On Friday's Backchat, we're discussing plans to build public housing flats on the Fanling Golf Course.
The Planning Department on Monday temporarily rezoned a part of the golf course in Fanling from "residential" to "undetermined".
But the Development minister Bernadette Linn made clear that the government still plans to build public flats on a part of the golf course, despite the change.
She added that she couldn't give a concrete timetable for the development and said the original goal of 12,000 homes may not be met.
The change comes as the golf club, is scheduled to host the Aramco golf tournament in October. It has also been shortlisted for hosting the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf Tournament next year.
After 9:45am, we'll find out more about an extinct human species that may have been the first to bury their dead.

On Friday's Backchat we'll talk about China’s extreme heatwave.
Parts of the mainland have been experiencing searing temperatures for more than two months – with many rivers and reservoirs running dry because of a severe drought and scant rainfall.
The Ministry of Agriculture warns that the unprecedented heatwave is posing challenges for autumn crops. Authorities are now turning to artificial rainfall and using more coal as hydropower output plunges as electricity demand surge.
What do you think? How would this affect Food supplies?
After 9:15 we will look at the preservation of neon light signs, after some iconic signs in Yau Ma Tei were removed by the government recently.
