Chief Executive, Mr Chui Sai On, encourages young people to pursue their personal goals.
The Chief Executive, Mr Chui Sai On, said he would encourage Macao’s young people to make unremitting efforts to improve themselves, and to strive for the pursuit of their goals. He added that the Government would create more favourable conditions to support young people’s education, employment and business start-up opportunities. The policy is highlighted in the recently released proposal for Macao’s first Five-Year Development Plan. The development blueprint covers the period from 2016 to 2020. Mr Chui made his comments on the expansion of youth opportunities in an article released in his online column “Words from the Chief Executive”. It was published on Wednesday (4 May), coinciding with Youth Day in China. He said there was a direct relationship between the city’s achievements and the contributions to the economy made by successive generations of young people. From his past experience in the field of education, Mr Chui understood that developing the qualities of the younger generations of Macao people was important to the city’s future. The Government would work closely with schools, the community and parents to cultivate a generation of principled and highly responsible young people; and to promote among them love for the country and love for Macao, he said. The full text of the article is published in Chinese and Portuguese, and is available on the website of the Chief Executive’s Office (https://www.gce.gov.mo). “Words from the Chief Executive” is a new section on the website, in which the Chief Executive shares with the general public his thoughts and opinions regarding society, the economy and the livelihood of the people.
