The Buzz | TDM top official to retire September 1

The Executive Committee Chairman of public broadcaster TDM, Manuel Gonçalves Pires Júnior, has submitted a request for retirement starting September 1. His coming retirement indicates a successor will likely be announced soon.
First reported by Macau Business, the long-standing civil servant is said to be planning to retire from the public sector altogether.
He was appointed as a non-executive Chairman of TDM’s Board of Directors in March 2011, before being made Chairman of the Executive Committee three years later.
Prior to joining the public broadcaster, Pires held a deputy director role at Macau’s tourism board.
TDM is owned, funded and overseen by the government, which appoints its top officials.
