Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture Alexis Tam Chon Weng said yesterday that he would discuss with other policy secretaries alternative locations for the relocation of the about 500 greyhounds from the former racetrack on the peninsula, instead of a plot of land adjacent to the Asilo Vila Madalena retirement home in Coloane.
Tam made the remarks while speaking to reporters during a visit to the retirement home near Coloane Village yesterday morning.
Tam did not mention which policy secretaries he was referring to. The Macau government has five policy secretaries
