On Tuesday's Backchat: plans to develop part of the Fanling golf course for housing.
Government officials have rejected suggestions from some members of the Advisory Council on the Environment for a rethink on the proposals, saying the land is required to help ease the housing shortage. New questions are being raised about the need for the project, now that major plans are being drawn up for the Northern Metropolis.
And earlier the Executive Council convenor Regina Ip, who’s a member of the Hong Kong Golf Club which leases the site, said says the new administration should consider scrapping the development plans which she described as not cost effective, and counter to government commitments to support the development of sports.
After 9.15am, we’ll talk about the initial development plan of Eastern Street North open space in Sai Ying Pun, an area along the Central and Western District Waterfront Promenade.

Proposed citywide ban on the feeding of wild animals; New dinosaur exhibition at the Science Museum

8:30am-9:15am: proposed citywide ban on the feeding of wild animals
On Thursday's Backchat, we're going to talk about the government's plan to expand a ban on the feeding of wild animals to cover all of Hong Kong, and introduce tougher penalties for offenders.
Officials say the feeding of wild boars has contributed to the animals becoming a nuisance in urban areas, and the current maximum penalty of HK$10,000 for offenders should be increased tenfold to HK$100,000 as a deterrent. Those who breach the law would also face jail terms of up to one year.
Currently, the feeding ban only covers specific areas such as country parks, but the Wild Animals Protection Ordinance will be amended to expand that to all areas within Hong Kong.
So, what do you think? Will increasing the penalty for feeding wild animals and expanding its coverage work? What else can be done to minimise unwanted interactions between people and wild animals?
After 9:15, we will look ahead to the new dinosaur exhibition at the Science Museum that will kick off this Friday.
