      Hong Kong choking on food waste

      http://www.scmp.com/video Hong Kong may be considered a gourmet's paradise but it's also becoming known as a city that wastes excessive amounts of food. According to the Environmental Protection Department, about 3,300 tonnes of food is thrown away daily. That means each person on average wastes about half-a-kilogram a day. Because food waste is non-recycable, it is dumped into our rapidly filling landfills. Along with the 9,300 tonnes of municipal rubbish produced every day, the city's landfi...

      Fan favourite Michael Chang returns

      http://www.scmp.com/video/ Hong Kong loves an underdog, and that's a role that Michael Chang has played through most of his career. The highlight of his career came when he was just 17-years-old, when he defeated Stefan Edberg in the final of the 1989 French Open. Chang remains the youngest ever male winner of a Grand Slam tournament. In this video, we chat with Michael ahead of the Hong Kong Tennis Classic 2010 in Victoria Park.
