On Wednesday's Backchat: the Macau gaming industry; and World Aids Day.
Macau casino shares trade here slumped on Monday after police arrested 11 people at the weekend over alleged money-laundering and illegal cross-border gambling.
Alvin Chau, head of the Macau casino junket operator Suncity Group, has been remanded in custody in the SAR after authorities in Wenzhou, in mainland China, issued an arrest warrant for him. Such operators act as go-betweens, bringing big-spending visitors to the casinos, extending them credit and collecting interest on their debts.
There’s also uncertainty surrounding the future of the casino sector, with gaming concessions due to expire in the middle of next year.
From 9:15am, we’re talking more about Aids and HIV, as December 1 is World Aids Day.

The Institute for the Environment at the University of Science and Technology has released a new mobile app that can help users analyse their personal air pollution exposure from outdoor and indoor locations, and what are described as different micro-environments.
Called PRAISE-HK-EXP, the latest technology builds on an earlier version released three years ago, and aims to provide users with personalised real-time air quality information.
In June this year the government unveiled its Clean Air Plan for Hong Kong 2035, setting a new target to reach the same standards of air quality as major international cities such as Tokyo and Paris in 14 years' time.
From 9:15am, we’re talking about the drop in student numbers after the government decided to merge two schools starting next September.
