Alexis Tam has filed for retirement after 33 years in the Macau civil service.
Tam had been head of the Macao Economic and Commercial Delegation in Lisbon and a representative of the same delegation in the European Union in Brussels and the World Trade Organization in Geneva.
The Chief Executive (CE), Ho Iat Seng, has appointed Lúcia Abrantes dos Santos, the deputy head of the Macau delegation since 2019, to Tam’s former roles in an order published in the government’s official gazette.
Before this new appointment, Santos had worked in the Macau civil service at the Public Administration and Civil Service Bureau and the Office of the Secretary for Transport and Public Works.
Tam has led the Macao Economic and Commercial Delegation in Lisbon since 2019, after leaving his post as Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture under the government of Chui Sai On in 2014.
Previously he was the head of the office of the former CE and the government’s spokesperson from early 2010.
Tam, who is 60 years’ old, began his career in the Macau civil service in 1989 at the Statistics and Census Bureau. RM
