Guest speakers and members of the audience at yesterday’s Macau Forum urged the government to preserve Coloane’s Lai Chi Vun Village by not demolishing its ramshackle shipyards.
However, fellow guest speaker Lao Wai Chun, who heads the Navigation Surveillance Division of the Marine and Water Bureau (DSAMA), insisted that the former shipyards need to be demolished as they are on the brink of collapse, causing a potential safety hazard.
The weekly open-air debate is hosted by government-owned broadcast TDM in Areia Preta Park every Sunday.
