Today we are talking housing issues for the people in the first part of the show. In the second half, we’ll discuss tennis star Novak Djokovic getting no love in the home of kangas and wallabies as he is shut out of Australia and the Australian Open.
But first, housing! Chief Executive Carrie Lam has unveiled measures to make housing more liveable and more affordable in an attempt to tackle Hong Kong’s serious housing issues.
Authorities have set a minimum flat size requirement of 280 square feet on new projects built on government land. The new rule will be tested in Tuen Mun where 2,020 flats will be built, with tenders coming out in the next quarter. Secretary for Development Michael Wong said the new measure is expected to cover about 13 percent of the city’s private housing supply.
Meanwhile, the government is also considering a new mortgage scheme for subsidised flats so that it’s easier for people to get on the housing ladder and become property owners.
After 9.15am, we’ll talk about tennis player Novak Djokovic as Australia cancelled his entry visa following a backlash over a vaccine exemption granted for him to play in the Australian Open.
