    Dementia / Ionospheric scintillation phenomenon

    On Thursday's Backchat, we're talking about dementia.

    The Equal Opportunities Commission has released new guidelines encouraging employers to support workers with dementia and those caring for relatives with the handicap.
    This comes as the number of people suffering from Alzheimer's disease or similar conditions could reach 330,000 by 2039 as the city's population keeps ageing.
    Whilst most people diagnosed with dementia are retired, a significant chunk are still active in the workforce, prompting rights' groups to call for new measures.
    So how serious is dementia among the working elderly? Which sectors need to adapt the most? And are carers given adequate support?
    After 9:45, we speak to a scientist about why the recent drone show had to be cancelled.

    Regulation of Hong Kong's home decoration services / Hong Kong's first hydrogen double decker bus

    主持人:Jenny Lam and Mike Rowse

    On Monday's Backchat, we're looking at whether home renovation services need to be regulated.

    The Consumer Council said it receives hundreds of complaints each year about renovation firms, regarding issues such as the quality of work carried out, completion times and cost disputes.
    It warned that problems can crop up right at the beginning of the process, with a lot of quotations provided by firms leaving a lot to be desired.
    To help resolve the problem, the watchdog is now suggesting the government introduce a standard quotation template, covering things such as separate costs for various materials, labour fees, payment schedules and remedies for any delays, so that potential customers can make meaningful comparisons between various renovation firms.
    How useful would such a system be? Should the industry regulate itself, or is it a job for the government?
    After 9:45am, we’ll find out more about Hong Kong’s first hydrogen-powered double decker that just hit the road today.
