Tung Chung MTR line extension / Visa applicants required to declare prior convictions
主持人：Jim Gould and Mike Rowse
On Monday's Backchat, we're talking about the planned extension to the Tung Chung MTR line.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Thursday to mark the start of construction work.
Scheduled for completion in 2029, the project will include two new stations -- Tung Chung East and Tung Chung West -- and is part of the broader development of the area which is underway and which will result in a big increase in population.
The new stations will eventually allow more convenient access for many to the MTR. However, critics have voiced dissatisfaction with the lengthy timeline of the project's planning and construction, pointing out that many new residents will already have moved in several years before the stations are completed.
After 9:45, we look into a new requirement for visa applicants to declare any criminal convictions.
Let us know what you think. You can leave a message here on our Facebook page, email us at backchat@rthk.hk, or give us a call on 23388266.
