Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) President Guilherme Ung Vai Meng said yesterday his bureau would initiate a cultural heritage evaluation process for the former Iec Long Firecracker Factory in Taipa as soon as possible.
Ung made the comments at Regency Hotel in Taipa where he attended the opening of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Film Production Investment and Trade Fair.
In a hard-hitting report released by the Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) last month about the controversial Iec Long Firecracker Factory land swap, the anti-graft body pointed out that the bureau had spent more than five million patacas in restoration costs on the dilapidated factory buildings, from 2009 until last year.
