The Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM) has announced that residents can propose names for the locally-born panda twins from Monday next week until the end of the month.
According to an IACM statement, each resident can only submit one two-name suggestion and explain in no more than 160 Chinese characters why they have chosen the names.
The names can be submitted online (http://www.macaupanda.org.mo/naming) or by collecting a form from any IACM office.
Besides, there will be “big prizes” for the top four winners who will also receive 5,000 patacas each.
