Located near Macau Tower, the Legislative Assembly building will be open to members of the public between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on the coming Sunday.
During the upcoming Open Day event, the statement said, the public can visit the building’s atrium, the hemicycle used for plenary sessions, the multi-purpose hall, and the meeting rooms used for committee meetings, where information panels will be set up for presentations, while legislators and Legislative Assembly staff members will be there to provide explanations.
During the Open Day event, the statement said, the School of Music and the School of Dance of the Macao Conservatory operated under the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC), as well as Pui Ching Middle School, will arrange for their students to perform at various locations in the Legislative Assembly building.
In addition, the Public Administration and Civil Service Bureau (SAFP) and the Legal Affairs Bureau (DSAJ) will set up information booths and self-service kiosks used for voter registration, with the aim of promoting voter registration and disseminating information on the nation’s Constitution, the Macau Basic Law, and the local Law on Safeguarding National Security.
According to the statement, free shuttle buses will be provided on the Open Day between Hotel Sintra and the Legislative Assembly. The first shuttle bus will depart from Hotel Sintra at 10 a.m., while the last bus will depart from the Legislative Assembly at 6:30 p.m.
