Legislative Assembly (AL) President Ho Iat Seng said yesterday that the legislature would study with the government ways to improve the latter’s submission of urgent taxation bills to the legislature as well as their debate and voting procedures.
Ho, an indirectly-elected lawmaker representing the city’s business sector, is the sole Macau member of the elite Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC) in Beijing.
Ho made the remarks while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the legislature’s Chinese New Year media luncheon at Macau Tower. Suspended lawmaker Sulu Sou Ka Hou attended the luncheon. He has been suspended since early December over an upcoming trial for the alleged crime of aggravated disobedience.
