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.

Saturday night 6.10 to 8... on Radio 3

Every week, all around Hong Kong, there are many fascinating talks and lectures happening, on a variety of topics. You can easily find them online by looking at the websites of our universities, societies, and libraries. We've chosen ten for you to listen to here on Radio 3. For the next few Sunday mornings at 7.30, Carol Mang will be introducing abridged versions of what we think are a great selection of talks for you to listen to and indulge your... Mind Matters.

In this week's episode, we will talk about authorship in early China. In pre-imperial China, individual authorship was not valued as much as the collective roles involved in the creation and interpretation of texts. Professor Martin Kern from Princeton University will shed light on the importance of text reception, performance and transformation and give us a new framework to think about textual agency and authority. Professor Kern was invited by the New Asia College and Department of Chinese Language and Literature of CUHK to give a talk entitled Rethinking Authorship in Early China, and we'll hear part  of it this week.

Sundays from 7.30am to 8am... on Radio 3

This week... a classic tv theme from Don Ralke, from 1959, is a highlight of our collection. It’s Sonny Greer & His Memphis Men for a Saturday Night Function, and, taking on the role of teacher, is Dinah Washington. Plus, Colin brings you Tommy Dorsey, David Whitfield, and the fabulous Bea Booze!

Sundays from 8.30am to 9am... only on Radio 3

On this week’s Sunday Escape Carolyn is flying solo as Paul’s away. As usual she'll have a huge stash of new albums to play music from, including records from Loren Kramar, Justice, Pet Shop Boys, The Fat White Family, Iron & Wine and St Vincent. Among the new singles there’s music from Girl and Girl, Honne, and Fred Roberts. There’s also a brand new cover version for the Sunday Cover Supplement, this time courtesy of David Byrne. 

Joining Carolyn in the studio will be Gabriella Augustsson of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce, and she'll be talking about a Eurovision Dance Party taking place in Hong Kong on 11th May, which will celebrate the iconic music contest as well as the 50th anniversary of ABBA’s win back in 1974. You can expect a couple of Eurovision classics, as well as a discussion of those entrants who seem doomed to forever receive 'nil points'. All that, plus the Super Clever Music Mystery Quiz, and hopefully some biscuits!

Tune in on Sunday from 9.05am to 1pm.
