Spanish King Felipe VI's Beijing visit / Preservation of Lee Kuan Yew's home / Sports integrity conference / Emotional consumption
On Tuesday's Backchat, we looked back at Spanish king Felipe VI's state visit to Beijing last week. China and Spain signed around 10 cooperation documents in areas like trade and economy, science and technology, and education as the two sides vowed to strengthen ties. We heard from an expert about the growing friendliness between the two nations.
We then reflected back on the legacy of Singapore's first Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, after the city state's government recently announced plans to preserve his house.
After the break, we learned more about a recent conference which took place at the Baptist University about sports integrity and anti-doping protocols.
And finally, we discussed "emotional consumption" - a new spending trend among young Chinese consumers.

MTR Tseung Kwan O line disruption / ASEAN Summit
主持人：Azam Khan and Ada Wong
On Tuesday's Backchat, we looked into the MTR's latest mishap, in which a power supply failure on the Tseung Kwan O Line disrupted services for over five hours during the evening rush hour last week.
Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan said the government is highly concerned and disappointed about the incident, and that the MTRC will have to set aside over HK$19 million in compensation in the form of a 50 percent discount on rides on a special fare day.
We spoke to an industry representative and a district councillor about the latest developments.
After the break, we shifted our focus to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit, or Asean, which is wrapping up in Kuala Lumpur. One of the highlights is the inaugural ASEAN-China-GCC summit, calling for greater cooperation with the Gulf Cooperation Council. What is the significance of this meeting at a time when Washington's tariffs are fuelling uncertainty?
