Jason Chao Teng Hei, the vice-president of the grassroots New Macau Association (NMA), said in a statement on his Facebook page last night that he had decided to resign and withdraw his membership from the grassroots groups.
According to the statement, Chao says that when he was serving as the president of the association, he endeavoured to keep the direction of the group in line with international standards and practices.
“From time to time, I came across the criticism of being too idealistic or favouring elitism. Nonetheless, I chose to stay on the road to excellence, liberty and diversity,” Chao says.
