  • “Together, We Fight the Pandemic and Storms” to Support Single Elderly Households Thorough Preparation to Ward Off Disease and Typhoons
    MGM Organizes “Together, We Fight the Pandemic and Storms” to Support Single Elderly Households Thorough Preparation to Ward Off Disease and Typhoons Having a firm belief in the old Chinese saying of “taking care of the elderly as if they were our own parents”, MGM exerts itself to organize a range of community care programs for senior citizens. With the support of the Family and Integrated Community Service Centre of Seac Pai Van of the General Union of Neighborhood Associations of Macau (UGAMM), MGM recently held the “Together, We Fight the Pandemic and Storms” activity to assist senior citizens who are living alone to keep fighting the pandemic and get prepared for the typhoon season. The one-day caring activity comprised several heartwarming gestures, including home cleaning, distribution of daily necessities, complimentary haircut service, as well as provision of door and window inspections for improving home safety. Strictly adhering to anti-pandemic guidelines, over 60 MGM volunteers visited some 50 single elderly households at Edifício Lok Kuan in Seac Pai Van, assisting them to clean their homes to prevent the spread of virus. MGM also presented each household with cooking oil, other food items and anti-pandemic supplies to reduce their living expenses and support their ongoing fight against the pandemic. Considering that the typhoon season has just begun, MGM took this occasion to distribute comprehensive typhoon emergency kits to the elderly to increase their responsiveness to adverse conditions. In addition, 15 specialists of MGM’s Facilities Management Team were assigned to inspect the doors, windows and electrical installations of their units to help enhance home safety.

  • Culture and Sport
    CULTURE AND SPORT Culture and Sport Culture and Sport Eastern and western cultures have co-existed in Macao for over 400 years. A wide variety of cultural traditions, languages, values, religious beliefs, and customs have all existed side by side and influenced one another. Out of this melting pot, a regional culture unique to Macao has gradually developed into its present richness. Macao’s culture is thus a diverse mixture, with traditional Chinese culture as its heart, and it has assimilated Western, particularly Portuguese, cultural influences in perfect harmony. Following its policy of promoting Chinese culture while preserving the unique pluralistic cultural heritage of Macao, the Government has hosted various cultural and artistic activities invited art troupes from mainland China and overseas, as well as Macao, to perform. These have created opportunities for audiences to learn more about the history, society, and culture of different regions, as well as enhancing cultural exchange and the quality of cultural life of Macao’s residents. Cultural Affairs Bureau The Cultural Affairs Bureau is a Government department that sets out the Government’s key objectives in cultural matters. The bureau is responsible for protecting cultural heritage, giving guidance on aesthetic appreciation, supporting community organisations, nurturing talent in arts and culture, developing local cultural industries, as well as organising cultural entertainment programmes, such as concerts, exhibitions, seminars, music classes, dance, drama courses, Macao International Parade, Macao International Music Festival, Macao Arts Festival, Macao City Fringe Festival, Chinese Culture and Natural Heritage Day, Macao Youth Music Competition and Macao Annual Visual Arts Exhibition. It also provides subsidies for different cultural and art programmes as well as scholarships to support the publication of research and advanced studies about arts.

  • Ultimate Kid-Friendly Itinerary for 1 Or 2 Days in Macau, China
    The 2 Idiots Travel Blog http://www.2idiotstravel.com Ultimate Kid-Friendly Itinerary for 1 or 2 Days in Macau, China Why do The 2 Idiots recommend Macau? We hate when we read travel websites that do nothing but rave about how wonderful every destination is. It’s misleading. We want to be honest about our experiences, and we honestly don’t recommend families visit Macau. It is a nice enough place, super new and super clean, and one of the only places in China you can gamble. Unlike Las Vegas, however, it just doesn’t have the same energy and things to do with kids. Unless you want to visit to gamble and play games in the casinos, which are nice and super expensive (more expensive than Las Vegas!), it’s just not on our list of cities to visit with kids. CREATING AN IDEAL ITINERARY Although most people visit Macau for a day trip from Hong Kong, as it’s just an hour by ferry across the Zhejiang River Estuary, we have created a 2-day itinerary, should you like to see more of the city. We both loved discovering the older districts of Macau, which was formerly under Portuguese control. It’s a wonderful blend of Portuguese and Chinese culture — a bit of east meets west — so if you have the chance to explore more than the new Macau and its brand-new, beautiful casinos, take the time to do so. Logistics Macau’s newest and biggest resorts are Sands Cotai Central and the sister properties of the Las Vegas casino resorts, the Venetian and the Parisian.

