Macao's newly appointed Secretary for Transport and Public Works
Lau Si Io said? on Friday that he is to raise the transparency
to the public and to fulfill the duty with "practical and honest
attitude."
Lau, former president of the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau,
told a press conference that he is grateful to China's central
government and the government of the Macao Special Administrative
Region (MSAR) for their trust.
He said a significant part of his new job is to implement the
economic development policy of the government, which needs more
effort to communicate with the public.
The official pledged to maintain the cooperation well with the
Commission Against Corruption (CAC), which put his predecessor in
jail last December.
Ao Man Long, former Secretary for Transport and Public Works,
has been in custody for allegedly being involved in a corruption
case.
Lau was appointed by the central government earlier on the
day.
