On this programme, we start with a discussion on the importance of reading.
The government has designated April 23 as the Hong Kong Reading for All Day and will hold Hong Kong Reading Week this week to encourage residents to enjoy reading through diverse activities. A recent survey by the Hong Kong Publishing Professionals Society also showed that reading has declined in SAR and the larger world.
We then talk to a professor from the University of Hong Kong about the official launch of a new city-wide healthcare programme that will strengthen primary health support at the community level, as well as enable residents to gain practical health knowledge.
After the break, we take a closer look at a new study that finds that robotic hip replacements not only lowers re-operation rates compared to conventional surgery, but enables patients to return to normal life more quickly.
And to wrap it up, we chat with a musician on how 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson single-handedly changed the music landscape, as his highly-anticipated biopic "Michael" releases in threatres today in Hong Kong.

On Tuesday's programme, we talked about the government’s drive to improve living conditions for people who live in subdivided flats. New regulations to be brought in will mandate basic requirements for shoebox flats – including on size, height, and things like requiring windows and toilets in each unit. The first step is for landlords whose flats don’t currently fulfil these new requirements to start registering with authorities next year, before making the needed renovations. We talked to a lawmaker to see how things are going.
We also looked into the Labubu craze that has taken the world by storm.
We then spoke to experts about the dangers of microplastics before finding out all about the “Month of Portugal” in Macau.