  • A Case Study of Macau, China
    © 2002 WIT Press, Ashurst Lodge, Southampton, SO40 7AA, UK. All rights reserved. Web: www.witpress.com Email [email protected] Paper from: The Sustainable City II, CA Brebbia, JF Martin-Duque & LC Wadhwa (Editors). ISBN 1-85312-917-8 Urban regeneration and the sustainability of colonial built heritage: a case study of Macau, China L Chaplain School of Language and Translation, Macau Polytechnic Institute, China Abstract This paper presents a case study of late twentieth century urban regeneration in the former Portuguese colonial territory of Macau – now designated as a Special Administrative Region of China (Macau SAR). Regeneration in this context is defined and discussed here under the headings: regeneration through reclamation; regeneration through infi-astructure investment; regeneration through preserva- tion. The new Macau SAR Government continues to differentiate Macau fi-om its neighbors by promoting the legacy of a tourist-historic city with a unique archi- tectural fhsion of both West and East as an integral feature of the destination’s marketing strategy. However, regeneration of urban space through reclamation has led to a proliferation of high rise buildings with arguable architectural merit which diminish the appeal of the overwhelmed heritage properties and sites. Future plans for the development of the territory are outlined, including major projects designed to enhance the tourism product through purpose-built leisure and entertainment facilities. 1 Introduction The urban regeneration of the City of Macau can be attributed to significant developments which occurred in the last century of its four hundred years of exis- tence as a Portuguese occupied territory located in China’s southern province of Guangdong – formerly known as Canton.

  • MGM Continues Its Philanthropic Chinese New Year Tradition for the Elderly Offering Spring Cleaning and Haircuts to Seniors for Ten Straight Years
    MGM Continues its Philanthropic Chinese New Year Tradition for the Elderly Offering Spring Cleaning and Haircuts to Seniors for Ten Straight Years As the Chinese New Year draws closer, MGM recently held caring events to warm the hearts of the elderly in keeping with its philanthropic tradition. For the tenth consecutive year, the Company organized spring cleaning, provided complimentary haircuts, massage and celebrated CNY with them. As part of MGM’s effort to send care and festive wishes in the community, the series of caring events benefitted a total of 470 senior citizens. This year, MGM partnered with a small-to-medium-sized cleaning company to carry on this decade-old tradition at Mong Ha Elderly Center of Macau Federation of Trade Unions (FAOM), Seac Pai Van Family and Community Service Center of General Union of Neighborhood Associations of Macau (UGAMM), and Centro de Dia Brilho da Vida of Caritas Macau. Communal areas such as assembly rooms, activity rooms, dining halls and washrooms, were cleaned and sanitized professionally to give the senior citizens a peace of mind. In addition, Wendy Yu, Executive Vice President of Human Resources of MGM, led volunteers to spread festive cheer at the three centers, with the participation of Ng Sio Lai, President of UGAMM; Leong Iok Wa, Consultant and Vice-Director of Social Service of FAOM; and Pun Chi Meng, Secretary General of Caritas Macau respectively. The seniors were delighted by lion dance and singing performances, as well as fun games brought by the volunteers. As a token of blessings, MGM presented them with gift bags prepared by Fuhong Society of Macau, which contained oatmeal, longevity noodles, pre-packaged Chinese soup, MGM Lunar New Year banners, as well as assistive tools like magnifying nail-clipper.

However, this bleak scenario did not materialise. The aim of this paper is to analyse the reasons behind this longevity – mainly, during the first decade-and-a-half of Mao Zedong’s regime, when the leadership of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) held officially to a rather strong revolutionary, anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist posture. Resumo Aquando da iminente tomada de poder pelo Partido Comunista Chinês (PCC) na China Continental em 1949, os decisores portugueses em Macau e em Portugal temeram pelo colapso do exíguo enclave e a precipitação do princípio do fim do império portu- guês.
