The bust of a large prostitution ring at the Hotel Lisboa serves as a reminder to the operator that security and senior management staff need to review their duties and management, says casino operator SJM’s executive director, Angela Leong.
Regarding the arrest of Hotel Lisboa’s executive director, Alan Ho, in the recent prostitution ring bust, Leong told reporters on the sidelines of a company event yesterday that the hotel hallway of Hotel Lisboa – where sex workers used to linger – “is not a jurisdiction of the Sociedade de Jogos de Macau (SJM).”
“After something like this happening, legal proceedings have been undertaken, so I don’t have a particular comment on this matter,” she stressed. “But I believe that it reminds our security and senior management staff to review how we can each do a better job at fulfilling our responsibilities, along with [reviewing] the entire management, in the future.”
Leong avoided reporters’ further inquiries after presiding over the company’s charity event, which was held to mark the eighth anniversary of its other casino complex, Grand Lisboa.
The company donated MOP80,000 each to two local non-profit organizations, namely the Fuhong Society of Macau and the Macau Special Olympics, and displayed a giant hotel logo made up of 6,888 handmade soaps, which was produced by the two charities. BY
