Listen in on West Kowloon talks
The public gets a chance to listen in on the latest discussions on the development of the West Kowloon Cultural District. The West Kowloon Cultural District Authority faced criticism earlier this year for failing to offer details of its board meetings on its website.

Samsung brings Galaxy S4 to HK
Samsung Electronics launches its much anticipated flagship smartphone model, the Galaxy S4, on the Hong Kong market at a media event at the Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai. The phone has been a huge hit since the South Korean manufacturer began rolling it out in international markets earlier this month.
