Lawmaker Leong Sun Iok hopes that Macau can improve its retirement policies. In his interpellation to the local government, Leong said that Macau should keep improving its policies on care for the elderly. He also wants the authorities to prioritize retirement policies for those in Macau, rather than retirement in other places. That being said Leong thinks that Hengqin will soon have the conditions to carry out cross-border elderly care services. The lawmaker suggests that the local government learn from other regions’ experience in setting up apartments for the elderly, and to arrange for different accommodation options in view of the different needs of the public.
No timetable for traffic accident database
The Transport Bureau (DSAT) does not have a timetable for setting up a database of traffic accidents. According to a report by public broadcaster TDM, the Transport Bureau, together with the Public Security Police Force (PSP), is collating and analyzing data regarding the establishment of a traffic accident database. Due to the large amount of data involved, the processing takes time, the DSAT said. No further information or timetable could be provided by the bureau at this stage. The DSAT said that it will join with the PSP in establishing the database, which will be announced in due course.
