The grassroots New Macau Association (NMA) petitioned Chinese-language newspaper Macao Daily News yesterday, urging the city’s best-selling newspaper to “correct the mistakes” it – allegedly – made in a report about the group and publish a revised version of the report.
Speaking to reporters yesterday outside Macao Daily News Building in Avenida de Venceslau de Morais, Paul Chan Wai Chi, an NMA board member, said some of the contents of a report published in the newspaper yesterday were “unfounded”.
The report, headlined “Electoral groups led by millennials”, said that “the New Macau Association split into two lists to run in the direct election in 2013”, adding the group “split into three groups this year... headed by a member of the post-90s generation Sulu Sou Ka Hou.
