John Lee wants focus for his Q&A session
Politics
Chief Executive John Lee requested that the Legislative Council spend his upcoming Q&A session today focusing on specific topics. While councillors are allowed to stray from the areas Lee asked them to discuss, he wishes to keep this session’s topics to the following:
land and housing supply
COVID action
promoting Hong Kong
“telling Hong Kong’s story well”
innovation and technology development
youth development
environmental hygiene and cityscape
Former CE Carrie Lam has not made this request before, although Legislative Council President Andrew Leung has said that Lee’s written request is an accepted and permitted practice by LegCo’s rules.

Like dinosaurs? Like Antarctica? Well, you’ll love the new 3D Dome show at the Space Museum! From the event itself:
Utilising top-tier computer graphics, the 3D Dome Show "Dinosaurs of Antarctica 3D" reconstructs Antarctica's hidden-greener-past when it was warm and forested with newly-discovered dinosaurs and bug-eyed creatures roaming freely. As we follow the hunt with Cryolophosaurus, the largest known early Jurassic carnivore on Earth, we learn that survival in the prehistoric Antarctica was no easy task.
