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.

APEC meeting / Urban farm pilot project / Japan bear attacks

On Monday's Backchat, we looked back at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit that wrapped up in South Korea over the weekend. Leaders from 21 countries and regions convened to discuss advancing regional connectivity, spurring innovation-driven growth and creating a more resilient future for the Asia-Pacific.
In the lead up to the summit, a highly-anticipated meeting between President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump took place in Busan.
After that, we learned about the government's new urban farming pilot project which was launched in Ma On Shan last month.
At the end of the programme, we got to the bottom of the spike in bear attacks in Japan, after the country reported that the number of people killed by encounters with the wild animal reached a record twelve so far this year.
