New penalty system for power outages / Suspected poisoning of a guide dog
On Friday‘s Backchat we are talking about the new penalty system for power outages.
The government reached an agreement with Hong Kong’s two power firms to fine them for major supply disruptions. The size of the fine depends on how many people are affected, and for how long.
For example, a power disruption with a combined 15 million minutes will cost CLP around HK$20 million. Hongkong Electric will have to pay the same amount for an outage that lasts 10 million minutes.
But some lawmakers are questioning how effective this penalty system is – pointing out that fines could be offset by an existing system that rewards the power companies for restoring power.
After 9:45am, we look at the suspected poisoning of a guide dog at a Tseung Kwan O mall.
9:05-9:30am Gary Zhang, lawmaker
9:05am-9:45am Dr. William Yu Yuen-ping, Chief Executive of World Green Organisation
9:30am-9:45am Tom Ng, Campaigner at Greenpeace

The gatherings of the top political bodies are expected to see major reshuffles in
government posts, including premiers, vice-premiers and market regulators. At the end of
the session, Li Qiang, the number two leader, is expected to succeed in Keqiang as
premier.
After 9:15, we’ll be looking at fire safety considerations in a high-rise city like Hong Kong,
