On this programme, we're joined by the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury and a lawmaker to discuss the financial initiatives under the SAR's First Five-Year Plan and the Policy Address. As Hong Kong looks to strengthen its role as a global offshore financial hub, the government is planning to expedite the development of an international gold trading market.
After the break, we talked about another dog fatal attack that took place in Yuen Long on Saturday.
The Policy Address also announced an overhaul of the city's water pipes - we looked into the nooks and crannies of it.
