    Political turmoil in South Korea / H5N1 bird flu pandemic concerns

    On Monday’s Backchat, we’re looking into the latest political developments in South Korea.

    President Yoon Suk Yeol survived an impeachment motion tabled against him over the weekend, just a few days after his short-lived attempt to impose martial law.
    The embattled leader has since apologised for what opposition parties decried as an abuse of power, while the ruling People Power Party called on Yoon to resign, despite its MPs boycotting Saturday’s impeachment vote.
    The main opposition Democratic Party has warned that it would hold new waves of protests, with another impeachment vote scheduled on December 14.
    Meanwhile, authorities arrested former defence minister Kim Yong-hyun on Sunday over his alleged role in the turmoil, while President Yoon could face potential charges of insurrection and abuse of power.
    Are the country’s democratic institutions strong enough to withstand this unprecedented political crisis? And what’s next? We’ll ask the experts.
    In the last part of the programme, we speak to an epidemiologist, as scientists fear that the H5N1 bird flu could turn into a pandemic.

    MTR's escalator safety campaign / Launch of electric ferries / Interview with EOC Chairperson

    主持人:Janice Wong and Frank Yung

    On Thursday’s Backchat, we’re talking about a new MTR safety campaign to discourage commuters from walking on escalators.

    Citing over 400 escalator related accidents in the first nine months of this year, the MTR Corporation is deploying staff on both sides of some escalators to stop passengers walking up or down.
    The corporation has promised not to invoke its by-laws, which allow fines of up to $5,000 for “improper use” of escalators. But some netizens are still angry, saying the campaign is unnecessary and the MTR should focus on improving its lifts instead.
    So what do you make of this move? Is it sensible? Or exaggerated?
    After 9:30, we talk about a pilot scheme promoting the trial of electric ferries in Hong Kong.
    And after 9:45, we discuss with the Equal Opportunities Commission about some NGOs calls to give the body more power.
