The Chief Executive, John Lee, delivered his 2023 policy address last October. It covered many areas of society that he sought to improve, enhance, or change. In this new series, with the help of several senior government officials, Dr. Eugene Chan will take stock of the visible results so far, while getting some of the personal views and aspirations of his guests.

This week, Eugene's guest is the Secretary for Environment and Ecology, Tse Chin-wan.

Welcome to Thursday’s Brew, and it's still raining! Mark Rawson will be with you right after the news to introduce some more awesome 'Brewed in HK' tracks, which just get better and better. As always, everything you hear in the first half hour will be created by more of Hong Kong’s wonderful musicians. Dr. David Gething, our vet, will be with you at 1:25 today. After last week's interesting session on TCM for animals, he wants to talk about some new kinds of fermented and... insect based foods. They are all the rage! Also we had a question from a listener about her cat hiding during this 'blur' weather. "Do they get affected by pressure and humidity etc.?", she says.

Every weekday afternoon from 12 until 2... Only on Radio 3

On Thursday's Backchat, we'll be asking if flexible working is becoming the new normal.

Singapore has just announced that employers must consider employees' requests for four-day weeks and work from home from December onwards.

First introduced in response to COVID, hybrid working has also become a permanent feature of working life at many workplaces in Hong Kong, allowing employers to save money on office space while boosting workers’ morale.

So should Hong Kong follow Singapore’s example and introduce a formal process for employees to request flexible work arrangements? We'll find out.

After 9:45, we'll talk about China's Space Day, which coincides with the launch of the Shenzhou-18 spaceship.

Do call us anytime on 2338 8266 and join the conversation. WhatsApp us on 6899 8518. Comment on our Facebook page. Or email us at backchat@rthk.hk

On Thursday’s Brunch with Noreen, we're bringing you '講。香港'/ ‘Talk about Hong Kong’, and this week Angie Man will talk about how the word 'rice' is used in Cantonese phrases. After 11, we're talking to children's book author Rachel Ip about her latest book 'The Wild Outside.' Do get in touch with your song requests and comments on Facebook.
