Housing ladder enhancements / Mountaineering tourism in Nepal / Using AI to revive calligraphy
On Monday's Backchat, we talked to property experts after the Housing Authority's subsidised housing committee approved a series of measures to encourage upward mobility by enhancing the housing ladder. This includes increasing the allocation of homes under the White Form Secondary Market Scheme by 1,000 to 7,000, and cutting the resale restriction period for new subsidised sale flats from 15 to 10 years.
After the break, we learned more about Nepal's recent changes to its mountaineering tourism - after the South Asian nation announced free entry to 97 uncharted mountain peaks for the next two years, in a move to help divert crowds from popular sites like Mount Everest.
Finally, we talked a local calligraphist about the revival of a thousand-year-old damaged masterpiece using artificial intelligence.
