    Taxi unions threatening strike / Rise in cervical cancer cases

    On Monday’s Backchat, we talk about a potential strike by a cab drivers’ union.

    The Hong Kong Tele-call Taxi Association warned that its members could go on strike for at least five days in March, unless authorities take action against illegal ride-hailing services.
    This comes as the government is expected to unveil a framework which could lead to the legalisation of currently unregulated private hire services. And while some taxi drivers worry over the future of their trade, not all agree with resorting to industrial action.
    After 9:45, we learn more about ways through which people can get screened for cervical cancer, as cases over the past decade jumped by more than 30 percent.

    Government spending / Making Hong Kong a Halal-friendly destination

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Philip Wong

    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.
