The Chief Executive, Mr Chui Sai On, said today the Government would continue to improve the people’s livelihood and to promote economic prosperity this year.

In his New Year Message to the people, Mr Chui said the Government would carry on the principle of adopting more scientific policy-making processes in order to realise a ‘Sunshine Government’.

To improve governance, the Government would focus on constructing sound systems in different areas, he said.

The Government would promote low-carbon economy, support small- and medium-sized enterprises, enhance the social security system and uphold integrity among civil servants.

The reason behind promoting economic prosperity was to improve the people’s well-being and the Government was adamant that social vulnerable groups should be supported, he said.

By giving continuing education subsidy to the citizens, the Government encourages the people to work hard and improve their competitiveness, he said.

Mr Chui said more happiness was brought to the Macao people as Hoi Hoi and Sam Sam, the two pandas given by the Central Government, would meet the public this year.

He expressed his warmest wishes to Macao citizens and wished Macao would have a better development.
