The future of West Kowloon
On Thursday’s Backchat, the future of West Kowloon.
Authorities have announced they will withdraw the tender exercise for a massive mixed development in the West Kowloon Cultural District which includes retail, hotel and exhibition components.
They said the decision is based on the uncertain market economic outlook and the unsatisfactory response from the tender exercise.
What are the implications, as West Kowloon is expected to rely on income from commercial leaseholders after building? How will Covid and our economic position affect plans? Is there any demand for more hotels, grade A office space and exhibition venues? What is progress like at the long delayed project?
Get involved and let us know what you think. You can leave a message on our Facebook Backchat on RTHK Radio 3, email us at backchat@rthk.hk, or give us a call on 23388266.

Latest of Covid-19 in US and Hong Kong
主持人：Hugh Chiverton and Ada Wong
On Tuesday's Backchat, the latest Covid-19 situation in Hong Kong.
For the second day since the past Sunday, Hong Kong has recorded more than one hundred confirmed cases in a day. On Sunday, Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced work-for-home arrangements for civil servants and top microbiology expert Professor Yuen Kwok-yung warned on Monday Hong Kong may have to go into a virtual lockdown if the number of coronavirus cases continues to increase in the next seven to 14 days.
What contributed to the sudden increase of confirmed case? Any signs showing there's a mutation of the virus or simply because the public became less vigilant? What made this Covid-19 virus so difficult to tackle?
Let us know your thoughts. You can leave a message on our Facebook page: Backchat on RTHK Radio 3, email us at backchat@rthk.hk, or give us a call on 23388266.
