    Welfare of the mentally challenged / Urban resilience in the face of extreme weather

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we're discussing issues surrounding the welfare of mentally disabled people.

    This comes as a 78-year-old man was found dead, with his intellectually challenged son unharmed besides his body. The tragedy was brought to light last Thursday after building management staff detected a foul smell, with preliminary findings estimating that the elderly carer died one to two days prior to the discovery.

    The tragedy has renewed calls to establish a list of "high risk" residents, as some care givers may themselves be in need of help. In late 2023, two intellectually challenged brothers in their fifties died of suspected starvation after their elderly mother was admitted to hospital. The case sent shock waves throughout the city, prompting various bodies to mobilise dedicated teams watching out for residents at risk.  

    After 9:45, we talk about Hong Kong buildings' resilience in the face of extreme weather, with hourly rainfall poised to increase by up to 40 percent in the next decade.

    Halloween economy / Crowd control in Lan Kwai Fong / Planned law amendments on abandoned cars

    主持人:Jim Gould and Car Ha

    On Thursday’s Backchat, we’re talking about Halloween, as the city’s nightlife spots and tourists attractions are gearing up for the celebrations.

    From restaurants providing themed menus to costume shops competing to sell the most frightening outfits, Halloween has long been seen as a major revenue driver for businesses.
    Despite this year’s date falling on a weekday, authorities are expecting 25,000 revelers in Lan Kwai Fong alone, but questions remain as to how much people are ready to spend.
    Meanwhile, security is expected to be tight, and the police have installed 50 new CCTV cameras with crowd counting capabilities. Facial and car plate recognition functions will be added next year as part of a territory-wide upgrade of video surveillance systems.
    So how popular has Halloween become? Are this year’s celebrations attracting people from across the border? And is AI going to relieve some of the crowd control duties from the police?
    After 9:45, we’re talking about a planned change in the law to tackle the problem of unwanted vehicles being abandoned.
