The New Macau Association (ANM) has surpassed its goal of HKD300,000 for an online crowdfunding campaign launched on FringeBacker on January 8 to raise money for its activities.
ANM amassed HKD324,870 with 28 days left in its campaign, which represents 108 percent of the original goal.
A total of 175 people each donated an average of more than HKD1,800.
ANM’s elected lawmaker Sulu Sou told the Times he was satisfied with the outcome. “I’m very touched! Nothing is impossible in this city.”
In the campaign’s comment section, 69 commenters had left supportive messages such as, “Keep going! You are not alone!” Some even referred to the Legislative Assembly’s suspension of Sou’s mandate, saying, “Just want to support you, I hope you can return to the Legislative Assembly as fast as possible to help more Macau residents.”
Electoral promises were also not forgotten, as seen in comments such as, “I hope you will honor your promise and improve this decadent but still loved place.”
According to FringeBacker’s rules, the campaign will remain active and continue collecting donations until the campaign ends on April 8.
In the event the campaign had not met its established goal within the 90-day period, all the money would have been refunded to those who backed the campaign. RM
