Government Information Bureau (GCS) Director Victor Chan Chi Ping, who is also the government’s chief spokesman, said yesterday that his bureau would continue to “encourage officials at all levels to make use of different platforms to explain government policies and measures in a simple and understandable way.”
Chan made the pledge in a speech at an annual spring media gathering, hosted by his bureau at Macau Crowne Plaza Hotel.
