    Discovery Bay taxi proposal / 51st International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva / Primary school mergers

    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.

    HKUST to run city's third medical school / Hiccup at Egyptian exhibition as crowd surges / Make Waves for Hong Kong 2025

    主持人:Azam Khan and Ada Wong

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we brought you the latest on Hong Kong's education landscape. After an eight-month race, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has been given the approval from the government to establish the city's third medical school. Secretary for Health Lo Chung-mau earlier said HKUST’s proposal ranked higher than the other two contenders – Baptist and Polytechnic universities – citing the Clear Water Bay institution's strengths in strategy, funding and research. We spoke to the university's Dean of Science and a patients' representative to find out more about the project.

    After the break, we chatted with the director of the Hong Kong Palace Museum about its ancient Egypt exhibition. The showcase received an overwhelmingly popular response by the public, leading to some crowd management disruptions over last weekend.

    Lastly, we dived into a charity swim event slated for November 27. "Make Waves for Hong Kong" will see some 30 swimmers relay swim around Hong Kong Island.

    9:05am-9:30am: HKUST to run city's third medical school

    Speakers:

    Prof. Wong Yung Hou, HKUST Dean of Science and Vice-chair of the Planning Committee for the new medical school
