    Animal cruelty laws / Youth reading habits / Online shopping scam trends

    In the first segment of Thursday's Backchat, we discussed ways to better combat animal abuse.

    Lawmakers and animal welfare groups say there's a need to beef up penalties for animal cruelty for a stronger deterrent effect. They also said there are loopholes with the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Ordinance.
    Others, meanwhile, are calling on the authorities to review restrictions for pets in restaurants and expand their access to public transport to make Hong Kong a more pet-friendly city.
    In the second part of the show, we explored young people's reading habits ahead of World Book Day.
    And in the last part, we spoke to the police to learn more about the latest online shopping scam trends.

    Proposed university fee increases / Opening of the stock exchange on typhoon days

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Philip Wong

    On today's Backchat, we're talking about the government's plan to raise university tuition fees for Hong Kong students. The HK$42,000 yearly fees for local public universities have remained unchanged for 30 years and are lower than in most other developed places.

    So Secretary for Education Christine Choi said on a RTHK programme that it's time to consider raising fees, although she pledged any increase would be implemented in stages while offering more support to those in need.
    But grassroots groups still worry that any increase could affect underprivileged students. So how does the financing of Hong Kong's tertiary institutions compare to the rest of the world? We'll find out.
    After 9:45, we find out more about plans to keep the Hong Kong Stock Exchange open during typhoons and severe rainstorms.
