On Tuesday's programme, we looked at the planned launch of 8,300 Home Ownership Scheme flats in the second quarter of 2026. The five HOS estates are located in Kai Tak, Tseung Kwan O, Tung Chung, Ping Shan and Kam Tin, with flats ranging from a little under 300 to 560 square feet in size, and costing between 1.5 and 4.8 million dollars.
And this time, public housing tenants and non-homeowners who pass asset-limit tests -- known as green form and white form applicants -- will have an equal opportunity to win a draw for the flats, due to a new measure introduced by Chief Executive John Lee in his Policy Address.
After that, we switched our focus to the Kai Tak Sports Park. The venue, which boasts a 50,000-seat stadium and only opened nine months ago, has claimed the world's top third spot in terms of ticket sales in 2025.
Wrapping up our programme, we talked to a researcher at the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society on the changes in the city's sparrow population.
