Campaigning for the post of new Chief Executive (CE) of Macau, Sam Hou Fai has met in the last few days with several civic society associations.
In a meeting with the Aliança do Povo de Instituição, an association that includes lawmakers Si Ka Lon, Song Pek Kei, and Lei Leong Wong, among others, Sam heard the proposal that the new government should consider launching a project for a universal health insurance system in Macau.
The same association also called on the solo candidate for CE to improve the retirement guarantee system and the pension mechanism for the elderly, reviewing public housing policies and deepening the coordination work between Hengqin and Macau in the areas of labor and law, among other things, a statement released on the candidate’s official website noted.
Sam noted that the association, linked with residents originally from Fujian province, has always played an important role and contributed to Macau, particularly as a “think tank.”
In a different meeting of the same kind, Sam’s campaign group has also met with representatives from the Macau Economic and Livelihood Alliance and also includes some people who hold currently directly elected seats at the Legislative Assembly, namely Lo Choi In.
The group expressed the desire that the next government could pay more attention to the Talent Acquisition Plan and provide better training and opportunities to the younger generations of Macau to be able to engage in the “1+4” industrial model.
The same association also wants Sam to improve the financing model of the Macau Foundation for social associations as well as oversee the billing model of e-commerce platforms, among other topics.
