Sou Tim Peng
The director of Economic Services (DSE), Sou Tim Peng, has resigned, with deputy director Tai Kin Ip ready to be appointed to the position from April 5, according to information released yesterday by the Secretary for Economy and Finance.
During an interview with local media, Secretary Lionel Leong informed that Sou Tim Peng asked for his resignation to be accepted about one year ago, expressing his desire to leave the civil service.
“He hoped to retire earlier,” Leong said, adding, “I tried to persuade him to stay, but I respect his desires and therefore I accepted his resignation,” he said as cited by TDM.
Sou Tim Peng joined the civil service team in 1985, and has been the director of DSE for 17 years, since the handover in 1999.
According to Leong, the director gave enough years of service to earn an early retirement, claiming that “Sou’s resignation represents an ordinary change in personnel, and the DSE will continue to operate as usual.”
The soon to be director, Tai Kin Ip, began his service in the DSE in 1995. In 2009, he was promoted to deputy director. Since 2010, Tai has been a member of the Investment Committee of the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM). Staff reporter
