On Tuesday's programme, we talked about the government’s drive to improve living conditions for people who live in subdivided flats. New regulations to be brought in will mandate basic requirements for shoebox flats – including on size, height, and things like requiring windows and toilets in each unit. The first step is for landlords whose flats don’t currently fulfil these new requirements to start registering with authorities next year, before making the needed renovations. We talked to a lawmaker to see how things are going.
We also looked into the Labubu craze that has taken the world by storm.
We then spoke to experts about the dangers of microplastics before finding out all about the “Month of Portugal” in Macau.
