s Backchat, we’re talking about plans by the government to develop the waterfront around Hung Hom.

Delivering his Budget speech last Wednesday, Financial Secretary Paul Chan said that his administration would propose building a new yacht club as well as commercial and residential developments in the district.

The sailing industry largely welcomed the minister’s plans, adding that Hong Kong had a lot of potential to become a regional pioneer in the field. However, some have reservations as to whether Hung Hom is the right place to build such facilities.

After 9:45, we look into the legacy of Hollywood actor Gene Hackman, who was found dead at home, alongside his wife and dog.

9:05am-9:45am: Hung Hom harbourfront development plans

9:05am-9:45am: Aaron Goach, Vice Commodore, Hebe Haven Yacht Club

9:05am-9:45am: Ian Brownlee, Managing Director of Masterplan Limited
