Local current affairs commentator Choi Chi U says that some of the newcomers to the legislature will make fellow lawmakers adopt a more proactive approach to monitoring the government.
Choi made the remarks while speaking to reporters on Sunday on the sidelines of a forum about the prospects of the legislature’s new term. The forum, organised by the local Roman-Catholic Chinese-language publication Observatório de Macau (“Macau Observer”), was held at the Diocesan Youth Pastoral Centre near the Red Market.
The legislature comprises 14 directly-elected and 12 indirectly-elected members as well as seven members appointed by the chief executive. The composition of the legislature remains the same as in the previous term (2013-2017).
