Chief Executive Sam Hou Fai stated that profound and complex changes are currently taking place both domestically and internationally for Macau, adding that the practice of “one country, two systems” has entered a new stage.

Sam’s remarks were made during a reception commemorating the 98th anniversary of the People’s Liberation Army.

“Amidst accelerating changes and global transformation, of a kind not seen in a century, and a world entering a new phase of turbulence, Macau’s internal and external environments are undergoing profound and complex shifts,” the Chief Executive noted.

He pledged that the SAR Government “will continue to maintain close ties and collaboration with the PLA Macau Garrison, guiding residents to cherish and safeguard hard-won stability and harmony,” while praising the Garrison for helping to safeguard the “one country, two systems” principle with Macau characteristics.

As the city approaches another election cycle, the arrest of Au Kam San is not just a legal case – it is a statement. It signals a narrowing of political tolerance and a recalibration of what is permissible in public discourse. In times of political consolidation, how a society treats its critics defines the strength of its legal and moral foundations.

Macau still has the opportunity to demonstrate that national security and civic freedom are not mutually exclusive. But that will depend on what happens next – not just in courtrooms, but in the public square.

restrictions on cash handouts to exclude some not living in Macau

 MAY25 F or the first time in its 17–year existence, the government’s Wealth Partaking Scheme – which distributes cash handouts to residents yearly – has been amended. Following public outcry that the government should use public funds more wisely and allocate them only to those residing full time in Macau, the Executive Council (ExCo) yesterday presented a new version of the scheme that includes a provision excluding those who did not stay in Macau for at least 183 days in 2024. As the Secretary for Administration and Justice and spokesperson for the ExCo, André Cheong noted during a press conference at Government Headquarters, there are eight exceptions to the “183 days” rule. These include: those who have not reached 22 years of age by Dec. 31, 2024, with at least one eligible parent for the handout; those receiving disability or subsidy allowances as of Dec. 31, 2024; those abroad enrolled in tertiary education programs; and those hospitalized abroad; those over 65 living in ma...

Xi Jinping (inclui visita Dec24)

jan25 B eijing’s top official on Hong Kong and Macau affairs has urged the two cities to fully leverage the advantages of the ‘One country, two systems’ governance model. Speaking yesterday, Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office (HKMAO), highlighted Chinese President Xi Jinping’s seven key expectations for Macau, outlined during his visit last month, as a valuable reference for Hong Kong. Xia emphasized the importance of the business community in steering both cities through economic transitions, calling it a vital driving force. During two speeches marking the 25th anniversary of Macau’s return to Chinese administration, Xi called on the city to expand its role on the global stage, embrace diversity, avoid complacency, and accelerate economic diversification. The president also stressed the need for public administration reforms, broader international engagement, and maintaining social harmony and stability. https://macaudailytimes.com.mo/xia-baolong-urges-ma...

Casinos- diversificação

ab25 The idea of university–industry partnership is a good one raised by Sam, but this requires authorities and leaders from all Macau universities to sit down and discuss with the government and private-sector corporations of not only Macau but also the mainland, notably those in the Greater Bay Area, how scientific research will be conducted, how Chinese medicine will be “westernised” and advanced further through innovative research, and how new patents will be developed in the South China region. Furthermore, Sam Hou Fai has encouraged Macau’s casino concessionaires to invest in the In-Depth Cooperation Zone, but the details will have to be delineated so that the mobilisation of private-sector corporations will be truly effective in Macau’s quest for economic diversification. Eighth, given that a huge portion of Macau’s revenues still comes from the gaming industry, casino capitalism will remain the mainstay of the local economy. As such, it is wise for Sam Hou Fai’s policy address ...
