On this programme, we start off by examining a new MPF initiative, which grants employees greater autonomy by allowing them to transfer their accrued employer mandatory contributions to a scheme of their choice.
A dermatologist then tells us about the dangers of getting unauthorised cosmetic injections. It comes after authorities arrested a woman last week and seized a product which purportedly contains human skin from deceased donors.
After the break, we recap a major golf tournament that took place in the city: the Link Hong Kong Open.
And finally, two researchers from Hong Kong Shue Yan University share with us how they plan to help children affected by last year's Tai Po blaze to heal by re-establishing routine and reclaiming a sense of safety.

On this programme, we looked at the latest situation in Cuba, as the growing humanitarian crisis resulting from Washington's fuel embargo continues to grip the island. Despite thousands suffering in hospitals or without food, US President Donald Trump has threatened Havana saying "you're next". Many Cubans have taken to the streets to show resistance, and Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel says he will not capitulate under US threats.
