    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.

    Obesity figures / Broadcasting of court proceedings / Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2025

    主持人:Brian Wong and Rainbow Leung

     On Wednesday's Backchat, we discussed obesity rates in the region.

    A study from the mainland's National Health Commission has raised alarm bells, predicting that by 2030 — 65 percent of China’s population could be classified as overweight or even obese.

    Experts estimate that treating overweight patients could take up 22 percent of the country's annual health budget, a sharp increase from the 8 percent recorded in 2022.

    These statistics have prompted the nation’s top legislative body to intensify efforts to tackle obesity. So what distinguishes obesity from being overweight? Is dietary change a significant factor? And what about lifestyle changes and stress?

    In the latter part of the programme, we learned more about the Judicary's pilot scheme which allows for some court proceedings to be broadcast live. 

    After 9:45, we talked about Web3 development in Hong Kong, and what’s being done to further boost the digital economy.
