Association claims former leader has no influence on operations

The Macau Historical Districts Developments Promotion Association has expressed its confidence in the association’s service despite the case involving the real estate agency owner, Isabel Chiang, who used to be the president of the association.

The current chairman of the association, also surnamed Chiang, said that he started serving at his current post in December 2018. He further claimed that the change in leadership poses no influence on the association’s operation.

Currently, approximately ten shops at Rua dos Ervanários are tenants of Isabel Chiang’s real estate agency.

These shops are currently in a stable situation and reportedly have not been affected by Isabel Chiang’s case. Moreover, no shop owners have suspended their leases because of the case.

The association chairman said that the shops are more concerned about whether the association can continue to organize activities to attract more people to their premises. 

The association’s chairman said that the association aims to serve the entire Macau community, not specific individuals.

According to the Judiciary Police, as of 5 p.m. yesterday the number of victims of Chiang’s case had increased to 51, involving more than HKD227 million.

The victims include one Hong Kong resident and one mainland resident.
