The Legislative Assembly (AL) yesterday passed the outline of a government-initiated bill enabling Macau’s Lotus Flower border checkpoint to be relocated to the new Hengqin border checkpoint building.
The bill proposes to apply local law on the Macau-side zone of the new Hengqin checkpoint and adjoining areas.
Secretary for Administration and Justice André Cheong Weng Chon introduced the outline of the bill during a plenary session in the legislature’s hemicycle yesterday.
The bill is officially known as “Establishing the Fundamental Norms for the Application of the Macau Special Administrative Region Law on the Macau-side Checkpoint Zone of the Hengqin Checkpoint and Its Adjoining Areas”.
