In his Lunar New Year message today, the Chief Executive Mr Chui Sai On repeated his pledge to continue with efforts to enhance various areas of governance and to build Macao into a joyful home for the people.

He said the Government would keep itself up to date with new trends of the society, learn more of the expectations of the people and strive for a sustainable future for Macao.

But in these festive moments we must not forget those who were in need and share our joy and warmth with them, he said.

Mr Chui also thanked civil servants and people who had to work over the holidays: he wished everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.
