    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.

    Anti-smoking legislation / The fall of former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol

    主持人:Jenny Lam and Rainbow Leung

    On Monday’s Backchat, we discussed the government’s plans to prohibit the smoking and possession of e-cigarettes from the second quarter of next year, with the ultimate goal of putting in place a total ban on the products — including in private venues.

    A bill expected to be submitted soon will also aim to ban the sale of shisha and flavored cigarettes within the coming two years. There are proposals as well to increase the penalty for the illicit importation of cigarettes. Meanwhile, plans are in the pipeline to expand no-smoking areas.
    While anti-smoking advocates back these initiatives, some lawmakers have voiced concerns over the potential impact on F&B outlets.
    After 9:45, we delved into the recent downfall of former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was removed from office by court ruling last week following his failed attempt to impose martial law. How's the country reacting to the court decision? What lies ahead for the former prosecutor-turned-politician?
