    Government spending / Making Hong Kong a Halal-friendly destination

    On Thursday's Backchat, we're talking about how to make the best use of public funds at a time when all government departments are being asked to tighten their belts.

    Legislators have been meeting all week in a Special Finance Committee session to quiz officials on their spending plans for the coming year amid projections of another budget deficit of $48 billion.
    Some have raised questions about the cost of everything from the millions of dollars still being spent every month on preserving vacant COVID quarantine facilities to former Chief Executive’s Carrie Lam’s office.
    Land matters are also high on the agenda, with the government preparing to submit its funding application for the first stage of the San Tin Technopole project that is one of the centrepiece’s of the Northern Metropolis project.
    So how can the government best implement its plan to cut spending by 1% this year? And are there ways public funds can be better targeted?
    After 9:45, we'll talk about Hong Kong's appeal to Muslim tourists looking for Halal-friendly restaurants.

    Support service for poor families / Cyclist Sarah Lee's retirement

    主持人:Janice Wong and Paul Zimmerman

    On Wednesday’s Backchat, we’re looking at support services for poor families in Hong Kong – in the wake of a tragedy in which three young girls were killed.
    Police have arrested the mother on suspicion of murder. She had lived with her three daughters, aged two, four, and five in a small flat in Sham Shui Po – one of Hong Kong’s poorest districts.
    Police say the suspect had marital problems and was estranged from her husband. She was living on welfare and her family was an active case of an Integrated Family Service Centre operated by a non-governmental organisation.
    The tragedy has brought back into the spotlight the issue of whether Hong Kong’s underprivileged – especially from ethnic minority groups – receive enough support. Can more be done to prevent similar incidents in future?
    After 9:45, we’ll look at the retirement of Hong Kong cycling queen, Sarah Lee.
