Guest speakers and members of the audience at yesterday’s Macau Forum accused the government of “sluggishness” in drafting a bill regulating the city’s lift operations.
The weekly open-air debate is hosted by government-owned broadcaster TDM in Areia Preta Park every Sunday.
The focus of yesterday’s forum was on the city’s lift operations safety in response to a lift accident in a residential building early this month in which a 12-year-old boy fractured his right thigh after getting stuck between the closing doors of a lift. In the accident at Long Yuen Building in Rua de Francisco Xavier Pereira, the boy was in the lift with his parents when it stopped on the 15th floor. As the boy was leaving the lift the doors suddenly closed trapping him between them.
