The Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM) has decided to give 240,000 to 480,000 patacas as a one-off payment to each former live poultry vendor, the bureau’s President Jose Fonseca Tavares said yesterday.
However, Leong Men Lap, who chairs the Macau Live Poultry Vendors Association, told reporters that most vendors who attended yesterday’s meeting thought that the amount was “too small”.Tavares made the remarks after a closed-door meeting with representatives of the now-defunct live poultry sector at the bureau’s headquarters in Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro.
