The Secretary for Security, Wong Sio Chak, said that Macau “cannot go through chaos,” in response to a question regarding Macau’s repeated denial of entry to a Hong Kong politician.
Hong Kong politician Casper Wong was recently denied entry in Macau.
Secretary Wong Sio Chak said that Macau is a small place which cannot be subjected to chaos, adding that the police have the rights and responsibilities to ensure that.
“If we do not do [border control] well, I will bear the responsibility in case Macau becomes a chaotic city in the future,” said Wong.
When asked why Macau denied entry to someone who could travel to China, Wong said that Macau and mainland China use different systems.
“This does not mean that if the mainland bans [someone] then we must ban too,” said Wong, who noted that every region and country has its own standards.
Wong claimed that denying entry is unrelated to the occupation of the involved parties. He reaffirmed that the Macau security force only acknowledges the person’s identity after their entry has been denied.
Wong said that the “US banned an entire country,” which means they are banning more people than Macau.
