Health Bureau (SSM) Director Lei Chin Ion said yesterday that his bureau aims to launch a public consultation on a possible ban of sales of alcohol to minors by the end of this year – i.e. before the term of the current government ends at midnight on December 19.
The government’s bill on such a ban would have to be passed by the legislature to take effect.
Lei made the remarks while speaking to reporters at Macau Tower on the sidelines of an event organised by the Social Welfare Bureau (IAS) to award government entities and social service organisations which have implemented measures for a barrier-free environment for people with disabilities who visit their premises.
