On this programme, we looked at how taxis may soon be allowed into Discovery Bay. Plans are in the pipeline to add more taxi stands, and allow door-to-door drop-off access. The proposal is currently being considered by the Discovery Bay City Owners' Committee, drawing mixed reactions from residents.
We then heard from members of a Hong Kong delegation that attended the International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva, in Switzerland. The cohort comprising universities, tech companies and public bodies, won nearly 300 prizes.
And finally, we looked at new regulations by the Education Bureau to encourage primary schools that do not have enough students to merge. The bureau said that for the upcoming academic year, 15 schools will be unable to operate a primary one class due to a lack of pupils.
