There should be two non-municipal bodies for the Macau peninsula and one for Taipa and Coloane, Zhu Shihai, an associate professor at the Faculty of Law of the private Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST), said yesterday.
Zhu, who holds a PhD in law from Renmin University of China in Beijing, made the remarks on the sidelines of a seminar on the implementation of the Macau Basic Law, at the public Macau Polytechnic Institute (IPM) in Zape.
The professor also said that while most members of the municipal bodies should be directly elected by residents, some could be appointed by the government, pointing out that the Macau Basic Law’s Article 95 about the setting up of municipal organs has still not been implemented.
