Secretary for Security Wong Sio Chak said yesterday that the government will study the possibility of Public Security Police (PSP) officers on duty in or around local casinos being equipped with pepper spray cans.
Wong made the remarks while speaking to reporters after attending a closed-door meeting of the legislature’s 1st Standing Committee, which is reviewing, article-by-article, a government-initiated bill on cybersecurity.
Wong’s remarks came after an incident in which a policeman fired a warning shot outside Galaxy Macau’s Diamond Lobby in Cotai shortly after 11 p.m. on Thursday after three male mainlanders kept attacking him after he had told them to stop smoking in the outdoor but high-ceilinged no-smoking area.
